There are many beautiful attractions in Yunnan. The most famous attractions are Stone Forest, Ancient City of Lijiang, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Shangri-La, Lugu Lake, Dali Erhai Lake, Xishuangbanna Wild Elephant Valley, etc. The scenic spots span a relatively large span and all revolve around Kunming. If you haven't been there, you will be a little confused how to play. The most convenient place is Kunming, where you can visit directly by plane or train.
I went to Yunnan with a group of friends and found a local private guide recommended by my best friend to arrange the itinerary and accommodation. There are no forced shopping or other hidden consumption during the game. We all had a very good time ~
A brief description of the route we have taken:
Day 1: The plane arrives in Kunming, they pick up the plane-check into a local hot spring hotel;
Day 2: Kunming---Shilin 5A Scenic Spot--Chuxiong checked into the hotel;
Day 3: Chuxiong-Dali-Ancient City of Dali (Ancient Capital of Nanzhao State)-Jeep Tour Around the Erhai Lake-Internet celebrity check-in points of flowers and sky mirror-Dali Hotel;
Day 4: Dali Chongsheng Three Towers (Scenic Spot 5A)-Erhai Lake Mail Boat-In the afternoon, go to Lijiang-Lijiang Ancient City-Lijiang Hotel;
Day 5: Lijiang Yulong Snow Mountain-Lashihai Wetland Park (horse riding + boating)-Lijiang Lishui Jinsha Performance-Lijiang Return to Kunming by train;
Day 6: Kunming South Asia Flower Expo Center---Delivery
This route should be regarded as the most essential route. The tour guide planned it very reasonably. We went to the attractions we wanted to visit most. The price was relatively affordable. We spent less than 2,000 yuan on the entire trip. The most important thing is that there is no compulsory consumption. I was afraid of this before coming to Yunnan. This is very good and has no routine.
There are a lot of soliciting customers in Yunnan. This is also a common routine in tourist cities. The price is unimaginable. For example, a 2-day tour of Shangri-La only requires about 500 people per person. If you participate, you won't be able to get it without 1 to 2 thousand. Shopping there is very strong, so don't be tempted by the low price. We met two students there, and it is said that the fare to go back has been "purchased".
Lijiang Sifang Street is the center of the ancient city. Four main streets extend around the street center, namely Qiyi Street, Wuyi Street, Xinhua Street and East Street. Snacks are everywhere around. Xinhua Street next to it is Lijiang's famous bar street, with an endless stream of tourists every night.
Lugu Lake is really beautiful and pure, like a paradise. No wonder so many people love it
The few days of travel were quite enjoyable, mainly because there was not enough time, otherwise we could visit Xishuangbanna again, which would be perfect! Xishuangbanna has always been something I have longed for. The tour guide said that it was not on the same line and would take three to four days. Unfortunately, I can only go next time!
As a snack, although I haven't tasted all Yunnan's delicacies, I have collected many suggestions from netizens and my own favorites:
Yunnan Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles: Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles consists of three parts: soup, slices, rice noodles, and seasoning. The taste is rich, delicious and nutritious.
Milk fan: It is made of fresh milk or goat milk. Friends who like to drink milk should like it. They can be eaten raw or fried.
Bait blocks: Bait blocks are processed from high-quality rice. The production process is to wash, soak, steam, pound and knead the rice into various shapes. Generally divided into three types: block, silk and slices. The production method can be cooked, boiled, stir-fried, stewed, steamed, or fried. The flavors are different and you will never get tired of eating for a long time. Among the eighteen monsters in Yunnan, there is one: rice cakes and dumplings. I love it very much. I love all kinds of eating methods.
Xizhou Baba: Made from wheat flour, there are two flavors: sweet and salty.
Fenghua Xueyue handmade yogurt: Personally, I think it's very delicious, about 15 yuan per bottle.
PS
About dressing: I always thought Yunnan would be very hot, but I didn't wear the short sleeves I took! I have just returned home from a tour in Yunnan. The temperature difference between morning and evening there is a big difference. Basically, I need to wear a small coat in the morning with a long sleeve during the day. Because I have to go to the snowy mountains and get a small down jacket, I have to wear it every night...
About sun protection: Yunnan has a high altitude, extremely strong ultraviolet rays, and strong wind. Be sure to bring sunglasses and high-factor sunscreen. Girls should bring some whitening and moisturizing masks, moisturizing hand cream or body lotion, and lip balm. You will regret it if you don't wear it!
About traps: There have been a lot of negative reports about Yunnan tourism before, which is the reason why I read N many guide travel notes before I went, because I was afraid of being cheated! In fact, after going there, I felt that most of the locals were still very nice! There are not so many pitfalls for free travel! Just don't trust soliciting people so easily.
