Before coming to Yunnan, I had always been considering whether to travel by car or travel with a group. Later, after repeated persuasion from friends and considering that Yunnan's scenic spots were scattered and there were many mountain roads in the plateau areas, I no longer had time to do such detailed homework and lacked the physical strength and I wanted to play comfortably. It would not work without locals to take you. So I chose to travel with a group.

The following is the itinerary of my trip.

Day 1: Arrive in Kunming

First of all, the air ticket from Guangzhou to Kunming is a bit expensive. To be honest, the price is a bit expensive based on the temporarily determined time during the Golden Week. You should have booked it earlier to save a lot of money.

After arriving in Kunming on the first day, the local travel agency driver drove a commercial vehicle to pick us up and took us to the hotel to rest.

The car was very comfortable to sit in. When I arrived at the hotel, I found that the hotel had a hot spring to soak in. Overall, the service was very good.

Day 2: Shilin-Dianchi Lake-Chuxiong

After breakfast the next day, we drove to Shilin, a nationally famous 5A-level scenic spot.

When you go to the Stone Forest, you can not only enjoy the unique Castel landform, but also enjoy the fairytale ice and snow ocean world. You can also go to the Naigu Stone Forest to watch the large Gesang Flower Sea. In fact, what attracts me in the stone forest is not the strange stones, nor the wonderful ice and snow ocean world, but the beautiful Gesang Flower Sea. I think, as long as you are a person who loves life, there is no one who doesn't love flowers, right? I didn't know when and where I saw pictures of the Gesang flowers in the Naigu Stone Forest. I was deeply attracted at that time, and a strong wish suddenly emerged in my heart to witness this beautiful Gesang flower with my own eyes. September to October every year is the period when Gesang flowers are in full bloom. It is perfect to visit Gesang flowers during the holidays. It is said that I am going to Shilin, but in fact, I mainly went to see flowers.

1. It is the ancient stone forest

Before 9 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the entrance of the scenic spot. At this time, the sky was blue and the sun was right. When I saw this beautiful sea of flowers, I was shocked. Red, pink and white Gesang flowers are intertwined to form a sea of flowers. The black stone forest is hidden around the flowers. It is really beautiful!

2. Shilin Scenic Area

After shopping around the sea of flowers for more than an hour, we set off for the Shilin Scenic Area without finishing our breath. The Shilin Scenic Area has a total area of 350 square kilometers. It was established in 1931 and was listed as one of the first batch of 5A-level scenic spots in the country in 1982. Famous for its various strange and colorful stones, it is one of the famous Castel areas and an artistic treasure given by nature to mankind.

， 3: Red-billed gulls in Dianchi Lake

After visiting Shilin, we took the journey bus provided by the travel agency to Dianchi Lake

Get off the bus and walk forward and you will see Dianchi Lake.

If the weather is good, the lake is sparkling and beautiful!

There is a glass plank road next to it

Follow Dianchi Lake towards Haigeng Dam

There is a cableway to the West Mountain in the middle

There are also some attractions that sell snacks and take photos

Internet celebrity glass balls or something

It's not expensive, and it provides clothing...

And pigeons.

You can buy feed (they are very discerning, sprinkle a little bit on the ground, and a flock of people will stumble towards you ~)

Haigen Dam is still a long way to walk

It's actually a square next to the sea

Flocks of red-billed gulls can be seen there. I heard that they all flew over from Siberia.

Four: Take a bus to Chuxiong to eat local specialty wild mushroom hot pot

At first, when I saw those fungi, I didn't dare to eat them. Later, Wang Jingze really possessed them and warned them.

Day 3: Take a bus to Dali-Erhai Lake-Yacht-Take photos

After breakfast, we took a convertible jeep provided by the travel agency and headed to Dali. The scenery on the road was very beautiful, and the guide passed by was a little better. All the attractions we visited would stop for us to take photos.

After arriving at Erhai Lake, we took photos at Erbin Bay, the Internet celebrity shooting site on Yanhuanhai West Road, and continued to go to the Xiaogu Sparrow Garden on the west coast of Jiangpeng Village. The Huahai set up various Internet celebrity shooting props to shoot, such as Internet celebrity glass balls. Dali welcomes you. Door frames, Internet celebrity shooting tables, antique bicycles, cartoon convertible jeeps and other props (4 people per car), and took a lot of photos.

After taking the photos, the travel agency arranged a meal for us, which still looked quite sumptuous.

After dinner, we took a private yacht arranged for us by the travel agency to enjoy the most beautiful scenery of the Erhai Lake. There was no trouble with crowded people and no hustle and bustle. On the exclusive yacht, we allowed you to travel around the most beautiful Erhai Lake in 360 degrees., and fully enjoy your Erhai Lake time. Have a deep encounter with Erhai Lake.

After that, we boarded the national AAA tourist area [Luoquan Peninsula]. Its island is located on the east bank of the Erhai Lake in Dali. The peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides and has beautiful scenery. It is similar to Dali Ancient Tourism. Facing the city across the sea, it is an excellent geographical location to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Cangshan and Erhai. It is an important scenic spot in Dali.

After that, we went to the Tianjing Pavilion, one of the four famous pavilions in the Erhai Lake. It stands at the southern foot of Xiangbi Ridge, Yuan Mountain on the east bank of the Erhai Lake

On the Luoquan Peninsula.

In the evening, we went to the ancient city of Dali and visited Foreign Street. The ancient city of Dali is also known as Ye Yu City, Forbidden City, and Zhonghe Town. The current ancient city was built on The 15th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1382). The word "Dali" at the head of the door is a collection of Guo Moruo's calligraphy. The streets in the city have a typical checkerboard layout, with Some old houses can still be traced to their former appearance. The courtyards are filled with flowers and trees, the singing of birds, and the gurgling water in outdoor streams and canals.

Try the special snack [Tuba Bowl] for dinner and check into the hotel.

Day 4: Dali handicraft processing-Lashihai-Lijiang Ancient City

Dali has a vast territory and abundant resources and a long history. The people here are not only good at singing and dancing, but also hardworking and intelligent. From ancient times to the present, many handicrafts are still circulating, and they Inheritance is also the flow of culture. Handmade tie-dyeing, pottery making, silverware firing... each craft is praised.

tie-dyed

Dali Bai tie-dyeing, a century-old technique, is the essence of Dali handicrafts. The materials selected for tie-dyeing, cotton, linen, silk, as well as the main dyes for tie-dyeing, are all derived from the pure health of nature.

After participating in Dali handicraft processing, we went for lunch. After eating, we drove to Lashihai. Browse the Lashihai Tea and Horse Ancient Road and experience the most primitive horse-caravan culture.

All racecourse in Lashihai are built around lakes, but the boating areas of each racecourse are different from heaven and earth. The good areas are indeed the same color as the sea and the sky, and the bottom is clear, while the poor areas are the ones that are all covered with water and grass. The view is very narrow.

After dinner, the travel agency presented us with a large-scale song and dance performance with local characteristics, worth 260 yuan/person [Lishui Jinsha]. In the form of dance, poetry and painting, it gathered the unique ethnic cultural atmosphere of the northwest Yunnan Plateau bred by Lijiang's strange mountains and rivers. The ancient cultural treasures of the ancient Naxi Kingdom selected the most representative cultural images of all ethnic groups in Lijiang, and comprehensively displayed Lijiang's unique and broad national culture with water and mountain conditions.

After watching the song and dance performances, we went to the ancient city of Lijiang. The streets in the ancient city of Lijiang are built around mountains and rivers and paved with red breccia. They include Sifang Street, Mufu, Wufenglou, Black Dragon Pool, Wenchang Palace, Wang Pizhen Memorial Hall, Xueshan Academy, Wangjiazhuang Christian Church, Fang Guoyu's former residence, Baima Longtan Temple, Gu Peter's former residence, Jinglian Temple, Puxian Temple and other scenic spots. Lijiang is one of the second batch of approved historical and cultural cities in China. It is one of the two ancient cities in China that have successfully declared the entire ancient city for a World Cultural Heritage.

Everyone has an ancient city of Lijiang in their hearts, where there are small bridges and flowing water, willows and willows, flowers in full bloom, blue skies and white clouds, and ancient melodious wind chimes.

Day 5: Shuhe Ancient Town + Yulong Snow Mountain + Lanyue Valley

After breakfast, go to the important town of the Tea Horse Ancient Road [Shuhe Ancient Town]. Shuhe Ancient Town is another ancient city in Lijiang. The ancient cities are similar and there is not much difference in architectural styles. However, Shuhe Ancient Town is quieter and peaceful than the ancient city of Lijiang. Even in the peak season, there are fewer people, so you can take many beautiful photos.

Shuhe, known as "Shaowu" in Naxi language, is formed by spread and variation because the mountains behind the village are like peaks. The village is named after the mountains, meaning "the village under the peak." It is the earliest settlement of Naxi ancestors in Lijiang Bazi. It is an important well-preserved market town on the ancient tea-horse road. It is also a living specimen of the transition of Naxi ancestors from farming civilization to commercial civilization. It is a model of market town construction formed by opening up to the outside world and horse gang activities. Shuhe is an important part of the ancient city of Lijiang, a world cultural heritage.

After the tour, we took a tourist bus to the national 5A-level scenic spot [Yulong Scenic Area] known as "Eastern Switzerland".

Take the [Glacier Cableway] Yulong Cableway from Lijiang Ancient City to the north for about 35 kilometers and west for about 5 kilometers from Ganhaizi Snow Villa. Then we arrived at the lower station at the foot of the snowy mountain. This is the starting point of the snowy mountain cableway. It is a dense virgin forest. The altitude is 3356 meters above sea level. The cableway runs upward from here to the upper station just below the main peak of the snowy mountain. There is a altitude of 4506 meters above sea level. The cableway has a total length of 2914 meters and a vertical height difference of 1150 meters. It is one of the highest tourist passenger ropeways in my country.

After playing, we came to the Blue Moon Valley at the foot of the mountain.

Lanyue Valley is located in the valley north of Ganhaizi at the eastern foot of Yulong and south of Yunshanping. The ancient ice and snow originating from the snowy mountains and glaciers melted and flowed down the cliffs, constantly gathering into mountain streams and streams, and finally forming a crystal clear and extremely sweet river in the deep valley in the upper reaches of the Blue Moon Valley.

The river water in the Blue Moon Valley was blocked by mountains during its flow, forming four large water surfaces, known as the "Yuye" Lake, the "Jingtan" Lake, the "Blue Moon" Lake and the "Tingtao" Lake. The four sides of the lake are lush with lush vegetation, backed by snowy peaks in the distance. The lake water is transparent blue, and in the almost solidified blue light, a little green dot it.

When we went, I was quite impressed by the beautiful Blue Moon Valley.

When we went back in the evening, we went to eat the famous Huotang chicken in Lijiang.

After dinner, the travel agency arranged a train for us to return to Kunming.

Day 6: Dounan Flower Market-Going Home

After breakfast, the travel agency took us to Yunnan's famous Dounan Flowers. Dounan Flowers is located in the flower market in Dounan Town, Chengqu District, Yunnan Province. It is the largest fresh cut flower trading center in China. With the development of the industry, it has now developed into a model integrating logistics transportation, flower trading, flower research and development, cultivation and planting. There are many types of flowers, including fresh cut flowers, dried flowers, bonsai flowers, fleshy flowers, green plants, etc.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a huge smell of mixed flowers coming to my face, and I almost fainted from the smoke. If you are a person who loves life and flowers, you can definitely be here Stroll here all day! The point is that the flowers here are very cheap, and you can even bargain with merchants. This saying,"The Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan, Flowers are sold by the catty" This is Dounan Flower Market. Dried flowers are basically weighed by kilogram. In the flower market, you can buy a large bunch at the usual price of a flower. It is really more expensive than white vegetables!

I couldn't help but buy a lot of flowers and send them back to my hometown.

Afterwards, the travel agency drove us to the airport in a business car, and we ended our trip to Yunnan.
