precautions

1. Sunburn! Sunburn! Sunburn! Yunnan is a high-altitude area, so sunscreen and physical sunscreen (sunglasses, hats, sunscreen clothing) must be done at the same time.

2. The weather in Yunnan changes rapidly and an umbrella is needed.

3. Bring anti-mosquito spray and anti-mosquito stickers with you (you can also buy them from local supermarkets).

4. Yunnan is relatively dry, so you should replenish water and drink plenty of water at any time and prepare for spraying.

5. Due to the high altitude and low air pressure, the body will easily fart and hiccup in order to maintain a balance between the inside and outside the body (personal summary).

6. It is recommended not to take a black car!! Using regular ride-sharing software can ensure personal safety and distance prices.

7. Don't easily believe the recommendations of the inn owner. Be firm in your arrangements and be confident in yourself. Gather together and find a regular travel agency instead of reporting at the inn.

8. If you live in an ancient town, you should contact the innkeeper in advance and ask him to pick up your suitcase at the door, otherwise the roads in the ancient town will fight with the wheels of your suitcase.

9. Kunming can be ignored directly if time is limited. There is nothing fun to do. It is usually used as a transit. If you have more time, you can go and take a look.

Day 1 Shanghai-Kunming

In order to save time for travel and play, I booked a flight from Shanghai at around 8 p.m. on Friday, and it was nearly 12 p.m. to Kunming Airport. At that time, considering that the airport was far away from the city (taking a taxi for nearly an hour), I made do with staying in a nearby small hotel. Stayed for one night.

PS: The environment of hotels near the airport is relatively poor. Although basically all provide pick-up services, it is recommended to live in the urban area. The overall prices of hotels in Kunming are low. (For friends who don't want to play in Kunming, it is recommended to set off directly to Dali the next day!)

Day 2 Kunming

I didn't get up too early the next morning. It was already noon when I arrived at the hotel in the city. That day, I stayed in a small villa converted B & B with a better location. There was a small area of villa areas there, all of which were home-owned B & Bs and there were many choices. There is a large supermarket nearby, which makes it convenient to purchase snacks, etc.

For brunch, I chose a well-praised beef rice noodle restaurant near the B & B. In order to find this restaurant, I also walked around Wanda Plaza. The rice noodle is divided into large and small bowls. The difference between eating it and the difference is 2/3. The large and small bowls of rice noodle are sufficient and you can choose your own seasoning. The store also provides local seasoning methods, and the taste is also very authentic. You can see a large pot of soup made with beef and beef bones on the left hand side of the store door, and various stewed vegetables on the right side are more than ten yuan per person. I also ordered a marinated vegetable platter, and the dipping ingredient was probably Shan Shan dipped in water. It was very fragrant chili powder, which became more delicious the more I chew it.

After eating, I took a taxi to Minzu Village. The ethnic village condenses the different characteristics of Yunnan's 26 ethnic minorities one by one. You can focus on understanding several ethnic groups and help the subsequent journey (Dali-Bai, Lijiang-Naxi, Lugu Lake-Mosuo, Shangri-La-Tibetan, Xishuangbanna-Dai, Yi, etc.).

In the evening, on the recommendation of the driver, I went to the Yunnan Yi style restaurant near the accommodation and ordered local chicken soup, ribs, roasted tilapia, cold tree flowers, Jianshui tofu, fried wild vegetables, etc. Among them, the cold tree flowers taste more special, and tilapia is also roasted very delicious. It is also the most expensive meal in Yunnan, with an average of 90 per capita. (In fact, only local chicken soup and pork ribs are a little more expensive, which is still much cheaper than Shanghai)

Generally speaking, Kunming is only famous for its attractions in Dianchi Lake. Friends who have more time can come and have a trip, or they can also serve as a transfer point like us, because air tickets are cheaper than Lijiang Dali. Kunming-Dali-Lijiang is also a line, and you can also go to Xishuangbanna. Take another line. If time is tight, you can fly directly to Lijiang, where the scenic spots are relatively concentrated.

Day 3 Kunming-Dali

The bullet train arrived in Dali at around 9 a.m.(Kunming has bullet trains to Dali and Lijiang, both of which are more convenient), and stayed in the sea view room in Xiaoguan Village, Xiaguan Town, which is close to the Railway Station. It was 20 meters away from the sea and separated by the Erhai Trail. Dali City is basically composed of several towns around the Erhai Lake. Xiaguan Town is the city center of Dali. The scenic spots are mainly distributed in Dali Ancient Town, Xizhou Town, Shuanglang Town, etc.

At noon, I ate copper pot pickled cabbage beef recommended by the boss that all local people like to eat, and I was almost full at noon (this restaurant is in the village, and I can't find it if it is not nearby). I ordered pickled fresh beef and beef offal, choose your own vegetables, and the shredded radish in the sour soup base was very appetizing. We also found the first local drink in Yunnan.

After eating, I walked along the Erhai Trail in front of the hotel for a while. The Erhai Lake was basically enclosed. After coming here, the hotel along the Erhai Lake also retreated dozens of meters, and the water quality was much better.

I ran into Dai snacks on the roadside. Shake the cake is similar to Indian flying cake, which is softer and more fragrant. Paoluda is a drink similar to dessert.

I took a taxi to the ancient city of Dali. The ancient city was full of local aunts who helped my sister weave colorful braids. I was so surrounded that I had no choice but to follow the Romans. Later, I discovered that every scenic spot in Yunnan had one. There were not many people in the ancient city, and many stores were not open. It felt very ordinary. After walking outside the ancient city for a long time, I found a Dai pilaf restaurant. The taste was not bad, but many dishes were repeated. The medium dishes were similar to the small ones. Maybe because I had dinner too late (it didn't get dark until 8:30 in Yunnan), my stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so I didn't go to Bar Street. I missed the big ice cabin and thought there would be another one in Lijiang, but unfortunately it was the only one in Yunnan.

Day 4 Dali (Tour Around Erhai Lake)-Double Corridor

I booked a jeep tour around the sea. There are professional photographers responsible for taking photos and playing while taking photos. Four people have a colored jeep. There are about 50 photos and 9 refined photos. Don't miss it for young ladies who like to take photos. Their photographer is great!

The weather is beautiful, the sky is very bright in the morning and there are few blue clouds. After half a day, I got sunburned. In fact, travel photography means that companies find some places with better scenery to put some props for photography, such as sky landscapes and ladders. The results of the photos taken are good.

I found a restaurant with local Bai characteristics in Shuanglang for dinner. Pickled fish + whitebait scrambled eggs + fried wild vegetables (rice amaranth)+ sour plum soup.

Day 5 Double Corridor-Shuhe Ancient Town

In the morning, I ate local spicy rice noodles (sour soup rice noodles/small pot rice noodles). Students who like spicy food can try it. After casually strolling around the double corridors, Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace were just so-so. The Pan Xiangji flower cakes near the south gate when we left Shuanglang were the best in this trip to Yunnan in terms of appearance and taste. The car contacted by the innkeeper stood up when he reached the door. After waiting for nearly an hour, he decisively took a taxi back to the city and took a train to Lijiang as planned. The train from Dali to Lijiang ran once a day. It was difficult to buy it before, but this time I could still buy it on the same day. I felt like having a double sleeper converted into a hard seat. (I originally wanted Shuanglang to go closer to Lijiang, but it would be more reliable to buy a regular bus). It is recommended here that if you have too much luggage, you can choose to take a special bus. You can take both Shuanglang and Dali Ancient City, and go directly to Lijiang Ancient City or Shuhe. This is more convenient. You can find a travel agency to purchase tickets on your behalf.

It took about 30 minutes to get off the Lijiang Railway Station and take a taxi to Shuhe Ancient Town. There were very few people in Shuhe, and it felt a little deserted. At night, I went to Naxi Huotang, where you could barbecue meat around a hot pot in the middle. Maybe we didn't cook the pork ribs long enough, they were very salty. The steamed tofu will burst into pulp, but I don't know what other ingredients are added. Another highlight is the resident singer, who can be found in almost every restaurant. Fortunately, the singer A Nan sang well that day, which is a style I like. In the second scene, I ordered "Chengdu" and sang well. After getting familiar with it, he sang more and more, revealing his true colors.

Day 6 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

It takes more than 40 minutes to go to the snowy mountains from Shuhe Ancient Town. Considering the transportation problem and the fact that it is particularly troublesome to buy tickets for the Yulong Snow Mountain Cableway, we chose to find Miss Zhao Min and sign up for a pure fun group through a friend's recommendation. The experience was good and the master was very enthusiastic. Tickets for the cableway are limited every day. During the epidemic, only 7000 tickets are sold a day. Tickets cannot be purchased on site. It is too troublesome. It is enough to enter and rely on an ID card. It is best to stand when resting, otherwise you will feel breathless and uncomfortable when you sit and get up. Climbing to 4680, there will be a radio saying not to stay too long, so take a photo and card and go down the mountain. It feels like going down the mountain quickly and there is no need to rest much. I heard from the introduction that Snow Kitchen's food might not be used to it, so we prepared our own self-heating hot pot. After eating, all the Blue Moon Valley that I followed the car to take wedding photos. At least three couples of newlyweds are on the lake, and they rely on themselves to get the photo position. However, this lake is very beautiful. It looks like jade when viewed closely and from a distance. In the afternoon, I returned to the inn and looked for dinner.

Environment:

Location in Shuhe Ancient Town, the environment is particularly good

Services:

During the epidemic, coupled with the recent off-season tourism, there were not many people and the service was particularly good

The signature small pot of rice is my favorite. It's very delicious. I picked all the potatoes in it and ate it. The rice is also very fragrant. It's such a big pot, but my stomach is too small to finish it.

The dried pork ribs taste good. They are not a dish we don't have there. This is the first time I have eaten them, and they are not bad.

It is a great restaurant in terms of overall taste, service, and cost performance. It is worth checking in!

Day 7 Shuhe Ancient Town-Lugu Lake

I still went to Lugu Lake with Miss Zhao Min in a group of 10 people. I chose a pure tour group. 590 per person included all expenses. I stayed in a lake-view room. The master was a local Mosuo person and his Mandarin was not very good. Everything else was very good. Overall, the experience was very good. Transportation to Lugu Lake was not very convenient. I suggest that everyone sign up for this pure tour group, which would be more worry-free.

On the way, we passed the observation deck with eighteen bends, the first bend of the Yangtze River, and listened to enthusiastic drivers telling local stories along the way.

The first major attraction is the walking wedding bridge on Caohai-the world's largest Magpie Bridge. Looking at the introduction beside the bridge, it is said that we should walk across this bridge hand in hand. There is a horse riding place by the bridge, which is a bit smelly. There is a simple small shop on the left hand side of the bridge. Many local specialties and local decorations purchased may have been closed due to the impact of the epidemic.

Brightly colored pig trough boats (pig trough boats are because they look like pigs eat troughs)

In the group's ten-meter sea view room on Lugu Lake, the lady boss will participate in the evening bonfire performance. I wonder if the renovation of Lugu Lake will be demolished.

Dinner: Firewood chicken.

Arrived in the afternoon, the weather is not so good.

Bonfire performance in the evening/Two games a day at 19:00 and 20:00. When we signed up, we had not resumed performing due to the epidemic. We had just resumed two days ago, so we had to wear masks when we went in to watch the performance. No matter which game you watch, you need to queue up at the door a quarter of an hour in advance. In the end, it's still very interesting for everyone to jump on the bonfire together, but there are too many people and the venue is too small.

Day 8 Lugu Lake-Ancient City of Lijiang

Because I had seen the sunrise in the Erhai Lake, I chose to sleep until I woke up naturally. When I woke up, I opened the curtains and saw the blue sky, so I quickly went out to admire the painting again.

Lugu Lake

Tianyun Mountain Mountain Yuntian

Is this the mirror of nature! I got I got

Lugu Lake

This is the source of Lugu Lake, and all the water in the lake comes from below. Because the weather was really good in the morning, you could see many colors in the lake.

A postcard from Lugu Lake-Ligg Peninsula, but the island is full of B & Bs, so it is not easy to visit.

I arrived at the last attraction-Lovers Beach. This is the place where I can see the most wild poplar flowers in the past few days.

Lugu Lake National Scenic Area-Lovers Beach

The next day's group meal-hand-pilaf rice. There is no way to compare it with what you go to find. But the taste is okay.

Lugu Lake

I returned to Lijiang the same way, but stayed in Lijiang Ancient Town tonight. The friends I met in the group recommended visiting Zhongyi Market in the ancient town. After settling down my luggage, I first chose to try the mushroom hot pot that I had not eaten for so many days. Looking for good-tasting flower cakes and looking for the market. Maybe they are too dry and not interested in barbecues in the market. They would rather eat fruits with a lot of moisture. Walking while eating, go back to the inn to take a break, and set out to look for 98. On the way to find 98, we accidentally bumped into the big waterwheel, and then walked to 98 Street in the clouds. You can choose whether it is quiet or noisy. However, we didn't reach this street until 22:50 pm when we left the house. Then we hesitated for a long time. As soon as we sat down at 23:30, the singing lady said that the last song was over. Before 9 was ordered, the waiter explained to us, saying that the entire ancient town had a singing time, 20:00-23:30. Singing is not allowed outside this time period. If you want to find 98 to sit down and listen to music, you must think about the time.

Day 9 Ancient City of Lijiang-Shanghai

I slept in the only time I had during my trip and ate the bridge rice noodles-Qiaoxiangyuan-whose target was set on the first day

Summary:

The trip was generally relatively tight, but I was a little regretful that I didn't find time to go to Shangri-La. See you next time
