During the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019, I was going to Paris, but no one accompanied me. So I picked up my bags and went to Yunnan on my own. As a result, as soon as I arrived in Yunnan, I was called back to Hangzhou by the company's urgent incident.
On the National Day of 2020, I was going to go to Paris, but when I encountered the epidemic, I made an appointment with my family, made a good strategy, and signed up for a light luxury tour group to set foot on the South of Colorful Clouds.
Xiaobian also wants to share such a good experience with everyone. Welcome everyone to explore the secrets of the ancient Dian Kingdom!

travel preparation

Our itinerary plan is to visit Kunming and Lijiang Shangri-La in Dali. Due to our booking of the first China Travel Service's light luxury tourism products, we were picked up by the staff and checked in to the hotel after we got off the plane from Kunming. The hotel environment is still relatively good!
Yunnan has a high altitude and strong direct sunlight, so be sure to bring sunscreen and apply it on all leaked areas when going out to prevent sunburn.

In addition, the climate here is very cool when there is no sun, and very hot when there is the sun, so it is best to bring a thick coat. The picture below is our baggage memo, which you can refer to.

Travel tips

Yunnan weather

Before traveling, I looked at the weather forecast that there would be rain for a week. When I arrived, I realized that the weather here was actually cloudy and cloudy. After the heavy rain fell on the front foot, the sky cleared up after the next foot. Therefore, there are still blue skies and white clouds and bright sunshine for most days this week.
Moreover, Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La are all relatively dry, so clothes dry easily after washing, so you don't need to bring too many clothes (I wore three of the seven T-shirts I brought).

First acquaintance with Yunnan

DAY1: First of all, Spring City:
Kunming is a national historical and cultural city. As early as 30,000 years ago, humans lived and multiplied around Dianchi Lake. In 278 BC, the Dian State was established and its capital was established here. In 765, the Nanzhao State built the East City, which was the beginning of Kunming's city. During the late Ming Dynasty, the Yongli regime of the Nanming Dynasty established its capital in Kunming. Kunming belongs to the northern tropical low-latitude plateau mountain monsoon climate. It is a mountainous landform. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and Dianchi Lake in the south. The scenery along the lake is beautiful. Due to its location on the low-latitude plateau, it has a climate of "spring all year round" and enjoys the reputation of "Spring City".

Kunming Dianchi Red-billed Gull

After arriving in Kunming on the first day, we had a free day because the team arrived at different arrival times. Because we arrived early, we went to Kunming Dianchi Lake to visit. Kunming is not a loss of spring city. Ji Jie, who we arrived, just caught up with the seagulls. It was a worthwhile trip!
DIY2: Let's talk about Stone Forest:
Today is the second day. When you first arrive, you may have a little high reaction. Don't wash your hair and take a bath on the first day, as it may easily aggravate the high reaction.

You usually get a lot better after sleeping.

Kunming City Stone Forest Scenic Area, also known as Yunnan Stone Forest, is located in Kunming Shilin Yi Autonomous County, 78 kilometers away from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan. The area covers 350 square kilometers.
The main areas that have been developed into tourist areas in Kunming City are: Stone Forest Scenic Area, Heisongyan (Ancient Stone Forest) Scenic Area, Feilong Waterfall (Dadieshui) Scenic Area, and Changhu Scenic Area.
Mingshi Shilin Scenic Area has been rated as a "World Geopark" and a "World Natural Heritage Scenery" by the United Nations Culture and Education Section. In 1982, it was approved by the State Council as one of the first batch of national-level key scenic spots. It is a national 5A-level tourist attraction and a national civilized scenic tourist area.
The stones have a natural and magical craftsmanship!

The love along the Erhai Lake makes people nostalgic for going back and forth, just like the lyrics to Dali
Are you not satisfied with life? I haven't laughed for a long time and I don't know why

Since you are unhappy and don't like it here, why not go west to Dali

The journey is a little bumpy and the air is thin, and the scenery is wider and wider.

The lonelier I feel, I don't know who is waiting where

I don't know who didn't have dust on their heads later

Who has no teeth marks on his shoulders, maybe love is waiting by the Erhai Lake

Maybe the story is happening, who has no dust on his head

Who has no teeth marks on his shoulders, maybe love is waiting by the Erhai Lake

Maybe the story is happening, who has no dust on his head

Who has no teeth marks on his shoulders, picking up the courage crushed by time

Let your feet be covered with fragrant mud
