Jiuxiang, Shilin, Xishan, Haigeng Dams (3.12-13)

The first stop after entering the scenic area is to visit Yincui Gorge by boat. Although it was a short journey, it was quite enjoyable.

The stone pillars in the cave were eroded by water droplets, and the landscape set off by the color of the lights.

At the last stop in Jiuxiang, you can take the cableway and cable car back to the entrance of the scenic area. There is no turning back throughout the journey.

Driving from Jiuxiang to Shilin in the afternoon of the same day.

The stone forest is actually a unique natural landscape. However, there are too many tourists and the range is too large. After walking around the central area, take a battery car around the field to enjoy the stone forest.

A beautiful scenery in front of leaving the stone forest.

On the third day after arriving in Kunming, I climbed the Western Hills, viewed the Dianchi Lake, and crossed the Longmen Gate.

After taking the Xishan Cableway up the mountain, there is still a steep stone step to reach Longmen.

Tourists gathered on the small platform in front of Longmen to take photos.

Leaving Longmen, the road is not easy. Elderly people should be careful.

Looking at Dianchi Lake, Yunnan Minzu Village and Kunming City from the Western Mountain.

After coming down the mountain and coming to the Haigeng Dam, it was late in the evening, and a large number of seagulls were foraging while feeding tourists. It's spectacular.

When you are tired from flying, float on the water.

The Third Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple in Dali, Erhai Lake (3.14-15)

Kunming took the train to Dali, and after lunch came to the Third Pagoda to check in the Dali landmark.

The Cangshan Mountain behind it (it should be) is very beautiful with layers of views in the fog.

3.16 In the morning, enjoy tea and enjoy the Erhai Lake on the balcony of the apartment.

After checking out, we drove up Lijiang along the Erhai East. The sea view was beautiful all the way. After passing through Shuanglang, I tried Yunnan's specialty wild mushroom pot. It tasted good.

Yulong Snow Mountain (3.17)

Take the Glacier Park Cableway (Large Cableway) cable car to the viewing platform at an altitude of 4506 meters.

There is a pedestrian plank road on the platform to climb to a higher viewing platform.

Tourists gather on the 4506-meter viewing platform. People who have high protests can go to the infirmary on the platform for oxygen and assistance.

After staying for half a moment, we began to climb the top along the plank road.

The scenery on the road is beautiful and freezing, and the wind carries smoothies.

The check-in was successful at the highest point, and people lined up to take photos.

The scenery down the mountain is equally beautiful.

After lunch, drive to Blue Moon Valley in the north.

The river water is cold and clear, like melting water from snow and ice from a snowy mountain. After a short period of appreciation, we took a few photos and left Blue Moon Valley.

Return to the departure point to watch the "Impression Lijiang" performance.

There are a large number of actors, with the Yulong Snow Mountain as the background and the customs and culture of various ethnic groups in Yunnan as the themes. It mixes music, voices, and script confessions. It is a quite shocking performance.

Leaving the theater and ending the one-day trip to the snowy mountains was quite satisfying. Tip: The ticket fee is unreasonable, so those who want to go can guide them themselves.

Shangri-La (3.18-19)

I wanted to visit the Tiger Leaping Gorge on the way, but we navigated into the rotten road being built, and the door was closed. After wasting most of the day, I finally went straight to Shangri-La and missed the time to visit the Songzan Forest Scenic Area.

Wandering around the ancient city of Dukezong at will, there is also a good view on a platform above a temple.

On the second day in Shangri-La, walk Pudacuo National Park. It was sparsely populated, and after walking for nearly half an hour, there was no one.

There are many squirrels and they are not afraid of people. Seemed to know how to approach tourists for food.

The nature protection work in the park is first-class, with near-zero man-made pollution and free and close activities of wild animals.

It should be hungry squirrels that can even climb directly onto people. People who are afraid should not stop and open their backpack.

Return to Lijiang in the evening and stay in a cheaper B & B as a transit. The room was a little surprised to see the view of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Lugu Lake (3.20-21)

It takes about 2 and a half hours to drive to Lugu Lake by walking two sections of highway and winding around the mountains. Near the entrance is a viewing platform that provides a panoramic view.

After going down the mountain, you can go to Sanjiacun Wharf and take a small wooden boat rowed by manpower to swim around the lake. A boat of 8 people and each person is ¥ 70. They usually row to visit nearby small islands in the lake.

The boatman started rowing since he was a teenager. He is a member of a minority ethnic group (forget what ethnic group) and a matriarchal society. The children have their mother's surname, and their marriage customs and habits are different from those of the Han nationality.

In view of the wind and waves, we floated in a safe position for a while and then began to return to the dock.

The lake view is good, and there are seagulls floating along the wind and waves with our wooden boat, hoping that you will feed them.

3.20-21 After spending one night in Lugu Lake, he returned to Lijiang the same way and took the high-speed train home, ending a 10-night and 11-day journey.
