If you ask me if there is any place I have always wanted to go, I will definitely say it is Yunnan. When I graduated from college, I originally planned to go to Yunnan to complete my graduation trip, but due to various reasons, I couldn't go. I took advantage of this holiday to make arrangements for a late trip to Kunming with two good friends. If I just don't want to go, I probably still regret it when I am old.

itinerary

Day1 Dianchi Lake-Haigeng Dam

Day2 Shilin-Jiuxiang-Jinma Biji Workshop

Day3 Fuxian Lake

Day4 Fuxian Lake

Return Day5

This trip time was relatively short. Five days would definitely not be enough to go to Kunming, Dali and Lijiang. It would be better to experience it slowly in one city. Finally, we discussed with our friends and decided to go to Kunming first. Dali and Lijiang will have a chance in the future. Make arrangements again

traffic

Another direct reason for going to Kunming is that the air ticket is relatively cheap. The journey takes five days. In fact, the time I can play is only about four days. In order not to delay time and facilitate travel, I chose to rent a car and drive myself to Kunming this time. The car I booked on the Yihi Car Rental website will be picked up by Yihi's staff after getting off the plane and drove it to a nearby store to go through the formalities. If I don't rent a car, I have to add a tour for the entire journey. I feel that it's better to rent a car. Moreover, if the three of us share equally, we won't spend much money every day. There are many models in Yihi. Our group is a relatively affordable Hyundai Etra, and the discounts for new users are relatively large. I have registered before, and this time I changed friends to go through the formalities, which is almost 100 yuan/day.

hotel

It's not easy to come to Yunnan, and I spent a lot on accommodation this time. The Yunnan Dianchi Hot Spring International Hotel and a B & B in Fuxian Lake were both good. The first one can soak in hot springs, and the second one has a sea view room. The price is a bit expensive, but the accommodation experience is really like. Both include breakfast and have milk, fruit, pasta, etc. to choose from. It tastes good.

reach

After more than two hours of flying, the plane arrived at its destination on time. After arriving at the airport, I first went to the formalities to pick up the car. The formalities were processed quickly. After a test drive, I went straight to the hotel.

It's worth the high price of such a hotel. I don't stay there often anyway. When you come out to play, you need to stay comfortably and have fun.

Looking out from the balcony, the view is very wide. When we first arrived in Kunming, we were greeted by blue skies and white clouds. Good weather was accompanied by a good mood

The lotus flower bloomed in the pond, and my friends and I agreed that the flower grew perfectly

The nameless flower is the kind of purple I like

dianchi

I stayed in the hotel for a long time before I started to go out. It was already past four o'clock when I went out. The hotel was only five or six minutes 'walk from Dianchi Lake.

The lake water is fierce and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. However, there are no red-billed gulls this season. If you want to be surrounded by seagulls, you have to come in winter.

The wind and waves by the pool were very strong, and the water in the lake was knocked ashore

Check-in on the trestle. You can only enter the trestle for a fee. The trestle costs twenty yuan per person. The trestle goes deep into the lake. It is quite long and you can take photos on it. The trestle will be closed until 5 pm, but it will take about 20 minutes to go back and forth. That's enough.

Small flowers can be seen everywhere. Kunming is worthy of being a flower city. If you don't go to the flower market, you can still see flowers competing to bloom on the street

Male classmates sitting by the lake watching the scenery and chatting in the sunset, father and daughter chasing laughing in the sunset, and uncle holding his mother's hand in the sunset. These unintentional and warm moments were just recorded by the camera, and instantly felt that Dianchi Lake had become less like a scenic spot. This is an ordinary market place

haitang dam

In the evening, I went to Haigeng Dam to watch the sunset. Haigeng Dam is next to Dianchi Lake. The dam is very wide and the view here is also very wide. It is a good place to watch the sunset. From 7:30 to 8:30, the batteries and dams at dusk become more charming

Unconsciously, it was past eight o'clock. I returned to the hotel and drove to go out for food. In the end, I chose a Qiguo chicken. Qiguo chicken is a specialty of Yunnan. The chicken meat is very tender and tender, and the chicken soup is also drinkable without being greasy at all.

Iced rice porridge is cold and cool in one bite. It is suitable for eating in summer to cool down and relieve the heat. This is the first time I have eaten this kind of thing, and it tastes good

stone Forest

Today, I am going to Shilin and Jiuxiang. These two places are quite famous in Kunming. The only shortcoming is that they are far away. Fortunately, I drove this time and started leaving early in the morning to go to Shilin Scenic Area first.

The Stone Forest Scenic Area is divided into the Big Stone Forest and the Small Stone Forest. The Stone Forest Scenic Area is a karst landform located in the subtropical plateau area, which is the only one in the world. The entire Stone Forest Scenic Area is quite large. You can take the scenic area's battery car after arriving at the scenic area.

Big Stone Forest, nature is really a magical thing

I didn't have time to visit the Geological Museum in the scenic area

There are really many tourists coming to Shilin Scenic Area, many of whom are tourist groups

Some photos look good when cut off. A close-up view of the stone forest creates a feeling that we have booked the venue.

Traveling through the stone forest, I really dare not come here alone. I can easily get lost

What is most lacking here are stones of various shapes, which are all masterpieces of special geology and natural wind.

When you go to the Big Stone Forest, you must climb the Wangfeng Pavilion. Although there are many people, the scenery you see is very spectacular

Next is the small stone forest. The stones here are relatively small

The most famous Ashima in Little Stone Forest

Small Shilin walks around quickly, and you can finally have lunch after shopping

jiuxiang

In the afternoon, I came to Jiuxiang. Jiuxiang not only has underground karst caves, but also waterfalls and mountains and rivers

This is the first time I have seen a rushing waterfall, an underground waterfall

Falling stone forest, the underground is more colorful than I imagined

Jiuxiang also traveled faster and rushed back to the city. It was too late and I was really afraid of being unsafe.

Jinma Biji Store

In the evening, visit Jinma Biji Square in the center of Kunming. This place is suitable for visiting at night.

fuxian Lake

Fuxian Lake is located in Yuxi City. It took about an hour to drive. When I first arrived at Fuxian Lake, I realized that it was really a beautiful accident

I have basically stayed at B & B and nearby for the past two days. The B & B I booked this time is really amazing. The room layout is very exquisite. No girl will not fall in love with it

The next day I moved to a sea view room on the fourth floor. The price was much more expensive than a regular room, but it was worth it.

I went to Cherry Blossom Valley in the afternoon. There are no more cherry blossoms at this time, so enjoy it by the lake

Luchong Scenic Area, the scenic area is on the west side of Fuxian Lake. You can boating and diving. I really envy those who can dive. I have never had the courage to learn to dive.

For those who come diving with equipment, the water here is really super clean and is not affected by tourists at all

The itinerary of Fuxian Lake is very loose. First, I really want to give myself two days off to relax and don't want to run around. Second, the B & B I stayed in these two days is too expensive, and I can't just let it function as an accommodation. Overall, Fuxian Lake is really worth visiting.

It's already the fifth day since the return journey. Although the holiday is short, Kunming has aroused our infinite enthusiasm. Kunming is a spring city. It is really a very suitable place to travel in all seasons. The next stop is to make plans for Dali and Lijiang.
