1. Tourism transportation

1. Intercity transportation

You can choose train or plane to get there. The train departs from Shenzhen North Railway Station at 8:01 and 15:26, more than 7 hours; the train departs from Shenzhen East Railway Station at 14:34, 30 hours, passing through Guangdong, Guiyang, and Yunnan. The scenery along the way should be relatively beautiful, and the train journey is long. In order to reduce travel fatigue, we finally decisively chose the plane.

Departure: June 22, Shenzhen-Kunming, 13:35 to 16:15, China Southern Airlines

Return: June 29, Kunming-Shenzhen, 17:20 to 19:25, China Southern Airlines

2 big and 1 small, and the round-trip ticket landing price is 2700 yuan.

2. Pick up and drop off service

After confirming the hotel, I saw that the hotel provided pick-up service. After telephone consultation, I said that it would be at my own expense (300 yuan), so I decisively gave up; I booked the pick-up service for 73 yuan.

On the return journey, I took a taxi directly to the airport. I took the highway and cost 150 yuan. I regretted not booking the delivery service in advance.

2. Accommodation

1. Choose a hotel

First select hotels with a score of 4.5 or above in Kunming. Hotels with higher reviews include Changshui Airport, Inner Urban Area of the Second Ring Road, Dianchi Lake Scenic Area, etc. After consulting the locals, the taxi fare for urban tours is basically less than 50 yuan. Considering that I am bringing the elderly and children, I chose to live in the Dianchi Scenic Area.

After the list of hotels near Dianchi Lake Scenic Area was released, based on the hotel price per night, whether it included double breakfast, the number of user reviews, and the content of user reviews, the focus was on InterContinental Hotel, Lakeview Hotel, Hengzhiyuan Hotel and the high-rated Villa Area B & Bs:

Intercontinental Hotels: Intercontinental Hotels are undoubtedly the preferred hotel in terms of location, hotel services, facilities, ratings, etc. After consulting locals in Kunming, I can go to a small restaurant outside for breakfast (noodles, snacks) every day without repeating the same thing. However, considering the elderly and children, I chose to have breakfast at the hotel. The price of Intercontinental Double Breakfast is a bit high, so I reluctantly pass

Hengzhiyuan Hotel: Chinese-style courtyard has a relatively high rating and is very comfortable. Compared with the Lakeview Hotel, it lacks hot springs. The hot springs are simply not too attractive, especially after a day of running at attractions during the day, you can take a soak to relieve fatigue and help sleep.

B & B in Villa Area: The experience of staying in a B & B for a family will be very good when traveling. The disadvantage is the lack of professional management and complete supporting services of the hotel. When traveling, you still want to be lazy and enjoy it.

Lakeview Hotel: The evaluation said that this hotel is relatively old. It has golf and hot springs. It is next to the Minzu Village. The location is relatively good. If you don't want to go out and play, you can visit the park and Dianchi Lake near the hotel; although the overall score is not as high as the above. I thought that if I was tired from playing during the day, I could go to a hot spring at night, and add breakfast, so I finally chose his house.

2. Accommodation experience

Starting from the first day of stay, fruits, flower cakes and sugar are served every day, knives, forks, fruit plates are provided, and considerate service is provided.

It is probably because the hotel is old and the facilities in the room are a little old. The hot water kettle cannot trip automatically. There are dirty marks on the counter of the washing basin. The water temperature of the shower is extremely unstable and changes at any time. It is a little hot in the first second and a little cold in the next. I even found that one day after returning to the hotel, I found a wooden board had fallen off the door frame. There was no charging cord in the room and no socket at the bedside. Children's toiletries and children's bathrobes had to be requested.

The bathrobe I used one day was not replaced, but it was still wet the day before. On the first day I checked in, I took a square square towel and placed it on the counter. The cleaning staff never touched that piece again. After opening the soap, they would not give me an extra piece.

There is a restaurant on the first floor, which provides buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner orders, and barbecue. It is divided into indoor and outdoor. The outdoor terrace is connected to the golf course, and there is also a small fish pond with pleasant scenery. The breakfast variety is rich: Western-style breads, pastries, Japanese sushi, sashimi, Chinese porridge, stir-fry, soup noodles, dumplings, etc. There are fruits, salads, and drinks. The taste is average. The fried dough sticks and buns are too hard, and the mouth hurts; the prices of the ordered dishes are too high, and there are also service fees. Hotel guests do not discount; the hotel has the advantage of the scenery, not satisfying their appetite.

There is an open-air hot spring pool on the third floor of the hotel. There are three larger warm pools and a small cold pool. It is open from 16:00 p.m.. You need to wear a swimsuit to soak in. It is quite comfortable to soak in it every day to relieve the fatigue of the day. I don't know if it is because there are few guests and there are no towels or bath towels to be taken directly next to it, so the service staff has to deliver it. The hot spring ticket has to be collected at the front desk every day. I really don't want to get it every day, so I just ask for more.

The location of the hotel is particularly good. Across the road is the Dianchi Walking Trail. You can walk to Haigeng Park, Dianchi Cableway West Mountain and Haigeng Dam. If you go to Minzu Village, you can take the hotel sightseeing bus for free and pick up and drop off across the golf course.

3. Itinerary arrangements

Day1 Stay in Dianchi Lake-Haigeng Park-Haigeng Dam on June 22

From a coastal place like Shenzhen, which has high temperatures, hot and heavy humidity, to a place like spring all year round, the first feeling is that it deserves to be called a "Spring City" with suitable temperature and humidity. After dinner, immediately take a stroll to Dianchi Lake. Dianchi Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and the sixth largest in the country. It has beautiful scenery, vast blue waves, sky water features, and mountains. It deserves its reputation as the "Pearl of the Plateau".

Day2 Departs from Kunming on June 23, an independent chartered day trip to Shilin-Jiuxiang Scenic Area

(1) Transportation;

Public transportation: Take a bus from Kunming New East Passenger Station to Yiliang County, which takes about 40 minutes, and then take a bus to Jiuxiang, which takes about half an hour;

Kunming Eastern Passenger Station takes a direct bus to Shilin Scenic Area, which takes 2 hours; if it is public transportation, it takes two days to visit.

Self-driving tour: People who own a car or those with good driving skills can consider renting a car, which is very convenient

Car rental service: I found a one-day trip to Jiuxiang and Shilin on the Internet. Basically, single attractions return to Kunming at 3:00 p.m., and you can visit two attractions in one day until 5 and 6 p.m., including scenic spots tickets, Jiuxiang cableway and Shilin shuttle bus, which are more cost-effective. After consulting customer service, and after another round of bargaining, the final day was 700 yuan for two large and small chartered cars in nine townships and Shilin.

(2) Play in Stone Forest

Located in Kunming's Shilin Yi Autonomous County, 78 kilometers away from Kunming, it has been rated as a "World Geopark" and a "World Natural Heritage Scenery" by the United Nations Culture and Education Section. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot.

1、 "Looking at the big stone from a distance, looking at the big stone from a close distance, the stone is really big, it is really a big stone" This sentence perfectly interprets the natural landscape in the scenic area. To be honest, if you are not full of enthusiasm and spirit of exploration for the karst landform, it is recommended to visit shorter routes.

2. Looking at rocks "Three points depend on looking, seven points depend on imagination." Freelancers suggest taking a tour group, otherwise they really don't know where to look, which can also promote everyone's rich imagination.

3. There were many fork roads in the Shilin Scenic Area, and we got lost accidentally. We just followed the signs and took a long detour without knowing if we could make it through, so we returned the same way; we heard a tour guide from a group talking to the lost tourists on the way."Where are you?" "We don't know where we are, just in a cave."

4. I played a shorter route. At the entrance of the scenic area, I passed through Shilin Lake to watch Guanyin Stone-"Stone Forest Screen, Eagle Spreads Its Wings-" Stone Forest Scenic Scenery, take photos-"Flame Sword Forest-" Jianfeng Pool; return to the original road to the Stone Forest Screen-"Natural Dance Hall-" Lotus Pond-"Small Shilin District View Ashima.

(3) Tour in Jiuxiang

Jiuxiang Scenic Area is a place to see underground karst caves. It developed during the Sinian period 600 million years ago. It has hundreds of karst caves of different sizes and a long and narrow underground grand canyon, allowing everyone to see the wonders of the underground world and sigh at the miraculous craftsmanship of nature and the spirit of mankind. The spirit of exploration and craftsmanship.

1. The typical tour route of Jiuxiang is walking until dark. Don't think about it. Just follow the tour route and move forward.

2. After entering, you began to walk down the steps. The steps were built along the mountain and very steep. Some felt like they were inclined at 60 degrees. The ground was slippery and slowed down. I met a person who rolled down the steps. Fortunately, I only rolled a few steps.

3. Affected by the epidemic, Yin Cuixia's tour project has not yet been opened. The water volume is small this season, and it seems that there is no way to boating. The Horrifying Gorge is really scary. Walking down the 700-meter canyon makes my legs weak. Listening to the sound of groundwater, there were only three or two people on the way, and the two sides of the canyon were like knives and axes. It was a thrilling walk.

4. After passing through a colorful underground cave with lights and shadows, we come to the spacious Lion Hall. From the Lion Hall, we can hear the theme song of "Myth" all the way, and the underground world of the movie was filmed here; after leaving the Lion Hall, we continue to follow the steep steps. Walking down, the scenic area is building slides. It is estimated that in the future, everyone can visit Jiuxiang like a roller coaster.

5. After going all the way down and re-entering the karst cave, you will have uninterrupted attractions, such as Goddess Palace, Male and Female Double Waterfalls (only a single waterfall can be seen in small water volume), Kanda, Linyin Village, and Bat Cave. The underground landscape is really amazing. Once again, we sigh at the magic of nature and the wisdom of our ancestors that allowed us to have a glimpse of this underground wonder.

6. Tickets include free photos at Male and Female Waterfall and Kanda. Be sure to take photos in the cave and pay attention to the location of the photo collection. We didn't pay attention until we exited the gate before asking. Unfortunately, there were no photos; after the tour, you can choose to ride a horse or take a cableway (semi-open) back to the entrance of the attraction.

(4) Eat rice noodles at Jianxinyuan for dinner

Day3 June 24, Kunming City Museum-"Yunnan Province Museum-" Guandu Ancient Town

(1) Kunming City Museum is located in the east section of Tuodong Road. It is located on the former site of Dizang Temple, hence the name "Dizang Temple Sutra Building", commonly known as "Ancient Building." There are bronze cultural masterpieces exhibitions, Tibetan Temple Sutra Buildings Exhibition and Dinosaur Fossils Exhibition, Kunming Flying Tigers Memorial Hall, fan fan masterpieces exhibition, porcelain masterpieces exhibition, etc., as well as temporary halls.

(2) The Provincial Museum is a landmark building in Kunming. It is located on Guangfu Road, adjacent to Baoxiang River in the west, and close to Yunnan Grand Theater, Yunnan Literature and Art Museum, and Guandu Ancient Town. The scenery around it is open and spacious.

(3) The buildings in Guandu Ancient Town are still very regional characteristics in southern Yunnan. Visiting the ancient town is more like visiting a commercial street covered with ancient buildings.

Day4, June 25, Yunnan Ethnic Village-> South Asia Food Street (a fungus)

(1) Yunnan Ethnic Village

Tickets: 80 yuan per person for the hotel, 90 yuan per person for the scenic spot, and a theater performance package containing "Call of the Plateau"

Overview of scenic spots

Yunnan Ethnic Village is located on the bank of Dianchi Lake. There are 25 ethnic minority villages in the scenic area: Jingpo, Achang, De 'ang, Hani, Tibetan, Dai, Shui, Buyi, Bulang, Wa, Miao, Lahu, Jino, Mongolian, Bai, Zhuang, Naxi, Yi, Manchu, Hui, Yao, Pumi, Dulong, Nu and Lisu (scenic area tour order). The villages in the ethnic village are in accordance with 1: Built at a ratio of 1, ethnic minority compatriots in the village will not only provide ethnic handicrafts and special foods with the characteristics of living alone, but also provide folk performances regularly according to the arrangement of the scenic area. The park perfectly integrates natural scenery and ethnic villages. Visit the villages amidst lakes, mountains, green trees and jungles, rest in the villages when you are tired, and experience the baptism of traditional culture.

Overview of ethnic minorities

Yunnan Province is the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities in our country, including 15 ethnic minorities: Bai, Hani, Dai, Lisu, Lahu, Wa, Naxi, Jingpo, Bulang, Achang, Pumi, Nu, Jinuo, De 'ang, and Dulong. More than 80% of the population is distributed in Yunnan Province and is called the unique ethnic minorities of Yunnan Province.

(2) A fungus

In June, Yunnan Province began to eat a large amount of fresh wild fungi. When traveling to Kunming, you must not miss eating fungi. However, eating fungi is risky and needs to be cautious. Since it was a trip just to taste it, I bought a set meal for two. I don't know if it was the Dragon Boat Festival, I gave you 4 rice dumplings, 2 salted duck eggs, 3 plates of fruits, 4 night sugar water and other small dishes. The tender chicken was used as the soup base. The yellow boletus, green head fungus, yellow umbrella, red breast boletus, the rich aroma of bacteria impacts the nasal cavity, opens the taste buds, and fills the stomach.

Day5, June 26, Xishan-> Army Lecture Hall-"Cuihu Park-> Shiping Guild Hall

(1) Xishan Tour: Dianchi Xishan Cableway-"Longmen Cableway-" Longmen Scenery-"Battery Car-" Environmentally Friendly Bus-"Chama Flower Street

Half of the Xishan Cableway in Dianchi Lake spans over Dianchi Lake and half crosses to the Xishan Mountain. It has a total length of 2000 meters and takes more than 20 minutes. Each car carries up to 6 people. Step on Dianchi Lake and look up to the Xishan Mountain. Take pictures of Dianchi Lake and Xishan Mountain on the high-altitude viewing corridor. Beautiful scenery.

The gantry cableway is an open cable car. The ground is close and you can reach out to touch the surrounding trees. You can enjoy the vast beauty of Dianchi Lake along the way. If you are lucky, you can see butterflies dancing in the mountains and forests.

Go down the Shibi Plank Road in the West Mountain and visit the embossed and stone carvings along the way. The observation deck overlooks the five-hundred-mile Dianchi Lake. It is said that the stone carvings along the Longmen route were carved by Qing Dynasty craftsmen using the most primitive tools one hammer and one drill. It took 72 years to consume countless people's efforts. It is a miracle.

Located at the foot of the West Mountain, it not only provides Yunnan specialties: flower cakes, rice noodles, roasted pork knuckles, Shiping roasted tofu, braised noodles, etc., but also national cuisine.

(2) Army Lecture Hall

The famous military education institution in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China was called the "cradle of the Whampoa Military Academy". From here, two marshals (Zhu De and Ye Jianying), dozens of senior generals above lieutenant general, and hundreds of generals emerged. It can be said that all the generals gathered together and shone brightly. The former site is a beige Zouma corner building style. The east, south, west and north buildings are surrounded into a square, with a training playground in the middle. The "Centenary Military Academy","Cradle of Generals", and "Expeditionary Force Exhibition Hall" allow the world to relive the tragic history of losing their lives and shedding blood.

(3) Cuihu Park

Cuihu Park, known as the "Jade in the City" and "Little West Lake", is located opposite the Army Lecture Hall. It is named "Cuihu" because of "green water on all sides, green bamboo in all seasons, and green willows in spring and summer." Since the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan administrative officials in successive dynasties have built pavilions and pavilions here. There are fish viewing houses and lake pavilions on the island in the center of the lake; Jinyu Island, Zhulin Island, Huludao, and Haixin Pavilion in the southeast and northwest respectively. June is the best season to admire lotus flowers. Good sentences such as "Out of the mud without dyeing, wash the ripples without evil" and "Only the small lotus shows its sharp horns, and there have long been dragonflies standing on it" describe lotus flowers. Lotus flowers in the green lake are in full bloom, pink, white, and a pool of lotus flowers attract people.

(4) Shiping Guild Hall

It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is a three-step courtyard with a two-story wooden building. During the Republic of China, it was directly organized and rebuilt by Mr. Yuan Jiagu, the only champion in Yunnan, and Mr. Zhang Zhijiang, a well-known person. The courtyard is ancient and shaded by trees. I ordered steam pot chicken, Shiping tofu, and cold rice noodles. The steam pot chicken is worthy of its name, with tender meat and fresh soup; Shiping tofu is old tofu with holes, which tastes good when using the sauce; cold rice noodles are slightly spicy and sweet, and the dishes are large and the price is high.

Day6, June 27, Jindian Park-> Jinma Biji Workshop

(1) Jindian Park

It is located in Mingfeng Mountain in the northeast of Kunming, close to the World Expo Park and Wildlife Park. It is said that it was built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty and was later repaired by Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi of the Qing Dynasty. It is said to be Wu Sangui's treasure site. Because the main hall is made of copper, it is dazzling and dazzling, like a golden house named. It houses the Great Zhenwu Emperor and is a Taoist missionary site. The attractions here include Taihe Palace, Bell Tower, Wu Sangui's Big Knife and Seven Star Sword Collection Room, etc. The lush forests in the scenic area block the sky, and the cultural landscape and natural landscape complement each other.

(2) Jinma Biji Workshop

Take Bus No. 10 from Jindianmen Bus Station to the terminal station Shiping Street, then walk to Jinma Biji Square. The two squares of Jinma and Biji were once symbols of the cultural landscape and the city in Kunming. In the east are Jinma Square and in the west is Biji Square. The two squares are about tens of meters apart. They are both gate-style wooden archways with cornices and angled corners. It was built in Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, and the existing building was rebuilt in the original style on the original site in 1998.

Day7, June 28, World Dinosaur Valley-Dounan Flower Market

(1) World Dinosaur Valley

"There are Terracotta Warriors in the north and Dinosaur Valley in the south." The Lufeng World Dinosaur Valley in Chuxiong is one of the richest, most complete and oldest dinosaur sites unearthed so far. The park includes two attractions: World Dinosaur Ruins Park and Time and Space Park. You can also purchase a set ticket for tickets separately. It is a national 4A-level attraction that integrates popular science research, tourism and entertainment, and site protection.

"Xu's Lufeng Dinosaur" is the treasure of the town hall. It was excavated by Mr. Yang Zhongjian in 1938. Because during the Anti-Japanese War, he requested financial support from his mentor, German scientist Xu Nai, so he got the name. It was discovered, excavated and erected by the Chinese themselves. The first dinosaur is called "China's first dragon."

The "Anachuan Street Dragon" fossil, with a length of 27 meters and a height of 6.5 meters, is the second largest dinosaur in China. The largest dinosaur in China is in Henan Province. It has an estimated weight of 30 tons and eats 1 ton of food every day. In order to help digestion, it will swallow some small stones.

It must be mentioned that there are also a small number of rides in the Dinosaur Ruins Park, which are charged separately. There is also a high-altitude glass plank road and high-altitude rapids, which can shorten the distance to the Time Park, which is a bit expensive.

There is nothing to play in Time Park. Children like it very much, but compared with any amusement park in the country, it has no special features. Most of the amusement facilities are aimed at children. There are also two theaters, which are okay, but have no special features.

(2) Dounan Flower Market

It is claimed to be the largest fresh cut flower market in Asia. There are many varieties of flowers, fresh and cheap. There are flowers on the first floor and meat on the second floor. There are also stalls everywhere on both sides of the street outside the venue. Roses packed in cartons usually cost 20 for 10 yuan. If they are packed in plastic paper, they cost 3 for 10 yuan, and multi-head roses cost 5 yuan each. A small number of flowers can be taken with you on the plane. If you don't have much luggage, it is recommended to bring them home. The express delivery fee is really very expensive, usually twice the price of flowers. The packaging boxes and ice cubes are charged separately. In the market,"jin" means "kilogram". To buy flowers here at the price of vegetables, I am extremely envious and jealous of Kunming locals for being able to buy such cheap flowers every day to decorate my life.

Day8 June 29 Dianchi Lake-Haigeng Park-Shiping Street Buy specialties and return home

On the last day, I still want to take a walk on the edge of Dianchi Lake again, relive the legends and stories of Dianchi Lake, and leave the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake deep in my memory.

The charge for Haigeng Park: 10 yuan for 3 packs of pigeon food. You can take photos while feeding the pigeons. White pigeons will fly to the heads, arms and shoulders of tourists;10 yuan/person can go to the Dianchi Lake to take set photos. The moon, glass sitting, glass water photos, etc. were all taken here. It feels like taking wedding photos "posing + setting". Looking at the photos feels great, and the shooting process is not described.

Flower cakes: Jiahua Flower Cakes Shiping Street is the flagship store. There are many varieties of snacks in the store, which can be purchased according to taste. Classic flower cakes are 4 yuan/piece. Because they are baked freshly on the same day, they cannot be put in the refrigerator. They are eaten within 7 days. The feedback from colleagues is very delicious.

Cloud legs, wild fungi: I bought them specially at Carrefour supermarket. Although there are not many varieties of wild fungi, the advantage lies in the peace of mind of buying them.

PS: Before I went, the weather forecast was to rain every day, but the actual situation was sunny every day.
