Itinerary recommendation: This route takes a relatively regular route, Kunming-Lijiang-Shangri-La-Lugu Lake-Dali-Kunming. It takes a total of 9 days. The itinerary is a bit rushed. If there is too much time, it is recommended to arrange a 10-day itinerary.

During this trip to Yunnan, we will continue to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of being afraid of tiredness and take 4 elders and 2 young children out. The beautiful scenery is overwhelming. If you have the ability, it is recommended to travel freely, drive yourself, and then book some special B & Bs. There are many people in the party, but my husband does not have the same company, so he cannot take care of transportation. This may be the best arrangement.

Warm reminder:

1. We took the Yulong Snow Mountain on the Yauping small cableway. Personally, we don't need to buy down jackets at all, and we don't need to buy oxygen tanks;

2. Shangri-La still needs to prepare some oxygen tanks. If you follow the group, some contain down jackets, but they are all relatively big. If you have children, it is recommended to bring your own clothes;

3. Lashihai National Wetland Park personally thinks it is quite beautiful. This point is a bit controversial, so it is recommended to go;

Day 1 Shenzhen-Kunming-Train to Lijiang

The four elderly people arrived in Kunming on the bullet train with their children. The travel agency sent someone to deliver train tickets. We had dinner at the Fuzhao Tower Restaurant at the railway station. The steampot chicken is great, and I also ordered porcini mushrooms. (80 per capita, which tastes good).

After dinner, I just took a walk to Kunming Station and took a bus to Lijiang. I left at 9 p.m. and arrived at around 5 p.m. the next day. I had a hard sleep and slept in the car for the night.

The next day, the Ancient Tea Horse Road-Lashihai-Lishui Jinsha-Lijiang Ancient City

After breakfast, we went to Yulong Snow Mountain (considering that the elderly and children took a small cableway). Before departure, the tour guide said that we would buy an oxygen cylinder (but we heard from the hotel tourists that we didn't need it at all), so we didn't buy it (the tour guide was very unhappy and said that he would not be responsible for the accident)

But facts have proved that there is no need to rent down jackets and buy oxygen cylinders to take a small cableway. Tour guides get kickbacks!! Remember! You can't see the snowy mountains in summer when you go up the cableway.

Mauringping Small Cableway

Going up the cableway, the altitude is about 3000 meters.

blue Moon Valley

At the end of the visit, Da Xiaobao fell asleep and had chicken hot pot for lunch.

Third stop: Lashihai National Wetland Park

Lashihai is known as the cradle of life with rich water and beautiful lake colors. It is the base of the American Nature Conservancy. We actually rode a horse and then took a boat, which was still beautiful. The weather was hot and I wanted to give up, but later I thought about it. Let's ride when I came. Grandma and Grandpa looked at the sleeping little dumpling. Grandma, Grandpa, Tang Yuan and I are riding a horse!

Watch the large-scale folk song and dance performance of "Lishui Jinsha" in the evening (worth watching, very good). The performance was created by the top ten cultural growth companies in the country and won the National Cultural Performance Gold Medal. In the form of dance, poetry and painting, it gathered the national cultural atmosphere nurtured by Lijiang's strange mountains and rivers and the ancient and beautiful cultural treasures, and comprehensively demonstrated Lijiang's unique and broad national culture and national spirit. This is a party to showcase the customs of ethnic minorities, and it is also a spiritual journey, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and feel the original sound.

After watching the performance, I ate the bridge rice money nearby. I was tired taking a taxi back to the hotel. Straight into bed.

Day 3 Lijiang-Tiger Leaping Gorge-Dukezong Moonlight Ancient City-Tusi Banquet

Depart around 6:30 in the morning and take a bus to Shangri-La. The tour guide on the bus persuaded him to buy oxygen (actually, you don't have to buy so much)

First stop: Tiger Leaping Gorge

The Tiger Leaping Gorge is very dangerous, forming a river full of reefs, crisscrossed teeth, densely covered dangerous shoals, and a cluster of waterfalls. It is one of the deepest canyons in China! I need to climb the mountain to see it, I am very tired! Grandma's feet hurt, so she stayed with Tuanzi to rest halfway through the climb. Others persisted to the end.

As a reward for climbing mountains, snacks are indispensable!

Continue on the road after lunch.

Second stop: Pudacuo National Park

The first national park in the mainland of China, a national 5A-level tourist attraction, and a plateau structural lake named after a ranch. It has beautiful scenery. Snow-capped mountains, wetlands, forests, and lakes form a natural picture, becoming the best location for CCTV's exterior shooting-Shudu Lake; it is called "Nirentang" in Tibetan.

However,,,, because we all had high opinions, we didn't walk and took a group photo at the door and left.

For dinner, special yak hot pot will be arranged, and Tibetans will be given a home visit [Tusi Banquet]. Come to Tibetan homes to participate in song and dance evenings, and taste yak hot pot, highland barley wine, butter tea, highland barley powder, and cheese. There will be performances to watch. Grandpa even went up to perform.

Because of the high rebellion, all of us slept poorly all night. Today, the camera didn't even have the strength to take pictures, so it was all solved by mobile phones

Day 4 Shangri-La Wheel Mandala-Dukezong Moonlight Ancient City-Lijiang

Get up before dawn again and eat breakfast.

First stop: Shambhala Shilun Mandala

It is said to be the largest three-dimensional mandala in the world (more spectacular, more connotation, and more worth seeing than Songzanlin Temple). It is the largest and most sophisticated three-dimensional mandala in the world. To understand the cultural connotation of "Shambhala", there is the tallest Kalachakra Buddha statue in the world, with a total height of 21 meters. There will be some Tibetan Buddhist supplies displayed and sold in it, such as Tianzhu, beeswax, etc.).

Second stop: Dukezong Moonlight Ancient City

Dukezong Moonlight Ancient City has the largest prayer wheel in the world.

After the tour, return to Lijiang by car and check into the hotel. I was so tired that I looked for food nearby. Fish with you: tomato fish, sour soup fish, and had a good time with the store manager's daughter.

After dinner, I took a taxi to the Ancient City of Lijiang to see the night view. I was too tired, so I didn't spend a long time shopping and went back. I would have time to come back in two days.

Day 5: Lijiang-Lugu Lake-Zhuchao Boat Tour Lake-Wedding Banquet

Depart at 6:30 a.m. after breakfast. Go to Lugu Lake and enjoy the strange, beautiful and dangerous scenery of the Jinsha River Valley, the Shudi Bridge, and the scenery of Xiaoliang Mountain along the way.

I had lunch at Chiyou Farm in Shangtu. It was terrible.

It takes about 4 hours to arrive at Lugu Lake (now you need a ticket of 100 yuan per person, but you didn't need it back in 2008). Lunch was terrible. After lunch, the tour guide got on the bus and came to explain. He was a very talkative young man.

I first went to a lake and had a look. There were many sea vegetables and flowers on it, which were very beautiful.

Take a panoramic view of Lugu Lake from the observation deck.

Later, I took a pig trough boat to tour the lake and felt the "Three Wonders of Mosuo"(the boat on the lake, the people on the boat, and the song of the people)

The dinner was delicious. (Pork fat meat, boiled lake fish, various mosuo dishes)

Join the bonfire party in the evening.

Check into the hotel (the weather is so cold, wash and go to bed early)

Day 6: Lugu Lake Caohai-Mosuo Home Visit-Visiting the Ancient City of Lijiang

In the morning, we got up to eat breakfast again, and visited Caohai after dinner. It was so beautiful!

Later, I visited the ancient primitive Mosuo village, followed the little sister of Mosuo to learn about the mysterious Mosuo walking marriage custom (men do not marry women do not marry), and learned about the production and life of the Mosuo people, and then... I bought a lot of silver jewelry. On this trip, I met my sister Xuanxuan from Guangzhou and met her many times by fate.

Around 11:00, I took a bus to Ninglang for Chinese food. There was a traffic jam on the way. There was an accident yesterday. The crane came on a trolley. The road was really dangerous. When 2009 came, stones fell all the way.

It was still early to return to Lijiang today. After a rest, I visited the ancient city of Lijiang.

I ate the special hot pot of preserved ribs for dinner and drank some wine. I was so happy!

Day 7: Lijiang-Dali Butterfly Spring-Erhai Grand Cruise Ship-Nanzhao Style Island

After breakfast, take a bus to Dali, where the scenery is beautiful and snowy.

First stop: Butterfly Spring Park

The Bai people are in love, feeling the brilliant story of the five golden flowers;

Eight bowls of Dali soil will be given for Chinese food

Second stop: Erhai Lake, Nanzhao Style Island

Take a large luxury cruise ship to visit the "Pearl of the Plateau" and enjoy the scenery of Cangshan and Erhai, which is known as the "Silver Cang and Jade Erhai". In the west of the Erhai Lake, there are 19 peaks of Cangshan and 19 peaks lined up like screens, and in the east are surrounded by Yuan Mountain. The space and environment are extremely beautiful."The water shines through the sky and the mountains are surrounded by green screens all the time." Enjoy the Bai ethnic tea song and dance performance on board, and taste the Bai ethnic tea with one bitter, two sweet and three aftertaste. Climb Nanzhao Style Island; enjoy the double corridors and the scenery of Erhai Lake along the way. Free bicycle rides are available.

Third stop: Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple

The three towers are worth visiting. They are the symbol of Dali Buddhist Kingdom (it is recommended to take a battery car).

breakfast followed by morning tour of London

First stop: Dali Ancient City

Second stop: Cangshan

I waited in line for a long time to take the cable car.

Day 9 Kunming Dianchi Lake-Shenzhen

I got up a little late this morning. After getting up, I went to Dianchi Lake with Xuanxuan's family. Tuan Tuan is learning to walk at this moment, and the two young sisters are so happy taking her along.

After lunch, Tangyuan and four elderly people were sent to the high-speed train. Xiaotuanzi and I took a plane.

Yuanyuan is very good on the train.
Finally ended the journey and came back safely. It's not easy to go out with a family. Because her husband did not have annual leave and had been to Yunnan, he chose to join a pure play group. However, participating in the group still can't eat well and sleep well. It is recommended to walk freely.

This trip was fated to meet Xuanxuan's sister and family, and I hope to keep in touch and go out to play together in the future. At the moment when writing travel notes, Xuan Dad is supporting the Wuhan epidemic and fighting on the front line. I sincerely wish him a safe and healthy return as soon as possible!
