I decided to go to Yunnan during the summer vacation this year. I only started booking train tickets and accommodation from July 8 to 15 on June 30. I made a discovery: you can still buy extra train tickets for early July, but it is difficult to buy popular routes after the 15th. The prices of B & Bs in the same popular places will increase significantly after the 15th. Later, I heard a tour guide in the scenic area that there would be more and more tourists after the 15th. It seems that it is best to travel in early July for summer travel.

At 8:41 on July 8, I got on the G1698 bound for Kunming South at Fuzhou Railway Station. It was delayed by more than an hour due to the rain along the way and the slow-moving high-speed rail. On the way, I found several people looking for the conductor to change their ticket because they couldn't catch up with the transfer train. Fortunately, the K9693 I transferred to was at 22:19 that day. I ordered a 15-yuan lunch box at the dining car of the high-speed rail. There was only one kind, all-vegan pastoral pumpkin rice served with rice. The rice was not hard. There were a number of pumpkin pieces, green beans, tofu, shredded pickled mustard, and cabbage. The taste was okay. I wanted to eat meat, but I didn't expect that by dinnertime, all the box lunches would have been sold out. I feel that there is not much food preparation for this high-speed train. Whenever it is delayed, the problem becomes prominent. Some carriages even cannot use the toilet because they lack water.

There is no departure in Kunming South. Follow the signs and go straight to the waiting room from another road. Get on the K9693 to Lijiang on time, buy a sleeper, sleep, and arrive at the destination at around 9:30 the next morning. As soon as you leave Lijiang Railway Station, you will see the bus station in front of the station. There is a tourist bus from the railway station to Nanmen Street. Each ticket is 2 yuan and you can pay with Alipay and Weixin Pay. After more than 40 minutes, you will get off Nanmen Street and contact Lijiang Ancient City Fanshi Holiday Inn Nanmen Branch. The inn is in an excellent location, just next to Nanmen Street Station on the side of the ancient city, making it extremely convenient for traveling and eating. When you exit the inn and turn right, you can enter the ancient city from the 81st section of Qiyi Street. There is a Shengji rice noodle shop at the street corner. The small chicken rice noodle shop costs 10 yuan and is full of portions. It is enough for girls. It is a base soup made of chicken soup and medicinal materials. There are many chicken pieces, but it is even black-bone chicken. In short, later, chicken rice noodles were ordered in other places in Yunnan, and they were no longer so delicious. After walking for a while, you will go down the steps somewhere and stroll along the river. There are inns and shops all the way. There are flowers in front of your house, vines dancing, and small bridges and flowing water. The scenery is indeed pleasant. Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful. During the two days in Lijiang, there was a continuous light rain. I bought two freshly baked rose flower cakes, one yuan each, which was thinner than a few yuan each, and I felt good. So on the last night of Kunming, I went to Carrefour to buy two bags of packed flower cakes and took them home. It happened to be a promotion. A bag of 8 cakes was only 8.9 yuan, but it was not from the time-honored brand Pan Xiangji. When it rains in Lijiang in early July, the temperature is relatively low. Walking on the street, some people wear long-sleeved jackets and down jackets. Along the way, I visited Dashuichui, Wenchang Palace, Fang Guoyu's former residence and the Wupi Zhen Memorial Hall. They were all free. The content was not very impressive, so I just thought I was admiring residential buildings. For dinner, I had preserved pork ribs rice noodles. I didn't like the flavor of preserved pork ribs. It was never as delicious as fresh ones. Moreover, I had diarrhea that night, and my stomach felt better after eating it several times before I stopped. The double bed room was booked for two nights for a total of 206 yuan. It had a large viewing window facing the courtyard, but it was sealed and could not be opened. Therefore, for ventilation, the exhaust fan in the bathroom was left on all night.

On the third day, go to Shuhe Ancient Town, take the No. 3 bus to Zhongyi Market Station, transfer to No. 11 bus to Shuhe Crossing Station, go straight along Xianggeli Avenue to the intersection, turn left into Shuhe Road, go straight for a long way and you will arrive at the Ancient Town Scenic Area. Admission is 30 yuan. It costs only 24 yuan to buy it on the "Tour Yunnan" app. With the ticket, you can visit the Tea Horse Ancient Road Museum. You can get a free drink at the Craftsman Street Food City (actually just a restaurant). Later, I went to get a cup of coconut juice. You can also return to the entrance of the scenic spot from the battery car on Sifang Street with a ticket. Shuhe Ancient Town disappointed me. It was just a shopping center, and I couldn't feel the breath of life. I thought I would see a number of Naxi dressed elderly women sitting at the door chatting and doing handicrafts... However, there were only shops after shops that came into view. It was no different from what I saw in Lijiang. However, Lijiang at least did not charge fees. The streets and alleys were wide, and the small bridges and flowing water were still lovely. The Shuhe River and the water were just like small ditches. The streets and alleys were narrow and had no ancient charm. I also saw the sign of "Shuhe Ancient Town Sales Department" near the entrance of the scenic spot. I will not go to such an "ancient town scenic spot" again. In the future, I will not go to any so-called ancient town that sells tickets in this way. I also recommend that everyone go. The ancient town with the smell of "copper" is just a shopping city. I bought a small section of rice enema for 5 yuan and the taste was average.

I returned to Zhongyi Market along the way and visited the market. It was very big, with a lot of fruits and not expensive. Enter the Ancient City of Lijiang from here and visit Mufu. There is a free explanation for the 40-yuan ticket. Personally, I think it is worth a visit. There is a Lilong Life Supermarket next to Nanmen Street Station opposite the ancient city. It has a wide variety of bread and cakes with a 30% discount after 7 pm. It is very affordable.

On the fourth day, I arrived at Nanmen Street Station before 7:30 a.m. and planned to take the scenic line of the railway station (express lines 16 and 18) that I had taken when I came, but after waiting for a long time, no bus came, and other buses came and went. I immediately changed my mind to take No. 3 to Zhongyi Market Station, and then took No. 18 (No. 4 is also available) opposite to Lijiang Railway Station. I once again felt that this station is a particularly important station, and you can go to various important places from here. The trains were very dense, so I immediately got on the bus. The road was not blocked, and it took about half an hour to reach my destination.

The K9624 road was temporarily stopped three or four times at 9:40 and arrived in Dali on time. After leaving the train station, take the No. 8 bus at the bus stop on the right. About an hour later, we arrive at Fenghuaxue Hotel Station. As soon as we get off the bus, many people come to solicit guests from the hotel. Even though I repeatedly said that I had booked the inn, an older sister still followed me. Very far away. Across the street is the Yuer Gate. The sidewalk of the ancient city is paved with uneven stone slabs, which are said to have been renovated later. It is quite inconvenient to drag boxes, and I feel sorry for the wheels. Go straight through Hongwu Road and Yudong Road, and turn right on the next nameless alley is the Huaer Inn I booked for walking. The actual payment for the double bed room is 194 yuan for two days. After completing the check-in procedures, I walked around Renmin Street, Fuxing Road, and Yu 'er Road non-stop. Along the way, I visited the Dali Museum (the Mansion of the President's Military Soldiers and Soldiers), Wuhua Tower, South Gate, Confucian Temple, and Yu' er Garden. Unfortunately, when I passed by the Jiang Gong Temple, it was already late and it was closed. I bought a 5 yuan roasted milk fan. The taste is similar to yogurt slices and it is very tenacious. There is a Dafeng Supermarket on Yu 'er Road, which is a good place to shop. In the evening, I booked a one-day trip to Erhai Lake + Xizhou + Shuanglang in Dali, Yunnan Province on Ctrip for 128 yuan. It is a light luxury tourist group with a commercial vehicle for 2 to 6 people.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on the fifth day, a group of best friends, a family of three grandparents, a total of six people, led by a driver and tour guide, started a one-day trip around the Erhai Lake. The first stop is Xizhou Ancient Town. The car stopped at the entrance of the town and we went in and walked around for about an hour. I didn't want tickets. I spent 25 yuan to visit the Yan family compound, and the explanation cost another 60 yuan. I thought it was expensive and didn't buy it, but I bought a few ears of someone else's. I felt that if there were explanations, the visit would be more valuable. It is not unusual for the Yan family to have four courtyards and a small Western-style building in the backyard. What is strange is that the three courtyards and the second floor are completely connected. This is the only thing I have seen so far. The ancient town is very big, but it is actually very easy to stroll around. Due to time constraints, I gathered back after leaving Yan's courtyard.

The second stop is Haitang Park. We reach a certain intersection with seven twists and turns. The director arranged for us to get into a carriage. It is about five minutes 'drive. The carriage looks beautiful, but in fact it feels like someone is beating you to relax your muscles and rejuvenate your bones. It is also a fresh experience. After getting off the bus, the carriage master left his number and called this number when he returned. There is still a hundred meters away from the park entrance where you get off. There are stalls selling the most fried fish, shrimp and shredded potato cakes, and there is also a foreign young man selling coffee. The scenery of the park is good, especially the dead trees on the beach, which are unique in shape. The third stop is Huayu Ranch. Tickets are 40 yuan, bicycles are 10 yuan, and ceramics are 40 yuan. The specific value of the group ticket is included in the Ctrip group fee. The fourth stop is to go along Huanhai West Road to Shuanglang. The car was supposed to stop at a commercial street in Shuanglang, but we all said we didn't want to go. So the car continued to drive forward and after a long way, we saw the real Shuanglang Ancient Town. We got off the bus and looked at the roadside observation deck overlooking the ancient town and the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake. Sewa Town did not stop. The embankment that netizens said stretched out into the sea like a tongue had been closed. It was said that someone fell into the sea and died. A lawsuit was launched with the town and simply closed it. Xiao Putuo only walks around the shore once. It costs 15 yuan to go to the island by boat, which is self-paid. Especially like Jinshan Temple in Fuzhou, even boats are pulled with ropes.

I went back along Huanhai East Road. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and there are many tourists driving or electric vehicles playing and taking photos by the Erhai Lake. Return to the ancient city of Dali around 6 o'clock. I personally feel that it is quite a long distance to circle the Erhai Lake, and there are no special non-motor vehicle lanes on the road, and they are not wide. Cycling is dangerous and you will be very tired. Overall, Ctrip's one-day trip around the Erhai Lake is cost-effective. Unfortunately, the director (driver and tour guide) is too silent and is a dedicated driver, but not a qualified tour guide. It is recommended that you read the comments first and select drivers who are praised for being enthusiastic and good at talking to communicate with customer service to see if you can appoint a director.

On the sixth day, at 8 o'clock in the morning, I went to Yuermen Fenghua Xueyue Station and took the No. 8 bus to the railway station. The No. 8 bus ran one in about five minutes. Because the road was wide in the morning, no one got on and off at some stations. I arrived at the railway station in 40 minutes. I wanted to change the train ticket that started at 10:52 to 9:41 or 48, but it was unsuccessful.

It will be nearly 1 o'clock to Kunming Railway Station. I booked a double bed room at Kunming Harbor International Boutique Inn and paid 186 yuan for two days. Take Route 2 on Zhanqian Road and get off at the entrance of Caisheng Lane. Go in along Caisheng Lane. Not far after Quanxue Lane, you will reach Longyuan Mansion, which is a commercial and residential building with more than 20 floors. The front desk of the inn is in Room 1301. After checking in, the landlady took me to Room 1304. When I opened the door, I saw that it was a separate "group rental". One suite was divided into 10 rooms. Fortunately, I was arranged in a room next to the side. The bedroom bathroom has windows facing out, and the ventilation is relatively good. To be honest, I never thought that "group rental" could be an inn. I really regretted booking this hotel, but it was really troublesome to negotiate check-out and find another place, so I had to endure it. I didn't expect that the living conditions were really unsatisfactory. There was no TV or electric kettle, the hair dryer provided could only blow cold air, the toilet paper was only the size of a palm, the toilet was very dirty, and the shower head was broken. Needless to say, the thing I regretted the most was that I was going to go to bed at twelve o'clock that night. As soon as I pressed on one leg, I felt my body sink and a corner of the bed collapsed!!! I called the front desk and found that a man who might be the boss came. He lifted the quilt and straightened the bed board. It was probably because a bed board was misplaced. Finally I could go to bed, but I had a lingering fear. After that, I didn't dare to make any big movements in the bed. I was afraid that the bed would collapse again. This was my worst experience so far.

I went out at around three o'clock that afternoon and went to Weiyuan Street to take No. 56 to Cuihu Park. Entering from the south gate, the statue of Wu Qingheng, the old seagull man, was in Shuiyue Pavilion. Turn west from Jiuqu Bridge to the former site of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall. It is free, and there is also a soldier's change of guard ceremony on the whole point. When I went there, the museum was only an hour away from closing. I took a quick look, but unfortunately I didn't catch up with the free explanations of certain points. From the west gate of the park, and from the north gate to Yunnan University via Haixin Pavilion. Looking at the high steps, I gave up the idea of traveling to Yunda. Take the road opposite the school gate of Yun Da to Xiangyan Street, and eat local chicken rice noodles at the Mengzi Stewed Meat Rice Noodles Restaurant next to the intersection of Weiyuan Street. It is called a small portion, but it is actually a big bowl. The portions are full and taste good, only 11 yuan. So I visited this store again the next day. On the same day, I also booked a one-day trip to Shilin in Binda, Yunnan on Ctrip. It was 247 yuan per person, including lunch. The price was similar to that of going there. However, the station where I took the bus to Shilin was far away and inconvenient. I booked a one-day trip.

On the seventh day, I got up before six o'clock and ate a few pieces of white toast with cold water. Before seven o'clock, I stood at the gate of the community waiting for the pick-up bus. Across the street was the Golden Eagle Plaza Hotel. After getting on the bus, they are taken to Haiming Road next to the International Convention and Exhibition Center near the train station. They will find relevant tour guides on the roadside to report to them and register their ID card. After registering, you can go to Qiaoxiangyuan Bridge Rice Noodle Restaurant not far away for breakfast and use the toilet. This is a concentrated bus point for individual tourists. Some go for one-day trips to Shilin and some go to Shilin Jiuxiang. There are many tourists. We set off around 8:10, and the person in charge of our bus of tourists is Director Qiu. After more than an hour to Shilin, I waited at the entrance of the scenic area for Director Qiu to give notes, roll calls, buy tickets, invoice, and introduce tour guides to the scenic area... It was already past ten o'clock when I got on the battery car and set off for the scenic area. Qiu Dao does not enter the scenic spot. The tour guide is a beautiful young girl dressed as a Sani Yi. We call her Ashima according to custom. The distance from the battery car to the real Shilin Scenic Area is not short, with a round-trip ticket of 25 yuan. Tickets are 130 yuan. We visited the large and small stone forests. The big stone forest mainly looks at the stone screen, stone forest inscriptions, lotus pond, and auspicious treasures; the small stone forest mainly looks at the Ashima stone statue. Walking through stones of different shapes and sizes all the way, just as Qiu Dao said: Looking at the big stones from a distance, looking at the big stones up close, they are really big stones, and the stones are really big. You can wear ethnic minority costumes to take photos in Shilin, both for 10 yuan. We leave Shilin at around 1 p.m.. After having a group meal, we return home, and return to the vicinity of Kunming International Convention and Exhibition Center at 3:30. I walked to Guomao Road Station, from A9 Road to Yunnan Minzu Village, and walked a long way to Haigeng Park. I saw Dianchi Lake and stayed for less than an hour. It began to rain, so I took the road back to my house. Take No. 73 at the station in front of the park to Baoshan Crossing. It was still early, so I wanted to go to the recent building and east and west towers near Jinji Square to have a look. After checking the Gaode map, I found that I should have gotten off the bus at the first few stops, so now I have to turn around next time. Walking and walking, I passed Xiangyun Street, Shulin Street, and Sima Lane, and arrived at the recent building. The building was not open, so I walked around the building. It is said that the East-West Tower was built to contain a black dragon, and the Mayuri Tower was built on the well that held the dragon. The legend is magical. Walking back to Xiangyun Street, straight to Carrefour, I bought two bags of flower cakes, which happened to be on sale. Each bag of 200 grams was less than 10 yuan, but it was not Pan Xiangji's.

I will return to Fuzhou on the eighth day. Go to Renmin Road early in the morning and take the No. 2 bus to Huannan Road intersection. The double-decker ordinary No. 2 bus only costs one yuan. Take Line 1 heading for Kunming South Railway Station at the subway station on Huannan Road. Line 1 has two terminals, heading for University Town and Kunming South respectively. It runs at 1:1, so be careful not to get on the wrong train when riding. Listen to the radio prompts or consult the staff present. The section of the road from Erji Road to Dounan on the way was actually driven on an above-ground viaduct, which was a very interesting experience. After arriving at Kunming South Railway Station, I found that it had taken me almost two hours from the inn. The G1696 arrived in Fuzhou at 11:11 on time at 22:13 in the evening. After getting off the high-speed train, I dragged my suitcase and rushed to lead the way, for fear of missing the last subway. I finally caught the subway and arrived home before 11 o'clock, ending the trip.

A one-person trip to Yunnan lasts for eight days and costs about 3,300 yuan. It happened to be a continuous rainy day. Although the rain was not heavy, the weather was cold, the ground was potholes, and the inconvenience of taking photos with an umbrella still affected my travel experience and mood. I was very looking forward to Yunnan before I went to Yunnan, but after I went, the over-commercialization of some scenic spots made people want to go again.
