Before going to Yunnan, I considered whether it was better to follow a group or travel freely? If you have not been there, you can sign up for a tour group, which is much more convenient to follow. No matter what method you use to arrive in Yunnan, you can rest assured that you find a tour group. Everything will be arranged for you until the end of your journey, the airport and station where you return to your journey., everything will be left to the travel agency, save your worries. After going there and coming back, you can be sure that you will choose to travel freely next time. The time with a group is too tight, and there are more shopping schedules. Although there is no longer mandatory consumption, every tour guide will do everything possible to make you donate generously. Moreover, your itinerary may not be a tour guide, and the tour guide will not tell you in advance that you will change guides halfway through the trip. When you complete shopping on the first tour guide, you may change tour guide immediately. You will have to continue when you get on the bus for the second and third tour guides. I changed three tour guides during my tour on the 6th. The first one went from Kunming to Lijiang, the second one was responsible for Lijiang, and the third one was responsible for the return trip. Therefore, it is better to travel freely next time. Make good strategies and book air tickets, train tickets, hotels, B & Bs and scenic spots in advance. If you want to go to Yulong Snow Mountain, you should also pay attention to the weather forecast of the scenic spot in advance to prevent strong winds from being suspended.

Day 1: I set off on March 1, 2021. Epidemic prevention and control have just been relaxed, and air ticket prices are getting higher day by day. It seems that there are still many people going to Yunnan. There are not many passengers just after the epidemic. The plane for some unknown reason took off late and arrived in Kunming at 2 a.m. on the 2nd. I checked into the hotel and had a rest.

The next day; Kunming was in the southwest. It was not yet fully dawn after I found a guide at 7 a.m. and got on the bus. The car drove east to the Shilin Scenic Area at high speed (I only remember a limerick left by Guo Moruo during his tour of the Stone Forest, looking at the big stones from a distance and looking at the big stones closer; the stones are big, the stones are really big). I was on the way to Chuxiong the whole afternoon. I stayed at the Dinosaur Valley Tea House for two hours on the way, tasting tea, buying tea, and tasting wild mushroom hot pot in Chuxiong at night.

Day 3: Visit the Erhai Lake opposite the ancient city of Dali, tour the island with special cruise ships, enjoy the stroke of the blue sky and white clouds downwind, go to Jinsuo Island and check in on the Internet celebrities to take photos and watch the performances of fishing village fishermen. In the afternoon, visit the tens of thousands of acres of sea of flowers, take a jeep to the Internet celebrity glass ball-white tables and chairs-mirror of the sky, and take a battery car to visit the ancient city of Dali.

Day 4: In the morning, the tour guide will take you to Shuhe Ancient Town to buy jade. The shopping guide will provide one-on-one services. You are embarrassed not to consume, but you require full preparation. The price here ranges from several thousand to hundreds of thousands. You are not afraid to empty your pockets. It is almost noon when you come out. The tour guide will give you a few snacks. First, it will give you some energy and prepare for the next stop at Baisuifang to buy silverware. The second is to buy special snacks to attract customers for the upcoming tour guide work. In the afternoon, we changed to a Mosuo tour guide and took us to Lashihai Wetland Park for horseback riding on the ancient tea-horse road (220 yuan per capita). We visited the Ancient City of Lijiang at night and watched the Lishui Jinsha performance.

Day 5: I bought Huanglong Jade in Shahe Ancient Town in the morning, and brought bread and mineral water to the Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Cableway at noon. At one o'clock, I took the cableway to the top of the Snow Mountain. When I was approaching the top of the mountain, a strong wind blew. The cable car was really a little scared when I was shaking. The cold wind roared on the mountain, carrying snow beads hitting my face, and I couldn't open my eyes. After queuing for two hours, I took the cable car back to the foot of the mountain. I heard that due to the strong wind, the scenic area canceled our subsequent ascent journey, so when it comes to the snow mountains, we still have to talk about the weather. It is also possible to wait a few days if you are unlucky (it is best to prepare oxygen in advance. When a bottle of oxygen at 15 yuan reaches the tourist bus, it will be sold for 60 yuan a bottle. Generally, one bottle per person will do, and two bottles will be prepared over a long period of time). Time is tight and we leave for Kunming after a hasty tour of Blue Moon Valley. It may take 8 hours to drive from Lijiang to Kunming. After going down the mountain, we will be replaced by Kunming's tour guide.

Day 6: The original plan was to arrange a Flower City in Kunming City, but I went directly to the Kunming International Convention and Exhibition Center Tourism Distribution Center to shop. It was still relatively free here. After listening to the explanation, I could move freely. Seeing that it was still early, I called a Didi Express to Dianchi Haigeng Park (about 30 yuan), walked along the scenic road on the east bank of Dianchi Lake, bought some bread to feed red-billed gulls, took a few photos of seagulls, and strung it to Yunnan University to taste wild mushroom hot pot. The fungus taste is very fragrant. Take a walk through the old streets of Kunming. It's almost time to rush to the Convention and Exhibition Center and drop off the plane!
