Travel date: September 2019; days: 9 days.

Route: Kunming-Lijiang-Shangri-La-Lijiang-Dali-Kunming. Kunming is only used as a transit. Since the ticket to fly directly to Lijiang or Dali is relatively expensive, we chose the method of flying to Kunming first and then taking the high-speed rail to Lijiang, and taking the high-speed rail from Dali to Kunming and then flying back on the return journey. In this way, with accommodation, large transportation expenses will still be cheaper. In addition, since the return time to Kunming had been set early in the morning, the journey chose to go to Lijiang first and then to Dali. Dali would be closer to Kunming, so that it would not be so rushed to catch a plane back to Kunming.

Day 1: Arrive in Kunming by plane.

The hotel chose an express hotel near the train station. Anyway, it just stayed overnight, so there was no need to worry about it. Take Kunming Airport Express Line 2 (25 yuan/person) to get off at Jinjiang Hotel near the terminal train station. It takes 10-15 minutes to walk to the booked hotel. It was almost eleven o'clock when we arrived at the hotel and happened to see a barbecue stall downstairs, so we had a late night meal. The barbecue is a local specialty and tastes good. PS. The hotel is located in Xindu Yuncheng, which is a very large community. There are many express hotels. There are snacks downstairs and breakfast shops where you can eat rice noodles. It is not far from the train station. It is a good choice for passengers who take the train early the next morning.

Day 2: Take the high-speed train to Lijiang, Baisha Ancient Town, and Shuhe Ancient Town.

The hotel booked in Lijiang is on Minzhu Road in the west of the ancient city. You can take a direct bus from the railway station to the hotel. Key points 1: There are two types of bus lines at the train station. The one parked in front of the parking lot is a tourist line, which can also be understood as a express line. It only stops at a few large stops, and costs 3-4 yuan/person. The other is the regular bus line parked at the back of the parking lot, which costs 2 yuan/person. You can see the stop clearly, and you can also ask the driver to choose according to your needs. Key point 2: QR codes have been used for public transportation in Lijiang. Just add Lijiang's bus card to the boarding code of the Weixin Mini Programs. Key point 3: Regarding the choice of hotels, we chose the hotel on Minzhu Road in the west of the ancient city. First, the transportation is convenient. There is a bus stop on the road. There are buses to the railway station, the North Gate of the Ancient City, Zhongyi Market, Yulong Snow Mountain, Baisha Ancient Town, and Shuhe Ancient Town. Second, it is centrally located. Even if you don't take a car, you will not be far from walking to the north and south gates of the ancient city. Our hotel is at the foot of the mountain of Lion Mountain in the ancient city. From the main road to the hotel, you need to go up more than ten stairs. It is acceptable to carry large luggage. The stairs next to the hotel can go directly to the top of Lion Mountain. After crossing Lion Mountain, you can go directly to Sifang Street in the center of the ancient city. It takes only about ten minutes to walk. Incidentally, the ancient city is full of uneven stone roads. It is difficult to pull trolley boxes in the ancient city. Those who choose a hotel in the ancient city must be mentally prepared; Third, the supporting facilities are convenient. There is food on Jinxing Street and Qixing Street (Qixing Street itself is the local commercial street) and Minzhu Road where it is located. There is also a comprehensive supermarket. If you want to buy oxygen, you can buy it at supermarkets or general shops. The large gas cylinders we bought were only 15 yuan/bottle, which was much cheaper than buying them in scenic spots.

After checking in at the hotel and having lunch, we took the bus to Baisha Ancient Town. You can transfer to No. 11 and No. 6 (get off Baisha Township People's Government Station). It is not far away and does not take much time. Some vehicles on Route 11 are double-decker buses. It is recommended not to sit on the right-hand side of the first row on the second floor. The roof of the car will scratch branches, and it is a bit dangerous to sit there. In Baisha Ancient Town, you can see the "Baisha Murals"(attractions that require tickets are right opposite the station). Since we were strolling in the ancient town first, it was closed when we returned to Baisha Murals after shopping, so if we want to see the murals, we need to arrange the time. Baisha Ancient Town is not big, and there were not many tourists that day. After getting off the bus, you can follow the crowd and follow the main road to reach the ancient town archway. Then you can stroll around, stopping and taking photos.

After visiting Baisha Ancient Town, the next stop is Shuhe Ancient Town, which is opposite the bus stop in the direction of the return journey. Take the No. 6 bus back and get off at the north gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, so that you can enter the ancient city from the north gate, leaving the ancient city from the south gate, without going back. What should be noted is that the station guide map posted on the bus is slightly different from the station names reported in the voice announcement. Moreover, some stops do not have stop signs on the roadside. You need to pay attention to where the bus is driving, or ask the driver where to get off. We were going to get off the bus at the north gate of ancient town, but we accidentally missed our stop. In the end, we had to take two more stops and get off at the south gate. After entering the ancient town, we also take stop-and-go patting. Shuhe Ancient Town is larger than Baisha Ancient Town, so we must also pay attention to arranging the time. After dinner in the ancient town, it was already quite late. Since it got dark late in Lijiang, I remember that it didn't get completely dark until 8 p.m., so I didn't feel too late for walking all the way. By the time we finished the meal, the bus had already stopped, so I had to go back to the south gate of the ancient town to take a taxi back to the hotel. I can rest assured that there are many taxis at the South Gate, so we don't need to worry about traffic problems. Before taking a taxi, we asked if we used the meter. The driver answered that we used the meter and then we got on the bus. It cost about 20 yuan to return to the Ancient City of Lijiang.

Day 3 and Day 4: Sign up for a group tour of Shangri-La.

I reported a small commercial bus group for a 2-day tour of Shangri-La in advance to a certain pig. Because the transportation in Shangri-La was relatively inconvenient, I chose to sign up for a group. Make an appointment with the driver in advance to pick up the bus, and you can pick up and pick up all the cars near the ancient city. According to observations along the way, small commercial bus groups basically use four rows of 11-seat station wagons (excluding the driver's seat, the last row has 4 seats), and there is relatively little space for luggage. Although the last row has 4 seats, the tires are on both sides. If it really seats four people, it will be very crowded, but if it is four men, it will not be enough.

In two days, we went to the four main scenic spots of Pudacuo, Dukezong Ancient City, Songzanlin Temple and Napa Sea. There was a Tiger Leaping Gorge on the itinerary, but due to the hidden danger of rockfall in the scenic spot, it was temporarily closed and we didn't go. The travel agency refunded the ticket for 45 yuan/person. Let's talk about Pudacuo first. Now, due to environmental protection, only the Shudu Lake Scenic Area is open. You need to take a scenic area transportation bus from the gate of the scenic area to the Shudu Lake. The scenic area tour guide will introduce the tour routes and precautions in the scenic area on the bus. There are three walking trails in the scenic area. You can experience them. If you travel with a group, you can take the most classic plank road along the lake. If you have time, you can choose according to your needs. The most popular ones inside are little squirrels. They may be seen mainly in lush wooded areas on the middle and later stages of the plank road. Some of them are very bold and will come directly to get food from tourists. You can observe carefully. Then let's talk about the ancient city of Dukezong and Songzanlin Temple. The main attraction in the ancient city of Dukezong is the prayer wheel. Other buildings are similar to other ancient cities. Songzanlin Temple is known as the Little Potala Palace and is a temple. There are free explanations inside. If you are interested, you can listen to them. Let's talk about the Napa Sea, which is a place where lakes, wetlands and grasslands are integrated. You can ride horses. The cost is about 100-150 yuan/person. Of course, you can go directly to the lake without riding horses. However, it should be noted that when going to Shangri-La, there are generally divided into small commercial bus groups and bus groups. After comparison, only small commercial bus groups go to Napahai, and bus groups generally do not go. It is worth mentioning that the dinner toast banquet included in the group fare is a good experience. It is a place to watch the folk song and dance performance while eating local chicken hot pot. The dishes can be added in unlimited quantities after eating, and the performance also makes the audience very happy. The temperature difference between morning and night in Shangri-La is very large. It will be very hot after sunrise, but it will cool down immediately after sunset. It is especially emphasized that the ultraviolet rays are really strong. I scorched my scalp in two days until the end of the journey. The scorched scalp did not fall off for a few days. In terms of altitude sickness, it varies from person to person. There is an aunt in the same group who seems to be in good health who also needs to go to the hospital for oxygen at night. There is also a young girl on the shuttle bus in the scenic area when she comes down from Pudacuo. Her hands and feet are so numb that she needs to call an ambulance, but people who are fine are just the same as usual.

Day 5: Ancient City of Lijiang.

The planned itinerary was to go to Lashihai and visit the ancient city of Lijiang, but Shangri-La had already seen the Napa Sea and rode a horse when she came back, and felt that Lashihai was similar, so she decided not to go to Lashihai. Today I only walk around the ancient city of Lijiang, so there is relatively enough time. Sleep until you wake up naturally before starting. First go to the north gate of the ancient city and eat breakfast and lunch together, and then stroll around the ancient city from north to south. There are not many people in the ancient city during the day, so you can walk slowly and take photos. Along the way, I felt that the scenery of the several ancient cities was actually similar. The ancient city of Lijiang was bigger than the ancient town of Shuhe. In the ancient city, there were also stops and starts. You can go to Mufu in the ancient city. I checked the tickets for a certain journey and a certain pig. The prices are the same as the ticket office. On the contrary, there is a staff member from a certain regiment at the entrance of Mufu who is promoting the purchase of tickets for a certain regiment's Mini programs. You can buy them there. The tickets are regular, and the price is reduced randomly, so we reduced the price by 2 yuan. After paying, you can go to the ticket office of the scenic spot to get your ticket and go in. There are free explanations inside, which you can listen while walking. I heard that there would be a recurring light show at the entrance of Mufu starting at 8:30 p.m., but we didn't go to see it because we were tired. We were ready to have a good rest and go to Yulong Snow Mountain the next day.

Day 6: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Transportation: There is a regular tourist line opened by Lijiang Public Transport Company. It stops at regular bus stops and you can get on and off at Zhongyi Market and other stops. It is 15 yuan per person one way. The terminal station is Ganhaizi (that is, the tourist center of the scenic area, ticket office, restaurant, and scenic area transportation buses are all there). Zhongyi Market is the starting station. The first bus is at 7:00 and the last bus is at 16:00. It leaves every about 30 minutes, which is very convenient. The last return bus leaves at Ganhaizi at 17:00. You can just take it back at the place where you got off before. However, note that the driver will leave after this bus is full, so it may leave early.

Tickets: Individual travelers need to purchase tickets in the Mini programs of a tourism group in Lijiang. We bought a package of large cableway (round-trip, including Lanyue Valley) plus scenic area transportation buses (round-trip cableway from tourist center and tourist center round-trip Blue Moon Valley) plus snow kitchen buffet. The price is 120 yuan for large cableway +20 yuan for scenic area transportation buses +40 yuan for snow kitchen buffet, totaling 180 yuan per person. Since tickets for large cableways are controlled in total quantities according to time periods, packages for purchasing tickets with large cableways can only be purchased on the same day, and can be purchased in the Mini programs at 7 a.m. that day. Tickets are divided into time periods, but it is estimated that after getting them, they will not really be given according to that time period. It is said that it is difficult to get tickets during the peak season, but we are both off-peak season and off-weekend holidays, so it is easy to get them. PS. You can go to the ticket purchase page of the Mini programs a few days in advance to check the ticket sales situation, so that you will have a clear idea. Tickets purchased in Mini programs are real-name, and Face Recognition is also required. Visitors can register before grabbing tickets, so that ticket grabbing can be much faster. After buying tickets in the Mini programs, you can swipe your ID card and face directly after entering the scenic area. You don't need to get tickets anymore. It should be noted that the tickets purchased in the Mini programs do not include tickets for entering the Yulong Snow Mountain, but this is a must. When taking the tourist line and passing the gate of the Yulong Snow Mountain into the mountains, the staff of the scenic area will get on the bus to sell tickets at 100 yuan/person. After buying all the tickets, the staff will get off the bus and the car will continue to drive towards Ganhaizi.

There are three cableways in Yulong Snow Mountain, of which the large cableway goes up to the 4508-meter observation deck, and then you can walk along the plank road to the 4680-meter highest observation deck. You need to take a scenic area bus from Ganhaizi to the Grand Cableway, and you also need to take a scenic area bus from Ganhaizi to Lanyue Valley. If you go from the Grand Cableway to Lanyue Valley or from Lanyue Valley to the Grand Cableway, you need to return to Ganhaizi for transfer first. Don't expect too much from the Snow Chef buffet in the set meal. Anyway, you can just keep it full. In addition to the Snow Chef buffet, there is also Snow Chef hot pot to choose from, which will be more expensive. In addition to Snow Kitchen Restaurant, there are many food options in the visitor center, including KFC, but the price will be more expensive than normal outside. There are also food options on the snowy mountains. You can choose from them.

We left Zhongyi Market at 8:50 that day, and the driver drove slowly. We arrived at Ganhaizi at about 10 o'clock. We first visited the snowy mountains, returned to the visitor center at 1 o'clock to have a snow kitchen buffet to settle our lunch, and then visited the Lanyue Valley (walking). The whole process was to wait in line for the up-ramp bus and the round-trip cableway bus, but it was not long, so we could just catch the last special tourist line back to the Ancient City of Lijiang. The specific time to go to the Snow Mountain first or the Blue Moon Valley first depends on your own schedule. The time required to play on both sides is similar.

The aspect of altitude sickness also varies from person to person. We prepared two bottles of oxygen, one big and one small. The only thing we really need is the smaller bottle. We can inhale it when walking from 4508 to 4680. There is a man selling Snickers bars and chocolates at the entrance of the upramp. He will make a terrible statement, but it's up to us whether to buy or not. We have also bought Snickers bars before, but we don't think it really matters whether we eat them or not. In terms of temperature, we didn't snow that day. The temperature at the foot of the snowy mountain will indeed be lower than that in the urban area. When we go up to the snowy mountain, the temperature will be even lower, so we must prepare for cold prevention measures. For Lanyue Valley, we first take the scenic area bus to Yunshanping Parking Lot, and then get off and walk along the plank road. If you don't want to go, you can take the Lanyue Valley battery car at an additional cost. The route of the battery car and the walking route are actually the same. Every time the battery car goes to an attraction, it will stop for tourists to get off and visit. After the tour, tourists will take the bus to the next attraction. If they have enough time and physical strength, there is no need to take the battery car. Follow the plank road, visit the last lake in Lanyue Valley, Tingtan Lake, and then go up the mountain road (yes, it is indeed along the mountain road. There are basically no people walking on that road. At first, we hesitated, but we still walked up until we saw a battery car coming behind us. We asked the driver to confirm that we were on the right track), you can reach the transportation car parking lot and take a transportation bus back to Ganhaizi. In fact, the bus stop is just up the stairs next to Jingtan Lake. If you don't want to follow the mountain road, you can walk back the same way to Jingtan Lake. The specific route will be clear by looking at the guide map of the scenic spot.

Day 7: Lijiang to Dali, three towers, ancient city of Dali.

I purchased a bus from Lijiang Ancient City directly to the south gate of Dali Ancient City on a pig in advance. I would like to strongly recommend a bus for a certain way here. A pig has a direct-sales store and its own public account. It is very formal. It goes directly from the ancient city to the ancient city. There are several points around the ancient city of Lijiang to get on the bus, which is very convenient and saves the trouble of getting to the passenger station or train station. The price is not expensive, even cheaper than the shuttle bus at the passenger station. You can buy tickets on a pig or on the public account. There is also a discount on a certain pig, so you can choose a seat in advance one day before departure. We used a tourist bus on that bus, and there were not many people, so it was very comfortable to sit on. Each car will be equipped with an on-board assistant. The assistant will contact the passenger in advance before departure to explain the waiting time, location and license plate, so as to not be afraid of taking the wrong car. The assistant will also tell passengers information such as travel precautions on the bus, which are all very good. It takes about three hours from Lijiang to Dali, and it will be there soon.

We chose the inn in Dali near the Erhai Gate outside the ancient city of Dali. Parking can be parked on the small road downstairs of the hotel, and there is also a breakfast shop. It is only a few minutes 'walk to the ancient city, which is very convenient. After getting off the bus, we saw that we were carrying a lot of luggage, so we took a three-legged motorcycle to the hotel for 10 yuan. Key points: There are many such three-legged motorcycles around the ancient city of Dali. You can get them for basically 10 yuan to go to places near the ancient city, but the driver will charge a high price, so remember to bargain.

After checking in at the hotel at noon, we went to eat near the ancient city, and then went to the Third Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple. There was a little distance from the ancient city Erhai Gate to the third towers of Chongsheng Temple, so we took a three-legged motorcycle ride. At first, the driver asked for 25 yuan. After several bargains, the deal was finally settled for 10 yuan. We bought the tickets for the three towers of Chongsheng Temple on a pig, which is a little cheaper than buying tickets at the ticket office. The Three Pagoda Scenic Area of Chongsheng Temple is actually divided into two parts, one part is the three towers, and the other part is Chongsheng Temple. As soon as you enter the entrance of the scenic area, you will actually find the three towers (you cannot go up to the towers). After swimming the three towers, you will find Chongsheng Temple. In addition, there is a shadow pool in the woods behind the three towers, where you can see the reflections of the three towers. Later, a super clock is built. The top of the clock can be seen from a high point of view. There is a battery car in the scenic area, which can take tourists to various attractions in the scenic area (probably the main halls of the temple) and back and forth. The cost is additional. We are not in a hurry and we still have physical strength, so we choose to walk. Chongsheng Temple is a temple with similar layout to ordinary temples. Just follow it.

After touring the Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple, we took the Three Towers special bus (3 blocks/person) at the bus terminal at the entrance of the scenic area to the west gate of the ancient city of Dali, namely Cangshan Gate, and got off and went into the ancient city. Dali Public Transport, like Lijiang, has also opened QR code payment. The ancient city has a total of four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest. In addition, there is also a Wuhua Tower near the south gate. The south gate can be said to be the main entrance of the ancient city. The north gate tower can be accessed, but it is just the upper gate tower, and the scenery is average. After we entered the ancient city from the west gate of the ancient city, we felt that the atmosphere of life was quite strong. It was ordinary houses in the city, as well as a vegetable market, and cars could also pass through. Later, we realized that we had not yet reached the core business district of the ancient city. Continue to walk east for four to five hundred meters and you will see the place ahead where vehicles are prohibited from passing through. It is the core commercial district of the ancient city. It is similar to the ancient cities of Lijiang and Shuhe. The ancient city of Dali is not very big. We visited all four city gates and Wuhua Tower that day. In the ancient city, I tried the famous snack roasted milk fan, but the taste was really not acceptable to everyone.

Day 8: Driving around the Erhai Lake by yourself.

I found a car rental car on a pig in advance. If Sesame has enough credit, you can also waive the vehicle deposit. You only need to pay a violation deposit of 200 yuan. The car use time is 10 hours. Contact the customer service for the vehicle handover location one day in advance. Since our inn is around the ancient city, the store can drive the car directly to the inn downstairs and hand it to us. In addition, the rental car we chose was also close to the train station, so we could return the car there. Since our hotel was near the train station that night (it was convenient to take the train back to Kunming the next day), we made an appointment to return the car at a point near the train station, so we could just bring our luggage with us.

The store delivered the car on time that day. Both parties checked the ID, fuel quantity, and body appearance before they could officially use the car. The first stop is Haiyue. We started walking along Huanhai West Road. The scenery along the way is good. Some places can walk directly to the wetlands by the sea, which feels very peaceful and original. But let me remind you that Huanhai West Road is basically a mud road, with potholes and bumps. It is really difficult to walk, so you must be mentally prepared if you want to take Huanhai West Road. At first, we followed the navigation in sections. It was okay to walk from Caicun to the RV camp. After the RV camp, we navigated into the village. However, the village road was too narrow and difficult to walk, more difficult than the mud road. In the end, we decided to return to Huanhai West Road. Along Huanhai West Road, we can go all the way to the sea tongue, but it is still a mud road. We were not sure whether it would be easy to walk, so we decided to return to the main road. Walking along the main road, you can see golden crops on both sides. It is a bumper harvest. The scenery is actually good.

Walk along the main road to Xizhou Ancient Town. There are two options here. One is to park the car in the ancient town. There is a parking lot in the ancient town. The price is not expensive, and then take a three-legged motorcycle or a carriage to Haitang. The distance is not very far, and the price is not expected to be too expensive; the other is to continue driving to the Haitang parking lot. We chose to continue driving. Anyway, we followed the navigation, but there was a section of the road in the middle that followed a car in front of us. I didn't know if he was going to Haitue. That section of the road was also a section of mud road. If it rained, it would be troublesome, but fortunately it passed smoothly. In the end, we still followed the navigation and reached the Haitue parking lot. In addition to the parking lot in the scenic area itself, there are many private parking lots nearby. We parked private parking lots for 5 yuan each (at first, we saw an open space that no one cared about, so we parked the car there. Who knew that someone would come to collect the money when we took the car). If we ate at their restaurant, we could park for free. They said that parking in the scenic area parking lot was 10 yuan. I don't know if it was true or not. In addition to the parking lot, we saw some chartered drivers parked their cars on the roadside, but their drivers didn't leave there, so we didn't dare to park on the roadside casually. It would be better to park in the parking lot.

There is still a long way from the parking lot to the real sea tongue. You can walk, take a three-legged motorcycle (5 yuan) or a carriage, but you can't actually go to the main gate of the park. There is still a short distance outside the main gate. The road is set up by vendors, so you can only walk there. Haiyue can be regarded as a wetland park. You can walk along the roads on both sides to see different scenery on both sides. Most of the areas at the end of the sea tongue are enclosed and turned into Internet celebrity shooting bases. The price is 10 yuan/person to take photos, and props can be used as you please. There is also a famous couple tree near Haizui Park, which is two to three hundred meters into the path west of the parking lot. After watching the Haitang and the Couple Tree, we returned to Xizhou Ancient Town. We followed the navigation and found that the road we came from and the way we returned were different. We felt that the way we went back was easier than the way we came from, but a section of the road was actually blocked. We need to detour again. There is still a section of the road that can only be taken by one car. If we meet, only one car can move backwards.

After returning to Xizhou Ancient Town, we didn't stop due to time constraints and drove directly to Shuanglang. The road after that is very easy to walk. After walking to Huanhai East Road, you don't even need navigation. You can just walk straight along the seaside road. There are also many places to take photos along Huanhai East Road, so you can stop your car to take pictures. Driving is prohibited in Shuanglang Ancient Town. The car is parked in the parking lot on the edge of the ancient town. The price seems to be 10 yuan for the first two hours, and then 2 yuan per hour for the next. We ate in Shuanglang and then visited the ancient town. Shuanglang is different from other ancient towns in that it has Erhai Lake as the background, allowing us to experience the customs of a seaside town.

After the double corridors, we opened the hotel as our destination. Walking on the coastal road is really comfortable. The sky, white clouds, Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain are integrated into one body, giving a refreshing feeling of the vast sea and sky. There are many beautiful places along the road. You can stop and take photos. Anyway, if you see a car parked, you can just stop with it. We didn't stop at Xiaoputuo either. We just took a pat on the car and left. Time was tight. If Xiao Putuo parks, you can park your car in a roadside parking space for 10 yuan. The scenery along the way after Xiao Putuo is slightly worse than before.

It was about 18:00 after walking Huanhai East Road. At this time, the roads in the city began to get a little traffic jam. We drove to fill up first. Today, the whole journey took more than 120 kilometers, and I added 70 yuan and 92 gas. I just returned to the number shown on the fuel gauge when I rented the car (we rented an economy car and had little fuel consumption). Then I went to the hotel to put down my luggage, and then I returned the car at the return point. When returning the car, the store mainly checks the body, tires and fuel gauge, and hands it over if there are no problems. The 200-yuan violation deposit is refunded 15 days later if there are no violations.

After the entire journey around the Erhai Lake, the 10-hour car ride time was a bit tight. The main reason was that the road to the sea tongue was unfamiliar and the road was not good at the beginning, so it took more time, which led to tight time later. In terms of scenery, I feel that the west and east sides of the sea are two different scenery. The west side looks at the wetlands, which is very peaceful and original. The east side looks at the blue sky, white clouds, lakes and towns, with a broad sea and sky. The speed limit on Huanhai Road is 40km/h, and there are no parking signs all along the road. However, there are not many cameras visible to the naked eye, and the most are the section of the road along the Shuanglong Corridor. The speed of our journey is 40-60. When we park to take pictures, we basically park when we see other cars parked. Of course, we stop temporarily to take pictures. The parking lot is parked at the double corridor. Generally speaking, it is convenient to drive by yourself and feels very good.

Day 9: Dali returns to Kunming and returns.

Today is the return journey by high-speed rail and plane. I went to Dali Station early in the morning and took the high-speed train. After arriving in Kunming, I went to the post office next to the train station and sent a postcard. What is worth praising is that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the post office was still open, and the staff were also very helpful. After getting off the train in Kunming, there is a express waiting channel for the airport bus next to the platform. If you don't need to leave the station, you can just go in and catch a ride. Outside the train station, there is also an airport bus ticketing point just next to the exit, which looks a bit like a copycat. The bus place is next to the ticketing point. Someone takes it there and it is very close. It takes about 40 minutes by airport bus, and it should take an hour to get there if you include traffic jams.

Postscript: After I came back, I calculated it and added up all the expenses for the journey, including all the miscellaneous expenses for 9 days. The average cost of the journey was more than 4300 yuan.
