My wife accompanied me to Yunnan for relaxation on this trip. After all, she had already been to Lijiang and Dali. This time, we mainly wanted to enjoy the scenery of Xishuangbanna's tropical rainforest. The two of us were very casual people and wanted to stop and go according to our own ideas, so we chose to travel freely. The air tickets, hotels, and attractions were all made by ourselves. It was a very cumbersome matter to start doing the strategy first. Seeing that there were so many itineraries to book, my whole head exploded and I didn't want to do it for several days. Then, after finally setting the time, we began to slowly book air tickets and hotels. In fact, the strategy is very simple. Just think about where you want to go and how much time will be enough. Just take the ticket and hotel!

Let's take a look at the approximate itinerary and cost of this trip:

September 13 Chengdu-Direct Flight-Kunming

September 14 Kunming-Train-Dali

September 16, Dali-Green Skin Train-Lijiang

September 18 Lijiang-Direct flight-Xishuangbanna

September 21 Xishuangbanna-Kunming transfer-Chengdu

Ticket cost for two: 1619*2=￥3238

Motor train + train fare: Kunming to Dali 145*2=290. Dali to Lijiang 34*2=68.￥358

Hotel expenses:￥2107

Attraction fees:￥3480

Other expenses plus meals, taxis, souvenirs, etc. add up to the same amount￥12000look like.

This fee is calculated after the last game. The budget for the first two people is￥11000About 1000 yuan, because the estimated price for the trip was about this, it finally exceeded almost 1000 yuan. Basically all orders are placed through Ctrip, and only a small number of other websites are cheaper or purchased directly from scenic spots. The itinerary, hotels and attractions will be introduced in detail below.

PS：

One:Yunnan in September recommends that everyone bring a coat, otherwise it will be too troublesome to check in luggage with too many thick clothes. You can wear short sleeves during the day as long as it is not rainy. Lijiang may be a little colder, which is acceptable. The weather in Yunnan also stops raining once, then it rains again, and sometimes it rains again. Don't believe the weather forecast, it is very inaccurate ~~

Two:When eating rice noodles, snacks and other things, I suggest that you should not go to any so-called chain stores. Just go to those roadside shops. It is delicious and affordable. The price is only about 10 yuan per bowl, and there are many small bowls.

Three: You can book your ticket about 10 days in advance. I just booked it almost 20 days in advance, which caused the ticket to cost more than 100 yuan for some trips. You can use the Ctrip ticket monitoring function to remind you to reduce the price. Train tickets can be booked in advance, and there is no discount on this. It doesn't matter when to book the hotel, because you can cancel it for free after booking and the day before check-in. Just place a new order if the price is low. For example, many hotels have airport pick-up (stop) services. If you like the hotel, I recommend giving priority to the hotel. If the price is right, I booked only Lijiang and Xishuangbanna have airport pick-up services. However, after the check-in experience, I recommend that you book a chain high-end hotel. After all, the sanitary conditions and services are much better. Things like flower building and Vienna will do. It is best not to consider more than 100 B & Bs. Not to mention the poor sanitation and poor service.

Four:Dali and Xishuangbanna both have direct trains to scenic spots. You can book tickets directly by following WeChat. You can book one-day and one-way tickets or tickets. You can even rent a car. I rented a car on it when I traveled around the Erhai Lake. Dali's public account is "Dali Tourism Service", and Xishuangbanna's account is "Banna Good Travel".

Five:The free travel itinerary changes at any time, and we adjusted it several times according to the time during the journey. Because some places have too much time, it depends entirely on which places we like to stay for a while longer.

September 13: Visit Kunming Jinma Biji Square, stay in Kunming

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the festival at noon, I pack up my luggage and prepare my travel items after eating enough. Recommend Ctrip app. There is a travel list on my homepage, and the items required are listed in detail. I use this to clean up. The plane flies directly to Kunming at 6:15 pm. After arriving in Kunming at 7:50 pm, you can take the subway at the airport. It takes a taxi from the airport to the city.￥100Around, the hotel we booked was Kunming Siyue Hotel Beijing Road Tangzi Lane Subway Station Branch. We thought that this place was close to the train station, the city, and the subway. After all, we had to take the bullet train to Dali the next day. The hotel cost¥ 236/night。This hotel is recommended to stay in. Although the price is the cheapest on the entire trip, probably because it is newly opened, the environment feels the best. You can also read it directly on Ctrip, the basic description is consistent.

After checking in to the hotel, I took a taxi directly to Jinma Biji Square. It was very close to the hotel, just a starting price. I always walked back to the hotel when I came back. When I came to Kunming, I didn't feel the tourist atmosphere at all. It was just a modern city like Chengdu. Since Jinma Biji Square was past 9 o'clock, many shops were closed. Basically, they were selling small commodities. Next to Nanping Pedestrian Street, which is the same as Chunxi Road. Jinma Biji Square is two archways. Although it was past 9 o'clock, there were still many people. Then, because the two of them had not finished their meal, they found a roadside stall with fried rice lines and barbecues in the alley. The business was super good, and it was justBiancheng TasteoppositeIt tastes good too.

After having a full meal, return to the hotel to rest and end the first day happily.

September 14:tourKunming Dianchi Lake and Xishan Scenic Area, Dali lives

After getting up at 8:30 in the morning, the sun was shining outside the window, making people feel like a super good day. After cleaning up, there is a Baixiang Garden downstairs of the hotel. There are rice noodles and fast food. When I come to Yunnan, I feel like I eat all kinds of rice noodles every day. Dried rice and the like, but it is still delicious. Yunnan's rice noodle seasonings are all made by themselves. Individuals eat spicy food, but the chili oil is really fragrant. After breakfast, I took a taxi directly to Dianchi Lake. Originally, I planned to play with the ethnic village nearby. On the bus, I heard the master say that the ethnic village was condensed and I couldn't experience the fundamental ethnic customs at all. Then I went to Dianchi Lake first. Dianchi Lake bought a round-trip ticket¥ 70/person.Taking a cableway allows you to view the entire Dianchi Lake. It is still highly recommended. After getting on the cableway, you can overlook the entire Kunming City. The terminal station of the cableway is the Xishan Scenic Area. This scenic spot was completely unexpected, so I chose to go, but I was not disappointed. Let's take a look at a few views of Dianchi Lake:

Simply put, I personally think it is necessary to come to Xishan Scenic Area, because the feeling of viewing the scenery from it is different. The charging standard for Xishan Scenic Area: Longmen Tickets¥ 30/person, one-way battery car¥ 10/person, one-way cableway¥ 25/person。You must still go to Longmen. As the saying goes,"If you leap to Longmen, you will be worth a hundred times."

Recommended ways to avoid turning back: Take a battery car to Longmen-visit Longmen Scenic Area-go under the one-way cableway-under the Dianchi Lake cableway-visit Haigeng Park. Taken in Xishan Scenic Area:

I stayed in Haigeng Park for almost an hour. At 1 p.m., I took a taxi back to the hotel to pick up my luggage. Then I ate rice noodles at the entrance of the hotel. The main reason was that the rice noodles were so delicious. Then I took the subway to Kunming Railway Station and took the train to Dali at 4 p.m. What I want to say here is that if you take the subway to Kunming Railway Station, you cannot get off at Kunming Railway Station. If you want to stop on Huancheng South Road, you must get off. After getting off the bus, you will walk nearly 1 kilometer to the train station. Is this considered the eighteen weird things in Yunnan?!

The bullet train arrives at Dali Railway Station after 6 o'clock. There is a through train to the scenic spot directly at the exit. Buying a ticket to the ancient city of Dali costs only 5 yuan/person. Moreover, it is a direct train, which is much more cost-effective than taking a taxi or public transportation. The departure time of this through train is based on the arrival time of the train, so the time is completely suitable. At night, I stayed at the Vienna Hotel in Ancient City of Dali. Hotel fees¥ 256/night,Ancient City Vienna Hotel is located in the center of Dali Ancient City, and it is very convenient to travel. It is close to Foreign Street, Huguo Road, and taverns. I ate a lot of kebabs in the evening and the famous local bait fan (which smelled of milk). In the evening, I ate Gucheng's secret roasted gluten. The advertisement was "Second in the world, Second in the country, Second in the ancient city". The taste was quite good. There was also the rose milk tea called "Fat Ding in Dali" that was highly recommended! Street kebabs are 1 yuan each, then order takeout fried rice to end the day perfectly!

September 15:tourCangshan, Dali lives in Dali

On the third day of the trip, today's task is still quite heavy. After all, we have to go to Cangshan. Although it is not the top, the route we chose to walk on the Jade Belt Yunyou Road is estimated to take about 7 kilometers in a day. It is not recommended for you to buy round-trip cableway tickets online when visiting Cangshan here, because whether it is Gantong cableway or Ximatan cableway, they sell round-trip tickets online. The biggest disadvantage of round-trip tickets is that you can get off wherever you go, so you cannot experience the beauty of Cangshan in all directions. Recommended route:

Dali Ancient City Scenic Area Direct Train-Gantong Cableway (Buy one-way ticket¥ 85 yuan/person[Including mountain entrance fee¥ 35 yuan/person])--Visit the Zhenlong Chess Game and Qingbixi Scenic Spot--Hiking Yudai Yunyou Road (4.5KM)--Qilongnu Pond (It's not too far to climb, so it's recommended to walk up and have a look)--Return and hike on Qilongnu Pond Cableway ([Buy one-way ticket¥ 80 yuan/person] Because this section has been uphill and we have walked a long way ahead, my physical strength is still a great test)-Take the cableway down--Tianlong Babu Film and Television City--the scenic spot through train back to the ancient city of Dali.

We followed this route. We set off at 8:30 in the morning and came down after 1:00 in the afternoon. It was okay to bring some dry food with our own. At first, we planned to visit Cangshan for one day. During the trip, our plans couldn't keep up with changes and we often changed our itinerary. There is also something I want to complain about is Tianlong Babu Film and Television City. It seems like it costs ¥ 40 to buy it separately, and a round-trip cableway ticket online is given as a gift. However, when I got off the Qilongnongchi Cableway Station, there was only one way to get out of the scenic area. That is Tianlong Babu Film and Television City. As soon as you get down, you are already in the film and television city. There are pits everywhere! Fortunately, I didn't buy tickets individually at that time! Back in the ancient city, it was the rhythm of rice noodles again. They kept talking about having a full meal, but due to time, they were scheduled until evening again.

After filling my stomach, I went to the hotel to pick up my luggage, and then took a taxi to the Dali Tourism and Visitor Center to pick up the rented car. I was preparing to travel around Erhai the next day. Because I had to experience the feeling of a sea view room on the double corridors at night, so I rented a car directly for one day. It was also troublesome for two people to go to the double corridors to take a bus. It was also a lot of use to go back and forth. Renting a car and insurance￥300[Including scratch insurance], in fact, insurance is to buy peace of mind. After picking up the car, I took Huanhai West Road and headed straight to Shuanglang. I couldn't wait to experience the feeling of Erhai Lake. However, since Huanhai West Road is being built and many roads are still in the village and are very narrow, I recommend not taking larger cars. The road surface is also not good, because it rained and there were mud puddles everywhere. After walking for a long time, I walked back to the provincial road. I knew that I had passed Xizhou Ancient Town before walking again on Huanhai Road. Behind it was Huanhai East Road. The East Road is very good. It can be described as a high speed. It feels good to drive a car by the Erhai Lake with the wind blowing. Many people took pictures. Students who like to take pictures can rent a car for Beetle or take pictures with Wrangler. The Erhai Lake is full of scenery. Take a look at Huanhai West Road:

Driving slowly, we finally arrived at Shuanglang Ancient Town. There is a lot of parking in Shuanglang Ancient Town. Just choose one close to your hotel. The reference price is average¥ 30 yuanYiwan, there are parking lots all the way. We just parked the car a little far away, which was very annoying, because the ancient town was also full of stone roads, so it was still very troublesome to pick up luggage. Stay at Haicun Seaview Inn in the evening. It is also available on Ctrip. Hotel fees¥ 480 yuan/night,The price for this room is still quite good. After all, it is still due to the off-season. In fact, there is not much luggage or everyone doesn't think it's troublesome. You don't need to book a hotel in advance in Shuanglang. You may need to book in advance during the tourist season. When you walk into Shuanglang, you can go to the hotel and ask if you think the location is good. There are usually rooms, and you can check in first. This will be more satisfying. Of course, you can choose both the first floor and the second floor for a sea view room. Personally, I think the first floor is comfortable. On the first floor where I live, there is a balcony taken:

We finally had a big meal in the evening. According to the popular list in public reviews, the restaurant "Shuanglang Fisherman's Courtyard" serves Yunnan cuisine. The two people ate roasted five-flower, stir-fried beef with pickled cabbage, and water poplar flowers. I also drank a sour plum soup. The taste is still good. I especially recommend stir-fried beef with pickled cabbage, which is very good for rice. In the evening, we continued the rhythm of the barbecue and made a bottle of romantic flowers and snow moon experience. Dali Time yogurt was also delicious. Another day.

September 16: Visit Erhai Lake in Dali, Mufu in Lijiang, and live in Lijiang

I finally slept in today and woke up at around 8 o'clock every day. Because the train to Lijiang was scheduled for 4 p.m. today, and the only itinerary was to travel around Erhai East Road, I decided to sleep in. I wake up every morning with rice noodles, and I feel like I am eating rice noodles every day. I would like to specifically tell my friends who travel around the Erhai Lake that I must rent a car to travel around the Erhai Lake. You can't ride a bicycle too far. The same is true for battery cars. Moreover, you have to return it wherever you rent it, which makes it inconvenient to return the car when you finally leave Dali. It is much more convenient to rent a car. For example, the car I rented in Gucheng can be returned at the railway station and saved the cost of taking a taxi. The Huanhai East Road extension really sees the most beautiful Erhai Lake. The Erhai Lake is next to the road. It is very close. As long as you don't park at the no-parking sign, it's generally okay. You can stop and take photos without affecting traffic. Generally, there are many cars parked in places with good scenery. Follow the crowd. You must take Huanhai East Road to come to Erhai Lake! Share with you:

Huanhai East Road lasted only 3 hours. We spent two hours, but the plan changed again. It was only 12 o'clock. We went to the railway station and changed our reservation for the train to Lijiang at 1 p.m.., lunch was casually settled at the railway station. Take the green train to Lijiang, but it is faster than a car. It only takes a little more than two hours to get there. The train is a hard seat converted from a previous sleeper. It is still okay in all aspects, but it is not as bad as imagined, although it is not as bad as the high-speed rail. The scenery along the road from Dali to Immediate is still okay, and boring friends can enjoy it. Arrive in Lijiang at nearly 4 p.m. The weather in Lijiang is getting colder, so you need to wear a coat. Lijiang Railway Station took a taxi to Gucheng to check in Huazhu Inn. What I want to say is that Lijiang Railway Station actually charges 3 yuan for a taxi. It's so weird! It costs about 30 yuan to take a taxi from the railway station to Gucheng. Huazhu Inn is very good. I even come out to pick it up when I arrive, help with luggage and check-in. The room is also very small. I will continue to choose Huazhu next time. price¥ 280 yuan/night。I also received a complimentary shuttle service for the two nights stay. In the end, I chose to drop off the plane. It cost 80 yuan to take a taxi to the airport. Then I strolled through the ancient city and passed by Mufu. I really didn't plan to go, because the Internet said that Mufu stopped entering the park at 5 p.m., but after going there, I realized that the park would not close until 7 p.m., so I bought it.¥ 40 yuan/personIt is still worth spending money to visit, you can see the entire ancient city of Lijiang.

After visiting Mufu, the public commented and found a preserved pork ribs hot pot. It tasted very good. The preserved pork ribs were very delicious. The cooked pork ribs were also delicious when cooked with bait nuggets and wild fungi. You must try the preserved pork ribs hot pot when you come to Lijiang. Lijiang doesn't seem to charge maintenance fees for the ancient city at night, but I didn't collect any fees when I went there during the day the next day. I don't know if it's no longer collected anymore. The ancient city of Lijiang is more touching and artistic than Dali. When you walk into the ancient city, you feel different from Dali. The ancient city of Dali feels the same as other ancient towns and feels very modern, but Lijiang is less prosperous and has more literature and art, which may be the reason why there are fewer people in Lijiang in September. The ancient city of Lijiang is still very beautiful at night:

The whole freshly baked flower cake goes well with a bottle of Dali Time yogurt before going to bed! Go to bed early and challenge Yulong Snow Mountain 4680 tomorrow!

September 17: Visit Lijiang Yulong Snow Mountain, Lijiang Live

Today's trip is quite tiring. After all, it is 4680 above sea level. Although I take a cable car to get up, I still have to climb more than 100 meters of plank road. Registered in advance for a local one-day pure play group¥ 366 yuan/person (Including the cost of getting on the large cableway），The master starts picking people up at 7:30 and arrives at the scenic spot at about 9:00. I want to complain about this group here. I hope everyone must choose a big travel company when signing up for a day's tour. I will mention the tour at Banna Newspaper later. It's very good. Lijiang's name will not be mentioned. First of all, the car does not belong to a regular tourism company at all. It is a nine-seater van used by local private people to solicit customers. However, the tourism company insists on saying it is a commercial car, which cannot be defended. Moreover, the tour guide is a master. There is quite no need for him to exist. He will send you to the scenic spot and then pick you up at a designated time. He will just play by himself halfway, without any so-called explanation. Finally, I gave a Samsung review at Ctrip and came to me every day to revoke the review. I decisively refused. I must let all users see the real thing. I never made malicious comments. However, Yulong Snow Mountain is still very good, because it involves ropeway tickets starting at 7 o'clock on the same day, and they are purchased under real name. There is a specified time for taking the ropeway. Groups seem to be able to buy them 2-3 days in advance, so you can only adjust the itinerary based on the ticket for the big ropeway, which is free to adjust.

Here is to introduce you to the places to visit in the scenic area. The Blue Moon Valley Scenic Area is a must-visit. Here I will tell you about the Blue Moon Valley sightseeing battery car. First of all, we need to take a scenic bus from the visitor center to the Blue Moon Valley. Then you can choose a full-journey (3 stops) battery car or a one-way battery car. You can also buy it halfway. One stop is¥ 20 yuan/person, three stations¥ 50 yuan/person。I bought the whole journey, but later found that it was actually very close. I suggest that you don't have to buy it, and buy it when you can't walk. You can definitely walk at one stop halfway because there is beautiful scenery, the weather is not hot, the altitude is not high, and the distance is not far. There are a total of three stops from the top to the bottom from the Blue Moon Valley. Personally, I suggest taking a sightseeing bus when the last one is over Tingtao Lake. You only need to spend 20 yuan, because after the last tour, you have to go to the station and take a bus back to the Visitor Center. This is another uphill slope, and the rest are downhill. Therefore, we recommend that everyone take a sightseeing bus to save energy. The visitor center also has a snow kitchen buffet and a small hot pot for ¥ 48 and ¥ 78 respectively. There are also KFC and other restaurants, which you can choose freely. Recommended route: Starting point of the Blue Moon Valley sightseeing bus, hiking-hiking Baishui River-hiking Yuye Lake-hiking Jingtan Lake-hiking Tingtao Lake--taking sightseeing bus and bus back to the Visitor Center. Blue Moon Valley is really beautiful. Take a look at the photos:

Next, we have a cableway ticket at 1 p.m., and we can get on at 12:30. There are many people on the cableway. First, we have to queue up to take the bus to the cableway station, and then take the cableway up to the cableway station at an altitude of 4506. After getting off the cableway, it is the most difficult plank road of more than 100 meters. Don't imagine that it is only more than 100 meters. However, at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, people with poor physical strength should not support themselves. Be sure to bring oxygen bottles and put on down jackets!

Don't stay on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for too long. It's basically about an hour and a half. After all, the plateau is afraid of being bad for your health. Consider it based on your personal conditions. I returned to the ancient city from the snowy mountains at around 4 p.m. and at 5 p.m. after returning to the hotel to rest, I found the "Dian Chef Restaurant", which is the number one popular Yunnan cuisine list, on Dianping, opposite the Xiaxia Music Workshop. I went there at 6 o'clock and had to queue up. In the end, I decided to sit together to not wait so long and ordered stir-fried yak meat. Wild mountain mushroom ham copper pot rice, horsetail grilled fish, assorted mountain wild vegetables. Two people spent ¥ 164. This consumption is still quite suitable in ancient city. In fact, it is enough to order three dishes. The portions are very sufficient and you can't finish them all. The horse gang grilled fish is made of tilapia. We all add spicy dishes, which are very good and worth experiencing.

After eating, visit the ancient city. The ancient city is relatively quiet after the rain, and there are very few people today. It is very comfortable to walk in the ancient city. I rest early and prepare to go to the airport to fly to the tropical rainforest Xishuangbanna at 7 o'clock the next day.

September 18: Visit the Wild Elephant Valley in Xishuangbanna, where you live in Xishuangbanna

I got up even earlier this morning. The plane arrived at Banna at around 9 o'clock. The hotel arranged for a drop off to Sanyi Airport at around 7 o'clock. Gucheng would have gone to the airport for more than 30 minutes in the morning. The Sanyi Airport building is also an antique building, which has a lot of flavor! I have been hoping that the plane will not be late, because there is an itinerary to Banna Wild Elephant Valley at 1:15 p.m., and I will arrive at Banna at 11:10 p.m.. The hotel arranged a pick-up service. I stayed at Gaozhuang Night Market Huayang Courtyard Inn, which was downstairs. Gaozhuang Night Market, a 5-minute walk from Gaozhuang North Gate Visitor Center, making transportation and tourism very convenient! Everyone who wants to stay in Gaozhuang can book this inn on Ctrip. It's a Douyin Internet celebrity store. I booked it¥ 280 yuan/nightThe peak season seems to be more than 1000 yuan, but after a few days of playing, I feel that there is no need to stay in Gaozhuang because the consumption is too high, which is twice that of the riverside night market in the city, and I cannot truly experience the local flavor, that is, the local customs and customs. Let's go! I believe everyone can understand this meaning.

After checking in to the hotel, I found a small shop on the street and decisively chose Dai's rice noodles, a variety of fried rice lines, cold rice noodles, and boiled rice noodles. After having a full meal, I went to the Gaozhuang North Gate Scenic Area through the Visitor Center to the Wild Elephant Valley. The bus to the Wild Elephant Valley at 1:15 pm and the return from the Wild Elephant Valley at 5:20 am is still very convenient. The time is basically just right. I suggest that friends who have time can spend a little more time, because the time is just right for us. Let's talk about the itinerary of Wild Elephant Valley:

Arrive at the Wild Elephant Valley Scenic Area at 2 o'clock-take the cableway directly to watch the wild elephant growing environment (sit for 35 minutes)-take the plank road to watch the wild elephant growing environment-visit the orchid garden, butterfly garden, lizard garden, etc. -watch the elephant performance--end the trip. It is recommended that everyone only take the one-way cableway, because walking on the plank road is not tiring and rarely climbing. It is basically a flat road, but the charge is a bit unreasonable. The one-way cableway is 50 yuan, and the round-trip is only 70 yuan, because the feeling of riding the cableway and walking the plank road is completely different. I hope everyone can experience it. We didn't see wild elephants this month. It is said that the probability of seeing them in February to March is higher. It depends on luck! On the first day I arrived in the Wild Elephant Valley of Banna, I felt that everything in the tropical rainforest was fresh. After seeing too much later, I became tired. However, it is recommended here that everyone go to the Wild Elephant Valley. Even if you can't see the wild elephants, you can feel the entire wild elephant growing environment. At the same time, you can also watch the elephant performance and interact closely with the elephants. Basically, every performance has an audience interaction session, and you can spend 20 yuan to feed the elephants food after the performance! Just experience it.

View the Wild Elephant Valley on the Cableway

When I watched the elephant performance in the afternoon, although the program was quite good and could make everyone happy, I always felt that these elephants were so pitiful. The ones with ivory were broken off. People just used it for fun, and scenic spots used it to attract tourists. It should have lived leisurely in the rainforest valley, so I could only sigh and sigh! Ended the tour of Wild Elephant Valley with strange emotions.

On the first day I arrived at Banna, I couldn't wait to visit the night market at night. When I walked into the night market, I really felt like I was abroad and had an exotic style. Gaozhuang Night Market, Xingguang Night Market, Da Jinta, Ganbai Street, Liuguo Water Market, every place has a different style. There are all kinds of gadgets, ethnic costumes, fruits, barbecues on the street... It was the first time I saw such a large night market. It was really dazzling. The fruits are super delicious, and the snacks are also good. There is a snack that I haven't eaten yet. Everyone should try it. I can't name it. I can introduce it to you. The fruit is mixed with chili peppers. Everyone should know what it tastes like! In the evening, I went to the Internet celebrity restaurant "Manfeilong Roast Chicken". I really wanted to complain. It was super terrible and the service was super poor. But later I heard from the tour guide that only one restaurant in this roast chicken cooked well. I went to the third restaurant. I hope everyone should pay attention when going!

The night market is really beautiful!

September 19: Visit Xishuangbanna Banna Wangtianshu, live in Xishuangbanna

Continue to get up early. Today's trip only has Wangtian trees for the day, which is relatively easy, but the drive is a bit far, so I suggest you go with the group. It takes about 3 hours each way. When you come back, there is a section of the highway that is not open and you take a mountain road. It is not safe for you to drive yourself. Going to Wangtianshu is a one-day pure tour group, and you can discuss the itinerary with the tour guide. The tour guide also recommends the route and will always follow you. Wangtianshu group purchase spent¥ 198 yuan, it is cheaper than Banna Good Booking. I added 40 yuan to eat the Internet celebrity dustpan meal at noon, which was not bad. Arriving at Wangtianshu Scenic Area at around 10 o'clock in the morning, I went directly to the restaurant for dinner, because after arriving in the scenic area by boat and coming out, I will not be here anymore.

The general itinerary of Wangtianshu is (no turning back): have lunch after arrival (around 11:00)-take a cruise ship to enjoy the scenery of Nanla River-arrive at the entrance of Wangtianshu Scenic Area-hike to the canopy corridor-tour the canopy corridor (included with the group, ticket is purchased separately for 120)-Hiking the virgin forest-return to the entrance of Wangtianshu Scenic Area (around 3:30 pm)-return to Jinghong City (around 6:30 pm)

Internet celebrity dustpan meal (fried rice + sausage + braised pork + corn + salted duck eggs) has a good shape and an average taste.

Scenery of Nanla River

Although the Wangtianshu scenic spot is far away, I think it is still worth visiting. After all, the virgin forest here feels different. Compared with scenic spots such as the virgin forest park, it is like one sky and one underground. The reason why this scenic spot has never been very popular is that the journey is long and it takes a day. The Wangtianshu Scenic Area is the style of a virgin forest. The crown corridor is also connected by several Wangtianshu and two other trees. The Wangtianshu is straight and very tall. Due to its lush branches and leaves, the top cannot be seen at all. There is also a glass corridor in the scenic area, which I haven't experienced, but if you walk through other places, you will definitely not be as exciting as this canopy corridor. It will shake, but you can definitely rest assured that its safety factor is very strong. You must remember to experience it when you come to Wangtianshu!

Photo down the canopy corridor

After the canopy corridor, walk straight along the plank road. The ramps are very gentle, and you can only walk until you reach the Five Fingers Sky. I heard from the tour guide that not all of them are sky-looking trees. The one in the photo below is sky-looking tree. It is very big and high. The highest seems to be more than 100 meters. It's spectacular.

wangtianshu

Walking along the plank road, you can watch the entire primeval forest landscape and banyan trees, root phenomena, and many plants you have never seen before, allowing you to truly feel the primeval forest. It is very quiet and there are not many people, and you can hardly meet anyone on the road. What person? This kind of trip is what I like. I wonder if you like it? Walk all the way to the entrance of the scenic spot, take the bus back to the city, arrive in the city around 6:30, return to the hotel and continue to visit the night market! The night market in Banna can only be said to be too tempting!

September 20: Visit the Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Xishuangbanna, Manting Bonfire Gala, and stay in Banna

I finally looked forward to going to the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I first planned to visit the Botanical Garden and the Dai Garden for a day. After thinking about it, I gave up the Dai Garden. In fact, it was just to experience a condensed version of the Dai customs, just like the Mingzu Village in Xishan, Kunming. Moreover, I booked tickets to the Manting Bonfire Party at night, so I can also visit Manting Park, which is the Imperial Garden after all! In the end, the Botanical Garden chose an in-depth one-day tour. The price¥ 259 yuan/person (including meals, battery cars in the east and west scenic spots), I still get up early in the morning, and the drive takes about an hour. After arriving at the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I don't know what words to use to describe it. It allows you to truly integrate into nature, and all kinds of plants you have never seen before. I can't name them at all. It's okay for children to come to science education, but we laymen can only take a quick look at the flowers! If you don't choose an in-depth tour of the Botanical Garden, you will be OK if you visit the Western District for half a day. Because there is no development in the Eastern District, there were almost no people in the past. Moreover, the Green Stone Forest in the Eastern District is still quite tiring and very steep. It takes about 2 hours to walk. In the east and west scenic spots, we recommend that everyone buy a battery car, get on it if you want, and walk if you don't want to. Don't think that your physical strength is too big, because this scenic spot is beyond your imagination. I really can't say anything to you about plants, so I can only share some photos with you. Regarding the scenic spot, if you are in a hurry, you can just visit the Western District. The Eastern District is just more primitive. The Botanical Garden is actually not mainly used for sightseeing. I heard that this place is mainly engaged in scientific research projects and was later developed for tourism use, so there are not many people, and many facilities in the scenic spot are not very complete. But visiting Xishuangbanna is worth visiting more than any attraction because it is the real authority. Manting Park, Primeval Forest Park, Wild Elephant Valley... Compared with the Botanical Garden, which is nothing more than a big deal, you can ignore these attractions when you go to the Botanical Garden. This is the real plant kingdom. And unlike other attractions, which are made as entertaining, you can also stay at the Wanglian Hotel in the Botanical Garden, but I don't know what the environment is like. Friends who are particularly fond of plants can choose to stay here, and the check-in ticket is free! It's just a little lonely at night!

I returned to the city at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I went back to the hotel to pack up and took a taxi to Manting Park. The bonfire party started entering at 6:30. I found a tour guide to book a VIP ticket to enter in advance. Then I wandered around Manting Park. Although there were no various performances and programs during the day, but with the more tranquility of walking in the garden, you might feel relaxed and relaxed. The bonfire party includes a buffet dinner. The buffet dinner dishes are still very rich, so you can eat as you please. At 7:30, you enter the venue to watch various ethnic performances, which is similar to programs like Lijiang's Eternal Love. After watching the performance, the lights are put on at around 9:00, and then everyone gathered around the bonfire and danced to end the party happily!

After the party, I saw that there was a riverside night market nearby. I said I would stroll here. Sure enough, as the taxi driver said, the consumption here was really only half of that of Gaozhuang Night Market. Note that it was half. A barbecue for two people in Gaozhuang costs about 150 yuan, but it only costs about 60 yuan here. This doesn't seem to be half of it. 39 dozen raw oysters and 80 yuan a dozen in Gaozhuang. The real difference is that shopping is cheaper. Therefore, when traveling to Banna, I suggest that you stay here at Splash Square, which is the urban area of Jinghong. Accommodation is cheaper than Gaozhuang, and consumption is also cheaper. Gaozhuang Night Market can take a taxi one night to visit. The Riverside Night Market is also very good. There is also a barbecue street where locals play. Gaozhuang is a separate night market built for tourists.

September 21: Sleep in, visit Gaozhuang during the day, and go home to live

The trip is coming to an end. I was going to go to the Keno Village to play in the morning, but I finally got up early for many days in a row. In addition, the tour guide of the Keno Village told me that I would climb the stairs and then get down the stairs. He said that I could not go even after going to the bonfire party. Decisively slept in until 11 o'clock. Finally, after eating a bowl of local chicken rice noodles in Yunnan, the hotel sent it to the airport. The flight will arrive in Kunming at around 4 p.m., and then from Kunming to Chengdu at 8 p.m. I would like to remind everyone that if you want to book a connecting flight, you must reserve enough time. I reserved two hours because I have no checked baggage. Generally, there is no problem if I don't delay it, and there is still a risk. If you transfer, it's best to buy the same airline or share the airline, because you don't have to pick up your checked baggage.
Go home and have a Chengdu barbecue and end your trip happily!

This was the first time I wrote a travel guide. I used to think it was a very Easy task, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. I took several days to write it before I could barely finish it. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If you have anything to travel to Yunnan, you can leave a message and ask me!
