For the long-awaited trip to Yunnan, I did a long time of research and strategies on Yunnan tourism before going out. I wanted to visit many places and had a full schedule, but I didn't expect that the arrival of the strong typhoon "Licima" disrupted our plans. The moment we arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, we received news of flight delays. Fortunately, we didn't cancel them, otherwise everything would be goodbye. Fortunately, our flights were only delayed. We could only comfort ourselves in this way, otherwise the whole trip would not be in a good mood, although it actually disrupted our plans.

Day 1: Shanghai → Kunming, live in Kunming

Shanghai Hongqiao Airport T2 took a flight to Kunming Changshui Airport. It was originally expected to arrive at 12 o'clock, and then immediately rushed to the train station to Lijiang. There are many flights from Shanghai to Kunming, which is about 1,000 to 2,000 yuan cheaper than flying from Shanghai to Lijiang. The round-trip cost at most 4000 yuan. I can also visit Kunming on the way. This is really a good, economical and reasonable trip. Unfortunately, I didn't expect the plane to be delayed by more than 4 hours, so it was still a little. I missed the train o()o. Then I had to change my itinerary immediately, stay in Kunming for one day, and go to Lijiang the next day (train ticket refunds and one-night inn in Lijiang cost a lot of money)

Kunming Attractions Introduction 1:

1. Haigeng Park, where you can visit Dianchi Lake (you can visit it together with Yunnan Ethnic Village and Yunnan Ethnic Museum)

Dianchi Lake is also known as Kunming Lake, Kunming Pond, Southern Yunnan Zeze, and Yunnan Sea. In the southwest of Kunming City, there are rivers such as the Panlong River. The lake surface is 1886 meters above sea level and covers an area of 330 square kilometers. It is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and is known as the pearl of the plateau. The average water depth is 5 meters, and the deepest is 8 meters. Dianchi Lake is a national-level tourist resort in China. It is surrounded by Yunnan Ethnic Village, Yunnan Museum of Nationalities, Xishan Huating Temple, Taihua Temple, Sanqing Pavilion, Longmen, Yanzhu Temple, Daguanlou, Jinning Panlong Temple, Zhenghe Park and other scenic areas.

2. Cuihu Park (You can visit it with Yunnan University and the Army Lecture Hall; Siberian red-billed gulls migrate here in winter, which is the best to see at that time)

It was originally part of Dianchi Lake and was formerly named "Caihaizi". It was gradually separated from Dianchi Lake after the dredging of Haikou in the Yuan Dynasty, when the water level of Dianchi Lake was greatly reduced. However, it was still "connected with the lotus root", and there were still rivers connected to the Caohai of Dianchi Lake through the first line of Honghua Bridge. Mu Ying, who was guarding Yunnan, once stationed troops here. Thousands of military horses often bathed in the river next to the lake, so this river was named "Xima River". Because of the continuous flow of groundwater from the lake, it is also known as the "Jiulong Pond". In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, someone planted lotus in the lake. When the lotus flowers were in full bloom, it became a tourist destination. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Governor Fan Chengxun and Governor Wang Jiwen built a Shuang Pavilion on Cuihu, and also built a "Biyi Pavilion" on the island (now the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake). Since then, Cuihu has become a sight in Kunming. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, two embankments were built in the lake, running through the east, west, north and south, forming the intersection of the "ten" character. After that, Cuihu gradually became a famous tourist area. After the 1950s, after many government renovations, Cuihu has become one of the main parks in the city.

3. Daguanlou Park (where "Extreme Challenge" was filmed, the most famous thing about Daguanlou is the longest couplet in China in front of the building)

It is 6 kilometers away from Kunming, facing Dianchi Lake and facing the green and undulating Taihua Mountain Peak across the water. Therefore, it is also called "Jinhuapu" and is a famous tourist attraction in central Yunnan. Daguanlou Park was built in the 21st year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1682). It has been more than 300 years. In the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family, who was hereditary in charge of Yunnan, practiced navy in Dianchi Lake and built a garden here. Because it was close to Taihua Mountain on the other side of Dianchi Lake, it was named "Jinhuapu". Later, Hubei monk Qian Yin came here to gather Mao to read scriptures and built a Guanyin Temple, which was more than 300 years ago. Go straight next to the lotus pool when you enter the park. There is a pavilion in front of you. The couplet reading "I have traveled through the Canghai Beach for water. If I want to climb a tall building, I have to dock a boat" is hung on the door. It says that in ancient times, you must pass through a boat crossing and dock in front of the pavilion to climb the Daguanlou. The pavilion has glazed yellow tiles and marble inlaid in the middle. The words "Near Huapu" are engraved on the book. Through the pavilion door, a square three-story building emerges amidst the green trees. This is the famous Daguanlou. In the 29th year of Kangxi (1690), Governor Wang Jiwen oversaw the construction of the building, and built buildings such as Yongyue Pavilion, Chengbi Hall, Chaoqin Hall, and Guanjia Hall next to it. Due to the wide view of climbing the building, the scenery is spectacular, so it is named "Daguanlou".

Day 2: Kunming → Lijiang, live in Lijiang

In the morning, I went to Kunming Station to eat crossing the bridge rice noodles (Qiaoxiang Garden and Mengziyuan are the most authentic ones, and now they have also formed a chain store, with many branches in Kunming).

Then take the train to Lijiang Station (about 3 hours away); visit Lijiang Ancient City in the afternoon.

Lijiang Ancient City (Dayan Ancient City)

At an altitude of 2416 meters, the streets in the ancient city of Lijiang are built around mountains and rivers and paved with red breccia. There are large water cars (the water cars and the wishing forest are very beautiful), Sifang Street, Mufu, Wufeng Tower, Black Dragon Pool, Wenchang Palace, Wang Pizhen Memorial Hall, Xueshan Academy, Wangjiazhuang Christian Church, Fang Guoyu's former residence, Longtan Baima Temple, Gu Peter's former residence, Jinglian Temple, Puxian Temple and other attractions. Lijiang is one of the second batch of approved historical and cultural cities in China. It is one of the two ancient cities in China that have successfully declared the entire ancient city for a World Cultural Heritage. The ancient city of Lijiang has colorful local ethnic customs and entertainment activities, such as Naxi ancient music, Dongba rituals, divination culture, ancient town bars and Naxi Torch Festival, which are unique.

Main attractions:

Mufu: Mufu was originally the government office of the Mu family, a hereditary Tusi in Lijiang. It is located at the eastern foot of Lion Mountain in the ancient city. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368 AD) and was rebuilt in 1998 and transformed into the Ancient City Museum. Mufu covers an area of 46 acres. There are 162 rooms of different sizes in the mansion. The central axis is 369 meters long. Sanqing Hall, Yuyin Tower, Guangbi Tower, Dharma Hall, Wanjuan Tower, Meeting Hall, and Zhongyi Square are well arranged from west to east. There are eleven plaques awarded by successive emperors hanging inside, reflecting the rise and fall history of the Mu family. The TV series "Mufu Fengyun", which tells the story of the Musi Tusi in Lijiang, was filmed here. Where "Extreme Challenge" was filmed.

Wufeng Tower: Wufeng Tower is located in Fuguo Temple in the city. Wufeng Tower was built in the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1601) and is 20 meters high. Because its architectural shape resembles five flying colorful phoenixes, it is named Wufeng Tower. The ceiling of the building is painted with a variety of exquisite patterns. Wufeng Tower combines the architectural art styles of Han, Tibetan, Naxi and other ethnic groups. It is a treasure and typical example of ancient Chinese architecture.

Wanggulou: There is a mountain in the southwest corner of Dayan Ancient City in Lijiang. It looks like a sleeping lion guarding the ancient city. It is called Lion Mountain and was opened as a park in 1998. The five-star classical all-wood structure view building built on the top of the mountain is called "Wangu Building". The building is 32.8 meters high, with 16 24-meter-long wooden columns leading to the roof. There are 12600 Naxi style faucets upstairs, setting the highest in the world. Where "Extreme Challenge" was filmed.

Sifang Street: It is a snack street in the ancient city. There are dozens of small restaurants on both sides of the street. Each restaurant has Yunnan's unique rice noodles and has a wide variety, so this street is also called "Lijiang Rice Noodle Street". Sifang Street is the center of the ancient city of Lijiang. It is said that it was built by Mu's Tusi in the Ming Dynasty according to the shape of its seal. This is the most important hub station on the ancient tea-horse road. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, merchants from all walks of life have gathered, and the cultures of various ethnic groups have gathered here. It is the center of economic and cultural exchanges in Lijiang. Sifang Street is an important place for residents of the ancient city to carry out festival activities. The song and dance performances are held every day: 11:10-11:40, 14:10-14:40 and 16:10-16:40.

Kegong Square: Located on the west side of Sifang Street, it is a three-story building. It is said that Kegongfang was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and was built for the Yang family's "one door and three moves". In the first year of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1723 AD), Lijiang implemented the "transformation of land and return to Liu", changing from the original hereditary rule of the Tusi to the rule of Liu officials appointed by the central government for a certain term. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, two brothers Yang Zhaolan and Yang Zhaorong, who lived in Kegong Lane, were both elected. During the Daoguang period, Yang Zhaorong's son Yang Shuochen was elected again. Therefore, the government and the people lost money and built a two-story Kegong Square at the entrance of the alley. It was destroyed by fire on the third day of the first month of 1944. Three years later, Kegong Square was rebuilt and upgraded to three floors.

Stone Bridge: There are 354 bridges built on the Yuhe River system in the ancient city of Lijiang, with an average density of 93 bridges per square kilometer. The shapes of bridges are varied. The more famous ones are Suocui Bridge, Dashiqiao, Wanqian Bridge, Nanmen Bridge, Ma 'an Bridge, and Renshou Bridge, all built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (14th-19th centuries AD).

Dashi Bridge is the first of the bridges in the ancient city. It is located 100 meters east of Sifang Street. It was built by the Tusi Mu of the Ming Dynasty. Because the reflection of the Yulong Snow Mountain can be seen from the river under the bridge, it is also known as Yingxue Bridge. The bridge is a double-hole stone arch bridge. The arch rings are supported by slab rock. The bridge is more than 10 meters long and the bridge width is nearly 4 meters. The bridge deck is paved with traditional five-flower stone, with a gentle slope, which is convenient for cross-strait exchanges.

Specialty cuisine:

Chicken bean jelly: Food made with chicken beans as the main raw material. In hot weather, mix with chili powder, leeks, mung bean sprouts, spinach, pepper oil, pockmark salt, mustard and other seasonings. In addition, there is steamed jelly made by stewed flour mixed with fried yellow jelly and steamed in a cage. It is mostly used in vegetarian restaurants.

Lijiang Baba: The main raw materials are fine wheat flour, ham, and melted oil. Bake it on slow fire, golden in color, salty and sweet.

Glutinous rice cake: Naxi language for making juice. Practice: Shake the glutinous rice noodles with clear water, add fennel tips. One is rice wine and clear water, mix the glutinous rice noodles, knead them into a cake shape of about 3 centimeters, heat the oil, fry the cake into the oil, stir the juice to foam, and turn golden yellow. Use a colander to pick up, add sugar to the two cakes, and place them on a plate to eat.

Laminated pork ribs hot pot: Lijiang's specialty hot pot. Laminated pork ribs are used as soup base and vegetables are added as side dishes. Purple potatoes and water poplar flowers are must-add local side dishes (water poplar flowers taste similar to water cress)

Transportation:

Taxis: There are no taxis in the ancient city of Lijiang, and motor vehicles are prohibited. The main taxi stopping point is located near Yulong Bridge at the junction of the ancient city and the New town area. When taking a taxi in Lijiang, you must first ask for the price. Lijiang taxi management is confusing.

Day 3: Lijiang, live in Lijiang

The best trip that day was to go to Yulong Snow Mountain, but because our plane was delayed, we didn't have time to go.

Precautions for Snow Mountain:

1. People with high blood pressure, heart disease, and severe colds cannot get on this cableway. Too high an altitude may endanger their lives.

2. Plateau reaction: You can walk from 4506 meters to 4680 meters from the upper station of the cableway. You will experience altitude reaction. If you work within your capabilities, you will lack oxygen at high altitudes, and you need to make physical and mental adjustments in advance. Be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, winter clothing, and oxygen bottles when going up the mountain (20 yuan per bottle in the ancient city and 70 yuan per bottle on the mountain); you will experience altitude sickness from the start of riding the cable car; it is about 300 meters from the platform to the summit, but you will be very tired. You need to take oxygen every step of stairs. It will be better to go down the mountain. When queuing up to take the cable car down the mountain, there will be oxygen deficiency if people are crowded; people are not recommended to go up the mountain.

3. The wind is strong in spring and winter, and even if you buy a ticket, you may not be able to get there. Please be mentally prepared in advance. Generally, it is better in the morning, but there are many people who will queue up for a long time.

4. Lijiang is cool in the morning and evening. It is recommended to wear a thin sweater and coat a windbreaker; local drinking water is melted from ice and snow, and the cold is heavy. If the body is cold, it is better to drink bottled water.

Glacier Park: It is located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. On the Yulong Snow Mountain, the main peak of the snow mountain has a steep northeast slope. It is a typical representative of modern glaciers in the snow mountain. Glacier Park is a park composed of caves and stone caves eroded by glaciers. It is a geomorphic relic formed by Quaternary glaciers and is known as the "Lucerne Glass Palace".

Yulong Snow Mountain is one of China's first national 5A-level tourist attractions, with an area of 415 square kilometers and a highest altitude of 5596 meters.

By taking a fully enclosed cableway, you can see the vertical distribution of plants in the snowy mountains. Starting from the meadow at an altitude of 3000 meters, you can pass through various tall pine and fir trees. As the cableway rises, the forest gradually moves away, and then bushes are overgrown, and there are also clusters of azalea forests. At an altitude of more than 4000 meters, you can only see the moss attached to the rocks, and finally the vast white snow. When you reach the upper station of the cableway, you walk out of the station building of the cableway station and enter the Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Park. The Yulong Snow Mountain is the lowest latitude snow mountain with modern glaciers in Eurasia. At its eastern foot, there are four stages of ancient glaciation of the Pleistocene period distributed within the glacier park, which is 15-16 kilometers long from north to south and 4-5 kilometers wide from east to west. However, there is a modern glacier with a small area but very complete and diverse types. and ancient glacier relics can be said to condense the main essence of mountain glaciers in the world's middle and low latitudes. They are very rare in our country. They play an extremely important role in glacier research, ecological environment protection, tourism, and scientific investigation and research.

Big Cableway: Traveling west about 5 kilometers from the Ganhaizi Tourist Center, you will arrive at the lower station at the foot of the Snow Mountain. This is the starting point of the Snow Mountain Cableway, a dense virgin forest. The altitude is 3356 meters, and the cableway runs upwards from here to the upper station directly below the main peak of the snowy mountain, where the altitude is 4506 meters. The cableway has a total length of 2914 meters and a vertical height difference of 1150 meters. It is the highest tourist passenger cableway in my country. The cableway adopts a 6-seat luxurious lift-off fully enclosed crane box, which is safe and comfortable. Your journey runs from the vast forest of the lower station to the snowy white sky of the upper station. The running time in the middle is only half an hour, but it feels like experiencing four seasons. Strong seasonal changes, differences in warm and cold, and changes in scenery will make you excited. Because the Yulong Snow Mountain is an extremely high mountain in the subtropical zone of Yunnan, it has a complete vertical natural landscape from the subtropical zone, temperate zone to cold zone from the valley at the foot of the mountain to the peak, and you can experience it in a very short period of time.

Safety tip: The temperature in this place is relatively low, so tourists are advised to bring thick clothes. As for whether oxygen cylinders are needed, it varies from person to person. Generally young people should not need them, but older tourists need to prepare.

Blue Moon Valley, Baishui River: Blue Moon Valley was formerly known as the "Baishui River". On sunny days, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley. The name Baishui River is also called Baishui River because the mud at the bottom of the lake is white and the water turns white when it rains.

Introduction to Lijiang specialties:

1) The fruit platter is about 4.5 yuan/250g, which costs 9 yuan per catty. It is not a good deal. If you really want it, try to choose expensive fruits. Peaches and watermelons are a bit uncost-effective;

2) Flower cakes made by machine and filled with dried flowers are 1 yuan/piece, handmade and filled with fresh flowers are 2 yuan/piece, with free shipping over 100 yuan. The shelf life is about 28 days and cannot be put in the refrigerator; try to buy them in Lijiang. The flower cakes in Kunming are more expensive than those in Lijiang, and are not fresh or delicious;

3) Yunnan Arabica coffee is basically powdered, and coffee beans are rarely sold in stores;

Day 4: Lijiang → Lugu Lake, live in Lugu Lake

In the morning, you will charter a car from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, arrive at noon and start sightseeing (you can charter a car online in advance, or you can find a car at Lijiang Inn. Be sure to book a 2-day trip, it is not enough for one day; Lugu Lake Inn recommends you find it yourself. The annexes on the Rigg Peninsula are better, and inns far from the lake are usually not very sanitary).

Approximate price: Tickets are 70 yuan/person, cruise ships are 50 yuan/person, boarding the island is 30 yuan/person, Mosuo party is 30 - 100 yuan/person, and carpooling around the lake is 75 yuan/person;

After checking in for lunch, you can take a boat, board the island, and select scenic spots in Sichuan around the lake in the afternoon.

Riewbee Island: Enjoy the scenery by the lake and take a pig trough boat to board Riewbee Island. Visiting Liwupi Island usually takes 20 minutes to get there from Daluo Water Pier. The boat fare is generally bargained for 30 to 50 yuan/person. After arriving on the island, follow a path to the top of the island and look around the lake. The temples and white pagodas on the island are full of incense.

Walking Wedding Bridge: Because Mosuo people pass by here during walking weddings, it is called Walking Wedding Bridge and has also become a symbol of local love. There are many people on the bridge, and Lugu Lake cannot be seen on the bridge, only Caohai can be seen.

Caohai: This is a sea of grass. The endless sea of grass is filled with reeds like walls. The waterways are complex, with small boats appearing among them, and the grass floating in the breeze. The walking marriage bridge passes through Caohai.

Day 5: Lugu Lake → Lijiang, live in Lijiang

Surround the lake in the morning and return to Lijiang in the afternoon;

For lunch and dinner in Lugu Lake, it is recommended to try local firewood chicken (about 260 yuan) and stone pot fish. Water poplar flowers are really not delicious;

Introduction to the scenic spots around the lake in the Yunnan section in the morning:

Riga Island: A peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by green mountains on the left and right, and backed by Gum Goddess Mountain. It is picturesque. It looks best when the sun is good, and it is the most beautiful place in Lugu Lake. You can choose scenes and shoot on the way from the observation deck to Ligg Village.

Xiaoluoshui Village: A simple village in the Mosuo matriarchal society, with peaceful pastoral scenery and not many tourists.

Goddess Bay: It is a quiet small harbor opposite Gum Goddess Mountain, hence its name. This is the best angle to shoot the lake and the sacred mountain. In the evening, the sunset is red and the entire lake is covered with a warm color.

Lovers Beach:

(If you want to stay one more day in Lijiang, I suggest Shuhe Ancient Town + Ancient Tea Horse Road)

Shuhe Ancient Town, known as "Shaowu" in Naxi language, is formed by the spread and variation of the mountain shape behind the village. It means "the village under the peak". It is one of the earliest settlements of Naxi ancestors in Lijiang Bazi. It is an important well-preserved market town on the ancient tea-horse road. It is also a living specimen of the transition of Naxi ancestors from farming civilization to commercial civilization. It is a model of market town construction formed by opening up to the outside world and horse gang activities.

Entering Shuhe Village, you can go straight to the central market of Shuhe. Here you will have a feeling of déjà vu. This is a square similar to Sifang Street in the ancient city of Dayan Town. It covers an area of about 250 square meters. It is also known as Shuhe Sifang Street. It was extremely lively during the market days and was once a distribution place for fur trading in Lijiang. The square is surrounded by shops, with ancient wooden facades and dark red paint. There are also the black and bright bluestone in front of the store, the mottled stone slope road at your feet, and the elderly sitting leisurely, outlining the simple and natural nature of Shuhe River. Standing in the center of the square, you observe carefully. Sifang Street in Dayan Ancient City is completely a replica of Shuhe. The Naxi people have moved from nomadic to farming and then to the city. You can find some traces here. Walking 100 meters north along Shuhe Street, you will find the source of the stream,"Jiuding Longtan". The pool water is transparent and clear, and springs spring day and night. Shuhe people regard it as a divine spring, so Longquan Temple was built. The furnishings in the temple are no different from other temples in the ancient city. On the other hand, there is a "Three Saints Palace" pavilion on the edge of the source and the water. It is a traditional courtyard house where the founder of the cobbler is enshrined. Because it is the pride of Shuhe people, there are many skilled craftsmen who make leather here, and it is also an important fur distribution place.

Ancient town attractions:

Qinglong Bridge: Built in the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty, it has a history of more than 400 years. To the west is Jubao Mountain. The central axis of Qinglong Bridge is facing Jubao Mountain. This is the design of Mu's Tusi and is also the landmark of Mu's Tusi's period during its heyday. It is 25 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 4 meters high. It is all built of stones and is listed as the largest ancient stone bridge in Lijiang. The deck of Qinglong Bridge has been washed by hundreds of years of wind and rain, making it mottled and old, but without losing its heroic momentum and solemnity. Standing here, you may hear the sound of hooves echoing.

Sifang Street: The length and width are only more than 30 meters. There are four roads leading to all directions. Surrounded by water and the city is in mid-day. It is one of the oldest markets in Lijiang Bazi. In ancient times, there was a night market on Sifang Street in Shuhe. People walked freely on Sifang Street like today's urbanites. People visiting the night market held torches in their hands and walked along the banks of the Qinglong River, like fireflies on summer nights, becoming a scenery., called "Night Market Fireflies", is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Shuhe.

Longtan: Ancient trees stand tall at the foot of Longquan Mountain, and a piece of good water accumulates into the Jiuding Dragon Pool. The water in the pool is clear and crystal clear, the water and grass dance, and the fish are free. The Yulong Snow Mountain is reflected in it. It is clear and proud on the bank and has infinite artistic conception, becoming another of the eight scenic spots of Shuhe River. Scenery: Reflected by the snowy mountains. There is a truncated stele by the pool. Its age is no longer measurable. If you tap it with a stone, it will make a crisp sound. It is the "knocking sound of a broken stele" among the eight scenic spots of Shuhe River.

There is a temple at the upper end of Longtan, called the "Sansheng Palace". The west hall is dedicated to Guanyin, the north building is dedicated to the Dragon King, and the south building is dedicated to Sun Bin, the founder of the cobbler. The base of the East Tower directly enters the water, and there are corridors on three sides for tourists to lean on and overlook. Especially on the night of the moon, climbing the building to admire the moon has the most flavor. Scholars and literati often recite poems and paintings to the moon, which is passed down as a good story. This scene is called "Longmen Moon Moon" in the Eight Scenes of Shuhe River.

Tea Horse Ancient Road Museum: In 680 AD, Tubo marched south and established the "Shenchuan Dudu Mansion" in Lijiang. The ancient tea horse road began here: Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty banned tea from entering Tibet, promoting the entry of Yunnan tea into Tibet; the military needs of the Song Dynasty stimulated "The prosperity of tea-horse exchanges"; Therefore, from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties to modern times, the ancient tea horse road became a link for economic and cultural exchanges between Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan.

The ancient tea-horse road starts in southern Yunnan, passes through Dali, Lijiang, Diqing, and Lhasa, and ends in India. It runs through the "Three Parallel Rivers" and "Shangri-La" areas in western China, where the cultural customs and natural scenery are most charming. It attracts special attention. The Ancient Tea Horse Road Museum is the first museum in China to study and display the history and culture of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. It is also the first professional institution in Lijiang City engaged in the research, publicity and promotion of Pu 'er tea culture. The Tea Horse Ancient Road Museum consists of eight parts: "Preface Hall","History Hall 1","History Hall 2","Shuhe Hall","Cobbler Hall","Tea Horse Style Hall","Tea Art Hall", and "Impact Data Center". It systematically introduces the starting time, route and major historical events of the Tea Horse Ancient Road, and is an important window for people to understand the history and culture of the Tea Horse Ancient Road. The building of the museum was originally part of the "Shuhe Yuan" of Mu's Tusi more than 400 years ago. The "Dajue Palace Murals" are works by Ma Xiaoxian, a famous painter in the south of the Yangtze River. They have been preserved, with meticulous brushwork and superb skills, retaining the Tang Dynasty style. In 1998, it was listed as a provincial key protected unit.

Day 6: Lijiang → Kunming, live in Kunming

I slept until I woke up naturally, bought a gift for my companions, and took the afternoon train back to Kunming. In the evening, I visited Jinma Biji Square, the core business district of Kunming, and had dinner nearby (Pu 'er tea is recommended to buy at Kunming supermarkets, which is more reliable).

Jinma Biji Square: It is located at the junction of Sanshi Street and Jinbi Road in the center of Kunming City. It is 12 meters high and 18 meters wide. The carved beams and painted buildings are exquisite. The east square is adjacent to Jinma Mountain and is named Jinma Square. The west square is named Biji Square near Biji Mountain. It is a symbol of Kunming. Jinma Biji Square was built during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of nearly 400 years.

Day 7: Kunming, live in Kunming (one-day trip to Shilin)

Shilin + Jiuxiang (one-day trip, can be booked on Ctrip)

First, take a bus to the Shilin Scenic Area. After arriving at the scenic area, you will need to change the battery car in the scenic area to enter the scenic area. Then visit the Stone Forest, Jianfeng Pond, and Ashima Incarnation Stone, which takes about 2 hours, 30 minutes to 3 hours. After the tour, head to the restaurant for dinner.

In the afternoon, go to Jiuxiang Scenic Area (including downhill cableway, Yincui Canyon cruise ship, Jiuxiang mainly visits underground karst caves).

Jiuxiang is the location of the movie "Myth").

The karst cave, groundwater, and male and female waterfalls are all very shocking.

The karst caves in Guilin are strange rocks, and the karst caves in Jiuxiang are strange underground rivers. The tour takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. You need to take a cable car for two people to go down the mountain. Then I took a bus back to Kunming.

Day 8: Kunming → Shanghai

On the last morning, if you have bought all the accompanying gifts, you can find another attraction to play. In addition to the attractions already introduced before, there are the following:

Kunming Attractions Introduction 2:

Niuhu Bronze Case: Unearthed in 1972 at Tomb No. 24 in Lijiashan, Jiangchuan, Yunnan Province. It is 43 cm high, 76 cm long and 36 cm wide. The period is the Warring States Period. The main body of the vessel is a large cow. The cow is standing, its back naturally falls to form a table, and the tail is decorated with a reduced proportion tiger. The tiger opens its mouth to bite the cow's tail; the large cow is hollow under its belly and a calf is decorated horizontally. The tool is cast with a mold. The big cow and the small tiger are formed at one time, while the small cow is cast separately and then welded. The ox and tiger bronze table is a sacrificial vessel of the ancient Dian nationality. Its shape integrates ox and tiger, which is very unique. From the perspective of aesthetic value, the intention is unique, the imagination is quite rich, the size and proportion are appropriate, and the shape is shaped by a combination of dynamic and dynamic. Analyzed from the principle of mechanics, the tiger adorns the tail of the bull, and the tiger's hind legs push against the hind legs of the bull, causing the center of gravity of the object to shift significantly backward. Then a calf is welded under the belly of the bull to increase the gravity of the object itself. The problem that the lower plate of the object is slightly frivolous and unstable due to its pursuit of beauty and strangeness has also been solved.
