This is a late travel note. It's not that I procrastinate, but that I went to Fukuoka (Kitakyushu) in July. After I came back, I first compiled the travel note on Fukuoka, and then prepared the preparations for my trip to Hokkaido in February. I didn't move for a while. Recently, I had time. I completed the writing.

I haven't figured out where to go during the winter vacation? Until one day I met a primary school classmate and learned that they were visiting Kunming and Chengdu from February 15 to 22. I didn't think much about it at that time. I just randomly checked the ticket at night and found that the morning flight from Beijing to Kunming was 7:00, and the price was acceptable. I moved quickly and booked the ticket first. The next morning I took the time to tell my primary school classmate that I wanted to travel with her. I had booked a ticket from Beijing-Kunming, and it was the same flight. I asked her to take me on a trip with her. The expression of my classmates was invisible. It was true that she couldn't speak for a long time. Nothing mattered anymore. I decided to follow her. While chatting and asking about the itinerary, the students just

I imagined the approximate itinerary from Beijing to Kunming to Dali to Lijiang to Lugu Lake to Lijiang to Chengdu, and booked an air ticket from Lijiang to Chengdu on the 20th and a high-speed rail ticket from Chengdu to Beijing on the 22nd. The hotel did not make a reservation. Whatever you want to go, you can go with the times. It doesn't matter, I will follow her anyway, just be company. I didn't book a plane ticket from Lijiang to Chengdu or a high-speed rail ticket from Chengdu to Beijing. The reason is simple. I just took my son to Chengdu during the summer vacation, and I also had classmates to visit relatives 'homes. I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to follow. I only booked a one-way ticket from Beijing to Kunming before departure.

February 15, Beijing--Kunming Haigeng Park

We set off. My wife took us to Beijing Capital Airport T2, where we waited for the flight at the airport and met with the team leader.(Primary school students, I will be called the team leader from now on) The plane took off and landed on time. The team leader told me to live near the railway station after arriving in Kunming today, so that it would be convenient to leave for Dali tomorrow morning. There was no problem. I firmly obeyed the command and arrived at Kunming Changshui Airport. After taking Airport Bus Line 2 to Jinjiang Hotel. After getting off the bus, I found a place to eat first. I ate at Fuman Building, which is nearby next to Jinjiang Hotel. During dinner, the team leader searched nearby hotels and finally chose Kunming Pengbo Business Hotel. We discussed and determined the train time from Kunming to Dali the next day. After dinner, we walked to Kunming Pengbo Business Hotel, which is the alighting point of Airport Express Line No. 2 (towards the train station). Go straight for two minutes to the hotel. The biggest advantage of the hotel is that it is close to the train station and close to the pick-up and alighting point of Airport Bus Line 2. It is about 3 minutes 'walk. The hotel is relatively old, the room hygiene is average, the carpet does not look clean, and the bathroom is small. Although it is equipped with toiletries, But it was basically unusable. The water in the sink was very small, the towels were old and a little broken, and bottled water was not provided. There are many restaurants, supermarkets, etc. around the hotel, as well as many specialties. You can see the train station right away, which is very convenient to get to the train station. Arrive at the hotel to check in, store your luggage, take a short rest, go to the bus stop next to the train station, take a bus to Haigeng Park to watch red-billed gulls. Red-billed gulls in Kunming fly here in droves from the far north for the winter in November of the first year, and fly back again in March of the following year. Every year, without interruption. Where do the red-billed gulls in Kunming come from? They are said to come from Lake Ubusu in the Republic of Mongolia, Lake Kyrgyzstan in the southern region of Lake Baikal in Russia and Bosten Lake Basin in Xinjiang. Kunming's Cuihu Park and Haigeng Park are the best places to watch red-billed gulls. Watching gulls on Cuihu and Haigeng has become one of the most popular landscapes in Kunming. Feeding seagulls in Haigeng Park, separating from my classmates and family, taking a bus back to the city to meet with old friends whom I haven't seen for many years and have a meal. After dinner, I stroll to the train station to collect tickets and rest.

February 16 Kunming--Dali Ride an electric bike to visit the ancient city of Dali in Erhai

Check out early and go to Kunming Railway Station and take the bullet train. It takes about 2 hours to reach Dali Station. It's really fast now. Back then, Kunming needed to take the train overnight to Dali. On the bus, the team leader booked a long holiday in the ancient city of Dali-Huayu Bieyuan. The team leader said that it was because it was close to the ancient city. This inn is near the south gate of the ancient city of Dali. It is very close to the ancient city. It is relatively convenient to eat around and rent a car. The B & B has a garden-style courtyard with flowers and plants. It is beautifully decorated. The room is clean, tidy, and big and spacious. There are hanging chairs at the door of the room. There is no need to check out for ward rounds and free mineral water is provided. The whole B & B environment is good. Two points to note. There are two B & Bs. Be sure to be careful about which one is booking (both are owned by the same owner). If you book a B & B, you can enjoy a discount on the train station fare (a one-way taxi from the train station to the B & B is 60 yuan, and the pick up station is 30 yuan, but the drop-off station is 60 yuan, the original price). The journey time is about 40 minutes to reach the inn. After check-in, go to the Internet celebrity restaurant recommended by the innkeeper for dinner, and go to the roadside rental electric car to rent an electric car and tour the Erhai Lake after dinner. Riding an electric bike to tour the Erhai Lake is a new activity in the Erhai Lake in recent years. Electric bikes are rented on the streets of the ancient city. The advantage of riding an electric bike is that it is relatively casual. When you see the beautiful scenery, you can park the car. The disadvantage is that the power of an electric bike cannot support a run. A circle around the Erhai Lake is about 140 kilometers. The electric bike needs to be charged at least two or three times, so riding an electric bike around the Erhai Lake will be divided into two days. The route around the sea starting from the ancient city can be divided into Huanhai West Road and Huanhai East Road. The must-see attractions are Butterfly Spring, Shuanglang, Qose, Xizhou, Nanzhao Style Island, Xiaoputuo, Yuji Island, Jinsuo Island, Haishue Park, Zhoucheng, Dali Three Towers, etc. According to the location of the hotel and B & B you live in, you need to pay attention to three points when renting a car. First, you must take good care of the appearance of the vehicle when picking up the car. You must check it clearly to see if there are any bumps or scratches to avoid trouble when returning the car. Take a photo of the car so that you can distinguish it when returning the car. Second, you must ask about the vehicle's endurance and don't listen to the merchants 'one-sided words. Third, don't use your ID card to rent a car. Everyone knows this. While riding, I found that many places in the Erhai Lake were being demolished and illegally built. Some roads were in bad condition. The team leader's idea was to ride the Erhai Lake in two and a half days. Seeing this situation, he could only return here and gave up tomorrow morning. The idea of riding the Erhai Lake was changed to set off for Lijiang tomorrow morning, and finally returned. At night, I ate Apo's ribs. The business was booming and the taste was average. No photos were taken.

February 17 Dali--Lijiang Ancient City

Take the inn car (I made an appointment with the innkeeper one day in advance) It will be delivered to Dali Railway Station, and it takes about 2 and a half hours by train to Lijiang Railway Station. There is a bus to Lijiang Ancient City right after the exit. The bus is very dense, and the journey time is about 30 minutes. Get off the bus at the petroleum company, and then walk downhill for about 3 minutes to reach Lijiang Ancient City Xiyu Bieyuan Inn. This B & B is not located in the center of Lijiang Ancient City. The location is a bit out of the corner. The advantage is that it is relatively clean at night, the room is relatively large and clean. The toiletries provided are almost unusable. There are hot water bottles, water purifiers and electric blankets. There is a platform on the roof where you can take photos. On good weather, you can see the Yulong Snow Mountain. Need to remind everyone that if you take a taxi to the inn, you also have to go to the oil company. There are also two places in the inn, so you can clearly see the location and place an order. What felt bad was that when I entered the inn, I didn't do anything or see anything, I just asked for good reviews, and then I started checking in. Only then did I know how the good reviews came from. Make free check-in arrangements, visit the ancient city, and go to the stone pot fish at Zhongyi Market for dinner and taste the mushroom pot.

February 18 Lijiang--Lugu Lake--Lijiang Two-day Tour

This is the first day of a two-day tour of Lugu Lake in Lijiang, Yunnan Province booked online by the team leader; attractions include Caohai, Wedding Bridge, Luyuan Cliff, Lovers Tree + Boating Lake Tour (Check-in Dear Inn)+ Mosuo Traditional Bonfire Gala.



















February 19 Lugu Lake Lijiang

Day 2 of the itinerary, Rigge Island, Lovers Beach + Daluoshui Lugu Lake Rigge Observation Deck

Maybe there are fewer tourists during the Lantern Festival and we have more people. We form independent groups, which is equivalent to chartered tours. This group itinerary is okay. You can basically visit the scenic spots from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, and the food is average and acceptable. The accommodation conditions are average, but they all have lake views and are within walking distance to the lake.

Return to Lijiang in the evening and stay directly at Home Inn Lijiang Ancient City South Gate Hotel and Home Inn Lijiang Ancient City South Gate Hotel. The hotel decoration style is unified across the country, the rooms are clean and tidy, 2 bottles of free mineral water, and disposable paper cups for drinking gargling are provided. There is also a free market (I don't know what it is called) next to the hotel. There are flowers, dried flowers, bonsai, and local specialty shops. The prices are relatively reasonable. Parking can be parked on the roadside of the hotel and in the courtyard. It is more convenient if you drive yourself. This hotel was chosen mainly because it was convenient to travel to Yulong Snow Mountain the next morning (The team leader booked a one-day trip to the Yulong Snow Mountain online, including round-trip transportation from the Urban area of Lijiang to the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, a large cableway ticket for the Glacier Park, and a ticket for the scenic area's environmental protection. The meeting place is at KFC, 5596 Commercial Street, Xianghe Road, Ancient City of Lijiang (next to the Intercontinental Hotel). The Home Inn Express South Gate Hotel in Lijiang Ancient City is located in the small alley diagonally opposite KFC. It is very close, 3 minutes 'walk away, and breakfast can be served in KFC. In fact, no matter which travel agency you sign up for, you will take the shuttle bus from Lijiang Tourism Group to the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area here. There are many types of Yulong Snow Mountain ticket tickets, such as those with meals and impressions of Lijiang. You can make your own choice. Why didn't we choose the one with an impression of Lijiang? The customer service said that the weather forecast said that there would be rain and snow tomorrow, and the performance might be cancelled. The performance would be cancelled and the fee would be refunded. We were afraid of trouble and directly chose the ticket package with the large cableway. To put it another way, the big ticket for Yulong Snow Mountain is purchased at the entrance of the scenic area yourself. It is under real-name system. After you book a one-day trip to Yulong Snow Mountain successfully, you will receive a confirmation text message, including the boarding place, time, shuttle number, contact number, etc. I had dinner at Yun Xueli next to KFC, 5596 Commercial Street, Xianghe Road, Ancient City of Lijiang, and continued to visit the ancient city after dinner.

February 20 Yulong Snow Mountain

I heard raindrops at night, and it rained! Rain won't have any effect on climbing the Yulong Snow Mountain, will it? When I woke up in the morning, it was cloudy and accompanied by light rain. I was full of questions about my trip to the Yulong Snow Mountain?

In the morning, go to KFC opposite the hotel for breakfast, and wait here for the shuttle bus to Yulong Snow Mountain. It leaves on time at 8 a.m.. and stop at the ancient town of Yuhe. When we arrive at the gate of Yulong Snow Mountain, staff will get on the bus to facilitate tourists to purchase tickets for Yulong Snow Mountain. WeChat, Alipay, and cash are available. Then go to the Snow Mountain Service Center at the foot of the mountain for everyone to buy oxygen bottles and rent coats. Finally, we arrive at the Visitor Center (Glacier Park) of Yulong Snow Mountain. The whole journey is about 50 minutes. In the parking lot, the driver added everyone's WeChat account and told everyone the car number and the return time. The drop-off point was the boarding point. Then, he issued a large cableway ticket, marked with the queuing time for the large cableway. We are 12 o'clock. Basically, you can queue up one hour in advance according to this time (it also depends on the number of people queuing that day). You can't get on the cable car if you arrive early, but you can't reach the first ticket gate of the large cableway cable car in advance. I first took the shuttle bus from the scenic area to the Blue Moon Valley. At this time, the rain was already rain and snow, and it was getting heavier and heavier. It was almost time to return to the visitor center and wait in line. It took about 30 minutes to enter the No. 3 waiting hall. Coincidentally, at this time, the loudspeaker in the hall sounded, announcing that the road to the Grand Cableway Cable Car Station (3356) had been completely closed due to heavy snow (From the tourist center to the large cableway cable car station, you need to take the scenic area's eco-friendly car to drive for about 15 minutes. Both are winding mountains. For safety reasons, tourists are stopped going up the mountain). It was really disappointing. I left waiting hall No. 3 and went to the counter at the visitor center to go through the refund process. However, the processing time was relatively long. The main reason was that there were fewer staff and many tourists. I had to write the name, phone number, ID number, price, etc. by hand. The money was returned the same way. The Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area did a very good job. Even the big ticket to enter the mountain was refunded together. Return to the parking lot and take the one-day shuttle back. At this time, the ancient city of Lijiang was also raining and snowy, and we still had dinner in Yunxueli. During dinner, I discussed with my son whether to go to the Tiger Leaping Gorge the next day (I have booked the shuttle bus from Lijiang Transportation Group to return from 8:30 a.m. to 16:00 p.m.) or come again to the Yulong Snow Mountain. My son said that he would climb to the top of the 4680 summit. Okay, no problem, continue to buy the ticket online (Yulong Snow Mountain ticket + round-trip transportation bus). After dinner, they bid farewell to the team leader. They went to Dashuichang and took the shuttle bus from Lijiang Airport to the hotel near Lijiang Airport. They flew to Chengdu the next morning. We returned to Lijiang Ancient City Home Inn South Gate for another night.

February 21, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lijiang--Kunming

I still go to KFC for breakfast in the morning and take the shuttle bus to Yulong Snow Mountain. Today's weather is strong, with clear skies and the itinerary is the same. The only difference is that the time to take the cable car is 10; 00. It took about an hour and a half to queue up at two cable cars (one was the tourist center and the other was the 3356 cable car station). Take the cable car from 3356 to 4506. Unfortunately, yesterday's heavy snow will completely cover the road to 4680. It has not been cleared and closed. Leave some regrets. Go down the mountain with the cable car, visit Lanyue Valley, Ganhaizi and other scenic spots again, and return to the parking lot at the point and take the shuttle bus back to the Urban area. Eat near the hotel, pick up your luggage and head to Lijiang Railway Station, and take the night train K9688 back to Kunming. By the way, train K9688, I booked a soft bag for one person, which can sleep three people. It is very quiet and suitable for a family. While waiting for the train, I booked the K366 train from Kunming to Shilin. Visiting Shilin was a temporary uprising, which was seen by my son.

The tourist attraction poster in Shilin asked me if we were here? If you want to see it, you can leave. There is a bullet train from Kunming to Shilin. Although it is fast, it starts from Kunming south. K9688 arrives at Kunming Station. Kunming Station needs to transfer to Kunming South. After a total of time, K366 was selected. The departure time of K366 and the arrival time of K9688 are similar. It is just enough to store luggage and have breakfast.

February 22, Jiuxiang Shilin

Arrive at Kunming Station at 06:30 in the morning. You can find the luggage deposit office in the station. During the day, one piece costs 8 yuan. Yonghe King next to the deposit office has breakfast, and then progress to ride 7. K366 at 30 went to Stone Forest and arrived at Shilin Station for about an hour and a half. I wanted to ask how to get to the Stone Forest scenic spot. I didn't expect that when I left the station, a girl dressed in national costume stood in front of a bus and loudly advertised that it was a regular bus to the Stone Forest scenic spot, 10 yuan per person, leaving right away. I really started right away. Only after inquiry did I know that the shuttle bus was provided by the Stone Forest scenic spot. There are both in Shilin Station and Shilinxi (high-speed railway station). There is only a train coming to the station. The train leaves as soon as it leaves, but there is no delivery to the station. On board, the tour guide of the Stone Forest scenic spot has been promoting a shuttle bus from Stone Forest to Jiuxiang, which is located in Yi Hui Township, Jiuxiang, Yiliang County, 90 kilometers away from Kunming and 47 kilometers away from Yiliang County. The scenic area is dominated by cave landscape, which is famous for its six wonders. Jiuxiang karst cave has hundreds of large and small karst caves, which is the largest in China, the largest in number and the most peculiar cave community system in karst cave landscape. it is praised by experts as karst cave museum in Jiuxiang scenic spot. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the bus stop of Stone Forest Scenic spot. After thinking about it, I decided to take my son for a walk around the Stone Forest Scenic spot-Jiuxiang Scenic spot, Business 7 by bus, 50 to and from one person, the journey time is about 30 minutes, and the play time is about 3 hours. The ticket to the Jiuxiang Scenic spot is 90 yuan, and the cableway is 30 yuan. After a trip to Stone Forest, I went back to the Stone Forest scenic spot to buy tickets after dinner. when I was ready to enter the park, there was a local private guide entangled and asked for an explanation, but I didn't get rid of it (which was supposed to be invited). The price is acceptable for more than 2 hours. From beginning to end. That's a good explanation, though it's a routine. From Stone Forest to Stone Forest bus station, take the shuttle back to Kunming, it will take about an hour and a half to arrive at the eastern Kunming passenger station. You must remember that the last bus from the gate of the Stone Forest scenic spot to the eastern Kunming passenger station is 1800. Getting off and leaving the station happens to be the C73 direct bus to Kunming station (also the last bus, which should be waiting for the last bus from Stone Forest to arrive). It seems to arrive at the bus terminal next to Kunming station in an hour. After getting off, I originally wanted to go to Kunming station to pick up my luggage before staying at Jinjiang Hotel (convenient to take the airport bus the next day), but my son was tired and didn't want to go very much. As a result, I looked up and saw the neon sign of Grace Select Hotel, right next to the railway station (bus station), a 3-minute walk. After searching Ctrip, I found that the hotel was very new. It opened in 2018. The front desk of the hotel is on the first floor, and there is a special rest area. The guest room is on the 21th floor. The restaurant is also on the 21st floor. Breakfast is rich. There are three kinds of fruits, four kinds of hot drinks, Chinese fried dishes, steamed bread and gruel. Rice noodles, wonton, Western-style bread, jam and cheese. Because it is a new hotel, the facilities are well-equipped, the room is clean and sanitary, and the room is very large, in addition to two 1.2 single beds (the bed is soft and stiff, the comfort is very good), there are two sleeping beds and the bathroom is dry and wet separate. free mineral water is provided in the room and in the elevator room. I booked an air ticket to Kunming to Beijing in the evening.
