Although I have forgotten why I chose to go to Yunnan at that time, during the peak summer vacation travel period.
However, if you think about it now, it is really a good choice. While you are young, you can make more trouble.

I should have returned home on the 11th, but I encountered a major typhoon in Shanghai and had no choice but to stay for another night.

Set off for Yunnan

A simple tripod with a mobile phone camera's self-timer lens and a pad that I don't know why I had to bring did not come in handy in the end.

CASTA's latte is really not good to drink. I can't help it. I get up early in the morning to pack up and go out without some caffeine. I really can't hold on.

China Eastern Airlines 'flight meals are simple and simple, and there is no problem to fill your stomach.

We booked a connecting flight from Shanghai to Nanchong and stayed at Nanchong Airport for about 30 minutes. It's a really small airport, more like a train station.

The flight attendant will issue this boarding pass as a certificate to board the plane and transfer.

I'm ready to get on the plane. There's Buy Zhouhei Duck outside Nanchong Airport. I regret not buying it. I'm afraid that I don't have enough time and miss the flight. I hesitate. In the end, I really don't have enough time to buy it. The family sitting in the back seat of us made a quick decision and started chewing on the duck neck on the plane. I was a little envious.

The small surprise is that the plane also prepared afternoon tea? Meixin's snacks will cushion your hunger.

Kunming-A quick glance

At about 14:30 p.m., I arrived in Kunming. It seemed that it had just rained, and the air was a little wet. It is said that July and August are also the rainy season in Yunnan. Fortunately, I made preparations in advance and did not open my umbrella and shoe covers. Although I did encounter heavy rain and light rain during the journey, they all belonged to the type of showers, which came quickly and went quickly.

Kunming Airport is still very distinctive. It is full of murals. Give Wu Xiansen two.

The children's luggage cart at the airport is very interesting. Children can sit in the front and put their luggage in the back.

In Kunming, we only have an afternoon trip and have to catch a train to Dali at 9 p.m. If you have prepared the strategy in advance, let's go to the railway station to explore the way first. There is an airport shuttle to the train station as soon as you exit the airport.

Colorful Yunnan welcomes you to start our beautiful journey.

After getting off the bus, I asked about it. There was a luggage storage service at the station near the train station, so I rushed there immediately. I would store all the big and small bags first, and then I would have a bowl of crossing the bridge rice noodles. It was perfect.

Steamed pot chicken. He had originally planned to go to popular restaurants to eat steamed pot chicken at night, but later, due to time constraints, he missed it.

The rice noodles with flower petals are put in one by one and can be eaten after being stewed for a while. For people like us who like to eat soup and water, it is simply delicious in the world.

After eating, walk to Cuihu Park. It's not very far and easy to find.

The little squirrels in Cuihu Park are not afraid of strangers at all. They scurry around, climbing trees sometimes, and running around on the grass sometimes.

The lotus pond in the park is also about to open, very beautiful.

I asked an aunt to help me take a photo.

I accidentally saw the marshmallow, but I still used a very old machine to make it. It's just like the taste of childhood. Don't use pigments, just have a pure soft marshmallow.

A concert by local residents and listened to them for a while. Different cities really taste different cities, and parks are also a manifestation of culture. It is obvious that Cuihu is still very different from Shanghai's parks.

In addition to marshmallows, this was also found.

Opposite Cuihu Park is Yunnan University. It's early to go in and have a stroll. The security guard didn't stop us.

The sky also darkened, so I hurriedly took a few pictures, and thin rain fell down and soaked my hair.

When I saw the basketball court, I couldn't help but want to take a photo. Although the focus was misaligned and it was blurred, it was still a group photo that I liked very, very much, making up for the student years Wu Xiansen and I missed.

After visiting Yunnan University, it was already past seven o'clock. I wanted to take a taxi back to the bus station to pick up my luggage. Maybe because of the rain, there were no taxis or taxis nearby. I had no choice but to speed up and walk back. It was indeed a little late, which resulted in no time to go to the restaurant where the delicious steaming chicken was originally ordered.

Wu Xiansen hurriedly bought some food and rushed to the train station.

This is also the first time I have taken a soft sleeper train. The Harmony has no concept of soft sleeper.

It's better than I expected, one cubicle, four beds, and you can close the door.

It's very clean and a very interesting memory.

I originally thought I didn't know what kind of people I would meet. After all, I had to spend 7 hours in the carriage together. I never expected such an interesting pair of Dalian sisters to come in. It was very interesting to go to Dali to play together. They kept laughing and laughing all night. Later, they talked about it and they were worried for a long time and didn't know what kind of people they lived with.

So isn't travel just like this? So much uncertainty makes each other intersect at all.

Wu Xiansen's soft snoring was already heard from the upper bunk, but I really didn't sleep much all night. The rumbling sound of the railway was too loud. Seeing the occasional light of her mobile phone in the lower bunk across the street, it seemed that she didn't sleep all night.

Dali Erhai Lake-The Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon

At around 6 o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at the station, and the Dalian sisters booked a B & B in Dali Ancient Town and also made transportation strategies. We shamelessly went to the B & B with them and stored our luggage.

The ancient city of Dali at 7 a.m. is very quiet and few people.

After storing our luggage and simply saying thanks and goodbyes, we separated.

Let's find a place to settle the breakfast first and have some rice noodles and small dumplings.

There are many such bright murals in the ancient town.

Dog, why are you staring at me like that?

The shop owner is also very casual, a Buddhist shop owner.

The vegetable market in the ancient city began to become lively.

The weather was not beautiful, and it began to rain again. This was also the biggest and longest rain of this trip.

We hurriedly settled lunch at Dexos (the place with the yellow lights in the upper left corner of the picture below).
Wu Xiansen: "The chicken wings here taste like boiled fish. Try them."
Me: "Well, it's delicious. This is not Sichuan. Why does it taste like boiled fish?"
Wu: "... Is it like boiled fish? It's actually just ordinary chicken wings."
Me: "...“

But it really tastes like boiled fish. What's going on?

Thinking that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, I'd better take my luggage and go to Erhai Lake earlier so that I could take a nap. After all, I really couldn't sleep well on the train all night.

I called a small car and drove to the Erhai Double Corridor. I also bought two cakes on the way to taste it.

I stayed in Erhai for a total of two nights, both in Lanting Courtyard. The first night was an ordinary room. The room price of 230 was really unbeatable. It was very big and the bed was very comfortable.

Simple and clean.

There is no room key, only a key. Isn't it very special?

The rose at the door looks so beautiful in the rainy day.

The bougainvillea in the corner is already in full bloom, giving people the illusion of being in Southeast Asia.

In the rainy Erhai Lake, the thick cloud system has covered the top of Cangshan Mountain.

Self-timer technology is limited, and it is relatively dark, so you can only take a casual look.

By the way, I'll get rid of the yogurt I bought last night. I'm just free anyway.

The rain also stopped at night, so I was ready to go out for food.
There are still many places to eat in Shuanglang, and there are also many group purchases. Just find a place that matches your eye.

With the wind and snow and three dishes and one soup, two people are enough.

On the way back to the B & B, I passed by a very lovely B & B.

At night, I was still worried about whether the rain would affect the good weather the next day. When I woke up in the morning, I found that I was completely overworried.
I booked a bus to go to Xizhou. Today's itinerary is Xizhou, Haijiao and Erhai Lake. The time is tight, but fortunately the day is long enough.

Passing by this place, the driver said that it was a good place to take pictures and drove us all down. Okay, let's set up a small tripod to take a picture.

The buildings in Xizhou are still very distinctive and relatively pure natural. Compared with Dali and Shuanglang, there is not so much commercial atmosphere.

The linen dyed by the local people is very beautiful in color.

The Yan family compound requires tickets to enter. Time is tight, so there is no special feature to watch.

The weather was surprisingly good, the wind was gentle and the sun was beautiful, and the whole thing was like an oil painting.

White walls, local houses are basically white.

Walking to the edge of Xizhou, I met a friend who was driving on a road trip here. We had a brief chat. It turned out that their next stop would be Haitang Park, and they warmly invited us to take a taxi together. In fact, we are really worried about how to get to Haitang later. After all, there is a certain distance from the place to hail a taxi.

I am really grateful to these lovely people I met on my journey.

By the time we arrived at Haitang, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning. The sun was very strong and very hot, really hot. Wu Xiansen is already about to be oily from the sun.

Landmark of the sea tongue.
It looks like a tongue that stretches out into the Erhai Lake, so it is named Haiyue. If the water of the Erhai Lake comes at high tide, the water of the Erhai Lake will not cross the tongue, and it will be even better to take pictures at this time.

I accidentally pressed one because I wanted to test whether the remote control would work well.

Haishue Park is not big, but it is too hot and sunburn. We really can't stay outdoors for a long time. After shopping around, we still plan to go back to Xizhou for lunch.

I bought a piece of roasted tofu on the roadside, which actually tastes like dried bean curd.

This shop is very interesting. Its dishes are served one table after another. The snail lion meat is not bad, but it is not bad to serve.

After eating, I saw the Xizhou Baba across the street. I couldn't eat it anymore, so I didn't buy it.

It was already noon when I returned to the B & B. It was too hot and a little tired, so I changed the room.

Dengdeng ~ Authentic sea view room.

Outside the balcony is the Erhai Lake. I like the interior very much and there is also a large Jacuzzi.

I also like this color matching very much. It has a very ethnic feeling.

Wu Xiansen insisted on taking a nap and taking a nap before setting out.

There is a place to rent battery cars at the entrance of Shuanglong Corridor. In the afternoon, there are not many cars to choose from, so you can pick one at random and get on the road.

There are many such Erhai boundary piles along the way.

As well as many such small boats that seem to have been abandoned, the advantage of small battery cars is that they can park whenever they want.

Passing by a lotus pond, it was so beautiful.

We ran into sheep grazing, baa, and just on the road around the sea until Lugu Lake, we discovered that this was the most normal thing.

Doesn't it look like children in line, playing and playing?

Give a close-up of the small battery car and accompany us all the way.

The terminal station, Xiao Putuo, is quietly located in the Erhai Lake.

It's getting late, and it's time to rush back.

This platform is good for taking pictures, but it really stinks. I don't know if it's getting better now. It smells like leftovers.

Wu Xiansen, who many people say is extremely stiff, is a little afraid of heights. He is a little afraid.

But taking pictures is really nice.

After taking photos and quietly admiring the burning clouds, many tourists stopped and stopped.

I booked the next day at the hotel to watch the sunrise and the Nanyang style island. The boat was at the pick-up gate outside the hotel early in the morning (I don't know what to call this place. It can't be called a dock. After all, it's just a few steps to the Erhai Lake.)

You can still see the moon in the sky when you go out, half day and half night.

The sky is slowly getting light, and there are more ships on the Erhai Lake.

The sun also slowly looked forward.

Forgive us for our limited photography skills at that time, but a good sunrise was photographed like this...

Nanyang Style Island is a small island located in the Erhai Lake. I think it is more like a park in the sea.

The Nanyang Style Island is not big. It takes an hour to visit it. The boatman is already waiting at the place where we disembarked.
Back at the B & B, I packed up and was about to leave for Lijiang.

Some photos of the room.

After tidying up the suitcase and seeing that there is still some time, I can finish lunch at the corner of a certain path in Shuanglang. This bowl of shredded chicken cold noodles is really the best shredded chicken cold noodles I have eaten so far. It is an unknown shop with few seats. We solved it on a small square bench on the roadside, but we didn't expect it to be so delicious!

Before leaving, Wu Xiansen insisted on taking a photo with the small battery to make up for the regret that he didn't choose the car he wanted yesterday. Did you see the big construction site behind him? That's right, it's a double corridor entrance. It's an unsightly mess of concrete, steel bars, dust.

Lugu Lake-blue-green water

The boarding point is right at the entrance of the Shuanglong Corridor. I have forgotten how long it has been driving. I'm really sorry to everyone. This travel note doesn't seem to be of much help to everyone. The drop-off point is Lijiang Yigao, so you need to take a taxi to Lijiang Ancient Town.

When I planned to stay in Lijiang, I would only stay for two nights. I had to take a bus to Lugu Lake early the next morning, so I booked a hotel with a relatively high value for money, but I didn't expect it to be so cost-effective. The room cost about 200 yuan. Very big and clean.

From the roof, you can also overlook the entire ancient city and the Yulong Snow Mountain.

It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon after putting away my things. After chatting with the innkeeper about the recommended delicacies, we were on our way. Thanks to the long daytime, even if we left at four o'clock, there was still a lot to see.

It's really a moment of Lijiang Xiaoqian that is played everywhere. It's commercial, but it's indeed commercial. The shops along the street are Datong and Xiaoyi, and there are shops similar to small commodity souvenirs a few doors away.

Mufu also requires tickets and is not very interested in this.

According to the owner of the B & B, dinner was settled in Laodaofang. There was no big facade or luxurious decoration. There was just a good taste, so that on the last day, I even came to eat pork ribs hot pot. The pork ribs were a little salty.

I ordered the special Black Mountain Sheep Hotpot. The goat meat was very tender and sufficient.

At this time, everyone may be eating in the restaurant, and there are not many people on the road.

After a night's rest, we set off for Lugu Lake early the next morning. Before the Lugu Lake Airport was open, we needed to take a 7-hour bus ride and drive there.

So, have you seen Lijiang at 6 a.m.? It's unbelievably quiet.

The driver will stop a few times halfway to let everyone rest and use the toilet.

I didn't even dare to drink water because I knew that this toilet was really, really difficult to access. Every time Wu Xiansen finished going to the toilet, I asked him how the toilet was? The answer I get is basically "You better not go on."

Along the mountain road, the driver suddenly stopped the car. I thought something had happened. It turned out that we were at the place to see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake.

When I first saw Lugu Lake, I couldn't help but sigh,"Oh my God, what a fairyland on earth is this!!!"

I felt it was worth the bumpy journey and the 7-hour drive.

Living in a city, I have never seen such a scenery.

The car will take you to the hotel you booked. We didn't choose the Rigg Peninsula. First, it was too lively and actually a bit incompatible with the cleanliness of Lugu Lake. Of course, the price is also a major factor to consider.

Zizhalan is newly opened in this land that has not yet been commercialized.

I specially asked the hotel to help decorate the honeymoon room, although it was not the honeymoon period.

Thank you, the handwritten note is still there today.

The room was large, with comfortable bedding, sofa and wine.

Not to mention Yunnan, do you think you are in Southeast Asia?

The hotel can provide meals. The chef is a handsome Sichuan guy who needs to go to the kitchen to order his own food. Since vegetables need to be shipped, there is no fixed menu, just whatever you want.

The Wuciligge branch is still being built next to the hotel and there is also a swimming pool.

It's not very lively here, and it's not so easy to rent a battery car. I asked the hotel attendant and found a nearby one that requires an ID card. The owner is very, very kind and just needs to return the car before 9 p.m. There are also very few styles to choose from. They are all serious battery cars. They have nothing to do with Xiao Qingxin. They can be said to be very hard-core!

At Lover Cliff, many people took photos, so they chose one side by side to make it more peaceful.

Colorful prayer flags can be seen everywhere.

I ran into a friend carrying a 5D3 and riding a bicycle around Lugu Lake, and lent it to Wu Xiansen for a pose.

Finally, I took a group photo and didn't dare to think about riding a bicycle around the lake. After all, we were really tired from using the battery car.

That day was actually very thrilling, but looking back now, it is also a very unique memory.

We planned to go around the lake to Ligg that day, and then return to the hotel to return the car after dinner.
I didn't expect to forget the time when taking photos on the way. It was almost dark by the time I arrived in Rigg. Rigg's "Nine-Company Hairpins Bend" scared us a little when we drove a battery car for the first time. We drove carefully. It was already night after dinner and returned home. I sat in the back seat to guide Wu Xiansen. The mountain road is difficult to drive, with twists and turns and big trucks. Without the sun, it was still very cold at night. I was very anxious. The time to return the car was over, and I didn't dare to drive fast. After all, safety came first.

When we were almost at the place to return the car, it was already 22 o'clock. When we saw the uncle waiting for us on the road, we didn't blame us. The first thing he said was,"Is everything okay? I thought something had happened, and I was worried to death."

The stars were beautiful that night and the people were very kind.

20:00 Sunset on Lugu Lake.

The next day, I went to Uncle's place to rent a battery car and walked through the remaining points. Because I had already reached Ligg the day before, I didn't stop again in the first half of the day. I just took the Xiashuchao boat in the water and went to the center of Lugu Lake.

The water of Lugu Lake is very blue and beautiful.

Water poplar flowers can be used for cooking and are scattered a lot on Lugu Lake.

There is an additional charge for disembarking. It seems that it is 20 per person. In the end, I bargain with my friends on the same boat. I can't remember the exact amount. The pig trough boat will go to an island in the lake and visit the island by the way.

There are no permanent residents on the island.

There are also five-color prayer flags here.

There are also listings for wishes.

Back on the boat, the boatman's son's bracelet came loose, so I helped him tie it, but his hands were clumsy and it took several times to get it done.

Give me a smile back.

In fact, the two are still very similar. My father asked him to help with rowing. At first, he was still playing, but then he really got serious.

Back at Shuishui Village, I had a simple lunch and set off on the road. The weather began to turn cloudy. You could see many people selling maca along the way. I don't know if they were real or not.

There is a viewing deck here where you can see the Rigg Peninsula. The small Rigg Peninsula is occupied by B & Bs and restaurants.

Further on, we reach the Lovers Tree. The Lovers Tree is like two lovers standing on the bank of Lugu Lake. It is very quiet here. The one on the left has just been struck by lightning a few days ago, so half is broken.

The Gesang flowers all over the ground complement the tranquility of the lover tree.

I still set up the tripod. In order to cooperate with me, Wu Xiansen made this move extremely good.

It was already raining by this time, and the weather was not as good as it was in the morning. It was a little chilly. Fortunately, we were halfway through our trip.

The last stop is Zouwedding Bridge. It is said that the scenery may be better in autumn, and the grass sea has turned golden.

Around Lugu Lake, the whole journey is about more than 80 kilometers. I ride a battery bike from Yunnan to Sichuan and back to Yunnan.

To commemorate the battery car with lasting electricity, although it looks simple, it is full of security. Wu Xiansen has worked hard. As the first time he has driven such a heavy battery car, it is not easy to arrive safely.

Back at the hotel, I was hungry. The Sichuan brother said that there was not much food today. Look at what you want to eat. I ordered a plate of dry-fried pork sausage and other vegetables. It was really the most correct decision for this trip. As I don't like to eat pig offal, I also think it's delicious! That nothing else matters.

The next morning I drove back to Lijiang, and the hotel sent you back to the boarding point. There were two patients on the bus who were going to be sent to the hospital. They were also around the lake. I was accidentally riding my bike, fell and broke my bones.

God, I really think we are not injured. I don't know where we got the courage to drive more than 120 kilometers along the lake and mountain road.

On the second night in Lijiang, I booked Huajiantang and stayed in Huajiantang for the first time. As the originator of the chain B & Bs, it is really unique and has clothes drying equipment in the room.

Pack your luggage and visit the ancient city.

After receiving notice that there was a typhoon in Shanghai, the original flights were cancelled and all were delayed for one day.

After thinking about it for a while, I would go to Baisha and Dayan. After all, I didn't want to be too tired to go to the snowy mountains. After the extra day, I still felt that my first day in my dream was very good in every aspect. I asked if there were any vacant rooms and made a reservation quickly.
In the morning, I finished the buffet breakfast at Huajiantang and cooked a bowl of rice noodles myself. After checking out, I left my luggage in my dreams.

Baisha feels a bit like Xizhou. It has a primitive and original ecology, with not many people and shops. It is completely different from Lijiang Ancient Town.

Interestingly, we met a young couple in Baisha. They rented a tandem bicycle in Dayan, but they didn't want to ride it back. They felt too tired and asked us if we would help return it. It was a coincidence that we were going to Dayan, so we agreed.

Follow the navigation and ride a tandem bicycle (really tired, I have to push it on the brick ground of the ancient city... I finally know why they don't want to return it...) Fortunately, the scenery along the way was good, so I wasn't in a hurry anyway.

Dayan Ancient Town is actually nothing special. Its commerce is no more than Lijiang Ancient Town, but its originality is no more than Baisha.

If I want to climb Lion Mountain to watch the sunrise at night, I originally need a ticket to the top of the mountain. I thought that it would not be cost-effective to buy a ticket specially, so I would like to see it at the highest place you can.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

That night, the store manager of Mengli Nianhua also invited everyone to have a barbecue and chat together. There were friends who made music and friends who traveled extensively. On that night, I truly felt that my nine-to-five life was so monotonous and ordinary. Compared with those who had dreams, I was so insignificant.

After breakfast the next day, I tidied up and rushed to the airport.

Writing here, this trip to Yunnan full of surprises and surprises has also ended.

Keep it at the end

Now think about it, why write travel notes?
In addition to sharing some dry goods and strategies, so that friends who want to go can avoid detours.
It is also to leave a memory for myself, just like writing this travel note four years later. I have already forgotten some details, and these memories and experiences have actually made me who I am now.
Many years later, you may not remember where you bought your ticket at that time or what interesting people you met. Isn't it wonderful to come back and review the travel notes and recall the memories buried deep?
