Little secrets in the suitcase

Before traveling, it is nothing more than booking air tickets, hotels, and equipment for traveling.

Two important points: sun protection and temperature difference.

You must do enough sun protection! Wear sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, sunblock clothing, etc. The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are very strong. Even if you don't feel the heat or the sun, it is actually quietly turning black...

In addition, the temperature difference is also very large, and down jackets (especially Shangri-La) are already needed on the evening of early October.

About booking an inn

Because Yunnan is mostly B & Bs, you can choose your favorite inn and add WeChat. Booking with the inn from WeChat is often cheaper than the website. We ordered it on behalf of Chengcheng, which is much cheaper than booking directly online. So you can get a lot of discounts.

About Gao Fan

Plateau reaction generally does not occur in Dali and Lijiang, and the altitude of more than 2,000 is still low, so there is no need to worry too much.

If you want to go to highlands with more than 3,000 altitudes such as Shangri-La, you don't have to rush to buy oxygen cylinders. The group you sign up will provide them for free. As for medicines, local people told me that I didn't need to take medicine, just buy some cold granules to prevent it. Then drink more water, drink more water, drink more water.

The correct way to open Dali in early summer/Go around the sea with the wind

Because I grew up by the sea, Yunnan only left Dali for one day this time, but one day was enough to see my Dali style. The one-day trip price is also very cheap. It is 358 yuan to go to Cangshan Gantong Soudao, Erhai Cruise Line, and Xizhou. Among them, the most recommended point is the Erhai Cruise Line. Feel the Erhai Lake up close ~

It feels very comfortable to be in the Erhai Lake in summer. The warm light and refreshing wind are a good place to escape the heat.

You can also choose to take travel photos here, and you can publish blockbusters ~

There are many inverted boats in this place. It is recommended to take photos at the place where the inverted boats are inverted. The scenery is very beautiful. The position of the inverted boat is not fixed. It will appear from time to time along the Erhai Lake. It will stop and go, and just take pictures when you see it.

There are many homes along the way that provide glass balls and white tables for tourists to take photos. There is a charge of 10 yuan/person for unlimited time.

But in fact, it won't take long, because if there are too many people, you will queue up and you will be embarrassed to linger for so long.

There are also many beautiful trees growing in the water in the Erhai Lake.

Another advantage of finding a local travel photographer is that he will familiarize himself with some unknown places and take you to take photos and play.

Because the Erhai Lake is not driving around the Erhai Lake all the time, but walking on the road near the Erhai Lake, and then turning into the Erhai Lake at a suitable intersection. So if you don't follow the group and don't do enough strategies, you may miss some beautiful places.

After the travel photos came out, in addition to the previous longing for Dali, I now have real memories ~ I left my most beautiful self in Dali and wrote it into a painting and hung it in my heart ~

Travel is like this. Many times the state of mind will determine what you see. It is a good trip to feel every trace of air and scenery with a good state of mind, right?

The next day ended. Good night.

The faith of Songzanlin Temple flies in the sky

At 9 a.m., we set out for Shangri-La with our friends from the group. There was also a young sister accompanying her. I felt sleepy all the way.

We stopped and stopped along the way, but it was too cold. Because the Tiger Leaping Gorge was not open, we chose Songzanlin Temple.

Napahaiyila Grassland

There were a total of 6 people in our small commercial car group. After lunch, the master took us directly to Songzanlin Temple, and then we entered the scenic area, we began to be guided by the scenic area guide ~

Gadan Songzanlin Temple

The tour guides give free lectures, and they give a wave every 15-30 minutes. A tour guide will take about 20 people. We went in and walked around first, and when we came out, we followed the tour guide who had just set off for a short time. Listen. The suggestion is to follow the guide so that you can have a deeper understanding of Songzanlin Temple.

Gadan Songzanlin Temple

The prayer wheel can only rotate clockwise.

Everything in Buddhism turns clockwise.

In fact, during the ancient Indian period, Buddhism was used to promote people at the bottom to join the religion. However, the people at the bottom had a low cultural level and it was difficult to understand the deeper teachings. Therefore, these people were allowed to turn the drum engraved with sutras to create a belief in Buddhism and the Buddha's teachings.

Gadan Songzanlin Temple

After visiting Songzanlin Temple, it was already past five o'clock. Check into the inn and visit the ancient city of Dukezong ~

Quiet Dukezong

The hotel we stayed in also received a good review-the hotel we stayed in with a group was unexpected.

Dukezong Ancient City, Shangri-La City-Guishan Park

Dukezong is still not very lively at night ~ but it is no less than the Ancient City of Lijiang and the Ancient City of Dali. It is another different exotic style with Tibetan style.

Although it is not as prosperous, there are few people and it is very comfortable.

Dinner is a toast banquet given by Cheng Cheng, which is not much different from what is eaten in an Internet celebrity restaurant. You can still taste local specialties.

Dukezong Ancient City, Shangri-La City-Guishan Park

I also drank highland barley wine and roasted Tibetan pork with five flowers. I forgot to take pictures

The cheese meatballs are average. The zan ba was not delicious when first eaten, but in fact, it feels good after eating it with butter tea.

Everything else is delicious! Everything is delicious! Recommended!! Especially yogurt! I ate four or five yogurts in Qinghai in one go!

The Napa Sea has light winds and clear clouds, horses and sea

I got up early today and continued on to the Naphai-Ira Grassland.

Napahaiyila Grassland

There were still stops and stops along the way.

After arriving at Napa Sea, I was actually very sorry. Because of the rain during this period of time, the Ira grassland has disappeared and turned into a piece of water!

Napahaiyila Grassland

It's a pity that I didn't see the Ira Grassland, but the scenery is still very beautiful.

I rented a horse for 100 yuan/person. Tickets are free for group tours ~ If you rent a horse, it depends on your wishes, and there is no recommendation for group tours.

Dukezong Ancient City, Shangri-La City-Guishan Park

I rode a horse and walked around for about an hour. The little pony is really good. Occasionally, it will stop to eat grass, which scares me.

Napahaiyila Grassland

In fact, I don't know if I came to the right place, or if I didn't see the entire scenic spot, the overall feeling didn't give me a big feeling. I just rode around for a ride. There is no suggestion about the Napa Haiila Grassland. I may not have found the right way to open it myself, haha.

I bid farewell to my little white horse and went to Pudacuo National Park.

Encounter Pudacuo National Park

Pudacuo Super Healing System Small Fresh

The Pudacuo National Park sightseeing route is divided into three routes, and a guide will give you a detailed introduction on the chartered car that enters.

Overall, the tour takes 4-5 hours and is a combination of walking and boat.

pudacuo National Park

The must-see place to come to Shangri-La is Pudacuo, and I spent a lot of time visiting Pudacuo on the itinerary of my group. It is really worth staying here.

pudacuo National Park

Pudacuo is the ranch of local herdsmen, and cattle grazing can be seen everywhere

The end of Pudacuo means the end of Shangri-La's trip. Returned to the ancient city of Lijiang

The ancient city of Lijiang is bathed in sunshine all day long

We spent two days in the Ancient City of Lijiang and spent our time lazily.

It is very comfortable to sit in the courtyard of the inn at night and look at the stars and chat.

[Mint] Environment: It's my last day in Yunnan. I just arrived in Shuhe today. My brother at B & B who is staying here recommended this restaurant! It is also the best restaurant I have here! Whether it is food or environment!

Braised pork, some taste of Suhang private cuisine, quite a good recommendation

The first bite of the aquatic poplar flower has a wonderful taste. It is a bit like water grass. It is a very refreshing and healthy taste!

Then the small pot of rice and seaweed pork ribs soup are both very good

After all, the seven-year-old store is indeed very reliable!

The journey is over. Every time I go back from a trip, I will be in a trance for a few days before I return to my state.

Traveling is really a wonderful thing, and traveling alone is even more wonderful. You can decide your itinerary at your heart, you can meet and meet all kinds of different people, and you have to travel alone again when you have the opportunity. Being alone does not mean being alone. Being alone can even be more fulfilling.

Whether you have money or no time, or you have time or no money, don't be an excuse. If you don't have time to travel short distances, if you don't have money, you can travel poor. As long as you have the opportunity, people must try their best to go out and see as much as possible. Time and awareness are the most precious things. Feel more things in your limited life, maybe you will reap valuable wealth that is truly beneficial to you.

Finally, I would like to commend myself. I have traveled far and near more than a dozen times. This is the first time I have completed such a complete and detailed travel book!
