And you around me

I love them all

"Since you are unhappy and don't like it here, why not go west to Dali. Maybe love is waiting by the Erhai Lake, maybe the story is happening... "Probably only people who have really been to Dali can understand how Hao Yun's song, whether it is the words or the song, conforms to Dali's temperament. She is the most literary girl. It is a place where the romance of the wind and snow will be integrated into every inch of air and every corner.💕💃In comparison, Lijiang seems more pyrotechnic. The first ray of sunshine in the morning shines into the alleys of the ancient city. When you open the door, you can smell the fragrance of flowers. The jingling of pots and pans in the breakfast shop on the street is what I want.🥣🌸️

We almost hit it off when my roommates and I chose Yunnan for our graduation trip and destination. After coordinating everyone's time, we decided to travel in late April. The trip consisted of a round-trip trip of 7 days, and we took the route from Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Lugu Lake-Kunming, but Kunming didn't play and just had a connecting flight. Facts have proved that spending a week in Yunnan is not enough (someone is strongly condemned here). If it weren't for the fact that the air tickets were too expensive before the May Day holiday, we really wanted to change our tickets.🙄️

The temperature difference in April in Yunnan is very large, especially in Lugu Lake. The difference between day and night can be nearly 20 degrees. The day is summer in the day. As soon as the sun sets, there is a feeling of autumn immediately, so bringing suitable clothes is quite necessary.🌡️In addition, the ultraviolet rays in the plateau areas are extremely powerful and the air is very dry. What's more terrifying is that the days in April in Yunnan are still very long, and it starts to get dark at around 8 p.m. Beautiful girls must carry sunscreen and moisturizing spray with them. Keep applying and spraying to prevent sunburn!🚰🧴️

🔆Strategies

💡Various arrangements you can refer to

Talk about big traffic

As a major tourist province, Yunnan's air tickets are not cheap at any time, and there are almost no direct flights to and from Kunming in Dalian. As an expert in booking air tickets, I don't have much room to make use of it. I booked a round-trip ticket for three people in a few seconds. It's 1300 yuan/person, which is not bad.️🤷‍️There is a bullet train from Kunming to Dali, which costs 123 yuan/person in a 2-hour drive. In contrast, the transportation in Lijiang is much behind. Only a green leather train can be taken. It costs only 34 yuan/person in a 2-hour drive, but the scenery along the way is still quite good. If you are lucky, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from afar.🏔🚞

Ninglang Lugu Lake Airport

Lugu Lake is not accessible by train. A four-hour bus ride from Lijiang costs 40 yuan/person. In order to save time, we did not return to Lijiang after finishing our trip to Lugu Lake. Instead, we flew directly from Ninglang Lugu Lake Airport to Kunming Changshui Airport in 1 hour. The airport bus + air ticket costs 430 yuan/person.🛫Ninglang Lugu Lake Super Mini Airport can only accommodate round-trip flights from Lugu Lake to Kunming. The appearance refers to the local Mosuo architectural styleˇ, which is very distinctive.️

So, half of the budget was spent on the travel expenses alone. At this moment, I really envy my friends who live in the transportation hub city of the motherland!🚗💴

Talk about urban transportation

This trip was accompanied by a ride and a taxi (more transportation methods tips tips for TIPS). Although part of the reason was that there was not much public transportation in Dali and Lijiang, the more important reason was that I sprained my foot 3 hours before departure. Amazingˇ At first, I felt okay, but it would hurt a little when walking, but when I stopped from Dalian to Huai 'an, I didn't dare to move at all. Watching myself limping while walking, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and I was in a dilemma, silently encourage myself to face everything with optimism!🙏😂🦵️🚶‍🚌💡🔅🚕

Kunming changshui International Airport

In order to try not to delay the progress, I will never walk where I can take a car (the luggage cart at the airport smells so fragrant)... Fortunately, with the careful care of my roommates and the support of Yunnan Baiyao produced in Yunnan, I was miraculously able to walk almost normally on the third day.️🚶‍🧪🚘Alas, for the nth time, I felt like a strange woman with a confused and funny physique.🤦‍

Talk about accommodation

B & Bs and inns are everywhere in Yunnan, and the prices are almost based on location. There is little difference in the quality of inns in the same area.🏠Both Dali and Lijiang recommend living in the Ancient City of Lijiang and the Ancient Town of Shuhe. Lijiang is lively and Shuhe is quiet, making it most convenient to eat, drink and have fun; Lugu Lake recommends living in a room with a view of the lake.

Daluoshui Village

We stayed in triple rooms and family rooms with complete facilities and a warm environment.

Tell me about the itinerary

Dali, Lijiang and Lugu Lake are almost the same line, so just walk down it. It is not recommended to travel from Lijiang to and from Lugu Lake. It is a waste of time. Not to mention, the entire winding road is very bumpy and it is not worth the effort to consume physical strength.🗺

Talk about food and drink

The taste of Yunnan cuisine is somewhere between Chinese cuisine and Southeast Asian cuisine. The ingredients can be said to be based on mountains and rivers. They are very wild (Yunnan Cuisine Guide TIPS). Most of them are not used to me. There are also some dishes I have tried for the first time in my life. emm is very wonderful... Next is the time to take stock of the red and black food list.📊💡🔅

🟥My food red list

Yunnan

These dishes are all Yunnan specialties and delicious. We mainly recommend wild mushroom hot pot. They do not have the strange taste as I imagined, but are delicious and fragrant. Yunnan cuisine is characterized by its large oil and heavy taste, but it is a clear stream, especially the flavor of mushrooms is integrated into the soup. It is so delicious!🥣🧆🍲👍

Highly recommended to check in to a restaurant where even taste buds can be satisfied in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang| xiaoguofan restaurant

The staff in the store are all very enthusiastic. This is the first thing to say and it will not give people an uncomfortable feeling.

📍People sang folk songs when we came

The environment is clean and comfortable

The reviews of the dishes are all in the picture

Bird stomach friends order order, for reference onlyˇ: Steamed pot chickenˇ, small pot riceˇ, Dongba grilled fishˇ, lover plum ribsˇ, cold mixed water poplar flowersˇ, wrapped tofu

Small pot rice:

Potatoes, ham, edamame, carrot

The ingredients are rich

The potatoes are very impressed

The outer shell is crispy, and the inner surface is faceted

delicious

One serving is enough for 2 adults

Steam pot chicken:

Shan Qiang pushed the chicken soft and tender

The delicious soup base has endless aftertaste. Absolute NO.1

Lover Plum Ribs:

The taste of sweet and sour pork ribs, with plums next to it. I personally like the CD very much

Pork tofu:

Tender, delicious but not stunning

Suggest the sisters of the bird stomach to order at the bottom

Cold mixed water poplar flowers:

No special taste, very cool feeling

Personally, I think the pork ribs in hot pot are better

coconut milk:

8.8 The taste of coconut milk in the group is cold and cool

Ice powder:

The beauty of the desserts is made quite high, the ingredients are also quite rich, and it will not be very sweet.

Clang clang banish! Please take a look at the most pompous dish in Yunnan…👀

Xiao Yunnan Zhengqi Stone Fish

"The Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan, take off their straw hats and use them as a pot lid" is talking about this steaming stone pot fish! Put the cleaned fish stalks into a large stone pot, pour in the prepared soup, and open fire. After a while, a large stream of steam exudes ostentatiously through the lid of the pot, and bursts of fish aroma float out from time to time. Let us, hungry and cold, leave behind disappointing saliva.👭🍲Of course, its pompous nature is not only reflected in the cooking process, but the fish soup is also sour and spicy, but it tastes just right when served with fish.🌶️

ˇMy Food Black List

Delicious food is delicious, but dark cuisine has its own flavor.🤮👍For example, this fried egg with tree bark makes me a little tired of eggs, who doesn't like to eat egg dumplings; Dali's authentic milk fan smells smelly, but it doesn't taste very fragrant; the black ears of the black are folded, I really can't eat a mouthful of rice, and the moment I bite it, I understand the meaning of its other name-houttuynia cordata; The aquatic poplar flower dumplings are a plant that grows in water, and they can't tell whether it is a flower or a grass, and it doesn't taste much. Different homes have different practices. The Shuhe's cooking is really delicious; I thought Yunnan fruit dumplings would be delicious, but the pineapple and carambola in the fruit pie are just average; Finally, this eggplant dumplings seem to say I am a U-shaped pillow, so don't mess with me!🤢

🔆Attractions

Yunnan is so beautiful that it makes people want to take everything they see home.

Dali University📍

Recommendation index:🐟🐟🐟🐟

Tickets: Free

Tour time: 2 hours

Dali University covers an area of more than 2300 acres and has two campuses: Gucheng and Xiaguan. The school has fragrant grass and green, birds singing and fragrance of flowers, backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing the Erhai Lake. It is known as "the university in the mountains and rivers, and the landscape in the university."

🤸‍♀️玩法📷

Early April is the cherry blossom season in Dali. It is said that the cherry blossoms at Dali University are very beautiful when they are in full bloom. When we went there, it was already late April, and the cherry blossoms were falling, crystal clear and elegant.🎑🌸

Dali University

Yunnan is full of flowers, plants and trees that I can't name. For example, what kind of plant is this fruit or flowers that bloom like mangosteen? Up to now, there is still no answer. haha.🌴🍀

Dali University

Dali University is right to be known as "Shanshui University". It is a scene in ten steps and a forest in five steps. Everywhere is lush, which makes people feel brighter.️🌲🏫

Ancient City of Dali

Recommendation index:🐟🐟🐟🐟

Tickets: Free

Tour time: 3 hours

The ancient city of Dali was the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan during the more than 500 years of history of the Tang and Song Dynasties. Today, it carries Dali's historical culture, religious culture, and national culture, and is the core tourism area of Dali.

Dali ancient city

There are many small shops in the ancient city that make pigtails. Friends who love beauty can try ethnic hairstyles and hair ornaments. When we were having breakfast at the rice noodle shop, an old lady came in with a colorful rope and asked us if we wanted to braid our hair, so our roommate took advantage of breakfast time to get the new look done.🌈

Night cakes in the ancient city are the most fun. Locals will come out to start small businesses and sell various snacks, fruit cakes, and souvenirs.

Erhai Lake and Dali

Recommendation index:🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Tickets: Free

Tour time: 1 day

Erhai Lake is named because it is shaped like an ear. Although it is called a sea, it is actually a lake. It is said that because Yunnan is deeply inland, the Bai people call it Erhai Lake to express their yearning for the sea.

Erhai Lake

🤸‍♀️玩法📷

What people coming to Dali must not miss is a tour around the Erhai Lake. There are several ways: driving, chartering, carpooling, cycling, and touring.🚙🚗🗺Cycling is difficult to play all day long, and it is very sunburn and hot. It requires very high physical fitness and physical fitness. If you are not a professional cycling team, this method is not recommended.️🚴‍Travel photography is a very popular project recently. It is more suitable for young people. We chose Travel Photography Around the Sea. There are professional photographers responsible for taking photos. We have to book in advance to take photos around the Sea while taking photos. We found it after a friend recommended it. It's especially worry-free. The most important thing is that there is no shopping.

Erhai Lake

Usually, the route around the Erhai Lake starts from the ancient city of Dali or Shuanglang, where tourists are most crowded, and circles clockwise or counterclockwise, which is exactly a whole day.🏘We started from the ancient city and passed through Huanhaixi Road, Xizhou, Haizhe Park, Taoyuan Village, Shangguan, Shuanglang, Chanse, Huanhaidong Road, Lover Cliff. Finally, we were sent by the driver to Dali Railway Station to Lijiang.️👨‍🚗

🐬Qierhai, Ancient Town of Qixizhou📍

🚩The first stop of Erhai Lake: Xizhou Ancient Town

The residential buildings in Xizhou Ancient Town are old for a certain period of time. Although they look old, many designs are very particular. Most of the wooden doors and windows are decorated with color paintings, and a circle of exquisite stone paintings under the eaves embellished the already brightly colored walls. The details make Xizhou Ancient Town full of artistic charm.🖼The streets of the ancient town are narrow and can only accommodate one car at most, so the locals have a tacit understanding and hardly drive their cars in. Occasionally, residents in the town drive donkey carts and shout to sell some local fresh fruits and vegetables, which are also regarded as interesting props by tourists to take photos one after another. haha.👴🚘In the ancient town, there are often pairs of young people wearing formal dresses to take wedding photos, which is an imaginable retro style.👰🤵If you're hungry, you can try the local specialty Xizhou Baba, which tastes good ~

Ganhaishe Park Ganerhai📍

Erhai Lake Second Station: Haishue Park

The name Haishue Park has become too vivid. Take a horse-drawn carriage on the roadside to the entrance of the park. The further you walk, the narrower it becomes. The end of the road is the Erhai Lake.🐎The dead trees on the edge of the Erhai Lake were once twisted and submerged in the water, but they have become a unique landscape in Haizue Park. An open space on the shore was contracted by local people, reorganized and operated into a small photography base, but my favorite thing is a big tree at the end of the park. In addition to bringing a hint of shade in the hot season, sitting on the stone slab around the tree and taking photos is also a literary and artistic picture.👒️🌳📸🍂

Yan Huanhai West Road Yan Erhai

🚩The third stop of Erhai Lake: Huanhai Road

The Haixi Highway winds between Cangshan and Erhai Lake. Both sides of the road are filled with pastoral atmosphere. Some local people grow some crops, while others plant various beautiful flowers and plants in their own land and take care of them. A small garden💐, paired with some props such as swings and bicycle braces for tourists to take photos.🎍🌾🌿🏞Of course, this is a fee-based activity, and the prices vary. An average small garden is about 10-20 yuan per person, but there are several particularly popular Internet celebrity photography bases that are interested in, for example, white buses with high appearance rates. The ticket price reaches 80-100 yuan per person.

🐬Taoyuan Village📍

🚩Erhai Lake Fourth Station: Taoyuan Village

The master found a beautiful place for us to take photos ~ It was in Taoyuan Village, Binhaixi Road. The local villagers would place props on the edge of the Erhai Lake, and each person would take photos without time limit. Many of the large films I saw on major travel platforms were taken there ~🎐📸👨‍🦱

🐬📍Shuanglang

Erhai Lake Fifth Station: Shuanglang

Around the Erhai Lake clockwise, the first thing to pass through Shangguan is Shuanglang. It is the most beautiful town in Dali. From Shuanglang, you can take a boat to Nanzhao Style Island. However, we didn't go there, so we could only overlook it.👁🚢🏘🔁In the past few years, Shuanglang was frequently disturbed due to poor tourism management, so it was renovated for a period of time and a large number of B & Bs, inns and restaurants were closed. Today, Shuanglang has almost restored its former scenery and is a sign of must-check in around the Erhai Lake.📸🚫

Qihuanhai East Road Qierhai

🚩The sixth station of Erhai Lake: Huanhaidong Road

The Haidong Road is a bit more tortuous than the Haixi Road. The landscape is relatively devoid of so many human factors, and is mainly composed of original trees, cliffs and stone groups.🔮🏞We walked around Haidong Road at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, but since this was the closest section of the road to Erhai Lake, we kept the car windows open, listened to music, and blew the sea breeze. It greatly alleviated the unhappiness caused by the heat.🥵️🕑

Gancai Village Ganerhai📍

🚩Erhai Lake Seventh Station: Caicun

Ancient City of Lijiang

Recommendation index:🐟🐟🐟🐟

Tickets: Free

Tour time: 1 day

The ancient city of Lijiang, also known as Dayan Town, was built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasties. The streets were built by mountains and rivers and paved with red breccia. They cover an area of 7.279 square kilometers. They are two cities in China that have successfully declared the entire ancient city for World Cultural Heritage. One of the ancient cities. 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.

The architectural style of the ancient city of Lijiang is completely different from that of the ancient city of Dali. Most of the houses are mainly wooden structures. The layout of the courtyard is scattered. The decoration of flowers and plants adds a little flavor of life, making it simple and elegant.🆚

The night in the ancient city kicks off with a bonfire party in the center of Sifang Street. Every night, local in-laws and mothers-in-law will dance around the bonfire, attracting a large number of tourists to stop and participate.🔥🌃The waterwheel in the ancient city is one of the most popular places to check in, which means that the people of Lijiang are eager for harvest and carries the people of the ancient city' s wish to avoid fires. Of course, tourists can also make a wish. Tie it to the corridor next to the waterwheel. Up ~️📷

Shuhe ancient town

Recommendation index:🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Tickets: Free

A very cozy town, Lijiang's "Xanadu". Those who like tranquility can choose to live in Shuhe Ancient Town. It is really a town with flowers and plants, blue sky and white clouds, birds and flowers singing, and flowers. It is a town that I yearn for!

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Recommendation index:🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Tickets: Subject to specific conditions

Tour time: 1 day

The Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi, meaning "Tianshan Mountain". Its thirteen snowy peaks are endless, like a "dragon" leaping and dancing, so they are called "Jade Dragon". Because its lithology is mainly limestone and basalt, with clear black and white, it is also called the "Black and White Snow Mountain". It is a sacred mountain of the Naxi people. It is said that it is the embodiment of the Naxi protective god "Sanduo".

🐬📍Yunshanping

Yunshanping is 3240 meters above sea level and is a plateau meadow to the east of Yulong Snow Mountain.🏕📐

Yunshanping has different scenery all year round. The time we went was considered early spring in Yunshanping. Except for the evergreen trees in the virgin forest, the flowers and grass had not yet grown. There were sporadic small lambs on a large yellow lawn. It seemed to be waiting for the arrival of spring.💕🐑🌲💐My mother sent me a postcard when she came here before, and this time I also sent one to a good friend (although the wish I made to her at that time did not come true), which felt that it gave this landscape more meaning.📝🎈📨Walking around Yunshanping was not very far, but then we realized that this was the legendary altitude reaction while panting. I was so scared that I quickly took out an oxygen bottle and took a few puffs. (Pay attention to the guidelines for altitude reaction Tips TIPS).💡😱️🚶‍

🐬Blue Moon Valley📍

Lanyue Valley is located in the valley north of Ganhaizi at the eastern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain and south of Yunshanping.🏞

blue Moon Valley

One of the beautiful scenery that must not be missed when visiting the Yulong Snow Mountain is the Blue Moon Valley. It is named because the valley is crescent-shaped, and the river water is clear of blue and green on sunny days, like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain.🌙🏔️

You can see the Blue Moon Valley on the Yunshanping Cable Car, which is as dazzling as a sapphire in the mountains. Nature can always create beautiful things that are beyond the reach of humans without any effort and silently. The snow on the snowy mountains melts, and the snow water flows into the mountains. It turns out to be clear and translucent green. Walking down the valley, it becomes bright and pure blue water, forming four water surfaces called Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Lanyue Lake and Tingtao Lake.️

🐬Lugu Lake📍

Recommendation index:🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

Ticket: 70RMB

Tour time: 2 days

Lugu Lake is located at the junction of Yanyuan County, Sichuan Province and Ninglang County, Yunnan Province. It is under the joint jurisdiction of Sichuan and Yunnan. It is a plateau fault corrosion and collapse lake. It is the highest lake in Yunnan Province and the third largest deep-water lake in China.

If you want to deeply experience the beauty of Lugu Lake, I suggest that your friends reserve two days, starting from the vicinity of Lige Village, where they lived on the first day, and passing counterclockwise through Yunnan Valentine Beach-Langfang Village-Dianchuan Friendship Bridge-Caohai-Goddess Bay-Sichuan Valentine Beach-Xiaoluoshui Village. Finally, we will arrive at our next day's residence, Daluo Water Village. The driver is humorous and funny and can take photos. It can be said that it is a great value!🌊Because the road around Lugu Lake is not easy to walk on, and many scenic spots with few people and beautiful people are familiar with the route, you should be more cautious when choosing a self-driving road.🚗🗺🛣In addition to sightseeing around the lake, Gum Goddess Mountain near Nise Village is also worth a visit. Friends who are not afraid of heights can also take a 360-degree panoramic cable car to view the beauty of Lugu Lake from a high place.️

Wulugu Lake, Wulige Peninsula

🚩The first stop of Lugu Lake in Huanhuan: Lige

It's already dusk from Lijiang to Lugu Lake. It's time for a meal. The outside has turned from stormy storms to clear skies, which perfectly explains the ever-changing weather conditions in the mountains.🌤🕠The colorful canoes parked by the lake are called pig trough boats. They can be seen at many docks in Lugu Lake. When the weather is good, you can take a boat to play on the small island in the center of the lake.️The most popular one is Wangfei Island, where you can visit the "Dear Inn" shooting cabin. Of course, boating among the grass and sea is also a good experience.🏠

Riga Island

The shape of the Rigg Peninsula is very strange, like a chicken leg... The narrowest part of the road is only two meters wide. The island is not large and the houses are very crowded. I don't understand why many tourists choose to live here.️🤷‍🏘😂

Lugu Lake

Nise Village is located at the foot of the mountain of the goddess Gom. There are only a dozen households in the village, and all houses are built along the mountain and water.🏡There are two tree trees with connected roots and leaves in the village called Lover Trees, which are places where most tourists check in. However, I think there are many such trees, which is probably just a gimmick for Nisai Village to attract tourists. The first time Lugu Lake attracted me was when I sat on a bench by the lake, watching the calm lake surface, the clouds in the sky, and the mountains in the distance merge into a picture, and feeling the moment when the breeze touched my face. Even though the crowd around me was bustling, my heart was extremely stable.🌤

Lugu Lake

On the way back, we chose another road and accidentally walked onto the road. The winding mountain road was more thrilling than it looked. Once again, we reminded our self-driving friends to be careful. Tourists on foot️️🚶‍🚗🛣

🐬Lovers Beach

🚩The third stop of Lugu Lake in Huanhuan: Lovers Beach

🐬Lugu Lake, the boundary between Yunnan and Sichuan

🚩The fourth stop of Lugu Lake in Huanhuan: Dianchuan Friendship Bridge

🐬Gancaohai Ganlugu Lake

Wuhuan Lugu Lake Fifth Station: Caohai

Goddess Bay📍

🚩The sixth station of Lugu Lake in Huanhuan: Goddess Bay

Ji Shen Tai📍

Qihuan Lugu Lake Seventh Station: God Sacrifice Platform

Pay attention to altitude reaction!

Altitude sickness varies from person to person. It seems to have no inevitable connection with factors such as age, gender, and physical condition. Some people will feel obvious shortness of breath when they arrive in Lijiang, but some people will not feel too uncomfortable even if they climb the top of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.🏔️👄️🧘‍🔍However, we still advise friends who go to the plateau to be careful and avoid strenuous exercise even if there is no altitude reaction for the time being. If you go to a place with a higher altitude such as the Yulong Snow Mountain, you should also carry an oxygen cylinder with you. Be prepared for any trouble.️️
