Another note: if you don't want to be disappointed in Yunnan, don't join the group.
First stop, Kunming
Kunming is a spring city and a famous tourist city, but after a long time, you really don't think there are any scenic spots worth playing here. If time is not enough, two days is enough:
Leave home
Le Tu Wandering Tribe 5th Anniversary 2007 Tibetan Holy Land Wedding Air Travel White Paper Golden Week Travel Guide Self-help Travel, arrange delicious accommodation first. The consumption level in Kunming is not very high, and the prices of food and accommodation are reasonable. But as a student, it is still based on the principle of saving money. Therefore, when you arrive in Kunming, you can arrange accommodation around Yunnan University (Gong Kun, Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Nationalities are also in this area). Most of the hotels here are for college students who can't go back to the dormitory on time nearby, which is very cost-effective.
The specific route is:
1) Kunming Wujiaba Airport:
Method A: Take a taxi to Yunnan University for Nationalities. The fare is around 20 yuan during the day and around 24 yuan at night.
Method B: Take the bus in front of the airport (Kunming Airport is very close to the urban area, and it is one of the few airports with direct buses in China) to Kunming Railway Station. The fare is one yuan, and you can bring your own change (the same below). Transfer to No.64 at Kunming Railway Station and get off at Minzu University.
2) Kunming Railway Station
Method A: Take bus No.64 to Minzu University (getting to the station is not at the exit of the railway station, so you need to ask for directions).
Method B: Take bus No.2 to Jianshe Road (get on at the exit of the railway station, but you need to ask for directions after getting off, and walk to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about 2 stops).
Method C: Take a taxi directly to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about RMB 16- 18.
When you arrive at the main entrance of Minzu University, just ask the passing students where there are cheap and hygienic hotels nearby, and most of them will enthusiastically recommend them to you. (PS: Most Yunnan natives are also warm and simple, and they can ask for directions in Yunnan Province. )
Hotels around here are generally ordinary rooms, regardless of off-season and peak season. The price is 10- 15 yuan per bed.
After settling down, if it is still early, you can eat nearby, because most of the shops nearby are run by students, so there is no big phenomenon of cheating customers, but you should be prepared to buy fruit nearby. After dinner, you can take a walk in Cuihu Park through the campus of Yunnan University (65438+ red-billed gulls inhabit here in February-March of the following year, with spectacular scenery). To be on the safe side, you need to get back to the hotel before 24 o'clock.
Official itinerary
Day 1 day: Jin Dian World Expo Park
The World Expo Park was completed in 1999 and has been commercialized since the beginning of the competition. Although they are all man-made, it is still necessary to see them because of their great fame. However, people who are interested in gardens or buildings will still gain something from it.
Admission: 100 yuan. You can buy half a ticket with your student ID card. You must bring your student ID card when you come to Yunnan. Almost all major scenic spots have half-price student tickets to buy, but the verification is very strict. )
Transportation: Ask for directions from the main entrance of Minzu University, walk to Jianshe Road, and take bus No.69 to the terminal (the return journey is the same).
It takes half a day to browse the Expo site. If it is still early, you can take the ropeway in the park (not recommended) or take the bus outside the park to the Golden Temple Scenic Area (tickets 15 yuan, no student tickets). Jindian was built in Wu Sangui in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was made by pure casting. Apart from the Golden Temple, there is almost no ornamental value in the scenic spot. Take the 10 bus back to the University for Nationalities after coming out of the Golden Temple.
The next day: Shilin
The famous address park is world-famous and worth seeing.
Shilin is not in the city, so transportation and accommodation are troublesome. You can report a one-day tour of Shilin according to the advertisement published in front of the railway station or the Expo Park the day before (the price is about 100 yuan, and if it exceeds this price, you will bargain, including scenic spot tickets, Chinese food and bus fare).
When signing up for a tour, be sure to visit the scenic spots including the "Oishinohayashi" scenic spot (the picture on the Shilin brand cigarette box).
One-day tour of Shilin is cheap, but no matter whether the travel agency reported it is formal or not, there are many tricks in it, so you need to be very careful. Personally recommend Yunnan Everbright Travel Agency and Yunnan International Travel Service.
The cunning of Shilin one-day travel agency;
A: The "Colorful Yunnan" shopping spot is halfway. "Emerald Jade" shopping spot. Remember: don't buy beautiful things. Otherwise, you will regret it.
B: Never draw lots, tell fortune, burn incense or worship Buddha in the temple. (The same is true in other places in Yunnan-except Songzanlin Temple in Shangri-La (see below)-it's not that we don't respect the deities and buddhas, but that the deities and buddhas in these small temples have been defiled by the secular monks and Taoists. )
C: Never take part in the so-called entertainment project of marrying ethnic minorities in Shilin Scenic Area, or you will lose 100 yuan.
D: When traveling in scenic spots, you can arrange home visits for ethnic minorities. Send wine and tea, don't worry. Just remember to keep your wallet tight and never buy it.
Tickets for 70 yuan (student 50 yuan) in Shilin Scenic Area are basically unprofitable, and the above problems are understandable. Understand these things yourself, and they can't help you if you don't fall for it. That's it. There is no need to argue with it. If the rest of the group looks at the rich man, let him be fooled. We are not saviors. After all, the tour guide has to eat. But the stone forest is still beautiful.
If you really don't want to join the group, take a bus to Kunming Railway Station, ask for directions, and take the relevant bus to Shilin County (one-way fare 15 yuan or so). Second stop Dali
Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom in history are both here, which is the base of Dali Kingdom in Tian Ba Long Department. However, times have changed, and there is not much historical accumulation here, but the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are still struggling to bear the history and refuse to retreat. Dali can arrange a day and a half to visit.
Transportation:
A: When flying from Kunming, all air tickets must be in 430 yuan, which is usually discounted.
B: By train: Apart from the extra trains in peak season, there are four trains from go to dali to Kunming every day, N982, N986, N992 and N996. Except N996, they are all night trains, but almost all their tickets are booked in advance by travel agencies-they despise China Railway-so ordinary tourists can only buy tickets for 996. If they decide not to stay in Kunming for too long, they can stay in Kunming.
N996 hard seat 35 yuan (without air conditioning) leaves at 9: 02 am and arrives in Dali at 15: 40.
The other three trains are all night trains, all arriving in the morning and at night. The hard seat fare is around 45 yuan, but as mentioned above, there is little hope of purchasing tickets.
PS: There will be extra buses in the peak season. Ask at the train station.
C: Take the express bus in front of Kunming Railway Station, and the fare to Dali is about 1 10 yuan, but the cost performance is not high, so we can do what we can.
Dali is a prefecture-level administrative region. The full name is Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. Our destination is its subordinate city Dali (called Xiaguan locally), and the tourist attraction is the ancient city of Dali in the suburbs of Dali.
After arriving at Dali Railway Station (the last stop in the southwest of the national railway map, Lijiang Railway is under construction), take bus No.8 directly in front of the station and get off at Eryuan Park. The fare is one yuan. Except for the No.8 bus, all bus tickets in Dali are 50 cents, so get the change ready. When I arrived at the Second Hospital Park, I was already in the ancient city of Dali.
After getting off the bus, many middle-aged women will ask you if you want to go to Cangshan Erhai Lake, but remember their phone numbers or activity areas, which will be useful tomorrow.
Live broadcast:
Accommodation in Dali is cheap, the standard room is about 40-45 yuan/day, and the ordinary room is 10-15 yuan/day. After getting off at the Second Hospital Park, ask for directions and walk to Dali Cinema. The road in front of the cinema is the busiest street in the ancient city. You can stay in a roadside hotel at the above price.
If you leave in the morning, it should be around five o'clock in the evening after you arrange accommodation in Dali. Go to the "Three Towers" if you are not hungry. Turn left facing the main entrance of Dali Cinema and go all the way to Zhengyangmen, the south gate of the ancient city. After taking photos here, take bus 19 to the third tower.
The three pagodas are located in the courtyard of Chongsheng Temple (that is, Tianlong Temple), of which only the three pagodas are historical sites, and the rest of the buildings are rebuilt. Tickets for 52 yuan (student ID is half price) and tickets for the Forbidden City in Beijing are only for 60 yuan in peak season, so I personally think this scenic spot is quite worthless.
It depends on everyone. If you don't want to spend this ticket, you can take bus 19 and get off at Santa Claus reflection park, which is a good place to take pictures of Santa Claus. Tickets are four yuan (but the manager of the Three Towers has bundled the tickets for the Reflection Park in order to force tourists to enter the Three Towers Scenic Area, but please tell the conductor of the Reflection Park that you can buy tickets for four yuan separately.
Come out of the reflection park, walk to the front of the three towers and have a look through the gate. No.
You can still take the 19 bus and get off at "foreigner street" when you come back from the third tower. If there are many people with you, you can also take the carriage in front of the three towers. The average fare is one yuan per person, which needs to be bargained. It's not dark at this time, so you can go down from the corner of foreigner street and have a barbecue or something for dinner when you cross the street.
PS: It's best not to have dinner in the restaurant in the ancient city. Hotel owners are all small-scale farmers with poor attitudes. If you don't talk about bad food, you will get angry. However, the barbecue price here is relatively reasonable, and grilled fish and grilled shrimp are highly recommended.
After dark, you can stroll around foreigner's street or bubble bar, and then you will feel the significance of coming to Dali.
Go back to the hotel before 24 o'clock and end the first day in Dali.
The second day in Dali:
Get up early for breakfast (it is recommended to eat a bowl of rice noodles at the second house in the northeast corner of the intersection facing the cinema, which is delicious and tight).
At breakfast, it is estimated that the middle-aged woman mentioned above will ask you if you can travel to Cangshan Lake and bargain with her. Generally, you can swim 20-30 yuan/person, Cangshan cableway 50 yuan/person, and small cableway 30 yuan/person (if you want to go to Cangshan, you'd better take the cableway).
Never go to the gate of the scenic spot to buy a ticket yourself, otherwise it will be much more expensive.
Personal opinion Erhai Lake can be visited, but the cruise ship will stop at two scenic spots, and the tickets will be taken care of by themselves, including:
Tianjingge/Guanyinge: Tickets 10 yuan, with half price for students (I don't think it is necessary to stay).
Kinso Island: Tickets to 3 yuan. Island is a small island inhabited by Bai people, all of whom are indigenous to Bai people. You can go up and take a walk to solve your lunch, but be sure to ask the price before eating. In addition, the white aunt on the island will take you to have three teas. You can try it, but her offer is 15 yuan/person, and you can also make a counter-offer to 3 yuan/person. )
After swimming in Erhai Lake around noon, you can take bus No.2 from the pier and go back to the ancient city in foreigner street, and continue to visit Cangshan in the afternoon.
If you still want to go to the Lijiang River, Cangshan can be omitted, so that you can save time to visit the Yan Jia Courtyard in Xizhou (take bus No.2 at the pier and get off at Lida intersection-bus No.2 usually doesn't stop, so you should say hello to the driver in advance-transfer from Shimonoseki to Xizhou, and 2 yuan/person's ticket).
Yan Jia Courtyard: Tickets 10 yuan, half price for students. Yan Jia quadrangles are divided into new quadrangles and old quadrangles. Tickets for 10 yuan can be used to browse these two houses. The layout of the two houses is similar. The new house looks good, but if it is true, it belongs to the old house.
Baba in Xizhou is very famous. Go to the Hutongkou of Yan Lao Yuan, and make a tunnel for 2 yuan. If I don't care about eating, I can buy two for dinner.
Not far from the Yanyuan is butterfly spring, but the butterfly has long gone, leaving only the dry well to accompany tourists. Admission: 20 yuan. Please consult CMB flight attendants or local people for specific routes.
No matter Cangshan, Xizhou dwellings or butterfly spring, tourists are just watching the fun-it is also idle to beat children in rainy days-after all, Dali is a stop in Yunnan, since I'm here ~ ~ ~
If it's too much trouble, you can take a local one-day tour in Dali the next day, about 120 yuan/person, but you must be more careful.
After visiting Dali, you can choose to go to Lijiang or go directly to Shangri-La.
Personally, I suggest taking the sleeper bus directly at night (the fare is 70 yuan, and you can book it at the private booking point in the ancient city. I personally recommend the reservation point downstairs of Jinhua Hotel at the corner of Foreigners Street. The proprietress is very enthusiastic.) Go directly to Shangri-La and arrive the next morning. This arrangement can not only save one night's time and accommodation expenses, but also save the ticket fee for Yulong Snow Mountain 120 yuan (see the figure below). In addition, Lijiang's itinerary will be more flexible.
If you want to go to Lijiang first, you can book tickets for the next morning, 35 yuan/person for ordinary CMB and 50 yuan/person for luxury express. We will arrive in Lijiang in four hours.
Third stop Shangri-La
Shangri-La was originally mentioned by an American named Hilton in her novel The Lost Horizon. In order to develop tourism, Yunnan people renamed the former Zhongdian County Shangri-La County under the guidance of experts, belonging to Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. The Shangri-La areas we usually visit are also very light, such as Meili Snow Mountain, Haba Snow Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge. The area is not only high in altitude, but also inconvenient in communication, so be prepared before coming. Here, I only send a short version of the route guide.
It only takes two days to arrange the scenic spots in Zhongdian County.
On the first day,
General vehicles will arrive in Zhongdian County before noon. You can find a place to live as soon as you arrive. You can recommend a place called the Fire Brigade Guest House (you can take a taxi). Although the environment is not very sanitary, the bed is passable. In addition, the price is extremely cheap, 10 yuan/person. The most important thing is that the front is a place where chartered cars are concentrated, which is very convenient.
If you go to Zhongdian in the morning, you can take CMB (ticket 3-5 yuan) to Napahai (ticket 10 yuan) at the bus station and return at noon. If you go to Zhongdian at noon, Napahai can be omitted, and there will be many such scenery afterwards.
Ask for directions in the afternoon, and walk to the No.3 bus stop (fare 1 yuan) to the destination, Kadansong Zanlin Temple. Songzanlin Temple, known as Little Potala Palace, is well worth visiting. (Tickets 10 yuan, no student tickets)
Songzanlin Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, where you will experience what real Buddhist monks are like. They will not try their best to earn or deceive tourists like the secular monks in the Buddhist temples mentioned above in the tour group route. All the expenses here are voluntary except the tickets. You can ask the living Buddha to touch the top and pray, or you can ask the little Lama to pray in the Hall of the Great Hero. He will give you a bracelet, and you can give incense money at will, from a few cents to hundreds.
Tickets for Songzanlin Temple are the cheapest and most value-for-money among all the scenic spots in Yunnan, but they can be avoided. After arriving at the main entrance of the temple, go straight along the stone road, enter an iron gate, and then enter the scenic spot. Save this 65,438+00 yuan and donate it to a temple or ask for a prayer wheel (the smallest 25 yuan). If polished, it will be closer to the Buddha.
The first day of the trip to Zhongdian was loosely arranged. Zhongdian is more than 2000 meters above sea level, and altitude sickness is unknown.
the next day
The famous scenic spots in Zhongdian are Bitahuan and Baishuitai, both of which are on the way to Zhongdian. But the bus is inconvenient, and it is basically chartered. It's best to gather more people when you charter a car, and then tell the driver to go directly to Daju County (near Jinsha River) and not to return to Zhongdian after swimming in Baishuitai, so you will find the beauty of the designed route after that.
Every 350 yuan -400 yuan is chartered from Zhongdian to Daju County.
Have a full meal in the morning, because lunch may be eaten with dinner.
Bitahai: A plateau meadow with grassland by the lake is beautiful. Admission fee with student ID card is half price in 30 yuan. But if you want to go to the lake, you may need to take a cruise, 30 yuan/person, and you can bargain to 20 yuan/person. However, if you don't like natural scenery very much, you can also omit cruise ships.
Baishuitai: a unique natural wonder formed by erosion. Admission fee with student ID card is half price in 30 yuan. In fact, the scenic spots are not worth that much money, or the same sentence: since I'm here ~ ~ ~
There are many restaurants coming down from Baishuitai Scenic Area, so you can walk a little further down the hill. I especially recommend a small shop called "Flavor Restaurant". The proprietress is very simple. She can be reduced a little. It's best to order a plate of Yunnan's specialty mushroom chicken fir, and you can eat it in this store for more than 10 yuan. Hum, if in Kunming, five times. After eating, I picked up two bottles of mineral water in her backyard, which was no worse than bottled water.
After eating, get on the bus and go to Daju County. The road is difficult to walk at first, but after all, "the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak", and you will pass the Haba Snow Mountain on this road. If you are lucky, you can see snow at the top of the mountain.
When you get to Jinsha River, you will see Tiger Leaping Gorge, and all this is free.
Chartered cars can only be sent to Jinsha River. Finding a ferry (5- 10 yuan/person) will be too late to cross the river, but you have to walk a few more steps to stop near the seat of Juju Township Government. We recommend a hotel called Snowflake Hotel. Clean, the proprietress is also very enthusiastic, and meals can be provided at home, depending on the situation.
the third day
You can choose to take the Tiger Leaping Gorge-the dream of many people. Jump from the tiger to the upstream, cross the canyon between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, and reach Lijiang. But you should be fully prepared, about two days. Tiger Leaping Gorge is also collecting tickets, but you can escape. This kind of junk ticket won't escape. I'm sorry for our superior socialist system. Methods Ask the local people.
If you are not in the mood to jump on foot, book a bus ticket to Lijiang at the hotel tomorrow; Daju 15 yuan to Maoniuping (middle ropeway), 20 yuan to Yunshan Ping, 25 yuan to Lijiang City.
Crucially, crossing the Yulong Snow Mountain in this way, we unconsciously saved 120 yuan (admission fee for 80 yuan and maintenance fee for the ancient city of 40 yuan) to enter the Snow Mountain from Lijiang. The unreasonable tickets in Lijiang continue to be despised below. Only in this way will you find out how much money you spent on chartered cars yesterday.
The fourth stop is Lijiang.
The scenery in Lijiang is really beautiful, but the poor tourism management in Lijiang is the same as her scenery in the whole country. Who has ever heard of the price of public toilets in scenic spots where tickets have been bought-one yuan for defecation and fifty cents for urination-which really makes Lijiang's tourism management executives feel ashamed! However, for the sake of beautiful cultural heritage and hardworking Lijiang people, we don't care about you.
The Quaker's name for Sunday
If you come from Daju, have a full meal before boarding, then get off at Maoniuping and take the cableway to see Yulong Snow Mountain (there is no student ticket in 60 yuan). If you are lucky, you can see Yulong Snow Mountain when there is no fog. One word: beautiful.
There are three ropeways on the snowy mountain, namely the middle ropeway of Maoniuping mentioned above, the small ropeway of Yunshan Ping (40 yuan) at the next stop of the shuttle bus, and the newly developed big ropeway (160 yuan). The first two ropeways can see the snow-capped mountains from a distance, and the latter can directly take tourists to the snowy areas of the snow-capped mountains. But relatively speaking, the middle ropeway in Maoniuping is quite cost-effective. For tourists from the north, it is not worthwhile to spend 160 yuan to see the snow. In addition, I personally think that Yulong Snow Mountain is a place that can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be used for fun. The development of ropeway is purely a group of stupid officials wasting things for vested interests. This kind of direct contact between human beings and snow-capped mountains is self-evident. Once again, I despise the tourism executives in Lijiang.
PS: No matter which ropeway, you should put on your coat. It's very cold on the mountain.
When you get off the ropeway, you can take bus No.7 (be careful not to take minibus, although they are all No.7). The ticket collection rules are: Maoniuping-Yunshanping (Baishuihe)-Lijiang City, and 5 yuan/person is collected at every two adjacent stops.
Baishui River is worth a visit. Although it is artificial, it is also beautiful. No charge.
The newly developed scenic spots such as Ganhaizi, Yushui Village and Dongba Valley on the snow-capped mountains are of little significance, especially Dongba Valley, which is a place to eat and is simply vulgar. In addition, don't trust any tour guides and businessmen easily on the snowy mountain, remember.
If you enter the Snow Mountain from downtown Lijiang, the route is the same as above, except that you have to pay the entrance fee of 120 yuan, and you will travel in the opposite direction. But don't rush into the snow-capped mountains too late, or you may have to queue for a long time by cableway.
Old Town of Lijiang is close to the new town, so you must stay in the ancient city. And don't worry, you can't change one, because it is probably the densest hotel in China. Try to give the accommodation price according to the standard of Dali ancient city.
As students, don't eat in the ancient city. That's not the price of the primary stage of socialism. In front of the ancient city, there is a facade without a signboard opposite the big waterwheel. The rice sold in it is just like the college canteen, and it is also true. Opposite the parking lot of the ancient city, there is a chain store of "Jiangshiqiao Xiangyuan Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles" in Kunming. It's delicious, and friends from other places can try it, but each kind is more expensive than that in 2 yuan, Kunming (Kunming people eat 8 yuan's kind, just try it, there's no need to eat 12 yuan's kind). The legendary Lijiang Baba is very famous, but it's 6 yuan in the ancient city, and anyone who buys it is ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ But when you walk on the streets of the ancient city, you may encounter the kind of stall that you set up yourself. If you think the price is reasonable, you can try it, especially something called chicken jelly.
You can listen to Naxi ancient music in the evening, but it must be hosted by Xuanke. Although some people in Yunnan academic circles think that it is not really Naxi music, due to its great fame, tickets for concerts for the elderly are still rising: A ticket 140 yuan, B ticket 120 yuan, and C ticket 100 yuan. It's up to you.
Let's spend the night in running water.
the next day
There is nothing to visit in the morning. You can go to the legendary Black Dragon Pool Park. Tickets to 60 yuan are half price for students-it's better to grab them. But I heard that tickets are free before seven o'clock in the morning, and I have never tried it myself-for a normal person who has been to Bitahai and seen the whole snow mountain, what's the point of going to the so-called "park"?
It's said that the ticket for Wangulou 15 yuan overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient city is sheer nonsense.
I'm going to Mufu in the afternoon. Tickets are 35 yuan, student ID 20 yuan and two 35 yuan. Although the ticket price is similar to the off-season of the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is also the most standardized tourist attraction in western Yunnan. There is a free explanation at the entrance, which is quite interesting. Just pay attention: just don't follow him to buy wine and tea and draw lots to worship Buddha like in Shilin.
Solve the problem of free activities after dinner and visit Lijiang night scene. If you have petty bourgeoisie money or petty bourgeoisie temperament, then you can go clubbing. It's cool and melancholy.
the third day
The arrangement of the third day depends on everyone:
If the train goes to Kunming during the day, it's better to get up early so that it can arrive at night. If you take the night train back to Kunming, you can get up early and take some photos in the ancient city. If you are in the daytime, the background of your photo will only be people. You can go to Shuhe ancient town after taking photos.
To go to Shuhe Ancient Town, you can rent a bicycle in the ancient city or take CMB. However, if you take CMB, don't take the special line at the entrance of the ancient city, but ask for directions and walk to Li Kelong Supermarket on Shangri-La Avenue in the new city, and take the bus at Longquan (the fare is 2 yuan). Get off at the turntable in front of Shuhe Town, then turn west on the dirt road and walk into Shuhe, so you can avoid the tickets of the ancient town of 30 yuan.
There are several ways to go home from Lijiang:
A: fly directly from Lijiang airport to your city.
B: Go back to Kunming from Lijiang first.
A) Fly back to Kunming, all tickets to 530 yuan.
B) Take the high-speed train back to Kunming, ticket 155 yuan.
C) Take the night sleeper bus back to Kunming, and the fare is 120 yuan.
D) Take the express train (50 yuan) or CMB (35 yuan) back to Dali, and then transfer to Kunming in Dali. This route is the most economical. If you have enough time, even if you can't buy a train ticket in Dali, it is worthwhile to live in Dali New Town for one day. At night, you can also see the night view of Dali and the ball culture buildings with Dali characteristics.
PS: 1。 No matter what souvenirs you buy in Lijiang, you must bargain and give them about a quarter of the asking price.
2.7 yuan can be rented in downtown Lijiang.
Summary:
The route mentioned in this paper, excluding the toll from the starting point to Yunnan, is about 1.300 yuan/person, which basically covers most of the scenic spots of this route. But there may be a slight shortage of food and shelter. The whole journey takes about 10 days.
