After five years as a tour guide in Yunnan, I summarized the free travel guide
Sisters who want to go to Yunnan in March, April and May:
Before going to Yunnan, I was really dazzled by all kinds of online guides, and I have to say that I was even more confused after reading most of them. Some said they could do it, while others said they couldn't, especially in terms of transportation, accommodation and scenic spots. I specially consulted the old aborigines who are local people and made them. ! Summarize the summarized experience and share it with you as much as possible
If you are afraid of coming to Yunnan to step on the pit, you can save it first. Although you can't say that it is 1%, you can avoid 8%-9% of the troubles. Baozi who come to Yunnan for the first time can rest assured that they have just returned from Yunnan and stay up late to summarize

Notes for Yunnan tourism
1. Twelve months of the year can be said to be the peak season for Yunnan tourism, so air tickets and hotels should be booked in advance, especially for fake festivals, which are easy to raise prices and may not be able to grab
2. There are many elite scenic spots in Yunnan, so it is recommended to visit for -1 days, so that you can punch in your favorite scenic spots. It won't be too late
3. Red-billed gulls can be seen in Dianchi Lake from November to March, but not at other times. Besides Dianchi Lake, Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake also have red-billed gulls
4. Erhai Lake must pay attention to sun protection and safety, and don't stop at will to affect traffic, whether renting a battery car or riding a bike.
5. Be sure to invite a guide when you go to Shilin Scenic Area for the first time. Few people often go to the wrong intersection
6. If you want to shoot a big movie in Old Town of Lijiang, don't sleep in. Get up early with few people, and it's convenient to take pictures. You will get a sense of seeing a big movie at random
7. Don't do strenuous exercise in the whole process of climbing Yulong Snow Mountain, which is prone to altitude sickness
8. Tiger Leaping Gorge is prone to mudslides and landslides in July and August, and rolling stones are best avoided when they want to go hiking
. Whenever you come, you should bring one or two warm clothes.
1. Before you leave, you must check the local weather, bring appropriate clothes according to the weather, and remember to bring comfortable flat shoes ~
11. Don't forget to bring your ID card, and remember to bring your student ID card and military ID card. Tickets for some scenic spots can be free or discounted.
12. Don't trust the food shops recommended by taxi drivers, which are both responsible and responsible.
14. Friends who can't eat spicy food or have a bad stomach must prepare gastrointestinal medicine. When ordering food, tell the boss in advance that it should be slightly spicy or ask the boss not to put Chili peppers.
15. Many scenic spots sell fresh-cut fruits, but it is not recommended to buy them, which is too expensive, and it is easy to have diarrhea after eating them for a long time.
16. Tickets for scenic spots can be reserved before going to the small program "Tour Yunnan" in advance. It means that you don't need to make a "nucleic acid test report" when you come to Yunnan, but when you travel, you still need to wear a mask
18, WX or Z FB to search for "Yunnan public transportation code", so you can scan the code with your mobile phone and take the bus or subway
