Yunnan tourist routes are mainly divided into northwest Yunnan routes and southeast Yunnan routes, among which southeast Yunnan is mainly a photography route, with famous scenic spots such as Dongchuan Red Land, Yuanyang Terrace and Luoping Rape Flower.
It took us 65,438+05 days to complete the punch-in tour of Yunnan Panorama. The most classic punch-in tour is Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Lugu Lake-Shangri-La, which is part of the Yunnan-Tibet line.
General situation of Yunnan
Yunnan is a multi-ethnic region "south of colorful clouds", another way of saying it is named because it is located in "south of Yunling". During the Warring States period, this was the place where Yunnan tribes lived. The highest peak in Yunnan is Meili Snow Mountain in the northwest, and the lowest point is Yuanjiang Valley in Hekou County, which is less than 100 meters above sea level.
Colorful Yunnan has always been a place with unique charm and mystery.
The rich tourist resources and scenic spots among online celebrities have attracted younger brothers and sisters of online celebrities from all over the country to take photos here, which is a paradise for photography and free travel.
Yunnan province is known as "animal kingdom", "plant kingdom" and "non-ferrous metal kingdom". Yunnan is called "Dian" for short, and its Dianchi Lake is located in the south of Kunming, which is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau". It is the largest lake in southwest China and the sixth largest freshwater lake in China.
In this magical land, there are ancient peoples living. Yunnan is the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities in China. Besides Yugur, Liang Dong, Barrow and Hezhe, there are 52 ethnic groups left in Yunnan. Colorful ethnic customs, beautiful virgin forest landscape and mysterious ancient religious culture all add infinite charm to it and make people fascinated.

There are many beautiful scenic spots in Yunnan. The most famous scenic spots are Shilin, Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain, Shangri-La, Lugu Lake, Erhai Lake in Dali, Wild Elephant Valley in Xishuangbanna and so on. However, the scenic spots span a large span and are all around Kunming. Look at the map.
The ancients used "colorful Yunnan" to refer to this mysterious Yunling Plateau. On this red clay plateau, there are Kunming with four seasons like spring, Dali with ancient Nanzhao, Shangri-La with mysterious holy land, Lijiang with soft time, matriarchal daughter country and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The colorful multi-ethnic culture here gives her mysterious and infinite charm. Walking in Yunnan, a line leads a colorful journey!

D2 One-day tour in Dali, and then you can go to Lijiang.
The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple
Dali is full of "wind, flowers, snow and moon", which is deeply influenced by the monsoon climate in the low latitude plateau and has no obvious seasonal change. There are a large number of Bai people living in Dali, and their grand events are concentrated in March and April. At this time, go to dali can feel the rich ethnic customs. Of course, Dali in spring is as colorful as Kunming, and it is a good place to enjoy flowers and spring.
Attractions in Dali: Erhai Lake, Xinhua Tourism Village of Heqing Yindu Water Town, Dali Ancient City, Wase Town of Dali, Dali Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, Cangshan Mountain, Jianchuan Shi Zhongshan Grottoes, Fotu Temple Pagoda, Yuan Shizu Yan Ping Monument, Taihe City Site and Chongsheng Temple Pagoda.
Dali cuisine: Bai nationality's "large bowl", Dali casserole fish, milk vermicelli, raw skin.
Dali has beautiful mountains and rivers and pleasant climate. The flowers in Shangguan, the wind in Shimonoseki, the snow in Cangshan and the moon in Erhai Lake constitute the "four wonders" of Dali, and are known as "Switzerland in the East".
Shangguan, the southernmost part of Erhai Lake, and Xiaguan, the northernmost part of Erhai Lake, are the main wind sources between Canger and Erhai Lake, and now it is the seat of Dali city center. Located in the middle of Erhai Lake, Dali ancient city was once the capital of Nanzhao ancient country and the birthplace of Bai culture.
The snow in Cangshan Mountain, which runs through the summer, is one of the four scenic spots in Dali, which is famous for its "romantic scenery", and it is also a must in Cangshan Mountain landscape. In the cold winter, hundreds of miles are grey and snowy. In the spring of March, there are still piles of silver jade above the snow line. Cangshan's cloud scenery is changeable, and the most famous one is "Wang Fu Cloud and Jade Belt Cloud".
In order to take pictures, several people can be said to have worked hard. Going up and down the mountain in one morning is enough to travel all the way. When we are near the top of the mountain, it is enough to take a photo and leave a footprint.
Lunch begins with the most famous rice noodle crossing the bridge, which is much more distinctive than the rice noodle crossing the bridge made in other places. It is really delicious. After lunch, it is Erhai Lake.
Opposite Erhai Lake is Cangshan Mountain. When you look into Erhai Lake at a glance, perhaps the most beautiful afternoon is to enjoy the sunshine in autumn, the fresh breath of the natural oxygen bar, blow the sea breeze, walk around Erhai Lake, face the sea with your back to the city, leave all the troubles and trifles of life behind you, feel the quiet beauty of Erhai Lake with your heart, and return to inner peace and simplicity.
The ancient city of Dali in the sunset is quite solemn. At first glance, there is a sense of time disorder and going back to the past. This special feeling is hard to feel in other cities. Strong humanistic atmosphere and heavy historical and cultural precipitation are the true portrayal of the ancient city of Dali today.
The architectural style in the city is unified, the scale is appropriate, and the city appearance is antique. Surrounded by running water, every family raises flowers. There are some old houses on the street, with flowers and trees, three wells at a time, and several pots of flowers for each household. Up to now, there are still a large number of buildings in the city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, with temples, academies, churches and other ancient buildings dotted among them, such as Jianggong Temple, Du Wenxiu Shuaifu Ruins, Catholic Church and other historical sites.
I went back to the hotel in the evening and had a good rest. I was on my way early the next morning. Because of the long journey, I went directly to Lugu Lake to the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan, so the journey took a long time.
D3-4 Lijiang to Lugu Lake, and then back to Lijiang
Many travelers think that Old Town of Lijiang is Lijiang, but it is not. Apart from the ancient city, Lijiang is much larger than Old Town of Lijiang, and there are many places worth visiting-such as the mysterious Lugu Lake, the quiet and leisurely Shuhe ancient town, the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain, the beautiful Lashihai and the majestic Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Lijiang customs are mainly represented by "two mountains, one city, one lake, one river, one culture and one customs".
Ershan refers to Yulong Snow Mountain and Laojun Mountain.
One city refers to Old Town of Lijiang.
One lake refers to Lugu Lake.
One river refers to Jinsha River.
A culture refers to Naxi Dongba culture.
A style refers to Mosuo style.
Lijiang belongs to the southwest monsoon climate of the plateau, with large temperature difference between day and night and low overall climate. It is best to go to Lijiang in spring and summer. April-May is the most beautiful season in Lijiang. The lush flowers and trees and the blue sky set each other off like a fairyland. The azaleas in Lijiang bloom in spring, which is very beautiful. Lijiang is rainy in summer and autumn, so tourists should not forget rain gear.
Other attractions: Yushui Village, Shogunate, Guanyin Gorge Scenic Area, Wangulou, Dongba Wanshen Garden and Xiaoluoshui Village.
Lijiang cuisine: Lijiang salmon, Naxi hot pot, chicken bean jelly, chicken stewed tofu, fried pork liver, butter tea, fried bait, Lijiang sparerib hot pot, fried water dragonfly and Naxi traditional candied fruit.
It was already afternoon when we arrived at Lugu Lake. I wanted to catch up on my sleep in the car, but the scenery along the way was so beautiful that I was shocked and couldn't sleep. Of course, the most important thing after arriving at Lugu Lake is to have a good meal.
Then take photos and go straight to Lugu Lake observation deck.
Lugu Lake
The natural form is very beautiful, surrounded by mountains, and islands are hidden or present. The shore of the lake winds and stretches. Numerous alluvial fans open the beach, providing tourists with a natural place to rest and play.
The legendary Lugu Lake, at this moment, the atmosphere is unprecedented quiet, real inner peace. This is not felt in a busy city.
On the back hill of Sancun, there is a winding valley with clear spring water. The small and exquisite "Bodhisattva Cave" is hidden in this valley, which is an excellent place for tourists to nourish their feelings, enjoy the cool and enjoy the scenery of the valley. Lugu Lake is rich in humanistic customs and beautiful in natural scenery.
Lugu Lake in autumn is really unique. I'm really glad that when we came, we could photograph the most beautiful autumn scenery in Lugu Lake. Of course, it's beautiful here in other seasons, but I personally prefer autumn.
The charm of Mosuo girl, the elegance of canoe, and the fishing songs one after another are called "three wonders on the lake". In every Shanwan village in Lugu Lake, you can see those Mosuo girls in beautiful clothes, who are graceful, handsome and beautiful.
Everything in front of me is like a dream, and it is also the truest portrayal of Lugu Lake. It's really an unimaginable shock, and it's even more beautiful than imagined. Colorful Yunnan is really beautiful. It's worth coming.
D5-6 Lijiang to Shangri-La, and then back to Lijiang
Shangri-La has a long history and culture and beautiful natural scenery. It has Pudacuo National Park, Dukezong Ancient City, Gadansong Zanlin Temple and Tiger Leaping Gorge. It is worth recommending.
Of course, because there are so many famous scenic spots in Yunnan, it is inevitable that you will have a choice when you go to Yunnan for the first time. I recommend these three must-see places. First of all, because it is a classic route for many years, the infrastructure and transportation network are perfect, and self-driving is very convenient.
Because there are many places in Yunnan where traffic is really inconvenient, it is really bad for travel to encounter this situation.
Secondly, the route is designed as a line to the greatest extent, and many classic scenery along the way can be fully taken care of. This route is a classic one in Yunnan tourism.
Since Lugu Lake is farther than Shangri-La, you can go directly to Lugu Lake from Dali and then go directly to Lijiang. Passing through Shangri-La, I saw the most desirable scene on the way, and then stopped directly (chartered by car) to take various photos, went down for a walk, took a breath, breathed fresh air, looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and the scenery of Shangri-La's dreamland trip was really beautiful!
In fact, Shangri-La also has a long history and culture, and it is also one of the most distinctive places in Yunnan, with beautiful natural scenery, including Pudacuo National Park, Dukezong Ancient City, Gadansong Zanlin Temple and Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Shangri-La is located in the east of Sanjiang Vertical Valley in Hengduan Mountains on the southeast edge of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Shaluli Mountain Range enters the county seat from Ganzi, Sichuan, and divides into two branches around the east and west sides of the county seat. Jinsha River enters the county from Tuzhaobi, flows south between Sasubi and Shigu in Jinjiang Township, and suddenly turns northeast until Rocky Jixin flows into Ping Zi, Sichuan, and surrounds the south of the county. Shangri-La has become a magnificent place with "Snow Mountain as the city and Jinsha as the pool" with narrow ends and wide middle.
Shangri-La is an inclusive city, which embodies multi-ethnic, Tibetan, Han and other ethnic groups, and its geographical characteristics are complex and changeable. Snow-capped mountains, grasslands, hills, rivers, cities and other natural and human landscapes are perfectly integrated. No matter from the natural features or cultural features, Shangri-La is very inclusive, open, beautiful and pleasant, and it is a must-see place in Yunnan.
So what are the main characteristics of these must-see cities?
Shangri-La in spring and summer has charming scenery, suitable temperature and blooming flowers. Nearly 20 days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Diqing Plateau is colorful, and the dazzling autumn colors will continue on the endless plateau.
Shangri-La cuisine: bittern liver pepper, Weixi bean curd, baogu porridge, Tibetan cakes (fried fruits in Jixiang Street, longan buns, Barca cakes and fried LULU in LULU), buckwheat Baba, tuotuo meat, milk residue, yogurt, solima wine, butter tea and highland barley wine.
Tips for Tibet tourism
1. Shangri-La is Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and Tibetan compatriots usually offer highland barley wine and butter tea to distant visitors. A toast is made with a full glass. When drinking, guests should splash their forefinger into the sky three times and wish' Tashildler' before drinking. If the guest doesn't drink much, he may not drink with the consent of the host. Generally speaking, when making a toast, the host first invites the guest to drink three mouthfuls, then adds three mouthfuls, and then fills a cup.
2. Traveling in Tibetan areas is not allowed to cross vessels and braziers; Warp tubes and wheels shall not be reversed; Don't touch your head with your hands.
3. Manidui is a signpost of God in the eyes of Tibetans, and the Mani stone on it is engraved with six-character mantra or Buddha statue, which is a sacred object of Tibetans. When you meet religious facilities such as monasteries, manidui and stupas, you must go around from left to right. Tibetans consider it a sin to do the opposite. Don't pick up Mani stone at will, and don't sit on Mani pile.
D7-8 Lijiang Tour and Return
When you come to the drunken Miri, Malaysia River, the ancient city is certainly a must-see. Shuhe Ancient Town and Old Town of Lijiang are optional, but we are going to Old Town of Lijiang.
Old Town of Lijiang is said to be a place where we can meet by chance. There are many beautiful women, like us, many of whom come from all over the country to travel. Think about it. If there is a perfect encounter on the trip, it will be a wonderful thing, but just think about it. We are not so lucky!
Old Town of Lijiang is no stranger to everyone. In the early years, it has spread all over the internet and the north and south of the motherland, attracting many younger brothers and sisters of online celebrities to visit, and even many people want to settle here. This shows that Old Town of Lijiang is really attractive.
There are many nightclubs and beautiful women in Old Town of Lijiang. Berry Bros. & Rudd can be seen everywhere in the streets, and many beautiful little sisters and brothers invite pedestrians to drink outside.
Warm reminder, there are also many pits here. From other places, I don't know the situation, so I'd better choose carefully. Of course, there is no intention of deliberately blackening, and individuals are more sensitive.
In the morning, enjoy the scenery of Old Town of Lijiang. Old Town of Lijiang has a long history, which is both a water town and a mountain city. As a minority city with a long history, it has its own unique Naxi style from the overall layout of the city to the engineering buildings.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
After lunch, it is the glacier park. The glacier park located on Yulong Snow Mountain is a typical representative of modern glaciers in Yulong Snow Mountain. It will be much more convenient and exciting to get on the cableway directly in Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area.
It is recommended to eat until you are full, because it is far away and you eat very little, so if you come up hungry, cold and hungry, it is estimated that you will not be able to stand it.
Glacier Park is a park composed of caves and caves eroded by glaciers. It is a landform relic formed by Quaternary glaciers, and is called the Lucerne Glass Palace.
Glacier Park is the best place to ski and play with snow in winter and spring. The scenic spots in summer and autumn are 2.7 kilometers long, and Baishui Glacier 1 was formed 40,000 years ago. The ice pagoda forest, known as the green snow peak, is like huge pieces of ice jadeite embedded among rugged rocks. In the snowy area at an altitude of 4506 to 4800 meters, challenge the limit and surpass yourself; In thousands of years of ice and snow, life and death are far away, purifying the soul.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
The end of the trip is Blue Moon Valley, which is located in the valley north of Ganhaizi at the eastern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain and south of Yunshan Ping. After the snow and ice on the snow-capped mountains melted, they flowed down the cliff and finally formed a crystal clear and extremely sweet river in the deep valley of the upper reaches of Blue Moon Valley. It's really beautiful.
Blue Moon Valley, formerly known as Baishui River. On a sunny day, the color of water is blue and the valley is crescent. Seen from a distance, it looks like a blue moon embedded at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, hence the name Blue Moon Valley. Baishui River is called Baishui River because the silt at the bottom of the lake is white, and the water will turn white when it rains.
The rivers in Blue Moon Valley are blocked by mountains, forming four water surfaces, which are called Jingtan Lake, Blue Moon Lake and Tingtao Lake. Baishuitai is also a must-see place for online celebrities to punch in.
expense
Several of us went together, and the scenic spot ticket+room and board+round trip fare was about 3500 per capita. 4-star hotels, not to mention the accommodation environment, are all online celebrity hotel styles. Of course, I won't miss snacks, and almost all special snacks and delicious food are eaten. I had a very comfortable and free time.
Because many of us, as photographers, like to travel freely. We can go directly by car, which is very free and comfortable. We can stop and leave at any time.
The scenery is beautiful all the way, and photography is completely ok.
Matters needing attention
1, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La all started earlier, developed for a long time and had a relatively high degree of commercialization. It's really difficult to play with traditional groups. Almost getting on the bus to sleep and getting off the bus to take pictures is not fun at all, and it is not suitable for young people.
The infrastructure and traffic conditions of this line are much better than those of famous scenic spots such as Xishuangbanna, and the traffic network of this line is completely barrier-free. Because the traffic in Yunnan is really not as good as that in the mainland, the traffic along this road is still good, and this route will have many famous features, which is really recommended.
Because of the good route, it will be very comfortable and free to charter a car all the way, which is much more fun than the traditional group tour. It is recommended to charter a car.
4, the car can be booked online in advance, find a good home to book in advance, do not need to charter a car at the destination, this will waste a lot of time, and it is really difficult to find, but also very troublesome, sometimes there is no way to go around for a long time, only with the group and the bus, but this really loses the fun of traveling.
The most important thing about traveling is on the road, because many small places on the road have their own characteristics, which are not worse than those in online celebrities, but traditional group tours can't enjoy the fun and happiness on the way.
In this season, you need to bring a thick coat and warm pants. Although Dali and Lijiang are not very cold, it is still very cold on the snowy mountains.
7. Friends who like to take photos and eat with cameras only need to bring their mouths, and those who want to pick up girls can meet in Old Town of Lijiang. See if there's an affair.
8. Yunnan may be a little more chaotic than other places, so prevent the behavior of black tour guides and choose carefully.
9. Arrange the itinerary, scenic spots, car use and accommodation time reasonably, and pay attention to the details, otherwise it will be very bad.
Tips for Yunnan tourism
1. Time and temperature
The best time to travel: "All the year round, different days in ten miles" is an image description of Yunnan's climate characteristics. Yunnan has a complex terrain and diverse climate, but on the whole, it has the remarkable characteristics of "the four seasons are not clear, and the dry and wet seasons are clear".
Kunming and Dali are like spring all the year round, but the best time to travel is spring, with flowers in full bloom and many national festivals.
Lijiang, Lugu Lake and Shangri-La are suitable for spring and summer. Autumn in Diqing Plateau is also colorful, full of autumn colors and charming scenery.
2. Route arrangement to avoid going back.
It is suggested that friends who are new to Yunnan can plan the route first, because it is really difficult to play here without a planned route, and many details are troublesome. It is very important to plan the route in advance when punching in Yunnan.
The important things are said three times, "route planning, route planning, route planning".
Before going to Yunnan, we also learned a lot of raiders and travel notes in advance, made a comprehensive study, made our own raiders and had a good time.
3. Yunnan is the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities in China. Besides Yugur, Liang Dong Township, Barrow and Hezhe, you can find the other 52 ethnic groups in Yunnan, with colorful ethnic customs, beautiful virgin forest landscape and mysterious ancient religious culture, but pay attention to respecting local culture and folk customs.
