Yunnan is a good place to travel. The combination of beautiful scenery and folk culture will not make the journey too monotonous. This year1-February, I went to Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna and other places for a self-help tour. Come back and write something, hoping to give some reference to the donkey friends. There are some incompleteness and inaccuracies. Thank you for your criticism and improvement.
Special reminder: If you have a student ID card, you must bring it. Most scenic spots in Yunnan have discounts.
In winter, you should take a thick coat to Yunnan. There is a great temperature difference between morning and evening. It was quite cold before the sun came out at 8 am. It is very important to prevent sun and moisture in dry weather with strong ultraviolet rays. When shopping at scenic spots, you should bargain, and the big items should be discounted by at least half. Don't buy silverware and jade easily, there are many fakes. Before going to check the altitude of various places, such as Shangri-La, altitude sickness is likely to occur. Older people should pay special attention. Once they have dizziness, headache, nausea, nosebleeds, insomnia and other symptoms, drink hot water first to relieve them. Oxygen inhalation and Tibetan medicine Jinghongtian can obviously improve its symptoms.
Let's talk about scenic spots, itineraries, shopping and so on.
Kunming
Kunming has a pleasant climate in spring. Traveling in winter is a good choice. Although the four seasons are like spring, there is a great temperature difference between morning and evening. It's quite cold before the sun comes out at 8 o'clock in the morning, so you need to bring a thicker coat. The altitude here is not high, so most people don't have altitude sickness.

The Expo Park, a scenic spot in the urban area, has been held for ten years since 1999, with the ticket price within 100 yuan. It is no longer prosperous, and many booths have been withdrawn, but there are still many souvenirs. In addition, both the China Pavilion and the International Pavilion have counters for Yunnan Pu 'er tea, and greenhouses and herb gardens can let people know about some plants. Personally, if you have no special interest in gardening, you don't need time to go to this place.
Dianchi Lake and Dianchi Road are free to walk. This year, Kunming suffered from drought. It hasn't rained for a hundred days. Dianchi Lake has little water and poor water quality. There are flocks of seagulls in winter, so you can get in touch with them by buying some food. There is a ethnic village next to Dianchi Lake, which feels ordinary. If you go to other places in Yunnan to learn about local customs, it is not worth visiting here.
Stone Forest, surrounding scenic spots, ticket price 140 yuan, and there is a bus directly to the scenic spot at the East Bus Station, which takes about two hours by car. There are many Yi people in Shilin County, and the tour guide is also Ashima of Yi people. At that time, I invited a tour guide to see Dashilin and Xiaoshilin for about two hours and had a good time.
Jiuxiang, surrounding scenic spots, ticket price 90 yuan. You can see the Stone Forest in the morning and take a bus to Jiuxiang at noon. The scenic spot mainly looks at the karst cave landscape and karst landform, which is relatively humid and lack of oxygen, and it is not so cold in the cave in the afternoon. Finally, I have to climb more than 300 steps to get out of the cave. Friends with poor physical strength can ride bicycles, 50 yuan. Come back from the cave by cable car, 30 yuan. After playing for about two hours, the ticket price plus ropeway 120 yuan is still a little expensive.

Xiang Qiao Garden's cross-bridge rice noodles and steamed chicken are very good, and Junzi Hot Pot Street is also famous. Dali has gray tiles and white walls, bright clothes and clean city. As the only Bai Autonomous Prefecture in China, the folk celebrations here are full of rich ethnic customs. The famous literary state, the wonderful Buddhist country, embodies Dali's profound cultural heritage.
beauty spot
The scenic spots in Dali are not particularly prominent, most of them are conventional and a little stylized. A one-day tour is enough. I suggest you take a cruise from the lower right to the upper right in the morning, and take a bus to see butterfly spring, the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple and the ancient city in the afternoon.
Erhai Lake, boarding from Shimonoseki, fare 14 1 yuan, there is a performance on board, stopping at two small islands, and arriving at butterfly spring pier in the morning. The water in Erhai Lake is relatively clear, the lake is relatively large, and there are seagulls in winter. In butterfly spring, yo.
Lijiang is a tourist hotspot in Yunnan. Before the Spring Festival, it is one of the few off-season in the whole year. Traveling in the off-season has many advantages. You can see the scenery without worrying about people or accommodation. For example, after the peak season and during the May Day Golden Week, we should be more careful about the water content of shopping. I wonder if the standard room price is zero after the off-season figures?
beauty spot
The ancient city, the ancient city of Lijiang is quite distinctive, with Naxi-style shops and stone roads. There is water in the city and fish in the water. With Sifang Street as the center, all the streets are radial, and there are no scenic spots in the traditional sense. Every street is a landscape. Although it is the off-season, it is very popular here, and many of them are here for shopping. The price of small things is ok, and you must bargain for the expensive ones, at least by half. Yunnan is rich in silverware, and almost every tourist attraction has shops selling silver bracelets, but it is hard to say the real thing. It is said that the local people said that the silver shop in Baisuifang, the ancient city, sold genuine products, so they went there to buy some souvenirs, 13~ 14 yuan one gram, and it costs three or four hundred yuan to buy a bracelet.
Mufu, in the ancient city, the fare is 45 yuan, and the Naxi language guide is free, about one and a half hours. Mufu is the official residence of the former hereditary chief Mufu. The shogunate you are visiting now has been rebuilt. If we can learn more about the history and customs of Naxi folk houses, it is worth seeing.
Shuhe Ancient Town, the surrounding scenic spots, the fare is 30 yuan, about 20 minutes by car from the urban area. Shuhe River is the prototype of Old Town of Lijiang, and its nature is similar to that of Old Town of Lijiang. There are Naxi ancient music performances, free of charge. There are many shops in the street, most of the goods are cheaper than the ancient city, and there are many fewer tourists than Lijiang. It is peaceful and quiet.
Lugu Lake, surrounding scenic spots, ticket price 78 yuan. There is a long-distance bus from the new urban passenger station to Luoshui Lake, which leaves at 9: 0010 in the morning and takes 6-7 hours. Ticket price, 73 yuan. Lijiang to Lugu Lake are all mountain roads. It's really an eighteen-bend mountain road, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. Friends who are carsick must pay special attention. The airport in Lugu Lake is under construction. When I first saw Lugu Lake, I felt that the hard work of riding for a day was worth it. The extremely clear lake clearly reflects the green hills and white clouds when there is no wind, and the Mosuo people living around will warmly welcome you home and warm themselves. This scenic spot is highly recommended by individuals, and it is indeed a good place for quiet practice. When we arrive at Lugu Lake, there will always be a question of whether to stay in Rig or Luoshui. Most of the online suggestions suggest that individual travelers live in Rig, saying that they can feel the Mosuo style. In fact, Rig are all foreign investors who invest here, posting guidance on the Internet. The hotel opened by Mosuo people is Tashi, which is also a hotel. Real Mosuo people don't stay in their homes for tourists. Rig accommodation is more expensive than Luoshui, while Mosuo people basically live in Luoshui.
This is a special description of the itinerary. Personally, I think it is better to visit for three days. On the first afternoon, I went to Luoshui, stayed in Rig in Master Mosuo's car, and attended Mosuo bonfire party in the evening, one in 20 yuan. The next morning, if you are interested, you can take a pig boat to the lake to watch the sunrise. During the day, you can charter a car around the lake, around 200 yuan, mostly carpooling. In the meantime, you can take a cableway to Gemu Goddess Mountain, the fare is 90 yuan, you can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake, and you can also go to the footbridge to learn about xia's marriage. Stay in Luoshui at night, and it is convenient to take a bus on the third morning.
Yulong Snow Mountain is very famous. If you travel, the locals won't advise you to go there. Because of the drought in Yunnan, there is not much snow on the top of the mountain, so only stones are left. I didn't go this time either, but there was a distant view on the way to Shuhe ancient town.

There are many snacks in Lijiang. Lijiang Baba chicken bean jelly, wild yam and ribs hot pot are all famous. In fact, Lijiang also produces rainbow trout, so friends who like salmon can try it. The apples in Lugu Lake are dry, fragrant, crisp and delicious. You can take some, but not too much. The taste is greatly reduced when it is wet. There are many bars near Lugu Lake, especially
Shangri-La, a place where Tibetan immortals live, is the most beautiful in May, and the winter is really not very good and very cold. It is 3200 meters above sea level here, and altitude sickness is likely to occur. Personally, I think altitude sickness is related to age. Young and old people should pay special attention. Once they have dizziness, headache, nausea, nosebleeds, insomnia and other symptoms, drink hot water to relieve them. Oxygen inhalation and Tibetan medicine Jinghongtian can obviously improve symptoms. There is Pudacuo National Forest Park, which gives people a natural shock. There are wetlands and Ira grassland, but it's still summer to see the wind blowing grass and low cattle and sheep. -Songzanlin Temple, where there is a Tibetan Buddhist temple known as the "Little Potala Palace". At present, the Daxiong Hall is under construction and is not open to the public. Shangri-La also has an ancient city with a large prayer wheel on the edge.
Meili Snow Mountain, about six hours' drive from Shangri-La, is beautiful in winter. The name "Shangri-La" originally originated from Yubeng Village at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, but it is a pity that no road was built this time.

Shangri-La is relatively cold, where hot pot is the mainstay, highland barley wine and carved plum wine can warm up, and butter tea, yak meat and Baba milk residue are all delicious.
Xishuangbanna
The most famous are tropical rain forests and Dai family meals. It is more comfortable to come to Banna in winter. In the morning, the valley is foggy and cool and pleasant. You can wear light-colored clothes at noon, and you can't go out in summer, especially at noon. The ultraviolet rays are particularly strong here, so you must do a good job of sun protection. I have been using SPF30 sunscreen this time, and I have been in Yunnan for more than ten days, but I still got a lot of sunburn.

Tropical Botanical Garden is located in Huludao, Mengla County, about two hours' drive from Jinghong City. Sponsored by China Academy of Sciences, it focuses on the study of the East Zone, and the West Zone is for tourists to visit. This is really a scenic spot worth visiting. It combines ornamental and popular science. The plants in the yard are not only tropical plants grown locally, but also rare species transplanted from many Southeast Asian countries. It is suggested to take a trip to sightseeing bus first, and Miss A Dai will explain the route for about three hours. After that, it would be better if you walked and watched it again. Banna's tropical landscape is very representative here. To tell the truth, if you visit here for a day, there is no need to go to Wild Elephant Valley and Primitive Forest Park. The commercial atmosphere in these two places is too strong, which makes people feel uncomfortable and does not enjoy the tranquility of tropical landscape.
Wild Elephant Valley is very famous. There are more than 200 wild elephants in the nature reserve, but few tourists can see them during the day. Fortunately, generally speaking, just listen to the cries of wild elephants, look at footprints and fresh feces. If you are interested in wild elephants, stay at the Tree Hotel.
Primitive forest park, want to see plants, don't go here, have been to tropical botanical garden, just open a passage in the rainforest and feel the atmosphere of primeval forest. It's ok to show that peacocks fly. Look at dozens of peacocks flying. Generally speaking, you can go to the Wild Elephant Valley in the morning and the Forest Park in the afternoon.

There are many Dai's small buildings here. Dai's food may be a little unaccustomed, but it's really delicious. Listening to the barbecue in Manzhouli is the main way, such as grilled fish with citronella, drying it, and vegetables baked with banana leaves all have a strange smell. Pineapple rice is sweet and delicious. You must try it. There are abundant tropical fruits here. It is cheaper to buy medicine at the fruit market. Sweet corn, egg fruit, jackfruit, prickly horn and so on are all good fruits.
