The main scenic spots in Yunnan are:

1. Kunming, the "Spring City", is the capital of Yunnan Province. As the World Expo is held, Kunming's popularity in the world has been improved. In cities with a population of less than 5 million, there are ethnic minorities such as Han, Yi, Bai, Dai, Hani and Naxi. There are many scenic spots and historical sites in Kunming, and tourist attractions are all over the city. A scenic tourist route with Shilin and Dianchi Lake as the focus and along Anning-Shilin Highway has gradually formed. "The first wonder in the world"-Lunan Stone Forest not only has the beautiful and moving legend of "Ashima", but also the colorful ethnic customs of Sani people; Dianchi Lake, located in the south of Kunming, is the sixth largest freshwater lake in China and is known as the Pearl of the Plateau. Yunnan ethnic village, located on the bank of Dianchi Lake, concentrates the essence of Yunnan ethnic minorities; There are also Daguanlou and Xishan Park ... which constitute the beautiful scenery of Kunming. The origin of Kunming: "Kunming"-usually considered as the name of an ancient tribe, it is presumed to be a transliteration of the language of the Yi ancestors. By the Yuan Dynasty in 1274, Kunming County was established, and Kunming began to become the capital of Yunnan Province. After 1381 AD, Yunnan Fucheng was established. In 1919, the provincial capital was designated as the city, and the Yunnan Municipal Office was established. Since 1922, it has been officially called Kunming City.

The accommodation conditions in Kunming are very mature, including various star-rated hotels, hotels and guest houses. The house price is generally a four-star hotel, and the standard room is above 6 yuan; Three-star hotel with standard rooms above 18 yuan; One-star hotel, standard room around 1 yuan; Rooms with bathrooms in guest houses and hotels range from 4 to 2 yuan, and ordinary beds range from 5 to 3 yuan. Of course, these prices will be somewhat different in the off-peak season. It is best to choose accommodation near railway stations, long-distance bus stations and airports, where the transportation to scenic spots is also very convenient. If you are a backpacker, here are some good places with comfortable environment and low fees.

2. Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province. It is a thousand-year-old city. Nanzhao State in the Tang Dynasty and Dali State in the Song Dynasty used it as the capital. With a long history and culture, Dali has the reputation of "a famous state of literature".

When talking about Dali, people will first think of its scenery, which is famous for its four wonders: wind, flowers, snow and moon. Three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple dotted between Cangshan Lake and Erhai Lake; Five golden flowers and their beautiful legends; And the fisherman's feelings by the Erhai Lake.

Li is the settlement of the Bai people, with a strong Bai customs, and the cultural connotation of the houses with three squares, one zhaobi and four-in-five patios is profound; Three tea of Bai nationality has a long taste. During the whole trip to Yunnan, I'm afraid there is no other place where you can deeply feel the unique Bai customs like Dali.

There are two options for accommodation in go to dali. One is to stay in Xiaguan and stay in a star-rated hotel, such as Manwan Hotel, Cangshan Hotel and Jinda Hotel, which are famous in Xiaguan. This is the political and economic center of Dali, and the tourist reception facilities are relatively perfect. The other is to live in the ancient city of Dali, where there are traditional Bai folk houses. Many private hotels and guest houses on the road to protect the country in the ancient city are all converted from old folk houses, which are antique and have great charm. Self-help tourists can better experience Dali's national culture when they stay here.

Most of the best restaurants in Dali are concentrated in the ancient city. If you want to taste Dali cuisine, you can go to Huguo Road in the ancient city. Western cafes with the characteristics of Bai, Tibetan and other ethnic minorities can be seen everywhere, and many foreign tourists are gathered here.

On the road of protecting the country, many restaurants sell both Chinese and western food. Visitors can taste Yunnan-style dishes and local Bai ethnic dishes, among which Taibailou, which is famous both at home and abroad for its Bai ethnic "three tea" and Tibetan "butter tea", is a representative, and many foreigners come here for tea.

Of course, the attraction of the ancient city is not only the food, but also the quiet and relaxed atmosphere provided by cafes and restaurants here, where people can spend a leisurely afternoon listening to music and drinking cold beer.

Reminder: Almost all cafes provide tourist information and booking services, and some also have bicycles for tourists to rent. In Dali, I want to take a few chic little gifts home to give away, so I don't worry about finding a place. In the ancient city or Shimonoseki, you can buy Four Treasures of the Study, flower pots, vases, lamps and other marble handicrafts made of natural marble.

Bai batik and tie-dyeing with ethnic characteristics are popular handicrafts, which can be seen everywhere in Xiaguan and the ancient city. Deng Chuan Milk Fan in Dali Prefecture is very famous, and it is available in various grocery stores and farmers' markets. Xiaguan Tuocha, shaped like a mushroom cap, has a long-lasting taste and a unique aroma, which is available in various local grocery stores; Dali Sydney, produced on the east bank of Erhai Lake, is white and tender. Jianchuan woodcarving, originally furniture, doors, windows, screens, etc. made by Jianchuan folk craftsmen, has developed some small handicraft carvings in recent years for tourists to carry and sell in various handicraft shops.

Recommended shopping place

Huguo Road: This is a must-visit place for tourists, with a variety of ethnic textiles, handicrafts and local specialties in Yunnan and Tibet. Many antique shops often give visitors unexpected gains.

Also, near butterfly spring, there is a village called Zhoucheng. From the ancient city of Dali or Shimonoseki, there are buses and wagons going there. Visitors may wish to visit the villagers' homes. Almost every one of them has its own small workshop specializing in batik or tie-dyeing. The price is reasonable. The price of a batik cloth is 15 yuan. The local seal carving is also very good.

3. Lijiang is located in the northwest of Yunnan, at the south foot of the Hengduan Mountains, and the Jinsha River, the source of the Yangtze River, runs down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from north to south, makes a big bend in Shigu Town, and then runs into the canyon from south to north. This is the famous bend of the Jinsha River, where the first bay of the Yangtze River flows, forming the world-famous Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Dayan Town, an ancient city, was built in the early Yuan Dynasty, and its former prosperity is still faintly visible. The ancient city is famous for its "every family faces a stream and every family weeping willows", and is known as "Venice of the East" and "Gusu on the Plateau".

I'm afraid the Mosuo people are the only daughter country in the folklore of all countries in the world. There is a beautiful Lugu Lake in Ninglang Yi Autonomous County at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan in the northwest Yunnan Plateau. Mosuo people have lived by Lugu Lake for generations, and they still retain the matriarchal clan marriage system of "men don't marry, women don't marry, combine voluntary and discrete freedom".

Sifang Street in the center of the ancient city is a famous snack street. Dozens of small restaurants are arranged on both sides of the short and narrow street. Basically, each restaurant has rice noodles unique to Yunnan, including casserole rice noodles and boiled rice noodles, so this street is also called "Lijiang Rice Noodles Street".
