Scheme route: Starting from Lijiang, Yunnan, heading southwest, passing through Dali, Tengchong and Ruili, and returning to Kunming, the whole journey takes cars as the main means of transportation, with a journey of over 1,5 kilometers. Lijiang and Kunming were chosen as the starting and ending places of the holiday, because both places are the only places to travel to Yunnan. Of course, you can also go the other way, starting from Kunming and ending in Lijiang

Today's itinerary is Heilongtan Park in Lijiang, then rent a bike to ride to Baisha Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town, and return to Old Town of Lijiang in the evening.

In Dali, the most common snack is one of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan: a milk fan made of milk and sold as a fan. It is recommended to go to the milk fan shop opposite the post office, and the price is not expensive, RMB 2 each, but the smell of milk is a bit strong, which may not be used to by some people.

Tengchong is an important town in western Yunnan with peculiar landscape and rich history and culture, also known as the polar border town. She is the focus of this holiday, and I believe that visitors here will not be disappointed, which is why I specially arranged to spend two days here.

Local villagers string eggs with straw ropes and throw them in for cooking, which is one of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan. There are also some special hot fountains in the scenic spot, such as Birthday Well, Pearl Spring, Toad Spring, Eyeglasses Spring and Drum-singing Spring, which are very strange.

3,346 soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force who died to recover Tengchong are buried in the National Memorial Cemetery, 1km southwest of the county seat. The cemetery has a wide influence at home and abroad and is a national key cultural relics protection unit. Personally, as a Chinese with a historical conscience, we should all come here to worship!

There are taxis or shuttle buses to Tengchong Volcano National Geopark, and they all leave after they are full. The taxi is RMB 15 for one person and the shuttle bus is RMB 7 for one person. Because of the bad road conditions, it takes 4 minutes to travel. It is recommended to take a taxi. If you take the shuttle bus, get off at Mazhan country. There are 97 volcanic bodies in Tengchong Volcano National Geopark, which is the largest dormant natural volcanic group in China. Admission is RMB 3, including three scattered scenic spots, Dakong Mountain, Heiyu River and Columnar Joint. The last two are far from the ticket office, so you need to take a bus to go there separately. If time is tight, you don't have to go. The relative elevation of Dakong Mountain is only over 1 m, and it can be climbed up the stairs built by volcanic rocks. You can even walk down to the crater after reaching the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, you can see the surrounding volcanoes. After visiting the Volcano Park, return to Tengchong the same way, with a fare of RMB 15 and a lunch of RMB 15.
In the afternoon, I took the plane to beihai wetland near Ximen Station, and the fare was about RMB 5. As one of the 33 national key wetlands in beihai wetland, it is also the only national wetland reserve in Yunnan Province.

Today, I will end my wonderful trip to Tengchong and go to Ruili, a city with rich Dai characteristics in Yunnan.

Breakfast is RMB 6, and then take a taxi to Tengchong Bus Terminal for RMB 5. There is a shuttle bus to Ruili at 1:1 in the morning. Ticket ￥36, CMB, the car is in poor condition, so I suggest you take the front seat. It takes nearly 6 hours by car. At noon, the bus will stop at the intersection of Husamang East in Longchuan. There are many shops selling household knives at the intersection. After buying them, you can ask the boss to mail them home directly to save trouble on the road. Interested tourists can buy it. After the transfer, the car will turn over a mountain and turn very quickly. It is suggested that tourists with motion sickness should take motion sickness medicine in advance. At about 16 pm, you can arrive at Ruili Bus Terminal. After getting off the bus, it is recommended to stay at Limin Hotel in Nanmao Street, with a double standard room of ￥4.
Ruili is only separated from Myanmar by a river. In the urban area, you can see many Burmese people wearing skirts regardless of gender. Very exotic. Friendly reminder: Ruili is close to the Golden Triangle and a national trade port, and the people coming and going are more complicated. Be sure to be vigilant and go to less remote streets after dark.
Ruili is located in the south subtropical zone, with high temperature all year round. You can go to the Bubu cold drink shop under Nanyang Hotel to eat special cold drinks. The waiters in this shop are all Burmese. I recommend you to taste the exotic cold drinks: Boludo. The fried rice in the store is also very distinctive. Cold drinks cost ￥1. There are no scenic spots in Ruili except the Anjin Duck Tower, which are scattered outside the city. Nong 'an Golden Duck is not far from Talinanmao Street, and you can walk there without tickets.
In the evening, you can go to the night market of Huafeng Wholesale Market, where there is a special Thai-Myanmar food store, and you can also eat authentic Dai people's pies, at a price of RMB 4.
