After staying in Yunnan for a week, my suggestion is

Suggestion 1: It's best not to go to Yunnan for a deep tour alone. It's very troublesome to carpool without anyone.

suggestion 2: get some motion sickness pills in advance. The scenic spots in Yunnan are far away, so you often have to sit in the car. Those who are prone to motion sickness are best to take some.

Recommendation 3: Even if the sun is not strong, the ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are still very strong, so take sunscreen products (sunscreen, sunglasses, parasols, hats, ice sleeves .......).

suggestion 4: if you are coming to Yunnan for the first time, recommend the most classic route: top ten principles of Kunming-Lijiang-Lujie Lake-Shangri-La. Concentrated scenic spots and convenient transportation.

recommendation 5: Kunming is recommended as the first stop, because there are many flights and air tickets are cheap. As the transportation hub of Yunnan, you can arrange the itinerary well.

Recommendation 6: Don't catch a cold before going to Yulong Snow Mountain and Shangri-La! It is dangerous to go to these two places with a cold, so it is necessary to wear more warm clothes and prepare cold medicine.

suggestion 7: book the ticket of 14 yuan cableway in advance online to go to Yulong Snow Mountain, so that you can go to the 468m observation deck. 1 yuan mountain entrance fee is bought at the first entrance of the scenic spot.

Recommendation 8: Many people go to the Snow Mountain in peak season. If you don't book the ropeway ticket in advance, you may not be able to enter the scenic spot! Remember to grab tickets at gz h "Lijiang Tourism Group" in advance.

suggestion 9: before going to the snowy mountain, buy oxygen bottles in the urban area or the ancient city, which are available in pharmacies or tuan, about 15-2 bottles, and 6-1 bottles on the snowy mountain are valuable.

recommendation 1: one oxygen bottle per person is enough! ! Don't be fooled by the driver into saying that one bottle is not enough, take it with you and buy a bottle of dozens of dollars.

Recommendation 11: It is still quite cold on Yulong Snow Mountain. If you want to wear down jackets, you can rent one in official website and one in 28 yuan.

Recommendation 12: For scenic spots like Cangshan Mountain and primeval forest, don't challenge unfamiliar routes alone. If you meet someone on the road and tell you not to go inside, turn around quickly.

suggestion 13: Dali is in the south of Lijiang, which is about 2 hours' drive. Carpooling is much more convenient than moving trains in any case, especially living by Erhai Lake. Dali is standing in the urban area, which is not close to many hotels and homestays by Erhai Lake. In short, carpooling is recommended.

Recommendation 14: Come around the Erhai Lake in Dali, and you can visit almost all the scenic spots, such as Caicun, Haishe Park, Huahai, Wetland Park, Xizhou, white tables and chairs with double corridors, glass balls, and the realm of the sky. All kinds of online celebrity photos are taken by the Erhai Lake.

Recommendation 15: Remember to wear sunglasses around Erhai Lake. The sunlight refracted by the lake is so dazzling that it is almost blind.

Recommendation 16: There are many roadsters rented around Erhai Lake, but the road conditions are complicated, and the water in the car rental line is deep, so it is not recommended for novices to rent, and there are many bends, so be careful not to get stuck. It is more recommended to charter a car, and it is better to have a jeep with the group.

Recommendation 17: Yunnan has a high altitude as a whole, and the ultraviolet rays are much stronger than those in plain areas. Don't hold your own sun protection mentality! ! We rode an electric car along Erhai Lake for a long time without shading, and our face was red and painful when we went back to bask in the sun at night.

Recommendation 18: The climate in Lijiang and Shangri-La is very dry, and the skin is prone to peeling. It is best to wear a hydrating mask, drink more hot water and eat fruits to keep moisture.

Recommendation 19: You don't have to go to Dianchi Lake to see red-billed gulls in April and May. The season to see red-billed gulls in Dianchi Lake is at the end of March at the latest.

Recommendation 2: Shops in Qixing Street and Mahua Street are only for tourists, so don't go.

suggestion 21: don't believe the horse farm recommended by the aunts of Lashihai Laker. It's really expensive. Look for more comparison.

suggestion 22: many bars in the ancient city of Dali have pits, so don't be dragged in by the young lady at the bar door. Watch yourself on the beauty tour and place an order.

recommendation 23: Yunnan is a tourist destination for everyone almost all the year round. Many scenic spots are recommended to make an appointment in advance, otherwise it may be restricted.

Recommendation 24: The romantic wine in the pub is very expensive, and the taste is nothing special. There is no need to buy it out of curiosity.

recommendation 25: it is not recommended to book a room in the scenic spot during the peak season. You can book a room only one or two kilometers away from the scenic spot, which is not so expensive and noisy.

Recommendation 26: Don't trust low-priced "day trips" outside stations and scenic spots. Most of them are pits, which may take you to unknown scenic spots or some shopping shops.

Recommendation 27: Don't take a boat in Pudacuo Park. It is recommended that hiking is more comprehensive.

recommendation 28: when you go to a store to eat, you must choose a store with a clearly marked price! It's not enough just to have the name of the dish, and the price should be clearly written on the menu. If not, turn around and go.

recommendation 29: don't buy 1 pieces of 1-pack flower cakes, which are not delicious. Although the freshly baked flower cakes are more expensive, they taste better and smell better.

Recommendation 3: Ignore the monks who talk to you on the temple road. They will give you a string of transfer bracelets and so on, and then say "Happy" to you, which means giving money.

suggestion 31: the most comfortable way for Banna to play is to wear slippers and run over the road. You can bring a pair of slippers at the night market.

Recommendation 32: There are many holes in the Dai costume in Xingguang Night Market. Read more relevant notes before considering whether to ask someone to take it or take it yourself.

suggestion 33: don't believe that the free tea tasting and merit money in the temple are basically pits, saying that they are free but will eventually ask you for money.

recommendation 34: if you have a student id card, you must bring it with you. many scenic spots offer half-price discounts to students.

recommendation 35: taxi drivers will recommend some hotels and restaurants for reference only. They all cooperate to get kickbacks, and they will spend more money if they go.

suggestion 36: on the way to some temples in Yunnan, you may meet monks who talk to you. Ignore them and try to get you to pay, which is very annoying.
