My wife and I want to go to Lijiang, Kunming after March 23rd. Where can I buy discount tickets? What are the interesting places?

8.30 Sat。 Jingkunyu

Get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, go out for a taxi at 7 o'clock on time, arrive at the airport at 7: 45, and complete all boarding procedures at 8 o'clock. Now I am sitting in the waiting hall, I can board the plane at 8: 20, and take Hu 7165 (8: 50-12: 00) (970 yuan) to start my trip to Yunnan.

Arrive at Kunming Wujiaba Airport at noon 12, and take a taxi to Jinhua Hotel, No.98 Beijing Road (288 yuan/standard room, including double breakfast). 10 ate more on the plane, so lunch was saved and the hotel was closed. Take a taxi to Xishan Forest Park at 2pm (ticket to 30 yuan) (it's raining heavily). Get off after entering the mountain, and pass through Sanqing Pavilion-Luohanyan-Xiaoniuyan-Zhenwutang-Notre Dame-Ciyuntang, etc. Until Longmen overlooks Dianchi Lake. There is Nie Er's tomb at the foot of the mountain. Go in to pay homage. An aunt showed us some songs written by Nie Er and saw his life introduction exhibition. After going down the mountain, I walked all the way along the mountain road to Taihua Temple and walked alone in the Woods beside Taihua Ancient Road. Dense Woods, natural oxygen bar! The path is about half an hour's walk (about 1.9 km). Finally, I got off the expressway and walked to Huating Temple, but it was closed. Stop a bus bound for Liangjiahe (5 yuan), and suddenly it rains heavily and it is muddy all the way; After arriving at Liangjiahe, I took a taxi directly back to the hotel and had dinner at the hotel at 8 o'clock (I was already hungry).

I had a good time in Xishan this afternoon. It's interesting that the rain has stopped. When I climbed to the top of the mountain, it was raining, and the whole picture of Kunming City and Dianchi Lake was close at hand. Taihua Temple is quiet and pleasant, and the sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard is refreshing; Taihua ancient road is quiet, with fresh air and lush trees. Only later, because it was getting late, I felt hungry and tired, and there was no one over the mountain road, which was very exciting. The only regret is that I didn't get authentic Yunnan snacks for dinner. Hotel shops bully customers, and the food is expensive and small, which is a loss!

I want go to dali first thing in the morning. The journey is short, but it coincides with the rainy season. It rains all day, which is a little annoying. I hope the clouds clear and the sun clears!

8.3 1 sun. Kunming-Dali Xiaoyu

Hotel buffet breakfast at 7: 30 a.m. Then check out at 8: 30 and drag your luggage to the South Railway Station, 50 meters away from the hotel (very close and convenient). 90 yuan buys an express ticket from Kunming to Dali at 9 o'clock.

There is moderate rain in Kunming today, and now it is really rainy in Yunnan. It rains every day and the sun never comes out. I just hope it rains less, that would be great. Now I'm sitting in the waiting room of the bus station waiting for the bus. I was so full at the buffet in the morning that I secretly "packed" and missed lunch again.

I wanted to take the 8: 30 bus, but I didn't. Except for the one at 8 o'clock, the earliest one is only 9 o'clock, Daewoo. The one at 8 o'clock is Volvo (105 yuan). It's annoying that ticket sellers keep coming around to sell after entering the station!

Now that we have got on the bus, there are three foreign tourists in the front row. Listen to them talking happily about their trip (but I didn't catch anything). I'm sitting here keeping a diary of my trip, and I feel like a "donkey friend" when my cow head keeps turning over the newspaper. Just now, Niu Tau called the "Qingxin Hospital" in Dali to reserve a room, which is very good. It is said that an old gentleman answered the phone with a friendly attitude. Listen to netizens say it's an old couple's inn, the best in the ancient city, as if it were a descendant of Duan!

The car drove for five and a half hours and arrived at Shimonoseki Station at half past two. This winding mountain road makes me dizzy and a little carsick. The car stopped at Chuxiong for lunch. In fact, you should take the sleeper train at night, which will not be too hard and save time on the road. After taking a taxi for half an hour, I arrived at the ancient city of Yuer Park, called "Qing Xin Yuan". Ten minutes later, Mr. Duan, the host, came to meet us and finally arrived. We chose the most expensive 90 yuan standard room upstairs. After talking, we had a rest. In fact, more than five hours' drive in the morning has made us a little tired and just want to lie in bed. At 4: 30, we cheered up and walked all the way to the Cheng Nan Building, which is close to us, and boarded 2 yuan City. It's meaningless and very small. And take a carriage to and from 10 yuan, to the Three Pagodas Reflection Garden (tickets to 4 yuan). Sure enough, the scenery is beautiful. After taking the photos, I came out and returned to Cheng Nan Building by carriage. Then stop and walk all the way along the ancient city to the North Tower, just like 2 yuan. The tower is very big and wide, because it is already night, and there are not many tourists and it is quiet. You can see a tower from a distance. After coming down, I went shopping along Fuxing Road. There are many tie-dyeing and handicrafts there, which are very ethnic. At the same time, we booked a ticket to Lijiang at 3 pm tomorrow at Tengxiang Bus Terminal next to Jinhua Hotel. Volvo 50 yuan/person is very convenient. Later, I went to a small shop at the corner of Yuer Road for dinner: I ate casserole fish, white gourd chicken and sauce-fried snail meat, which cost more than 50 yuan. Large quantity, good taste, not bad. (I have also tasted the local snacks on the roadside: the milk fan smells like milk, sour and not delicious; There are also bait slices, which are a bit like pancakes and taste good. ) I went to foreigner street to see the street view again. There are indeed many bars, but it's off-season and not very popular. I returned to the inn after 9 o'clock and booked a cableway ticket to Cangshan tomorrow with the owner. Just now we said we felt it for several days, but it was only two days. Maybe we are tired, but this is just the beginning!

The weather in Dali is good today. The weather is sunny, it doesn't rain, and it is warmer than Kunming.

9. 1 Monday. Dali-Lijiang turns cloudy to sunny

Get up at half past seven in the morning. I didn't sleep well last night. Go downstairs and have breakfast at the inn. When I went down the stairs, my foot slipped and a horse slipped and sat on the ground, which was very painful. Breakfast is a little rice porridge, a small bowl of pickles, two steamed buns, one egg for each person, 4 yuan. After dinner, I bought a ropeway ticket for 60 yuan/Ren in the inn. (Actually, only 50 yuan/person is needed at Tengxiang Bus Terminal. ) We started after 8 o'clock, walked to the No.4 bus terminal next to Beicheng Building, and got off at Gantong Temple Station, which was very convenient. And it's really not close to the foot of the ropeway with a small 5 yuan. Take the cableway up the mountain, see the Bixi clearly, and then ride up the mountain with another father and son, and 30 yuan/people go back and forth. It's really far. About 45 minutes later, we got off the bus and continued hiking along Dai Yu Road. We walked for about 1 hour, and it was really charming to see the scenery while walking. Finally came to the seven dragons female pool. We only went to Erlong Nvtan and began to return, because our ticket to Lijiang was at 3 pm, and it was nearly 1 when we went down the mountain. It's another hard journey. Fortunately, the beautiful scenery kept us from loneliness and fatigue, but hunger kept coming (we only ate a few biscuits on the mountain). Finally, I saw the caravan waiting for us at the foot of the mountain, got on the horse and went all the way down the mountain. Then we got on the ropeway and asked the driver to meet us under the ropeway. At this time, 1 has been exceeded. We simply spent 10 yuan asking him to pull us directly back to the north gate, then directly back to the inn, picked up our luggage and left until we reached the passenger station. Oh, my God! At 2: 35, there is still time. Let's pack. We went to a nearby shop and ate a bowl of bait silk, a big pot of 4 yuan and a small pot of 3 yuan. It is spicy and fragrant, and the food is delicious. We had a good time and finally filled our stomachs. (It seems to be a small couple's shop, diagonally opposite the foreigner street inn. The girl made it carefully and put a lot of vegetables and ingredients in it. By the way, I chose "Qing Xin Yuan" because I saw the strong recommendation from netizens, but I didn't feel as good as I said (is it suspected of "child care"? ), and it is far from the center of the ancient city, such as foreigner street and south gate, which is relatively far away. Actually, I might as well live in Huguo Street. Later, I heard from a couple in Guangzhou that they lived in "Yu 'an Garden", which is also a standard room, and just came to 70 yuan. Obviously, our life is expensive.

10 at three o'clock, we got on a bus and dragged the four of us out of the city. At about 3: 30, we finally got on a Volvo bus and fell asleep all the way. Three hours later, we arrived in Lijiang at half past six.

When I got off the bus, I got into a taxi driven by a couple of Naxi drivers and agreed to go to the ancient city for 5 yuan. After arriving at the waterwheel, capable Naxi women helped us carry heavy boxes around the ancient city and found the inn. The original favorite "Huamaguo Inn" is too expensive. The standard room 160 yuan is the same price. That's awesome! This is still the off-season. I visited several hotels, but I was not satisfied. Although there are many inns in the city, they are either expensive or have no separate bathrooms. Finally, I checked into the "Wangchengge Inn" recommended by her, not far from Sifang Street, in an alley near Bar Street, next to Xinhua Street Sub-district Office. It only opened for one month, with new facilities and comfortable quilts. It cost 100 yuan/day. I thought I wouldn't go to this kind of inn that doesn't face the street, but later I found that the inn is full every day. Except what we introduced, many of them were found by ourselves. Everyone thinks this price is not bad. A girl in Taiwan Province province who lives next door said that she found more than a dozen and thought this one was not bad. Except that the yard is not very beautiful, everything else is not bad. The balcony on the second floor overlooks the ancient city. The boss is also very enthusiastic. ) We are too lazy to carry big boxes around. People are backpackers, and we look silly and rustic. Get everything done at 8 pm. We think this Naxi woman is practical and not easy, so we decided to rent her car to Yulong Snow Mountain tomorrow, 100 yuan/day.

At 8 o'clock, we took a walk in the street, went to the waterfront restaurant in front of Jiannanchun Square-Jiannanchun Wen Yuan, and had a sumptuous dinner: bean jelly with chicken, fried mushrooms and fish in sour soup, more than 60 yuan, very satisfied!

After dinner, I walked a few blocks. There are many people "jumping" in Jiannanchun Square and Sifang Street, mostly locals. Because the road is not very familiar, we have long been like "Granny Liu entered the Grand View Garden", amazed by the excitement, romance and petty bourgeoisie of the ancient city, and left Dali in the early morning behind. I am attracted by various ethnic handicrafts, and I can't stop and linger. Just because I don't want to be too tired tonight, I will keep my shopping plan for the next few days.

Although we have just arrived, we can't help liking the atmosphere of Lijiang. Like a dream. It's really a paradise for petty bourgeoisie!

9.2 Tuesday. Lijiang-Yulong Snow Mountain Rain

Get up at 7: 20 in the morning and have breakfast near Sifang Street at 8: 00: Lijiang Baba, porridge and eggs. Go back to the inn at 8: 30 and prepare to leave. A girl from Taiwan Province next door hitchhiked to the Snow Mountain with us.

First, go to Yushui Village (30 yuan, the ticket is too expensive, and it is only a Naxi shanzhai)-Dongba Shenyuan (10 yuan), and that long painting is also worth seeing. It's interesting to take a photo with the old Dongba at the gate, but it's a bit "exciting")-Yulong Snow Mountain (the ticket is 42 yuan, and the maintenance fee of the ancient city is 40 yuan, which is really not cheap). It's been raining, and it's getting worse. The ropeway in Maoniuping starts from 60 yuan. After going to Maoniuping (more than 3,800 meters above sea level), I took the plank road. I like it very much and took many photos. It's just that the fog on the mountain is too heavy. You can't see anything at all in the snow-capped mountains. It's a pity, but I don't mind much. I think it's quite fun. We went to Tibetan homes to keep warm, eat roasted yak meat and drink butter tea. Tibetans are still very enthusiastic. It rained harder and harder as we went down the mountain. What a mess! There is no need to go to the cableway in this weather. It is also a waste of money to go, and nothing can be seen. The locals say it's best to come in March and April, and you can see snow and glaciers. Then I went to Baishui River to take photos and came back. I bought a ticket to Kunming at 8 pm the day after tomorrow at the booking point next to the waterwheel in the ancient city. You must put on more clothes and take an umbrella when you go to the Snow Mountain. For example, we just brought an umbrella, or we rented another one at the inn. )

It was past 5 o'clock when I got back to the inn. After being caught in the rain, I feel cold and my head hurts. I suspect altitude sickness. Rest until after 7 o'clock and go out for dinner. Go to Dashiqiao snack bar, eat Naxi grilled fish, blow liver, miscellaneous vegetables, vermicelli sausage and miscellaneous sauce rice noodles. The environment is very good and the taste is good, more than 50 yuan. After dinner, we took a walk in Sifang Street, and then strolled to Bar Street. Drinking ginger cola, hot chocolate and brandy, eating popcorn in the "water building" and enjoying a petty bourgeoisie bar feeling.

9.3 Wednesday. Lijiang-Tiger Leaping Gorge is clear

It's already 12 in the evening, and I didn't come back until 1 1 in Bar Street. The tauren drank too much, collapsed in bed and shouted that his stomach was uncomfortable. He can't drink much and insists on bluffing with him. I said he was "paying for his sins"!

Today is a rare sunny day in Lijiang, and the sun is finally expected by me. I was so angry that I could see the snow-capped mountains yesterday (actually, not necessarily). Still get up at 7: 20 in the morning and have breakfast at the inn at 8: 00: porridge, rolls and milk, 5 yuan for everyone. The driver will pick us up at 8: 30. Today, it's just the two of us going to Tiger Leaping Gorge (most of the others go to Zhongdian for two days; Others went to Lugu Lake for three days. We decided to leave some regrets and visit these two places next time. ) The chartered car agreed to 180 yuan/day and changed to a female driver. It takes 2 hours from Lijiang to Tiger Leaping Gorge, and it takes about 1 1 point to reach Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tickets to 30 yuan/person, the scenery is really spectacular. We sat on the shore and ate the leftover "enema powder" for lunch last night. After going down, another man bought a corn cob. Then go to the first bend of the Yangtze River and Shigu (2 yuan ticket), which means nothing. We were all sleepy on the way back. It was past 4 o'clock when I returned to Old Town of Lijiang, so I went back to the inn to have a rest. Go out for dinner at half past six. Niutou wanted to change to a new restaurant, so we went to a restaurant called "Xi Goya". As a result, the food was expensive and not authentic, which made me very dissatisfied and lost my appetite.

After dinner, I started shopping in the roadside shops. I bought three shawls (20-35 yuan) and three small square towels (one in 5 yuan) at once. Later, I went to see Naxi woodcarving. We liked it very much and bought a wooden ladle engraved with Dongba. There are no other plans for tomorrow, just continue to take photos and go shopping in the ancient city. I put on my new striped shawl and immediately attracted the attention of some passers-by. Later, Niutou suggested going to a bar, and we walked into the most popular "Sakura House". He ordered Dali beer, and I was a glass of "imported marble", sipping and observing all kinds of people around me. The most striking thing is three girls from Sichuan, who obviously hang around here every day, smoking, drinking, gambling on dice and fishing for Kai Zi. He is good-looking and can play (there are many Sichuanese in Lijiang). But I really can't agree with their behavior. We can only play here once in a while for one night, but I can't live such a life of partying every night. How boring! I can only be a petty bourgeoisie, rest in this paradise for a while, and then fly back to my home.

Thursday, September 4. Clear Lijiang-Kunming

Today is another sunny day, which should be said to be the best day since we arrived in Lijiang! I didn't set an alarm clock yesterday. I have to sleep until I wake up naturally today.

Other guests got up before 8: 00 in the morning and were awakened by the sound of opening and closing the door. Sunlight is projected through the window lattice. Get up after 8 o'clock, pack things, and linger until 9 o'clock to go out. Go to Dongjie and Dashuiche first. On a sunny day, I finally felt the scorching sunshine and blue sky on the plateau, and the distant snow-capped mountains (although it didn't snow) finally emerged from the clouds, which was not easy. I finally saw the snow-capped mountains, so I went to take pictures. After a while, it disappeared into the clouds again. Then we visited the ancient city. Many stores have just opened, and we bought three Dongba T-shirts (25 yuan/piece). I have a crush on a windbreaker and a schoolbag, both of which are too expensive to make a deal. Then 1 1, we went to Dashiqiao snack bar to eat mixed frog skin, fried chicken fir, miscellaneous sauce soybean, ham soybean and Sanchuan ham. Have a full meal. 12 Return to the inn, pack your things, check out and leave your luggage. After coming out again, I went to buy woodcuts (1 colored woodcut 40 yuan, another woodcarving is more complicated 120 yuan), some Dongba small wooden plates (5 yuan/one) and two wind chimes (10 yuan/one), and really came home with a full load. We want more. We like everything we see and want to buy everything we see.

It was so hot that I didn't open an umbrella in the morning and was dizzy by the sun. We strolled to the bar street with our things, sat down at a wooden table called Sifang Bar by the river and made a pot of Sanqi tea. I keep a diary here, and Niutou looks through the book Soft Time in Lijiang that I bought a few days ago. On him lay a kitten shaped like a leopard, dozing lazily there. Everything is so comfortable and leisurely, and everything is so perfectly satisfied: small bridges and flowing water, blue sky and white clouds, quaint black tile red walls on the street, breeze blowing from the shore, weeping willows, blue batik cloth on the wooden table, tinkling bells and melodious cucurbit music ringing in my ears from time to time. This is a kind of life: a kind of life that we dream and yearn for, finally realized. Lijiang, a lazy, comfortable and enjoyable place, is lazy and sweet, which always makes people feel so unreal, like in a dream. Goodbye, my dear Lijiang!

On the flight from Lijiang to Kunming at 8 o'clock tonight, we are going to have dinner in Bar Street, and then we booked the driver's car, starting from 70 yuan and arriving at the airport. The luggage is getting heavier and heavier, and we can't carry it. Travel is coming to an end, happy, happy and satisfied!

After 5 o'clock, I went to the "Sakura House" for dinner with bags of souvenirs. Finally, I bought homespun trench coats and bags, all in Xinyi Street. The girl didn't bargain. It was made of 45 yuan homespun. Later, she heard that it was the only shop in the ancient city that didn't bargain, because everything sold in the shop was handmade by women in Yongsheng County, a poor county in Yunnan. I found that the things sold in the store are really more expensive than those in other places. Every customer who shops here can leave a message in the guest book and give them some suggestions. I also wrote a few words, hoping that netizens will have the opportunity to buy something there and make some contributions to the women in Yongsheng County. Address: Jishan Lane, Xinyi Street. We each ordered a Korean set meal (it is said that the proprietress of this shop is Korean). The guy in this shop is very interesting. The boys are all dressed as bartenders in ancient China, and one of them looks like a bartender with a round head and a round brain.

After dinner, we went back to the inn to get our luggage and chatted with our boss. Very pleasant. At 6: 20, the driver came to pick us up. When he arrived, two boxes, two backpacks and the other travel bag were full. I would also like to say here that the Naxi people we met in these three days are all very good. Both the driver and the innkeeper are enthusiastic and talkative. I think their service is more and more standardized, and they can understand the needs of customers, unlike some netizens. ) Arrived at the airport at 7: 10, and now I am waiting for Lijiang-Kunming MU44 18B flight (420 yuan). Originally scheduled to take off at 8 o'clock, it was just announced that the plane was delayed and landed at 7: 50. There is no way but to wait patiently. Most of the people who take this plane are elderly tour groups in Taiwan Province Province. We rarely see young people (people take long-distance sleepers), which shows that we are "corrupt" and can spend money to buy and enjoy!

Tomorrow is a one-day tour of Shilin, which is the last attraction of our trip, but we haven't decided what transportation to take. After thinking of Kunming, we will go and have a look. I wish the journey a complete success!

9.5 Fri。 Yu Kunming-Shilin

The plane arrived in Kunming at 9 o'clock last night, and it took half a day to pick up the luggage. It's almost 10 to take a taxi to Jinhua Hotel.

I didn't get up until half past seven this morning. I dawdled about packing and found that I couldn't find a bag for food. I rummaged through every bag and suddenly remembered that I had left it in Sakura House. Although there is nothing, there are some annoyances. I had breakfast in the hotel and packed some western cakes for lunch.

It's annoying to walk to the bus station in Zhongbei after dinner, and the women who come up to solicit customers before crossing the road pester you endlessly. When I arrived at the bus station, I couldn't find the bus to Shilin, and finally got on the bus to solicit customers. The traffic in Kunming is really a problem, because cars are soliciting customers everywhere. It was not until 9: 35 that the road was officially started. After driving for less than an hour, there was another traffic jam. There may be a traffic accident ahead. I just saw a big crane drive by. Wow, the long motorcade is stuck here. I wonder when. Later, I found that the "one-day tour" car I took was really bad, just like the netizen said. It took me 1 o to get to Shilin after driving for two hours and four hours. On the way, I went to a jewelry store (as soon as I entered the store, I met a boss who claimed to be a Beijinger and grew up in Myanmar, and came to help us take care of our hometown. Just like the swindler we met in Vietnam, we turned down coldly and went to a free toilet), and then I was tricked into going to a Yanquan Temple and insisted on taking you to burn incense and pray for a sign. We ignored him and turned around and went out. Later, the tour guide said that we should get something to eat before going to Shilin. Finally, we couldn't help it. We had a fight with her before being dragged to Shilin. /kloc-arrive after 0/o'clock and meet at 3: 30. It's bullshit! Fortunately, we bought a one-way ticket (15 yuan/person), so we should not be subject to her. We left angrily, disgusted with this boring behavior, and our interest was damaged. (I suggest you never take a minibus to the North Bus Station (Nanyao) or take a long-distance bus to the East Bus Station 10 yuan in Shilin, and you won't be dragged around; Or take the 8: 00 a.m.10 train, and there is a train back to Kunming after 2: 00 p.m. We thought there would be another one after 4 pm, but later we heard that it was cancelled because of SARS. )

Tickets to the Stone Forest are expensive enough (80 yuan/Zhang), so we just walk in by ourselves and occasionally listen to the tour guide behind the tour group. Or are you free to play, unrestrained. Sitting at the stone table at noon, eating a box lunch. Tourist attractions are full of tourists who get together to take pictures, which is not interesting. But there is no one in the remote places. There are many butterflies, large and small, dancing among the flowers. They are very beautiful!

We play in Shilin and come out at 4 o'clock. There is no bus back to Kunming in the parking lot, so we have to take the bus (10 yuan) to the passenger station, get on a CMB (10 yuan/person) and leave at 4: 30. The bus went very fast and arrived at Kunming East Station in two hours. We took a taxi to Jinbi Square and took photos in front of Jinma Biji Square. Then go to the nearby "Xiang Qiao Garden" to eat rice noodles across the bridge. A big bowl is like a small washbasin. 10 yuan 1 serving. There are many people in the restaurant, and the business is booming. There are singing and dancing performances in the back rooms. But we don't think it tastes as good as the bait that Dali ate for 3 yuan in a casserole. It's delicious! After dinner, we took a taxi back to the hotel.

At this point, our trip to Yunnan is over. I will take the 8: 50 Air China flight (1050 yuan) back to Beijing tomorrow morning. We should go back to real life, to our daily work and life, and be the original me. We all felt very happy on this trip, not only because of the beautiful scenery, but also because this self-help trip made us feel free, independent and happy in a brand-new way, unrestrained, fearless and more independent. This is something you can't feel in a travel team. We decided to travel like this in the future, to all parts of the country and to all parts of the world.

9.6 Sat。 Yin Kunming-Beijing

I got up at 6: 30 this morning, had breakfast at 7: 00, checked out at 7: 30 and took a taxi to the airport. Now that all the boarding procedures have been completed, I am sitting in the waiting hall at 8 o'clock, and I can't read the books I bought in my suitcase. Five bags, big and small, are all full, and there is nothing left. The trip is over! I am very sleepy now. Arrive in Beijing about 12. We will travel all the way, take the airport bus to Xidan, and then take a taxi back to our warm home!
