Special location and location of tourist attractions and food in northwest Yunnan

When traveling to Yunnan, you must go to Dali and Lijiang. I have seen 5 golden flowers because Cangshan, Erhai Lake and Butterfly Spring are all there. In addition, this line can also be extended to Lijiang to see the ancient city of Lijiang and the Jade Dragon. Snow Mountain. If you come by train from Beijing, including the round trip, it is estimated that it will take 2 weeks to fully enjoy it, and the cost will be around 5,000. The specifics will depend on the number of people you have, your food and accommodation situation, and the condition of the scenic spots.

Dali is a beautiful and charming ancient city. Her scenery can be summarized in four words: "wind, flowers, snow and moon", that is, "wind from Xiaguan, flowers from Shangguan, snow from Cangshan Mountain, and moon from Erhai". The four famous sceneries of Dali.

Dali still retains its ancient city wall. Walking along the city wall step by step, gently stroking the bricks and stones with your hands, you can’t help but wonder.

Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture It is located in the Western Yunnan Plateau, bounded by the Yunling Mountains to the west and the Central Yunnan Plateau to the east. It covers an area of ??about 30,000 square kilometers.

As early as ancient times, the ancestors of the Bai people, known as "Hebarians," thrived in the area around Erhai Lake and created the Erhai Civilization. In the Han Dynasty, Yeyu County with Dali (ancient city) as the center began to be established. In the Tang Dynasty, the Nanzhao Kingdom was established, and in the Song Dynasty, Dali was It has been the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan for five to six hundred years. It was the only route of the ancient Southern Overland Silk Road, connecting Sichuan and Tibet in the north and reaching Simao in the south, becoming an important transportation hub in western Yunnan.

Dali is a tourist destination that is endlessly desirable and unforgettable. The local people are simple and hospitable. Visitors from far away are very welcome to sit in their courtyards, and some of them will. We will give you a cup of tea to cool you down and quench your thirst. We are also proud to introduce it to you, and please appreciate the flowers and plants raised in his home, the antique houses, the carved window panes, etc. The local people are very helpful and ask questions on the street. If you have other difficulties, those who can help will try their best to help. If you can't help, they will also tell you how to find the relevant agencies and units.

No. People who have been to Dali know Dali from two sources. One is Mr. Jin Yong's novel. In the middle of the novel, the emperor's "one-finger magic power" points out the mystery of Qingyuan in the ancient country of Nanzhao, which arouses people's reverie; the other is Mr. Jin Yong's novel. In the 1960s, "Five Golden Flowers" was sung all over the country, and the beautiful scenery of Dali was also well-known.

In fact, there is much more to Dali. Dali has a long history and is known as a "state of great literature". It has been inhabited by ancient humans as far back as the Neolithic Period. When Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty established counties in Yunnan, Dali was included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Two local governments, Nanzhao State and Dali State, emerged under the Tang and Song dynasties. Before the Yuan Dynasty, Dali had always been the political, economic, and cultural center of Yunnan. The center was originally moved from Dali to Kunming. However, Dali is still the political, economic and cultural center of western Yunnan. It has successively established prefectural-level administrative agencies such as the road, government, and administrative commissioner's offices. In 1956, regional ethnic autonomy was implemented. , established the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. At the same time, Dali is also a transportation hub in western Yunnan. After the reform and opening up, Dali has gradually developed into a commercial and tourism center city in western Yunnan.

Dali has a long history and brilliant culture. There are rich cultural relics and historic sites between Yu'er and Yincang. The natural scenery is beautiful and colorful, with Cangshan Mountain like a screen, Erhai Lake like a mirror, deep butterfly spring, and the four wonders of "wind, flowers, snow, and moon" (Xiaguan). Wind, Shangguan Flowers, Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon).

Dali is the main settlement of the Bai people. It preserves the simple and rich Bai customs. You can learn about the living customs of the Bai people and taste them in Dali. You can buy unique Bai flavor food, buy satisfactory Bai folk handicrafts, and participate in the traditional Dali Bai March Street Festival celebrations.

Food in Dali tourism:

Speaking of the characteristics of Dali’s catering, the Bai three-course tea, casserole fish, and Dengchuan milk fan should be the first to recommend.

Most of the best restaurants in Dali are concentrated in the ancient city. To taste Dali cuisine, you can go to Huguo Road in the ancient city, where many foreign tourists gather.

On Huguo Road, Western food cafes with characteristics of Bai, Tibetan and other ethnic minorities can be seen everywhere. Many restaurants sell both Chinese and Western food. Tourists can taste Yunnan-style dishes and local Bai dishes.

Each restaurant here has its own unique characteristics, and each has its own unique recipes.

Shangri-La is close to Tibet, with a higher altitude and the most beautiful scenery. If you choose this route, I recommend bringing warm clothes because the altitude is high and the temperature will be quite low if it rains, especially in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Zhongdian. When in Lijiang, you must go to the ancient city at night and enjoy the culture there.

As for transportation costs, I can only provide tour group prices. The Dali->Lijiang->Zhongdian line generally uses trains and cars as transportation, and the price should not exceed 1,000 yuan. /people.

Lijiang Tourism → Transportation

Entering Lijiang

Lijiang City is the gateway to and from Lijiang and within the Lijiang area A major transportation hub for tourism.

One of the eight strange things in Yunnan is that "trains are not as fast as cars." Lijiang has no train service at all. As for transportation into Lijiang, we can only choose between airplane and road. Among other provinces and cities in the country except Yunnan, only Shanghai has direct flights to Lijiang. During the peak tourist season, there will also be flights from major cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and Chongqing to Lijiang via Kunming, but they are not fixed flights. You need to further inquire with your local travel agency or airport when you go.

If you do not plan to drive there by yourself, you need to go through two steps to reach Lijiang City.

Step one: Go to the entrance cities, Kunming and Panzhihua.

Major cities across the country have flights and trains to Kunming, and Kunming also has flights to various places in Yunnan Province.

Panzhihua is the closest city to the Lijiang area and an important node on my country's Southwest Railway. It is more convenient to reach Panzhihua by train.

Although you can also reach Lijiang through Dali, Dali currently only has trains and flights within the province, and tickets are difficult to buy, so Dali is not used as an entrance city.

Step 2: Arrive at Lijiang City from the entrance city.

There are two ways to enter Lijiang from Kunming - plane and bus.

There are multiple flights from Kunming to Lijiang City every day, and the flight time is about 40 minutes. Before the construction of the airport in Lijiang, road bus passenger transportation had always been a "monopoly" mode of transportation. The direct bus from Kunming to Lijiang takes 8 or 9 hours, and the road conditions are very good. However, once the tourist peak season comes, the fares will go up; and because there are many bus companies in Kunming (there are many such companies near Nanyao, West Railway Station, and Panjiawan in Kunming), the fares are not uniform, so you need to compare more .

You can also choose to travel from Kunming to Dali first, and then go from Dali to Lijiang.

The only way to enter Lijiang from Panzhihua is through long-distance buses. Panzhihua has shuttle buses to Deqin (passing Lijiang City and Tiger Leaping Gorge) and Lugu Lake (passing Ninglang) every day. You can choose to take the bus to Deqin directly to Lijiang City (the total journey is more than 300 kilometers). You can also choose to pass through Lugu Lake first, and then go from Lugu Lake to Lijiang City (the total journey is more than 200 kilometers, and normal driving takes about 9 hours). However, the road conditions along the road are relatively poor (it is Yunnan's unique gravel road, a kind of road between gravel road and asphalt road, mainly to prevent snow accumulation in winter), and most of them are mountainous roads, so you need to be prepared for bumps and motion sickness. .

Transportation in Lijiang

In general, Lijiang is a place with relatively complete tourism development. The main mode of transportation between scenic spots is highway, and shuttle buses and chartered buses between various places are very convenient. Convenient and safe; although the road conditions are basically good, because there are many mountain roads, if you are driving by yourself, you still need to have experience walking on mountain roads. There are many turns on the mountain road, so you can bring motion sickness medicine.

Long-distance buses

There are three long-distance bus stations in Lijiang City, namely:

Lijiang Old Town Central Station: In the southwest corner of the ancient city, Yunshan Tourism Development Corporation Next to it, take bus No. 1 directly. This is the most important long-distance bus station in Lijiang. It has a wide range of destinations, a wide range of bus schedules, and punctual departure times. There are computerized ticket booths in Yuquan Hotel, bus terminal, Lijiang Hotel, etc.

Provincial Highway Express: 500 meters west of the central station, the vehicles are relatively good, and they are all imported sedans.

Lijiang Expressway: On the 40-meter road, the vehicles are better, and they are all imported large cars.

Lijiang Transportation Group High-speed Passenger Terminal Contact Number: 5120054

Lijiang Bus Passenger Transport Service Center Ticketing Telephone: 5125492, 5183964

CMB

CMB is an important tool for short-distance travel. In Lijiang City, you can take minibuses to nearby villages.

Outside of the ancient city, almost every county has a state-owned or privately operated minibus. They either travel between neighboring counties or connect counties with various scenic spots.

Tourist Bus

This tourist bus can pass through five scenic spots in one day: Yunshanping, Yufeng Temple (Ten Thousand Camellias), Baisha Mural, Yuquan Park and Lijiang Ancient Town. There is a tour guide on the car, and there will be a certain amount of time at each scenic spot for tourists to visit.

The bus departs every morning from the courtyard of Guluwan Hotel next to the Dongba Cultural International Exchange Center; there are two departures per day.

Chartered taxis

There are many taxis in Lijiang, especially "Xiali" taxis, which account for the majority. The starting price is 6 yuan/3 kilometers, and then 1.6 yuan per kilometer. The starting price of "Santana" is 7 yuan/3 kilometers, and then 1.8 yuan per kilometer.

If you want to go to a place far away, you can rent a car, such as Shuhe, Yufeng Temple, Yuhu Village, and Baisha Mural. It can take a day to visit places such as Shuhe, Yufeng Temple, Yuhu Village, and Baisha Mural, and it will cost about 80 yuan to 100 yuan. ; If you go from Lijiang Old Town to Shigu Town, the First Bend of the Yangtze River, and Tiger Leaping Gorge (you can take a car on the "low road" simple road), it will also take a day. Charter a "Xiali" round trip for 240 yuan, and a minivan. It is 170 yuan.

The one-way chartered bus to Lugu Lake from the ancient city costs about 400 yuan. It is recommended to choose a van, because the chassis of the van is higher and the road to Lugu Lake is mountainous.

Bicycles

There are many bars in Lijiang Old Town that provide bicycle rental services (unified as mountain bikes). You can also see them in Red Sun Square. The general price is 10-15 Yuan/day.

Lijiang Tourism → Accommodation

Accommodation situation in Lijiang City

They are more suitable for those who have made up their mind to stay in Lijiang. Friends who are "corrupt" and enjoy the atmosphere of Lijiang live here.

Not only are the prices cheap, but the sanitary conditions are also impressive. rest assured. It just doesn't have a separate toilet or shower, so it usually costs 15 yuan to 25 yuan per bed.

If you want "star" standard accommodation, there are many hotels and hotels from two-star to five-star to choose from. However, in addition to the four-star hotel Jiannanchun Wenyuan located in the center of the ancient city, These hotels are at the junction of the new city and the ancient city. There are also some ordinary hotels and guest houses for you to choose from in Xincheng.

Things to note are:

Lijiang Tourism → Food

Lijiang is located on the main transportation route between Sichuan, Tibet and Yunnan, and is a mixed residence of many ethnic minorities. The biggest feature of Lijiang is its rich food. Nowadays, due to the influx of tourists from all over the world, you can even eat some foreign specialty foods in Lijiang.

Eating habits of the main ethnic groups

The eating habits of the Naxi people are almost the same as those of the Han people, with three meals a day. Breakfast will be relatively simple steamed buns or stewed cakes, as well as a bowl of butter tea; lunch and dinner will be much richer, with stir-fried vegetables (a combination of meat and vegetables), pickles and soup, and the staple food will be pure rice or rice mixed with grains. Pork is the most important meat. The more distinctive way of eating here is to marinate, dry, and dry the pork into bacon and ham. There are many types of vegetables throughout the year, and there are also various delicious fungi. For example, Lijiang's "chicken fir" fungus is very famous. You can order it in restaurants, and it is worth buying back if you come across one for sale during your trip. .

What is special is that the Naxi people implement a meal-sharing system. In the past, guests had to sit cross-legged on the ground. There would be three bowls in front of each person, a vegetable bowl, a rice bowl and a wine bowl, and they would eat with their hands. No matter how many guests come, the food and meat will be divided equally between each person and placed in each bowl, and the guests will be asked to take the remaining meals back to the elderly at home who have limited mobility due to old age. Later, under the influence of Han culture, the Naxi people no longer sat on the floor and began to use chopsticks. Nowadays, the Naxi people in the ancient city no longer practice the meal-sharing system, but the Naxi people in remote mountainous areas still retain this custom.

The Mosuo people eat rice and corn as their staple food. The vegetables they eat more are green vegetables and radishes. Their meat is also mainly pork. The Mosuo people’s pig fat meat is also called Pipa meat, which is a local food. The most famous food is the pickled sour fish. For the Yi people living in Xiaoliangshan, their staple food is baba, and "mound meat" is also a specialty of their diet.

Exotic delicacies in the ancient city

The short stretch from Sifang Street to Dashiqiao is full of food stalls. Some people jokingly call it a "rice noodle street". In addition to the common Naxi snacks, there are also casserole rice noodles that are "popular throughout the country" and barbecues at night.

There are also many delicious foods in Zhongyi Market and Xiangshan Market in the south of the ancient city. Such as cured pork ribs hot pot, yak hot pot, beef from halal restaurants, and crucian carp hot pot from Lashi.

There are also some bars in the ancient city that will serve you unexpected "content". Home-cooked dumplings and home-cooked dishes at "Lijiang Donkey Nest"; the first donkey meat restaurant at the corner of Xinyi Street; home-cooked dishes at "Shunshuilou" next to Dashiqiao, and the porridge shop in Jishan Alley are all good choices for daily dining. .

In addition, there are also PIZZA from Sunflower Bar, Korean cuisine from "A Date in This Life", sandwiches from "Jie Li Coffee", and apple bitter melon yogurt shake, all of which are memorable.

I hope it will be helpful to you and wish you a happy trip!!! I look forward to your reply, thank you!!!
