Is it expensive to travel to Yunnan during the Spring Festival in 2015? How much does it cost? What to pay attention to

I just went there before the holiday. When I arrived in Dali, the hotel front desk informed me that the price would increase during the Spring Festival. Prices would be 160 on the 17th, more than 200 on the 180th, and 380 on the first day of the lunar month, which would last until the eighth day of the lunar new year. You are almost celebrating the New Year, so you will probably feel better. Anyway, I went there and saw that you were traveling out of town, so the price for everything was inevitably higher. Sometimes local accommodation quotes are lower than those online! So when you go, ask for prices first and compare them. Don’t rush to say that you booked online.

The air ticket from Beijing on February 10th was more than 1,400, and the return air ticket on New Year’s Eve was the lowest 1,040. Shangri-La seven-day chain stay, 158/day. The price is about the same in Lijiang. I stayed at Dashuiche Inn in the north gate of the ancient city. The environment was worse than in the photo, but the location was good. The girl at the front desk was very helpful and the service was good. I stayed in two places in the ancient city of Dali. The Ruyi Inn cost 80 yuan/day. It was in a good location near the south gate and was cheap. The environment was average. Even wiping my hands with a towel smelled bad. One hotel near the center is called Hongchengyuan Hotel. The price is 160/day, which is the one with increased prices during the New Year. The conditions are normal, not as good as the Shangri-La seven-day chain. But it's close to the supermarket and very convenient. In Kunming, I stayed at the Wule Hotel recommended online. I compared many hotels on the spot and found that the environment and price-performance ratio of this hotel were very good, at 158/day. Moreover, his store stores bags for free, while the other store charges a separate fee. These are the standard room prices for twin beds.

Tickets for attractions are also a place to spend money. Kunming Green Lake and Haigeng Park are now free, and it is fun to feed seagulls. Near Green Lake is the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall, which is famous but free to visit. The mountain in Xishan Park is relatively high, and climbing it by yourself is tiring, so you can save 40 yuan on the ropeway fee. But the old man shouldn’t save this money. I felt a little tired after sitting on the top of the mountain and walking down. I forgot the ticket, it seems to be less than 100. The entrance fee to the Stone Forest is 200 yuan plus a battery car. You can’t save money on the bus and it’s a long walk, but the Stone Forest is beautiful and the entrance fee is worth it. I don’t have time to go to Jiuxiang Cave, and the ticket price is almost 200. I didn’t go to many scenic spots in Dali that cost money, especially the San Chong Pagoda, which was said to be a scam. There were no butterflies in the Butterfly Spring, so I just skipped it. There is a man-made "ancient city" in Xizhou that charges entrance fees. You can bypass it and go to the real ancient city inside for free. Haiji Park, Caicun Pier, and Longkan Ancient Ferry are free of charge. The Old Town of Lijiang is very confusing. It is full of shops and everything is expensive. A can of beer in the snack city costs 15 yuan. If you want to eat outside the ancient city, it’s affordable.
