Detailed itinerary of Yunnan self-help tour

From Kunming → Dali → Lijiang → Mid-term (Shangri-La), this is a more classic route in Yunnan. The traffic on this line is very developed and the tourist information is very open. Anyone who asks the local people is a good information provider and guide. The locals and businessmen were very friendly and enthusiastic along the way. No matter how you consult and bargain, you won't be in a hurry. The concept of "tourists are God" is deeply rooted in people's hearts here. So you don't have to follow the tour group. Self-help travel will have unexpected gains and fun.

● Dali

When it comes to Dali, people always think of "Xiaguanfeng, Shangguanhua, Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon" described in martial arts novels, from which the romance comes.

Dali is a thousand-year-old city. Nanzhao State in Tang Dynasty and Dali State in Song Dynasty both took Dali as their capital. The long history and splendid culture have left Dali with rich cultural relics and historic sites, making it a "famous literary country" and constituting the cultural landscape of Dali.

Dali has a strong Bai customs, and the folk culture of "three squares, one wall, four courtyards and five patios" has profound connotations; Folk festivals such as March Street and Shi Baoshan Song Festival are full of fun; Bai Sanpin took a long sip of tea. In Yunnan, no other place can make you feel the unique Bai customs and culture like Dali.

Main attractions:

Cangshan-"clouds, snow, peaks and streams" are the four wonders of Cangshan. Usually look at Cangshan in the car or ride a horse. Prices are all around 40 yuan.

Erhai Lake-If you are healthy, you can ride a bike to Chaicun Pier near Erhai Lake. Then take a cruise to see Erhai Lake. Usually the fare is 80 yuan/person. At that time, there were four of us, and we were cut to 10 yuan/person (a bit miserable)! Because it is the off-season, the fare difference is much.

Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple-After swimming in Erhai Lake, you can reach the three pagodas in fifteen minutes by bike.

In addition, Xizhou residential market is worth seeing. Butterfly spring exists in name only, so don't go.

Food Street and Shopping:

The night market in Dali ancient city is very prosperous, especially foreigner street. Not only can you buy special souvenirs, but you can also find bars with different moods. The seaside cafe on the road to protect the country was opened by a couple in Guangdong, and the food was very good. Want to go to the old wooden house for coffee, Colombian coffee 8 yuan/cup. I especially recommend two bars in foreigner street: one is bird bar, which is very distinctive but hard to find; The other is a lazy book. Besides delicious food, there are many good books, CDs and DVDs for free. Although these two bars are not the best bars in Dali, they are the best bars in Dali foreigner street.

● Old Town of Lijiang

Old Town of Lijiang is a beautiful "Xanadu", which consists of well-preserved ancient residential buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Three streams formed by bamboo water diverted from Heilongtan pass through the city, and the springs are crystal clear, with small bridges and willows flowing in front of every house. Streets and streams are bars, inns and jewelry stores with different styles and rich ethnic customs. There are many styles of streets in the ancient city, all of which are paved with five-flowered stone slabs and are local specialties. The local government does not allow cars to enter the ancient city, even bicycles. Only by walking slowly, slowly savoring the leisurely atmosphere of this small town and feeling a lifestyle that you can't enjoy in the city.

Visiting the ancient city, you can feel the strong Naxi culture. In addition to Naxi residential buildings and white sand murals, there are the oldest hieroglyphs Dongba and the oldest Naxi music. Therefore, in the evening, you must go to the "Lijiang China Dayan Naxi Ancient Music Concert" hosted by the famous Xuanke, and learn that/kloc-old musicians over 0/00 have played music for more than 700 years with musical instruments for more than 200 years.

Best location inn-Wanggulou Inn and Old Mill Inn. Looking at Gu Lou Inn, you can see the whole picture of the ancient city, and the scenery is beautiful. The Old Mill Inn is located across the fist-guessing wall in Chunwenyuan, Jiannan, separated by a stream. The inn is near the stream. There are many antique tables and chairs beside the stream for guests to read, bask in the sun and entertain. The waiter in the inn is Naxi Amei Xiaohei, who is very cute and careful. She will make you a cup of tea when you least expect it. The inn has a cupboard room and refrigerator, which is very clean. You can cook a good dish for your friend yourself. The owner of the inn is from Kunming. He shaved his head and was a senior tour guide. He often walks for a few days to explore new tourist routes. So he is very familiar with the scenic spots near Lijiang. Such as Tiger Jumper, Haba Snow Mountain, Yulong Snow Mountain, Baishuitai and Lugu Lake. If you want to go to these places, you should listen to his advice first. In some places, he also has a map. The boss's name is Su, and his telephone number is 0888-5 103244.

Jiannanchun Inn, a high-end inn, is just opposite the Old Mill Inn, with good geographical location and conditions. The inn is quite atmospheric, and there are two high-standard restaurants and food stalls near the stream outside the inn. When you enter the ancient city, you will know how to get there when you ask. It is easy to find.

Climate and festivals:

Lijiang belongs to the plateau southwest monsoon climate, which is relatively dry and has a great temperature difference in the morning and evening. They all say that there are four seasons in a day.

The biggest festival of Naxi nationality is the "Three Flowers Festival" on the eighth day of February. Followed by the Milla meeting on May 15; From June 23rd to 25th, Naxi Torch Festival; Longwang Temple Fair, Chaoshan Festival, etc.

Transportation:

The traffic in Lijiang is very developed, with planes flying to Kunming, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xishuangbanna, Ruili, Shangri-La and other places. Lijiang bus station is located in the new city, with convenient public transportation, luxury and ordinary buses, and many buses and flights to nearby attractions. Lijiang → Shangri-La Fare 27 yuan/person 4-5 hours drive. Lijiang → Kunming 130 yuan/person 10 hour drive.

Food Street and Shopping:

You can buy very special things anywhere in the ancient city. Many Naxi artworks can be bought after commercialization. There are also some distinctive small ornaments, which are cheap and exquisite, and are the first choice for gifts to relatives and friends.

The bars in Lijiang are unforgettable. Although the theme of each bar is different, there is one thing in common: the host is warm and hospitable, and the guests are friendly and lovely. Just ask for a cup of coffee, find a favorite book from the small bookshelf in the bar, let the host play a favorite song, and look at the bustling passers-by against the glass facing the street. That feeling is indescribable. You can also watch movies in bars, surf the Internet, and be stolen all day before you know it.

The bars in Shi Feng Lane (formerly Missi Lane) in the ancient city are relatively concentrated, and the Sakura House, Camel Bar and Dadawa are all very good.

● Others

If you have enough time, you can go to several famous tourist attractions not far from Lijiang, such as Tiger Leaping Mountain, which is a "paradise for hikers". Of course, you can also choose to take the bus, but you will miss many beautiful scenery. Lugu Lake-known as the "daughter country", is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear water, mainly inhabited by Mosuo people.

I especially recommend Shangri-La. Shangri-La is a beautiful and mysterious place. When I arrive in Shangri-La, I will visit Songzanlin Temple, the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan, with the same layout as Potala Palace. There are Napahai, Bitahai, Shudu Lake, Baishuitai, Bilang Canyon, Qianhu Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain.

When you arrive in Shangri-La, you must be with Tibetans. Before going out, many people recommended the Milk Hippo Store, which is located at the foot of Shangri-La Mountain and beside the Milk River, and is the cleanest among Tibetans. The hospitable host will prepare authentic cheese and butter tea for your breakfast. You can sit on the second floor and watch the sunrise in the morning. It's close to Songzanlin Temple, and only takes 10 minutes to walk. If you want to see authentic Tibetan song and dance performances, you can go to his neighbor's house. His neighbors have trained many people and directed many wonderful programs. Every day, tour groups come to their home to eat roast whole sheep and watch song and dance performances.

Milk Hippo Store-next to Milk River Bridge on Jingxiang Road, Shangri-La, 40 yuan/Double Room, Tel: 0887-8226450.

Longxing Inn is also very good. The hospitable boss will pick up every guest who comes to his hotel at the station. If you want to leave, he will get up earlier and give you a lift. His frankness makes you feel like a distant friend who has been waiting there for a long time. That's great. The toilets, bathhouses and hot water in Longxing Inn are the best along the way. The temperature in the plateau is very low, so it is a happy thing to take a comfortable hot bath. The boss used to be in charge of project technology development in a high-tech enterprise in Wuhan, and his living conditions were very good. By a very accidental opportunity, he accompanied a friend who studied fine arts to Shangri-La, and since then, his life has changed. The night before I left, I talked with my boss and his partner all night, only to find out that he is actually a "colleague (Xingzhi)" who works part-time in the company at a university! This is an adventure.

Longxing Inn Address: No.094, Beimen Street, Jiantang Town, Shangri-La County, Diqing Prefecture; Tel: 0887-8289250 40 yuan/double room, 4 people, 15 yuan/person.
