The most economical route and mode from Yantai to Lijiang, Yunnan

You can go to Jinan first, then take the train directly to Kunming, and then transfer to the bus at Kunming Station to Lijiang. There are always three trains. However, I personally agree with the "unparalleled" method, because discounted air tickets are actually very cheap, which can avoid the fatigue of the journey. Besides, I personally strongly oppose staying in Old Town of Lijiang. Take a look, it's enough to take a walk, and everything else is free, especially the bar, which is so expensive that no one goes. My suggestion is that out of the ancient city, three or five kilometers north, in the suburbs of Lijiang, there is a place called Shuhe, which is an ideal holiday station. I hope I can help you.
