Yunnan go on road trip route recommendation

South of the colorful clouds, where my heart wants to go, Yunnan Province, referred to as Yunnan Cloud for short, is located in the southwest border of China. It is China's radiation center facing South Asia and Southeast Asia, and it is also a popular tourist destination and a major cultural tourism province in China. During the Warring States period, this was the place where Yunnan tribes lived. When you come to Yunnan, you can feel the history of the ancient tea-horse road and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lijiang. From Dali to Journey to the West, the scenery changes alternately, which is suitable for tourists coming to Yunnan for the first time. Even if they visit again, they will find something new.

D 1 Dali arrived in Dali today, and first visited the ancient city of Dali. Stroll through the streets of the ancient city and feel the life of the ancient city; After that, I went to the Three Pagodas Park of Chongsheng Temple, and got in close contact with the only remaining royal temples in Dali period. Then go to the reflection park on the south side of the three towers, where you can shoot the reflection of the three towers in the pool. The best shooting time is 16:00- 17:00. Return to the ancient city of Dali in the evening and start the nightlife in Dali. In the evening, Renmin Road is really busy.

Traffic Raiders You can walk in the ancient city of Dali, and you can take the bus 19 or take a taxi at the north gate of the ancient city of Dali.

Accommodation strategy Dali's accommodation is mainly concentrated in the ancient city, Xiaguan and Shuanglang. Accommodation in the ancient city is mostly inns and youth brigades, and various facilities are the most convenient. As the capital of Nanzhao and Dali in ancient times, the streets in the city are in a typical chessboard layout and are the tourist core area of Dali. The ancient city is very lively at night, and elements such as folk songs, bars, simplicity, ornaments and snacks are all picked up by tourists. Among them, the inns on foreigner street have their own characteristics, and tourists who come to the ancient city generally choose to live here.

Dali Zhaolanyuan Boutique Inn is located at the foot of Erhai Gate. Go out and turn left, which is Renmin Road. The inn is a traditional Dali Bai brick and wood structure, and the whole inn is elegantly decorated and full of fashion.

E-Stack No.1 (Dali Ancient City 1 Store) is located in the center of Dali Ancient City. As soon as I entered the gate of the inn, there were flowers and fruit trees in the garden, pavilions for drinking tea and chatting, streams, fish, peonies and antique pavilions in the yard, which was very comfortable.

D2 Dali mainly chartered a car around Erhai Lake today, and circled Erhai Lake clockwise from the ancient city in the morning. You can decide your own itinerary or listen to the advice of the chartered driver. It is suggested to visit the scenic spots in turn: Xizhou Town-butterfly spring-Shuanglang-Nanzhao Style Island-Colorful Town-Xiaoputuo. If time permits, remember the most beautiful sunset in Dali, such as the east bank of Erhai Lake.

D3 Dali mainly visits Cangshan Mountain today, so it is suggested to take a cableway up the mountain. During the gradual ascent of the cableway, you can feel the unpredictable clouds in the mountain and overlook the whole Erhai Lake. If it is May or June, you can see the azaleas all over the mountain at Ximatan, the end of the ropeway. After that, you can walk along the Jade Belt Road in The Journey to the West and play while walking.

Cangshan (1 day)

Green mountain range

There are ever-changing cloud scenes and Cangshan snow scenes here, which is one of the four scenic spots in Dali famous for its romantic scenery.

Traffic Raiders Take bus No.4 or take a taxi to the foot of Cangshan, the ancient city, and then you can choose to walk or take a bus ferry to the next stop of the ropeway. From the west side of Dali ancient city, it takes about 20 minutes to walk to the cableway downhill station.

There are two ways to climb Cangshan Mountain: by cableway and hiking. There are three cableways, Gantong cableway, Zhonghe cableway and Cangshan cableway. The ropeways are not connected with each other, and the stations at the foot of the mountain are not in the same position. The three ropeways can reach Qingbi Stream, Zhonghe Temple and Ximatan on Dai Yu Road halfway up the mountain. It is recommended to take the cableway, which is the longest and the scenery is naturally better.

If you have enough time and energy, you can also choose to hike up the mountain. There is a hiking trail on the west side of Tianlong Babu Studio, which is also a route for local people to do morning exercises. The stone steps of the path are very smooth. It takes about 1 hour to reach Dai Yu Road (near Yanfeng Cave). First walk about 2 kilometers north to the Zhonghe Hall, then turn back to the south to visit Ximatan and Dragon Rider's Pool. After that, you can go back the same way or take the induction ropeway.

D6 Lijiang River mainly visited Yulong Snow Mountain today. First, we took a cableway to the Glacier Park to experience the essence of the global low-latitude mountain glaciers. After going down the mountain, it is recommended to have lunch first. If you have time after lunch, you can watch Impression Lijiang at Blue Moon Valley Theater 13:30. Or go directly to Maoniuping, and you can see the thirteen peaks of Yulong Snow Mountain. Then go to Yunshan Ping to explore the huge lawn hidden in the virgin spruce forest.

D7 Lugu Lake Lijiang Bus for 6 hours → Lugu Lake

It takes about half a day from Lijiang to Lugu Lake today, and it is already afternoon when we arrive at Lugu Lake. It is recommended to take a special tourist bus. On the way, you will pass the scenic spot of "Riding a Thousand Miles Alone"-Lining Eighteen Bends Observation Deck and Lugu Lake Observation Deck next to Lu Ning Highway. Whether you take a bus or charter a car, you will stay in these two places. To travel to car ferry, we will go to Dashui Wharf first, and then stop here for a while to wait for passengers. From here, you can choose to take a pig trough boat to Locke Island or Riby Island. It is recommended to go to the rock island, which is located in the center of the lake and has fewer tourists.

Rige i.

Mosuo, with its rich ethnic customs, is one of the must-see attractions in Lugu Lake.

For the transportation strategy from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, it is suggested to take the Lijiang-Lugu Lake tourist shuttle bus in the parking lot of Yu He Square in Old Town of Lijiang, which can reach Daluoshui Village and Li Ge Island, or stop at the 18 th bend in Lining and Lugu Lake observation deck. Round-trip fare 160 yuan/person, one-way fare 100 yuan/person. It leaves at 8 am, about 7 hours.

In addition, there are two buses from Lijiang Express Bus Terminal to Daluoshui Village in Lugu Lake every day, which are 8:00 and 8:30 respectively. The journey takes about 9 hours, and the fare is 100 yuan/person. Lijiang Bus Terminal has two buses to Daluoshui Village in Lugu Lake every day, at 8:30 and 9:00 respectively. The journey takes 7-8 hours, and the fare is about 106 yuan/person. You need a chartered bus from Daluoshui Village to Rige Island, and the cost is about 50 yuan. If you are lucky, you can get enough people to carpool, about 10 yuan/person.

If you charter a car directly from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, depending on the model, it is usually 350-550 yuan in the off-season and 550-800 yuan in the peak season.

Accommodation strategy suggests choosing Li Ge accommodation. Li Ge has a unique geographical location, and many self-help tourists live here. In recent years, many inns and shops have been built. The development of Rige is relatively late, and it is generally a newly built wooden building with fashionable decoration. Generally, there are several rooms with lake view upstairs. It is a long way from the lake to the village. If you really want to get the moon near the water tower, then go to Rige Peninsula, where the room is by the window and the lake is under the window.

D8 Lugu Lake today suggests choosing a chartered car to surround the lake, so you can get up early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise of Lugu Lake in Li Ge Island. Starting from the lake, go to Nisai Village to find the famous lover tree and puppy love tree; Feel the original Mosuo style in the small water, one of the oldest Mosuo villages; Go to lover's beach to feel the ten-mile sandy shore and willow tree; Feel the glory and hardship of the life of the last Tusi Princess House "Mosuo Queen"; Go to Caohai to see the reeds in the water, and carry your beloved girl from beginning to end on the wedding bridge; Go to Goddess Bay to see Goddess Mountain and wait for the most beautiful sunset in Lugu Lake. There are few scenic spots in the other half of Lugu Lake. After sunset, you can choose to continue to return around the lake according to your own situation, or you can return to Rige Island by the same route.

The best place to watch the sunset is opposite the goddess of Baoshi Mountain and Lugu Lake.

Traffic Raiders Charter tour around Lugu Lake is one of the more convenient ways, and the price is 400-600 yuan/day, depending on the vehicle type and season. If you have enough time and physical strength, renting a bicycle and an electric car around the lake is also a good choice, but it will be harder.

If you choose to rent bicycles or electric cars around the lake, the price of electric cars is about 60 yuan/day, and that of bicycles is about 30 yuan/day. It is suggested to go around the lake counterclockwise, because starting from Rige, going counterclockwise in the direction of drowning is a flat road, and going clockwise in the direction of Nisai and Xiaoshuishui will take many mountain roads first. If you want to relax, you can also choose a half circle around the lake, because there are few scenic spots in the other half of the lake, and the power of the electric car may sometimes not support a week around the lake (ask the boss about the electric car when renting a car).

Accommodation raiders suggest choosing Rige to stay.
