How to take the train from Shaoguan, Guangdong to Lijiang, Yunnan?

Go to Guangzhou first, buy a train ticket from Guangzhou, with a hard berth of about 360~395/ person, arrive in Kunming in about 22 hours, and then transfer to Lijiang. It takes about 7.8 hours to drive from Kunming to Lijiang. You can also take a train from Kunming to Dali, spend 1.2 days in Dali, and then transfer to Lijiang, which means you have to go through Dali, so you can also visit Dali casually.
