The transportation in Yunnan is actually not complicated. In the past, many people chose to transfer to Kunming first. However, Kunming does not have any attractions that attract me, so the major transportation is from Dali to Lijiang, and the small transportation is from Dali to Lijiang. Dali→Lijiang→

Lugu Lake→Lijiang

As for intra-provincial transportation, Dali and Lijiang are already mature tourist cities. Just use taxi-hailing apps to travel. Practice has proved that with platform supervision, taxi-hailing software really saves a lot of trouble. It is not only cheap and easy to use, but also avoids some risks that may be faced by unlicensed taxis. Recommended.
