A way to compromise the budget time of self-help tour route arrangement in Xishuangbanna, Dali, Kunming, Yunnan Province. There's no need to fly all the way.

These are two lines, the middle span is a bit big, and you have to fly once in the middle, otherwise it will take a long time.

Kunming-Dali-Lijiang: Through train.

Kunming: Xishan Scenic Area, Dianchi Park, Daguanlou Park, Jinbi, Yuantong Temple, Jinma Biji.

Dali: Cangshan, Erhai, Santasi, Shuanglang, Jizu Mountain, and Guzhen Foreigners Street.

Lijiang: Dayan Ancient Town, Shogunate, Black Dragon Pool and Yulong Snow Mountain.

From Lijiang, you can take a bus to Tiger Leaping Gorge and Lugu Lake for hiking, and it takes at least two days to go back and forth to each place.

Kunming-Xishuangbanna (Jinghong) bus, 7-8 hours to arrive.

Jinghong: Man Ting Park, Rainforest Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences, and various ethnic villages.

Mengla: Wangtianshu Tropical Rainforest Botanical Garden can be visited by both middle-aged and old people.

Menghai: The town of Rhoda where you can live is very cheap. There is a folk village in A Dai nearby. You can visit it if you want. Nannuo Mountain Scenic Area likes to see Millennium tea trees. In addition, Menghai is the most famous producing area of Pu 'er tea. You can buy some if you like. Eight mountain scenic spots, including ancient Hani villages and virgin forests, can be crossed, but they need a guide.

Banna-Lijiang, because it is time to fly, if you take a bus, it will take two days! It's too long. Of course, if you have enough time, you can also see the local folk customs along the way.

There are two routes, both of which are very mature and convenient for eating, living and traveling. In Banna, 40-60 yuan can stay in the standard room and have various snacks to eat. Jinghong's barbecue is a must in Yunnan and the price is cheap. Suggest tasting!

Kunming-Dali-Lijiang, the cost should be a little more expensive, but if you take the bus, eat in a general hotel and stay in an international youth hostel, it is not expensive either.

If you don't count the tickets, it's enough for you two to spend 260 yuan on average every day.

I hope my answer can help you. Have a nice trip!
