A comprehensive inventory of the top 5 travel souvenirs worth buying in Yunnan

Traveling is not a normal part of life, so traveling is something worth remembering in everyone’s heart. Buy some interesting souvenirs or special souvenirs during your trip to pass on your happiness to your relatives, friends, or colleagues who stick to their posts. This is a problem you will definitely encounter when traveling. So what are the recommended things worth buying when traveling in Yunnan?

Flower cakes must be the most common delicacies and special souvenirs encountered in Yunnan. Not eating flower cakes is like going to Beijing without going to Tiananmen Square. There are people there, but too few. Because it is not like Tiananmen, only this one stands solemnly. Every tourist city, every attraction, every commercial street that tourists can reach. There must be flower cakes everywhere, from unknown street stalls to famous pastry brand stores. It is also enough to prove that flower cakes are worth trying and even more worth buying.

Now that e-commerce is developed, you can buy it online. However, considering long-distance transportation, these flower cakes have a longer shelf life. Locally, most of them are freshly roasted on the same day, and the flavor and taste are even better. Although the shelf life is very short, only 7 days. But many people still buy it, have it delivered to their home within three days, or buy it when they leave.

Food tastes vary from person to person, so I don’t recommend a fixed brand. Most stores have them for tourists to taste. It is recommended that you taste them in person before choosing.

When it comes to health care, we must mention tea. Pu'er tea from Yunnan is recognized as good. It is a good choice to give to elders or drink it yourself. But friends who have not studied tea can easily be fooled. In Yunnan tourism, the number of tea shops and flower cake shops are estimated to be about the same. The choice is not easy, so I suggest you find another way. Yunnan is famous for its flowers. Making flower cakes is a complete rose, so rose tea is also a good choice. If you have female friends, you can choose rose tea. There are also the popular white peach oolong and Yunnan white tea.

In addition to the tea industry, Yunnan is also the best coffee producing area in my country, Baoshan and Pu'er. They are all good coffee producing areas. Compared to the world famous coffee growing areas. Although coffee in Yunnan started late, it quickly became a well-known production area with the perfect planting technology of the Chinese people. Yunnan coffee beans also shine in various coffee competitions. So when you come to Yunnan, you must bring some Yunnan coffee to your friends. In addition to freshly roasted coffee beans. You can buy various forms of coffee products such as ear-hanging bags and coffee powder.

You must have listened to Naxi ancient music in Lijiang, and even seen the Naxi "beating dance" in the ancient city. The representative of Naxi culture is Dongba paper, which is not afraid of water, is thick, wear-resistant, and insect-proof. It is the oldest and most primitive handmade paper in the world today.

Friends who are interested in history and culture can buy some illustrated books with Dongba characters printed on Dongba paper, as well as other cultural creations made of Dongba paper, such as sticky notes, notebooks, etc. Definitely an unconventional souvenir. Just because the production cost and labor are high, the price is slightly expensive and not particularly close to the people, but isn't this the value of culture?

There are many handicrafts in Yunnan, and naturally there are also popular goods among them, which seem to be found in every scenic spot and commercial street of every tourist destination. For example, the name on the embroidered packet can be Guilin, Yunnan, Hainan, or Shandong. But the little elephant bag and owl bag hanging with them, although not finely made, have a natural childlike innocence. It's not like you can see it everywhere. It is a very good choice to buy one for children.

When traveling in Yunnan, if you look carefully, you may find a cat-like and tiger-like decoration placed on the roof. In Yunnan, this kind of decorative object is called a tile cat, which is used to ward off evil spirits, bring good fortune, and stabilize the house. Most of the tile cats are made of pottery. They are handicrafts derived from the mythical beast that controls the house. They are used to pray for blessings and bring wealth. They are souvenirs with cultural stories, decoration and commemorative significance.

In addition to the above items, postcards, Bai tie-dye, and Xixi embroidery products are all good choices. Besides what kind of souvenirs have you bought?
