Design of Tourism Route from Kunming to Northwest Yunnan

Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, is a leisurely and slow-paced city with four seasons like spring. It is like a big city garden with many beautiful scenic spots.

Recommended tour routes in urban areas: Dianchi Lake-Yunnan Ethnic Village-Kunming Cuihu Park-Yunnan University-Jinma Bijifang.

The next day: Old Town of Lijiang-Lashihai Wetland Park

Old Town of Lijiang is one of the few ancient ethnic minority cities in China, with rich ethnic customs, flowing bridges, patchwork residential buildings and endless nightlife. Lashihai, located at 10 km west of Lijiang, is the largest plateau lake in Lijiang and a famous gathering place for migratory birds.

Yulong Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain in the hearts of Naxi people. The sector of the main peak is steep, with an altitude of 5596 meters. Yulong Snow Mountain consists of 12 snow peaks. The scenery of alpine snow area is located at an altitude of more than 4000 meters.

This is the famous first bay of the Yangtze River, and the next scenic spot, Tiger Leaping Gorge, is the canyon with the biggest drop in the world. Tiger leaping gorge is divided into three sections: upper tiger leaping, middle tiger leaping and lower tiger leaping. Xiaozhongdian Huahai is the only town to go to Shangri-La. It has a large area of lush grassland, so you can stay and watch it for a short time.

Day 5: Baishuitai-Pudacuo National Park-Shambala Tancheng-Lijiang

Baishuitai, located in Bai Di Village, Sanba Township, southeast of Shangri-La County, looks like a terrace. Because the calcium bicarbonate in the water is irradiated by sunlight, the water evaporates to form white calcium carbonate precipitation, and then continuously covers the surface, forming a spring step, which is one of the largest spring steps in China.

Pudacuojia Park is located in the central area of Shangri-La Scenic Area, and consists of Bitahai, Shudu Lake and Xiagei Folk Ecological Culture Village. The park has beautiful scenery and fresh air, and the original ecological environment such as alpine meadow, lake wetland and forest pasture is well preserved. Shambhala is the palace where Tibetan Buddhism was introduced to Tancheng in the turn of the century, second only to Potala Palace.

There are two ways to climb Cangshan Mountain: ropeway and hiking trail. Cableways are not connected with each other, and they can reach Qingbi Stream, Zhonghe Temple and Ximatan on Dai Yu Road halfway up the mountain.
