What are the fun places in Yunnan? The sunset is red

Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La are all very good places.

First stop, Kunming

Kunming is the city of spring and a famous tourist city, but after staying here for a long time, you really don’t think there are any attractions worth visiting. If you There is not enough time, so two days are enough:

When traveling independently, you must first arrange food and accommodation. The consumption level in Kunming is not very high, and the prices for food and accommodation must be reasonable. However, as a student, we still adhere to the principle of saving what we can, so after arriving in Kunming, you can arrange your accommodation near Yunnan University (Kunming University of Technology, Yunnan Normal University, and Yunnan Nationality are also in this area) , the hotels here are mostly opened for nearby college students who cannot return to their dormitories on time, and are extremely cost-effective.

The specific route is:

1) Kunming Wujiaba Airport:

Method A: Take a taxi to Yunnan University for Nationalities, the fare is 20 yuan during the day Around 24 yuan at night.

Method B: Take a bus in front of the airport (Kunming Airport is very close to the city and one of the few airports in the country with direct bus connections) to Kunming Railway Station. The fare is 1 yuan, so bring your own change. Insert coins (the same below). Transfer to No. 64 at Kunming Railway Station and get off at National University.

2) Kunming Railway Station

Method A: Take bus No. 64 to National University (the boarding stop is not at the train station exit, you need to ask for directions)

Method B: Take bus No. 2 to Jianshe Road (the boarding stop is at the train station exit, but after getting off you need to ask for directions and walk to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about 2 stops)

Method C: Taxi Go directly to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about 16-18 RMB

After arriving at the main entrance of the University for Nationalities, just ask the students passing by if they can find cheap and hygienic hotels nearby. Most of them will enthusiastically recommend them to you. (PS: Most locals in Yunnan are also very warm and simple, so you can feel free to ask for directions in the whole province of Yunnan)

Hotels here are generally ordinary rooms, regardless of the off-season or peak season, and the price is 10-15 per bed. Yuan/day.

If it is still early after you settle down, you can eat nearby. Because most of the nearby shops are opened by students, there is no big rip-off phenomenon. However, you should be cautious when buying fruits nearby. psychological preparation. After dinner, you can take a walk through the Yunnan University campus to Cuihu Park (red-billed gulls inhabit here from December to March every year, and the scenery is spectacular). For safety reasons, you must return to the hotel before 24:00.

Official itinerary

Day 1: Expo Park-Golden Palace

The Expo Park was built in 1999. After the competition, it was commercialized and opened to the present day. Although it is all artificial, it is still necessary to visit because it is so famous. However, those who are interested in gardens or architecture will still find something to gain.

Tickets: 100 yuan, half ticket can be purchased with student ID. (Be sure to bring your student ID card when you come to Yunnan. Half-price student tickets are available for almost all major attractions, but verification is very strict)

Transportation: Ask for directions from the main entrance of National University, walk to Jianshe Road, and take bus 69 Take the bus to the end point (the same for the return trip).

It will take half a day to see the flowers in the Expo. If it is still early, you can take the ropeway in the park (not recommended) or the bus outside the park to the Golden Palace Scenic Area (ticket 15 yuan, no student ticket) The Golden Palace was built by Wu Sangui in the early Qing Dynasty. The body of the palace is made of pure cast iron. There is no other ornamental value in the scenic area except the Golden Palace. After coming out of the Golden Palace, take bus No. 10 back to National University.

The next day: Stone Forest

The famous Address Park is world-famous and worth a visit.

Stone Forest is not in the urban area, so transportation, food and accommodation are troublesome. You can apply for a one-day tour of Stone Forest according to the advertisement posted in front of the train station or in front of the Expo Park the day before (the quoted price is about 100 yuan, if it exceeds that The price will be negotiated (the price quoted includes scenic spot tickets, lunch, and bus fare).

When signing up for a group tour, make sure that the attractions you visit include the "Big Stone Forest" scenic spot (picture on the Shilin brand cigarette box)

The price for a one-day tour of Stone Forest is cheap, but no matter which travel agency you choose, Whether it is formal or not, there are many tricks in it, so you need to be extremely careful. Personally recommend Yunnan Everbright Travel Service and Yunnan International Travel Service.

Tricks of the Stone Forest One-Day Tour Travel Agency:

A: Pass by the "Colorful Yunnan" shopping spot halfway. "Jade Jade" shopping spot. Remember: no matter how good-looking something is, don’t buy it. Otherwise, you will regret it too late.

B: When passing through a temple, never draw lots, tell fortunes, burn incense, or worship Buddha inside. (This is also true in other places in Yunnan - except for the Songzanlin Temple in Shangri-La (see below) - it is not that we do not respect the gods and Buddhas, but the gods and Buddhas in these small temples have been defiled by the secular monks and Taoists.)

C: Do not participate in the so-called entertainment projects with ethnic minorities in the Stone Forest Scenic Area, otherwise the loss will be recorded in the amount of one hundred yuan.

D: The travel agency in the scenic area arranges home visits for ethnic minorities. If you are given wine and tea, feel free to drink it. Just remember to tighten your wallet and don’t buy it.

The entrance fee to the Stone Forest Scenic Spot is 140 yuan (70 yuan for students). The travel agency’s quotation is basically unprofitable, so it is understandable that the above tricks exist. Understand these things yourself, and there is nothing they can do if you don’t fall for them. Can't help you.

That's it, there's no need to argue with him. If other people in the group look at the rich man, let him be fooled. We are not saviors. After all, the tour guides also have to eat. But the stone forest is still very beautiful.

If you really don’t want to join a tour group, just take a bus to Kunming Railway Station, ask for directions and take the relevant bus to Shilin County (one-way fare is about 15 yuan). Second stop Dali

The historical Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom were both here, and the base of the Dali Duan clan in "The Eight Tribes of the Dragon". However, things have changed and people have changed, and there is not much historical accumulation here. However, the three towers of Chongsheng Temple are still struggling to carry history and refuse to recede. Just arrange a day and a half to visit Dali.

Transportation:

A: Flying from Kunming, the full ticket is 430 yuan, and discounts are generally available.

B: Train: Not counting additional trains in peak season, there are 4 trains from Kunming to Dali every day, N982, N986, N992, and N996. Except for N996, all other trains are night trains, but the tickets are also Almost all of them are booked in advance by travel agencies - look down on China Railways - so ordinary tourists can only buy 996 tickets. If you decide not to stay in Kunming for too long, you can buy the tickets when you arrive in Kunming.

N996 costs 35 yuan for a hard seat (no air conditioning). It departs at 9:02 in the morning and arrives in Dali at 15:40.

The remaining three trains are night trains, all departing in the evening and arriving in the morning. The fare for hard seats is about 45 yuan. However, as mentioned above, there is little hope of purchasing tickets.

PS: There will be additional trains during peak season, please ask at the train station.

C: Take the high-speed bus in front of Kunming Railway Station. The fare to Dali is about 110 yuan, but the price/performance ratio is not high, so you should do what you can.

Dali is a prefecture-level administrative region. The full name is Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. Our destination is its affiliated Dali City (known locally as "Xiaguan"), and the tourist attractions are in the ancient city of Dali on the outskirts of Dali City.

After arriving at Dali Railway Station (the last station in the southwest on the national railway map, the railway to Lijiang is under construction), take bus No. 8 directly in front of the station and get off at "Eryuan Park", the fare is one yuan. (Except for Route 8, all other bus tickets in Dali are 50 cents, so be prepared with change). When you arrive at Eryuan Park, you are already in the ancient city of Dali.

After getting off the bus, there will be many middle-aged women asking you if you want to visit Cangshan Erhai Lake. Remember their phone numbers or activity areas. There will be people there tomorrow. usefulness.

Accommodation:

Accommodation in Dali is cheap, about 40-45 yuan/day per standard room, and 10-15 yuan/day per bed in an ordinary room. After getting off the bus at Eryuan Park, ask for directions and walk to the Dali Cinema. The road in front of the cinema is the busiest street in the ancient city. You can stay at a hotel on the roadside at the above price.

If you leave in the morning, it should be around five o'clock in the evening after arranging accommodation in Dali. If you are not hungry, hurry up and go to the "Three Pagodas". Facing the main entrance of Dali Cinema, walk to the left and walk all the way to the Zhengyang Gate, the south gate of the ancient city. After taking a photo here, take bus No. 19 to the Three Pagodas.

The three pagodas are located in the courtyard of Chongsheng Temple (also known as Tianlong Temple). Only the three pagodas are historical sites, and the rest of the buildings have been rebuilt. The ticket is 52 yuan (half price with student voucher). The ticket to the Forbidden City in Beijing during the peak season is only 60 yuan. , so I personally think this attraction is quite worthless.

It depends on each individual. If you don’t plan to spend the ticket, you can take bus 19 and get off at the Three Pagodas Reflection Park. This is a good place to take pictures of the Three Pagodas. Tickets cost four yuan (but the managers of the Three Pagodas have bundled the tickets for Reflection Park in order to force tourists to enter the Three Pagodas Scenic Area. However, you can buy individual tickets for four yuan by talking to the ticket seller at Reflection Park.

Come out of Reflection Park and walk to the front of the Three Pagodas. You can just take a look through the gate.

You can still take bus No. 19 and get off at "Foreigner Street" after coming back from the Three Pagodas. If you have a lot of people, you can also take the carriage in front of the Three Towers. The fare is one yuan per person on average, so you have to negotiate. It’s not dark yet. You can go in from the Foreigner Street entrance and go downhill and cross a road. Have some barbecue for dinner.

PS: It’s best not to have dinner in restaurants in the ancient city. The owners of restaurants are very small-scale peasants and have a bad attitude. . However, the barbecue prices here are relatively reasonable. I highly recommend grilled fish and shrimps.

You can hang out in Foreigner Street or go to the bar after dark, and then you will feel the meaning of coming to Dali.

Return to the hotel before 24:00 and end the first day in Dali

Day two in Dali:

Get up early and have breakfast (it is recommended to walk to the right with your back to the cinema). The rice noodle shop at the second store in the northeast corner of the intersection costs 2 yuan a bowl and is very delicious.)

When you have breakfast, you will probably be asked by the middle-aged women mentioned above if you want to go swimming. Cangshan Erhai, bargain with her, generally 20-30 yuan/person for a sea tour, 50 yuan/person for the Cangshan large ropeway, 30 yuan/person for the small ropeway (if you go to Cangshan, it is best to take the large ropeway)

Qian Don't buy tickets at the entrance of the scenic spots yourself, otherwise they will be much more expensive.

In my personal opinion, you can take a tour of Erhai Lake, but the cruise will stop at 2 scenic spots on the way, and you need to pay for the tickets yourself, including:

Tianjing Pavilion/Guanyin Pavilion: Tickets are 10 yuan, half price for students (I personally think there is no need to stay)

Jinsuo Island: Tickets are 3 yuan.

(This island is a small island inhabited by the Bai people. It is full of native Bai people. You can go up there and have lunch on the way, but be sure to ask about the price before eating. In addition, the Bai aunt on the island will take you to drink three courses of tea. Try it. Yes, but she offers 15 yuan/person, you can get it if you bargain for 3 yuan/person)

After visiting Erhai Lake around noon, you can take bus No. 2 at the pier to go back to the ancient city. , continue to visit Cangshan Mountain in the afternoon.

If you still want to go to Lijiang, you can omit Cangshan and save time to go to Xizhou to see the Yan Family Courtyard (take the No. 2 bus at the pier and get off at the Lida intersection – the No. 2 bus generally does not charge station, so say hello to the driver in advance - transfer to the minibus from Xiaguan to "Xizhou", ticket 2 yuan/person)

Yan Family Courtyard: ticket 10 yuan, Half price for students. The Yan Family Courtyard is divided into the new courtyard and the old courtyard. A 10 yuan ticket allows you to visit both courtyards. The layout of the two courtyards is similar. The new courtyard looks good in photos, but if it were real it would still belong to the old courtyard.

Xizhou’s dada is very famous. The authentic ones at the alley entrance to Yan’s old courtyard cost 2 yuan each. If you don’t care about food, you can buy two for dinner.

Not far from the Yan family compound is the Butterfly Spring, but the butterflies are no longer there, leaving only the dry well to accompany the throngs of tourists. Tickets: 20 yuan. For specific routes, you can ask the minibus flight attendant or locals.

Whether it is Cangshan Mountain, Xizhou Houses or Butterfly Spring, it is just a fun place for tourists to watch - hitting the children on a rainy day is also idle - after all, Dali is a stop on the Yunnan trip, now that we are here~ ~~

If you find it too troublesome, you can take a local one-day tour on your second day in Dali, which costs about 120 yuan/person, but you must be cautious again.

After visiting Dali, you can choose to go to Lijiang or go directly to Shangri-La. (If you want to adapt to the plateau altitude all the way, it is recommended to go to Lijiang first)

I personally recommend taking a night sleeper bus directly (you can order it at a private booking point in the ancient city, and I personally recommend the one downstairs at the Golden Flower Hotel at Yangrenjiekou The landlady at the ticket booking point was very enthusiastic) We went directly to Shangri-La and arrived the next morning. If you arrange this way, you can not only save one night's time and accommodation costs, but also save the 160 yuan entry fee for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (see below). In addition, your subsequent itinerary in Lijiang will be more flexible.

If you want to go to Lijiang first, you can book a ticket for the next morning. Ordinary minibus is 47 yuan/person, and luxury express is 79 yuan/person. Arrive in Lijiang in four hours.

Third stop Shangri-La

Shangri-La was originally a place mentioned by an American named Hilton in his novel "Lost Horizon". In order to develop tourism, the people of Yunnan renamed the original Zhongdian County to Shangri-La County after receiving expert advice, which is affiliated with the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province. The Shangri-La area we usually indicate when traveling is also very bright, such as Meili Snow Mountain, Haba Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge, etc. all belong to this area. The area is not only high in altitude, but also has inconvenient transportation. You must be mentally prepared before coming. Here, I will only post a simplified version of the route guide.

Only two days can be arranged to visit the scenic spots in Zhongdian County.

The first day

Generally, vehicles will arrive in Zhongdian County before noon. After arriving, you can find a place to stay immediately. We recommend a place called the Fire Brigade Guest House (you can take a taxi). Although the environment is not very hygienic, the beds are passable. In addition, the price is extremely cheap, 10 yuan/person. The most important thing is that there are many chartered cars right in front of the hotel, which is very convenient.

If you arrive in Zhongdian in the morning, you can first take a minibus at the bus station (ticket 3-5 yuan) to Napahai (ticket 10 yuan) and return at noon. If you arrive at Zhongdian at noon, you can skip the Napa Sea. There will be many such scenery after that.

In the afternoon, ask for directions and walk to the No. 3 bus stop (fare is 1 yuan) to the destination, Garden Songtsenling Monastery. Songzanlin Temple is known as the Little Potala Palace and is well worth a visit. (Ticket is 30 yuan, no student tickets)

Songzanlin Monastery is a Tibetan Buddhist temple. Here you will realize what real Buddhist monks are like. They will not travel like the above mentioned The secular monks in the Buddhist temples on the tour routes try their best to make or defraud tourists of their money. All expenses except tickets are voluntary. You can ask the living Buddha to touch your forehead for blessings, or you can ask the young lama to pray for you in the main hall. He will give you a bracelet, and you can give you any money for incense, ranging from a few cents to a few hundred.

The tickets for Songzanlin Temple are the cheapest and the most value for money among all the scenic spots in Yunnan. However, it is possible to evade the ticket. After arriving at the main entrance of the temple, keep walking along the stone road. After walking through an iron gate, you entered the scenic spot. Save the 10 yuan and donate it to the temple or buy a prayer wheel (the minimum price is 25 yuan). If you have a prayer wheel, you will be closer to the Buddha.

The itinerary for the first day in Zhongdian should be relaxed. The altitude of Zhongdian is more than 3,000 meters, and altitude sickness is not known.

The next day

The famous attractions in Zhongdian include Pudacuo National Forest Park and Baishui Terrace, both of which are on the road from Zhongdian to Xiahutiao. However, public transportation is inconvenient and you basically need to charter a car. When chartering a car, it is best to gather a few more people, and then tell the driver to go directly to Daju County (by the Jinsha River) instead of returning to Zhongdian after visiting Baishui Terrace. In this way, you will discover the uniqueness of the designed route after you walk through it. Wonderful thing.

The fare for a chartered bus from Zhongdian to Daju County is RMB 500-600 per vehicle.

Eat a full meal in the morning, because you may have to eat lunch and dinner together.

Pudacuo National Forest Park, admission fee is 190, recommended in summer and autumn.

Baishui Terrace: a unique natural wonder formed by erosion. Tickets are 50 yuan, half price with student ID. In fact, the scenic spots are not worth that much money, but again: now that we are here~~~

There are many restaurants coming down from Baishuitai Scenic Area. You can go further along the downhill road. I particularly recommend one called The proprietress of the small "flavor restaurant" shop is very down-to-earth, so you can bargain with her for a little price. It’s best to order a plate of Yunnan’s specialty mushrooms – Ji Cong. You can eat it in this shop for just over 20 yuan. Hum, if you were in Kunming, it would be five times. After dinner, I picked up two bottles of spring water in her backyard and brought it with me. It was no worse than bottled water.

After eating, get on the bus and head to Daju County. The road is difficult to walk at first, but after all, "infinite scenery lies in the dangerous peaks". On this road, you will pass by Haba Snow Mountain. If you are lucky, you can see the snow on the top of the mountain.

When you go to the Jinsha River, you will see the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and all of this is free.

The chartered car can only be sent to the Jinsha River. After finding a ferry (5-10 yuan per person) to cross the river, it will be late, but you still have to walk a few more steps to the seat of the Daju Township Government. For accommodation nearby, I recommend a hotel called Snowflake Inn. It's clean, and the proprietress is also friendly. She can provide meals and customize them according to the situation.

On the third day

You can choose to walk the Tiger Leaping Gorge – a dream for many people. Go upstream from Xiahutiao and pass through the canyon between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain to reach Lijiang. But you have to be fully prepared and it takes about two days. Tiger Leaping Gorge is also charging tickets, but you can escape. This kind of garbage ticket does not escape our superior socialist system. The method is to ask the locals

If you are not in the mood to hike Tiger Leaping, then book a bus ticket to Lijiang tomorrow at the hotel; 63 yuan from Daju to Maoniuping (middle cableway), 40 yuan to Yunshanping Yuan, 35 Yuan to Lijiang City.

The most important thing is that if you are lucky and no one detects it, you will unknowingly save the 160 yuan (80 yuan to enter the mountain) that you must pay to enter the snow mountain from Lijiang. We will continue to despise Lijiang’s unreasonable entrance fees, 80 yuan ancient city maintenance fee) and super unreasonable mountain entry fees - only then will you realize how worth the money you spent on chartering the car yesterday.

Fourth stop Lijiang

Lijiang’s scenery is indeed beautiful, but Lijiang’s tourism management is as bad as its scenery nationwide, ranking first and second best.

The first day

If you come from Daju, have a full meal before getting on the bus, and then get off directly at Maoniuping and take the middle ropeway to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (round trip 60 on the ropeway) Yuan, no student ticket), if you are lucky, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain when there is no fog. In one word: it is so beautiful.

There are three cableways on the snow mountain, namely the Maoniuping middle cableway mentioned above, the Yunshanping small cableway (40 yuan) at the next stop of the shuttle bus, and the newly developed large cableway ( 160 yuan) The first two ropeways can see the snow-capped mountains from a distance, while the latter can directly take tourists to the snow-covered areas of the snow-capped mountains. But relatively speaking, the middle cableway in Maoniuping is relatively cost-effective. For tourists from the north, it is not worth spending 160 yuan to see the snow. In addition, I personally think that the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a place that can only be viewed from a distance but not played with. The development of the large ropeway is purely a group of idiot officials who waste everything for vested interests. This kind of direct contact between humans and the snow mountain is undeniably damaging to the snow mountain. And metaphorical. Once again, I despise the top tourism management in Lijiang area.

PS: No matter which ropeway you take, you must wear a coat, it is relatively cold on the mountain.

You can take the No. 7 bus from the ropeway (note that you have to take a minibus instead of a minivan, although they are both No. 7). The ticket collection rules are: Maoniuping-Yunshanping (Baishui River)-Lijiang City, each two adjacent stops charges 5 yuan/person.

The Baishui River is worth a visit. Although it is artificial, it is also very beautiful. No charge.

Newly developed attractions such as Ganhaizi, Yushui Village, and Dongba Valley are newly developed on the snow mountain. Personally, I think they are of little significance, especially the Dongba Valley, which is just a place to eat, which is simply vulgar. In addition, don’t trust any tour guides and businessmen easily on the snow-capped mountains. Remember.

If you enter the Snow Mountain from Lijiang City, the route is the same as above except that you pay a 160 yuan entrance fee and travel in the opposite direction. But go to the snow-capped mountains early rather than late, otherwise you may have to wait in line for a long time to take the ropeway.

The Old Town of Lijiang is close to the New Town. You must stay in the Old Town. There are many inns in the Old Town, but there are not many inns with good value for money and good reputation. I personally recommend it to two freshly graduated college students, purely for fun and fun. I stayed at an inn run by friends, the Free Life Inn. I stayed there for a few days and drank with them every day. I got drunk for a few days. Shitou and Yufei were both very talkative and fun people. I was also there before going to Lijiang. I became familiar with them on the Lijiang Self-guided Tour Forum. They are all moderators. They gave me a lot of advice and guidance so that I could complete my itinerary so smoothly. It is most refreshing to lie in the yard of Free Life Inn and bask in the sun. You can get it almost from morning to night, and it is very comfortable. If you want to travel independently in Lijiang and want to live comfortably, this is definitely the right place. .

The Free Life Inn is near Mufu. If you can't find it, you can call Shitou at 1357848940 or the inn at 0888-5185778.

As a student, don't eat in the ancient city. That's not the price of the primary stage of socialism. . Opposite the large waterwheel in the front of the ancient city, there is a facade without a signboard. The food sold inside is just like a college cafeteria, and it is pretty good. Opposite the parking lot of the ancient city, there is a Kunming "***Qiaoxiangyuan Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles" chain store. The taste is good. Friends from other places can try it, but each item is 2 yuan more expensive than in Kunming (Kunming people all eat a set of 8 yuan). That kind of thing, just try it, there is no need to eat the kind that costs 12 yuan a set). The legendary Lijiang Baba is very famous, but they sell for 6 yuan each in the ancient city. Whoever buys it is the winner~~~~~ However, when walking on the more remote streets in the ancient city, you may encounter the kind of small stalls set up by yourself. If you I think the price is reasonable and I might try it, especially the chicken bean jelly.

You can listen to Naxi ancient music in the evening, but it must be hosted by Xuanke. Although some people in Yunnan academic circles believe that it is not real Naxi music, due to its great fame, the concert tickets for the elderly are still rising: A ticket is 160 yuan, a B ticket is 140 yuan, and a C ticket is 120 yuan. It's up to you.

Let tonight be spent in the flowing water.

The next day

There are no must-visit attractions in the morning. You can go to the legendary Black Dragon Pool Park. The ticket is 60 yuan, half price for students - you might as well grab it. However, I heard that tickets are free before 7 o'clock in the morning, or if you show your Guwei ticket, you can get free of charge. I haven’t tried it myself – for a normal person who has been to Pudacuo National Forest Park and seen the entire snow-capped mountains, what’s the point of going to that so-called “park”.

The ticket price for the Wangu Tower, which overlooks the panoramic view of the ancient city, is 15 yuan, but this is pure nonsense.

It is necessary to visit the "Mufu" in the afternoon, the ticket is 35 yuan, one student voucher is 20 yuan, two tickets are 35 yuan. Although the ticket price is close to that of the Forbidden City in Beijing during the off-season, it can be regarded as the most well-managed tourist attraction in the entire western Yunnan region. There is a free explanation at the door, which is quite interesting. Just be careful: just like in the Stone Forest, don’t follow him to buy wine, tea, draw lots and worship Buddha.

After dinner at Free Life Inn and Shitou Yufei, we had free time to explore the night view of Lijiang. If you have petty bourgeoisie money or petty bourgeoisie temperament, then go clubbing. Very cool, very bluesy.

The third day

The arrangements for the third day are decided by each person:

If the car fails during the day, it is best to get up early and leave early, so that you can arrive. If you take the night train back to Kunming, you can get up early and take some photos in the ancient city. If it is daytime, the background of your photos will only be people. After taking photos, you can go to Shuhe Ancient Town.

To go to Shuhe Ancient Town, you can rent a bicycle in the ancient town or take a van. But if you want to take a minibus, don’t take the special line at the gate of the ancient city. Instead, ask for directions and walk to the Likelon Supermarket on “Shangri-La Avenue” in the new city and take a minivan from “Longquan” (fare is 2 yuan). Get off the car at the roundabout in front of Shuhe Town, then turn west onto the dirt road and walk into Shuhe, so you can avoid the 30 yuan entrance fee to the ancient town.

There are several ways to return to your hometown from Lijiang:

A: Fly directly from Lijiang Airport back to your city

B: Go back to Kunming from Lijiang first

a) Flying back to Kunming, the full ticket is 740 yuan, and there are usually discounts. Specific inquiries.

b) Take the express train back to Kunming, the fare is 190 yuan

c) Take the night sleeper bus back to Kunming, the fare is 152 yuan.

d) Take the high-speed express (79 yuan) or minibus (47 yuan) back to Dali, and then transfer to the train in Dali back to Kunming. This route is the most economical. If you have enough time, even if you can't buy a same-day train ticket in Dali, it is still cost-effective to stay in Dali New Town for one day. In the evening, you can also see the night view of Dali and the ball culture buildings with Dali characteristics.

PS: 1. No matter what souvenirs you buy in Lijiang, you must bargain for about one-third of the asking price.

2. Rental in Lijiang city is 7 yuan.

Summary:

The route mentioned in this article, excluding the toll from the departure point to Yunnan, costs about 1,300 yuan per person, and basically covers most of the scenic spots on this route. . But food and accommodation may be slightly lacking. The whole journey takes about 10 days.

When visiting Yunnan, be sure to avoid peak periods. Don’t come at all on May Day, National Day and the Spring Festival, otherwise you will be very depressed.

The socialist market economy has its own laws of operation. However, on this route where tourism management is not very perfect, we still need to flexibly use and rationally use all available experience and means to enhance the quality of our tourism. I believe that under the correct leadership of the Party Central Committee and with the continuous efforts of governments at all levels, the tourism market of our great motherland will surely become more brilliant, and the entire Chinese people will surely achieve a comprehensive harvest of material and spiritual civilization in the near future!

Supplementary information:

1 When you return to Kunming during a one-day tour of Stone Forest, the tour guide will lead you to a free foot bath. Remember that bathing is okay, but don’t do anything they advise you to do. Buy their medicine and don't be embarrassed to say no. And the tricks mentioned above are applicable to the whole province, so be careful.

2 The consumption level in Yunnan is not high. Except in high-end restaurants, the price of ordinary local dishes is OK. The average vegetarian dish is about 3-5 yuan, and the half-vegetarian and half-vegetarian dish (such as green pepper meat slices) is 6-8 yuan. It costs about 10-12 yuan, and home-cooked meat dishes cost about 10-12 yuan.

Except for ordinary restaurants in Kunming, most restaurants in Yunnan do not have menus. You order directly based on the ingredients, so be sure to ask about the price before ordering. You can bargain appropriately according to the above standards, and ask the waiter to write down the negotiated price immediately. On the list.

3 There are many places selling silver jewelry in Dali and Lijiang. Note that if you want to buy pure silver, buy the kind sold by the gram. Never buy the so-called Tibetan silver. You must know that Tibetans call white copper silver.

4 When staying in Lijiang, it is best to choose an inn with a good reputation. It is better to spend a few more dollars, because it is a kind of enjoyment in traveling.

5 When going up the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, some locals will suggest that you ride a horse up the mountain. Make your decision carefully. If you decide to ride a horse, be sure to bargain boldly with him.
