Traveling from Xi 'an to Yunnan by car Dali Lijiang Kunming Ruili Xishuangbanna Shangri-La should go there first.

My friend, it is not wrong that you like to drive by car, but the route you choose covers the northwest and south directions of Yunnan, which are not connected with each other. I suggest you look at the map of Yunnan province first and study it well. If you come over, I'll tell you, you go to Kunming first, then go to dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La. These places are all in the northwest of Kunming, with expressway all the way, but you should pay more attention to the road conditions in Shangri-La. It is easy to fog there, and the speed limit is slow, so the road is very dangerous. You should be more careful when driving. You can drive back to Dali after this line, and Dali has a high-speed to Ruili. The worst place on your route is Xishuangbanna. Xishuangbanna is at the southernmost tip of Yunnan, so it is not in the same direction as other places. If you go from Ruili to Xishuangbanna, even if you drive, it will take about 10 hour by car. If possible, I suggest you fly to Xishuangbanna in Tengchong for two days, and then go back to Tengchong. Of course, the ticket from Kunming to Banna is cheaper. You can also drive back to Kunming and fly to Banna. After all, when you finally return to Xi, you still have to leave Kunming. Please pay attention to our Yunnan Travel Network (www.kmlygs.com) for more Yunnan travel strategies, and hope to adopt them!
