Which is better, the southern line or the northern line of Yunnan?

The southern line is better.

1. Natural landscape: The southern line has the most magnificent natural landscape in Yunnan, such as Old Town of Lijiang, Lugu Lake and Shangri-La. This place is famous for its unique landscape, and plateau lakes and snow-capped mountains have left a deep impression on people. There are few natural landscapes in the northern line, and the main attractions are Kunming Cuihu and Dali Erhai Lake. This place also has some beautiful scenery. Compared with the southern line, it lacks magnificent and diverse characteristics on the whole.

2. Cultural characteristics: Old Town of Lijiang on the southern line is a world cultural heritage, which retains the unique traditional culture of Naxi people. Visitors can feel the rich historical atmosphere of the ancient city and taste Naxi music, dance and food. The cultural experience of the northern line is less, and the natural scenery is the main one. There are also some ethnic minorities living in the northern line, such as the Bai people in Dali and the Naxi people in Lijiang.
