Due to the limitation of geographical conditions, the life of Nu people is very difficult.

What is the experience of traveling to Yunnan alone?

Check the map and set the route.

Based on the consideration of human scenery, comfort, safety and time, I initially decided to go to Kunming, Dali and Lijiang.

Spread out Baidu & check the location of the three places, check the weather conditions in various places during the trip, and then check the prices of round-trip air tickets, high-speed rail tickets and train tickets. Considering the time cost and expense cost, the route is determined as Kunming & rarrDali & rarr Lijiang.

Do raiders, take stock.

After the route is determined, start writing strategies. My strategy is quite detailed: where to go every day, what scenic spots and food are there in each place, the bus route to take, the time needed and the bus fare, the original price of scenic spots tickets and Ctrip/Meituan fares, and related matters needing attention. ......

My friend read my strategy and joked that I could go to Yunnan to test the feasibility of the strategy, and then come back and sell it directly online.

Well, here is the raiders map. I feel that the actual itinerary is slightly different from the raiders.

After reading the raiders, I also made a list of things for myself, and wrote down the clothes and travel supplies I need to bring one by one, and prepared myself against the list in case I left anything behind.

For me, watching other people's strategies doesn't mean following other people's routes. More is to know the precautions through other people's travel, so that you can be fully prepared, such as: don't talk to strangers casually; Yunnan has a large temperature difference between day and night, so you should bring thick clothes; Strong ultraviolet rays, you should apply sunscreen; The climate is dry, you should bring moisturizing lotion ... this is all the information I got through the raiders.

Book air tickets and rooms

To determine the route and strategy, you need to buy air tickets, high-speed rail tickets, train tickets, hotel accommodation and scenic spots tickets online in advance.

As it is the off-season of tourism, I bought my trip to Guangzhou in advance &; Rarr Kunming high-speed rail ticket, Lijiang &; Rarr Guangzhou air ticket, Kunming youth travel accommodation, others are booked while playing.

You also need to download several apps on your mobile phone in advance, such as Ctrip and Baidu Maps. If you don't want to install it, now WeChat also has related small programs, which are very convenient to use. (Oh ~ I accidentally advertised ~)

Get ready.

I have made enough preparations, but I still feel a little uneasy. Everything is unknown. I don't know who I will meet and what will happen along the way.

But since it's decided, let's go. Anyway, I am so good at survival, I know the way, I am patient, I am polite, I am scheming, I am kind-hearted, and I am loved by everyone.

First stop: Kunming (2 days)

It takes about 6 hours to take the high-speed train from Guangzhou South Railway Station to Kunming South Railway Station. The scenery along the high-speed rail is good, there are several tunnels, and the cell phone signal has been cut off. If you don't want to sleep, you can take a book to watch on the high-speed rail, or download a movie/TV series in advance to watch on your mobile phone.

In Kunming, I don't have much time to stay. After deducting the time of taking the high-speed train, it was 1 day, and I visited Yunnan University, Yunnan Normal University (the former site of National Southwest Associated University) and Cuihu. I originally planned to go to Dianchi Lake, but the weather was bad and I gave up temporarily.

Yunnan University (Wuhua Campus)

There are hundreds of families in Huize, ranking first in the world. Dayun is one of the earliest universities in western China, adjacent to Cuihu Park. It is quiet and quaint, with unique architectural style, and Chinese and European styles complement each other. Walking among them is like walking in the Republic of China.

Huize Courtyard, Yingqiu Courtyard, Gong Yuan, Zhigongtang, Yingqiu Building and Bell Tower are all worthy of appreciation, and each building has its own unique historical significance and artistic value.

For example, there are 95 steps from the south gate to Hui Ze Garden, which means "the honour of the Ninth Five-Year Plan".

Yingqiu Building, designed and built by Liang Sicheng and Lin, combines Chinese and western styles, which embodies Liang and Lin's exploration thinking on China architecture.

On the tree in Dayun, there are little squirrels jumping around. Just pass the food and it will run towards you. Eating food is really easy. )

Here, I met my first friend on the journey &; Mdash& ampmdash peaches.

Peaches come from Xiamen and travel alone. Wherever we go, we can meet by chance. After meeting four or five times, we smiled at each other and began to break the barrier. You chatted with me in a word. How wonderful and magical it is to meet in the world. I must have brought my own good character. (smug face)

Yunnan Normal University (former site of National Southwest Associated University)

Normal University is smaller than Dayun, where the former site, memorial hall, tomb of martyrs and monument of National Southwest United University are preserved, and its unique historical significance attracts many tourists.

The National Southwest Associated University Monument written by Feng Youlan, Wen Yiduo and Luo Yong records the beginning and end of the conference, which is worth seeing.

Lvhu park

Cuihu Park is quiet. The green lake is full of water, trees and waves. This is a good place to relax.

It is said that red-billed gulls come here for the winter every year, which is very spectacular. Unfortunately, I came at a bad time.

About food

Dai-style hand-grabbed rice, pickled Luda, bean curd rice noodles, bean jelly, Baba ... all of which have never been seen in Guangdong. Eat everywhere.

My senior sister who works in Kunming took me to eat Dai flavor, which is very unique. Dai flavor is the characteristic of Dai food culture, which is famous for its sour and spicy flavor. Hand-grabbed rice and paoluda are both delicious, and friends who are not picky about food can try them when they have a chance.

About accommodation

As there are plans to visit Yunnan University and Cuihu in my itinerary, I booked a room in a youth travel agency called "Someday" near Yunnan University. Mdash& ampmdash tatami single room.

The "One-Day Tour" Youth Hostel is located in Yuanxi Road, with a unique layout and a particularly clean and comfortable environment, which won my favor. It's just the off-season, and it's raining again in Kunming. I'm the only one in the whole youth tour. In this way, I used 98 yuan to contract a whole youth tour for one night, hahaha ~

My friend went to Kunming and wanted to live here. You can ask me for my wife's WeChat. She is beautiful and super nice.

Second stop: Dali (3 days)

On the second night in Kunming, I went to Dali by train. Arrive at Dali Railway Station, close to 7 am. Well, yes, I slept in the sleeper on the train for one night, saving time and accommodation for one night.

When I got off the train, Dali people were very enthusiastic and kept asking if you wanted to take a bus, stay or go to Cangshan Erhai Lake ... I just smiled and shook my head and took my suitcase to the ancient city of Dali.

Shangguanhua, Xiaguan Peak, Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon. In this way, I started a romantic trip in Dali, strolling through the ancient city of Dali, riding Erhai Lake, climbing Cangshan Mountain, visiting Tianlong Babu Film and Television City and visiting Dali University.

Dali

Dali Ancient City, referred to as Yucheng for short, was built in the 15th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1382) and is one of the first historical and cultural cities in China. The ancient city faces Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west, which is simple and quiet.

In the clear streams, simple and elegant Bai traditional houses can be seen everywhere. No matter rich or poor, Dali Bai people will plant flowers and grass in the yard. Therefore, the ancient city of Dali also has the saying that "every family has running water and every family raises flowers".

There are all kinds of shops specializing in tie-dyeing and straw weaving in the city, as well as Bai restaurants and inns. Some of them are commercialized, but compared with Lijiang, they are not bad.

You can visit Literature Building, Wuhua Building, Cheng Nan Building and Foreigners Street. Singing at night, the pedestrian street is full of people, which is more lively.

On the first day in Dali, I met my second friend on the trip &; Mdash& ampmdash Hunan's sister paper Gong Qing. We both called the boss of the youth travel agency at the same time, and I connected first. She was on the phone when she called. When I dragged my suitcase to the door of the youth travel agency, I met Gong Qing who was on the phone.

All the encounters in the world are so wonderful. In this way, we checked our luggage together and met in go to dali.

Erhai

Erhai Lake is actually not a sea, but the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan. Because it looks like an ear, it is named Erhai Lake.

Erhai Lake is around the lake 150 kilometers, and it takes at least 1 day to drive an electric motorcycle. It happened to be the Dali Marathon and the renovation of Erhai Lake, so I only rode for a short time. Two people have an electric motorcycle. It's a good deal to ride for 50 yuan a day, and it won't be as tired as riding a bike.

On the first day, Gong Qing and I stepped on mobike to go around the lake. The journey was long and tiring, but on the way back, I enjoyed it very much and I will never forget it.

It's dark in Dali, and it's still on at 8 pm. We'll be back after 8: 00. It's getting dark. The road is very empty and long, and it is very quiet all the way. Occasionally, there are insects singing, and go to dali is playing on the mobile phone, which makes the body and nerves relax as never before.

Green mountain range

Cangshan snow, which is not needed after summer, is a must in Cangshan landscape. When you come to Dali, you must go to Cangshan.

During the youth travel, I temporarily organized a group with several other friends who traveled alone and went to Cangshan together. Yin, the boy who led the team, came to Dali to run a marathon. His light touched our half-price Cangshan ticket. (Ha ha ha, I saved a little more. Please praise my diligence and housekeeping (-)(v)

Cangshan is more than 4000 meters above sea level. For those of us who come to play, it is impossible to climb up with our bare hands. We took a cable car from the foot of Cangshan Mountain to an altitude of about 3000 meters, and then climbed.

When you get to the mountain, there may be altitude sickness, and some tourists try their best to suck with oxygen bottles. I don't have any response. Don't climb too hard when climbing the mountain. Walk slowly, occasionally stop to eat a rose candy, slow down, and then keep walking.

The temperature on the mountain is low, it snows a little, and the air conditioning is filled, just like walking into an air conditioning cabinet. There is a down jacket for rent on the cable car, and I brought a windbreaker, which is basically not cold. There are also small partners who boldly undress and take photos directly with short sleeves, which is commendable. There should be applause here. )

After walking 1 more hours, I slowly climbed to the observation deck at an altitude of 3966m in Ximatan. I have overcome many small difficulties and have a great sense of accomplishment in climbing here. Ha ha ha, I really want to laugh three times ~ ~

When I went down the mountain by cable car, my sister-in-law was afraid of heights and was particularly nervous. I turned on my mobile phone and played Jay Chou's "Confession Balloon" to ease their nervousness, and the atmosphere in the cable car became relaxed and happy.

Now every time I hear this song, I always think of going to Cangshan.

Tianlong Babu Movie and Television City

A finger is raised, and the six-pulse Excalibur ... "Tianlong Babu" has given the world a martial arts dream, and it is still full of emotions and blood boiling.

Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. After climbing Cangshan Mountain, you can go for a stroll, feel the life of Dali Kingdom and Duan Wangye, and fantasize about Duan Gongzi who is personable.

Dali University

Go to dali, a university in go to dali.

Dali University is backed by Cangshan Mountain and faces Erhai Lake, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, with a broad vision and a magnificent atmosphere. There, there is a feeling of "flying in the world, a drop in the ocean". The feeling of the venue is stronger than in the photo 10000 times.
