The Best Route of road trip in Yunnan Great Ring Road

Yunnan is a province with many scenic spots and attracts a large number of tourists every year. So which route in Yunnan is most suitable for go on road trip? This is the best route guide for you to play in road trip.

Yunnan Great Ring Road is connected in series with National Highway 2 13, Yunnan-Tibet Line 2 14, National Highway 2 19 and Red River Ring Road. Almost all places in northwest Yunnan (Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La) and southwest Yunnan (Tengchong, Lincang, Pu 'er and Banna).

) and all parts of central Yunnan (Honghe and Yuxi).

Section 1 Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Deqin

The first section is a very classic route in northwest Yunnan, which has been popular for decades and is also the starting point of the Tibet Line. Starting from Kunming all the way to the west, the altitude rises. First pass Chuxiong, the hometown of dinosaurs and Yuanmou people. There are sites, fossils and soil forests, which are very suitable for family trips and children's visits. Chuxiong is a famous wild mushroom kingdom. If you come in July and August, you must stop eating wild mushrooms before you go on the road.

The next stop is Dali. Life in Dali will slow down, but the wind in Shimonoseki will not. In the field market, Erhai Lake and Renmin Road, there are many strangers sitting together to drink beer and coffee for free. The casual atmosphere of life is really casual enough. It is recommended to book a homestay by Erhai Lake in the off-season of tourism. As long as you stay for one day, the whole person's pace will slow down unconsciously.

Compared with Dali where many cultures gather, Lijiang, which is 2 hours' drive from Dali, has a stronger national flavor. From here, take out a warm and cold suit. Even in summer, as long as it rains, Lijiang will instantly become winter. If you want to find a smaller ancient city, go to Baisha Ancient Town and Yuhu Village under the Snow Mountain. Many old houses even have stone walls. Living under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with small bridges and flowing water passing through the ancient city, Lijiang has a clever magic.

Starting from Lijiang, it will be a fork in the road If you have enough time, you can go to Lugu Lake in ninglang county in the northeast. Starting from the west side of Lijiang, along the 2 14 national highway, we arrived at the next stop, Shangri-La. First, Shigu Town has the first bay of the Yangtze River. There is a photo of the first bay of the Yangtze River, which may add points to your journey. Continue to the north, through the Pentium Tiger Leaping Gorge and the quiet Haba Snow Mountain, all the way to Shangri-La.

If a person must go to a place in his life, then I think it is Shangri-La, the grassland under Songzanlin Temple, the Blue Moon Valley behind Shika Snow Mountain, and Feilai Temple coincides with Meili Snow Mountain and Rizhao Jinshan. Everyone went to Shangri-La to find the answer. After the disappearing horizon, there are immortal songs and dances. For me, Shangri-La's answer is to adjust yourself before you leave. Pass by the fork in the road of balague Zong, cross Baima Snow Mountain, meet Meili, and arrive at Deqin County. The first trip is over.

Section 2 Deqin-Gongshan-Fugong-Tengchong

From Deqin to Gongshan, there is a long unpaved road, which is the most difficult part of the whole journey. From Lancang River basin to Nujiang River basin, it is necessary to cross mountains and mountains. The section less than 100 km is renovated all the year round, and the rotten road is accompanied by peerless scenery. You can see many unknown rainforests and snow-capped mountains along the way. Try to pass during the day.

When arriving at the Gongshan checkpoint, the dangerous road section was temporarily closed. Moving on, arriving at Bingzhongluo, the mystery and beauty of the Nujiang River gradually hit. The next section to Tengchong will pass through Nujiang Prefecture. First, wuli village, Qiunabang, the first bay of Nujiang River, and the surrounding villages all grow on cliffs.

Continue to Fugong, Robbie Snow Mountain, Zhiziluo and Laomudeng Church, which is a gathering area of ethnic scenic spots and suitable for go on road trip. Zhiziluo was originally the state capital of Nujiang Prefecture. Because of the prediction of geological experts, it moved out of the town as a whole, leaving an empty city. Today, the buildings of that year are still maintained, and some residents have moved back to Zhiziluo. The Robbie Snow Mountain in the distance reflects the ancient city.

When you leave Fugong, you will turn out of the Nujiang River Valley and go south to Tengchong. Compared with the first half, Tengchong is much lower in altitude, richer in climatic conditions and geothermal resources, and is a health resort. Heshun is probably the quietest ancient town on the whole route, with few business and foreign tourists, so you can stop for a few days. Yinxing Village is a seasonal scenic spot, which is only worth visiting in June 5438+065438+ 10. There is no seasonal difference between hot volcano and beihai wetland.

Section 3 Tengchong-Lincang-Cangyuan-Lancang-Xishuangbanna-Pu 'er

The third journey started from Tengchong, which was a drunken dream. Along the way are the ethnic minority areas with the largest amount of drinking and the highest frequency of drinking in Yunnan, including Yi, Dai and Wa.

Hani, Lahu, Jino and all ethnic groups can drink you to death. Passing through the core producing areas of Pu 'er tea and Yunnan coffee. You can go to Lincang and Lancang

Xishuangbanna has seen many ancient tea villages. You can see the fresh coffee fruit growing under the return of the north.

First arrived in Lincang, the hometown of the world. Wengding ancient village has been burned down, and there are Cangyuan cliff paintings in the site. The Wa people here are full of amorous feelings, and the Wawang banquet is a must-eat food. If you don't turn into Ximeng County, Cangyuan is the last Wa settlement in the whole journey. If you want to change Wa food, you must eat enough here.

The next stop is Lancang, Lahu Autonomous County. Jingmai Mountain, between Lancang River and Menghai, is the key mountain scenery. Many villages of different nationalities, such as Laodabao and Nuogan Guzhai, live in the mountains and collect tea for generations. Millennium Tea Garden and Yunzhong Hotel will take you to Jingmai Mountain for three or four days.

After coming down from Jingmai Mountain and going to Jinghong via Menghai, the tropical customs of Xishuangbanna were completely opened. Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, Wangtianshu and Primitive Forest Park can see hundreds of plants in one day. Gaozhuang is the only remaining largest night market in Asia. Put on A Dai clothes and take a group of good photos.

From Xishuangbanna to Pu 'er, the scenic spots are basically related to wild animals. Before arriving in Pu 'er, rhinoceros and red panda can have a close contact through Pu 'er National Park, Red Panda Manor Forest Hotel and Rhinoceros Ping Scenic Area. After arriving in Pu 'er City, the third trip was also completed.

Section 4 Pu 'er-Yuanyang-Jianshui-Mengzi-Puzhehei-Maitreya-Chengjiang-Kunming

The last leg of the trip, starting from Pu 'er, will turn east to southeast Yunnan. In the direction of Yuxi, turn into red river valley from Yuanjiang County, the first stop is Yuanyang County, 1 1 till the following March.

At that time, the landscape of Yuanyang terraced fields was the best in rainy season, and the change of light and shadow was very shocking. In other seasons, crops in Yuanyang terraced fields are lush, and foggy weather takes up most of the time, which is very suitable for the homestay on the top of the mountain to escape the summer.

The next stop is the Red River Urban Agglomeration, the 17-hole Bridge of Jianshui Ancient City, the Ancient City Building and the Lin 'an Small Train. There are too many historical attractions worth punching in in Bise Village of Mengzi. If it is the summer of July and August, when the lotus is in full bloom, you can go to Puzhehei for the summer, and others.

Seasons can be ignored directly.

Next stop, Maitreya City in the north of Honghe Prefecture, where there are many scenic spots and rich hot spring resources. East Fengyun, Jinping, Taiping Lake and Yike Town can all play tricks, from punching cards by network celebrities to in-depth health care. Not far from Maitreya is Fuxian Lake, the lake with the best water quality in the whole process, and the homestay by Fuxian Lake is also worth experiencing.

It takes only 1 hour to return to Kunming from Chengjiang County on the north bank of Fuxian Lake, and returning to Kunming will end the whole journey of Yunnan Great Ring Road.
