Tour for two from Hefei to Lijiang and Lugu Lake in Yunnan in June. Please ask friends who have been there to provide help with weather, accommodation, routes, etc.!

We have just come back and recommend a self-guided tour.

My personal opinion to answer your questions:

1. Go directly from Hefei to Lijiang by plane! I’m going to go in June. If I book my flight three months in advance, I think I can get up to 30% off

2. Yunnan has a big temperature difference between morning and evening. If you want to go out to visit the ancient city at night, you still need to bring a long-sleeved jacket. Yes, it’s okay to wear a skirt during the day. You need to bring an umbrella, it can be used to protect yourself from rain and sun! The other thing you need to bring is a large-capacity memory card for your camera or camcorder

3. Lijiang and Dali are not far away by car, about 2 hours apart. There are ancient cities in both places, which are worth a visit and snacks. I personally only like to eat salmon from Lijiang. I eat three kinds of fish: boiled fish head in soup, fried fish skin, and raw fish fillet. Other snacks include black goat hot pot, cured pork ribs, and wild mushrooms (it seems that I can go here in June). There are wild mushrooms to eat, such as porcini, pig mushrooms, chicken liver mushrooms, etc. However, please note that wild mushrooms must be cooked for 15 minutes and cooked before they can be eaten. It is best to ask the local waiter or store clerk when cooking. If you can't eat it, you can eat it again. We also ate some this time, not much because it was not in season). There is also a kind of cake, which is said to be a local snack. I saw an old mother selling it in the ancient city. The following is It's a white cake with a red top and some sesame seeds sprinkled on it. It's sweet and tastes average. There are a lot of other snacks, but I don't even have the desire to eat them, so... I can't help you

4. There are many inns in the ancient city. It is said that they are quite cheap (you can stay at a good one at this price) and you can cook by yourself. The store provides cooking utensils and you pay for a meal. If there are many people, it is very affordable!

5. It is difficult to estimate the cost, because the air tickets, meals and drinks are all decided by yourself. It is relatively clear that accommodation costs less than 100 yuan per person per day
