A person travels in Kunming and becomes a "local" there.

Someone asked me: What is the meaning of traveling?

I replied: Go to another place and become a "local"

Kunming, a city with four seasons like spring.

March 18, with the landing of the plane, this is my third time in this city. The first time I came here was in the evening, and my friend came to pick me up. Driving with my family for the second time, just passing by; The third time, one person packed a suitcase, and the trip to Kunming officially began.

This time I have only two destinations-Kunming and Puzhehei Village.

Some people may ask, why not go to Lijiang and go to dali? First, I have been there, and second, I just want to focus on one place this time. How about Lijiang in Dali? Let's talk about it later when we have time.

Every time I travel, I will probably make a strategy and use the electronic version for your reference.

Because I will leave Chongqing for Kunming early the next morning, I choose to go to Chongqing one day in advance and stay in the Youth Travel Service near the airport. This youth hostel is a comprehensive shopping mall downstairs, which is convenient for eating, drinking and having fun. In the evening, I strolled to see the movie The Purpose of Dogs.

In fact, every city you go to, you can imagine what you would do if you were a local there, and live the life you want in different cities. Such a trip is much more interesting than your sightseeing tour.

Many people regard Kunming as a transit point, but in my opinion, Kunming, the spring city, is a charming city. At least during the days when I lived there, I liked this city very much.

The weather in Kunming is like spring all the year round. It hardly rains and the sky is blue. In fact, Kunming's urban architecture is different. Looking around, there are many tall buildings, but there are not a few old houses. There is always an illusion of crossing time and space when walking on the road.

The road there is very similar to Chengdu, Sichuan. The roads are flat and wide, and viaducts are everywhere. Recently, the subway has been newly built, which makes it more convenient to travel and saves you a lot of time on the road than before.

For example, when you get off at the airport, you can choose the airport bus or the 9 19 bus series. The subway has not been opened to traffic for some reason. Of course, when you go to Kunming, you might as well enjoy the cycling software in advance, and you will find it is an economical and very convenient way to travel.

It is also necessary to choose your favorite accommodation style. You can find homestays on major websites to determine your favorite style. I suggest you take a proper look at the evaluation, which can be used as a good reference for evaluation. The picture above shows my Tiantai Youth Travel Service in Kunming.

Choosing youth travel can save travel expenses and make more friends. Real youth brigades, their bosses are all people with stories. Chatting with people with stories, you will find that your eyes will gradually widen. In addition, I want to explain a misunderstanding. Not all youth brigades are just beds. Some youth brigades are also a kind of inn with many rooms.

I cleaned up in the youth brigade and strolled out. Because time is tight, I'm going to the scenic spots in the city. Yuantong Temple and Cuihu Lake are my first choices.

Starting from the Youth Travel Service, I followed the mobile phone map to find the subway entrance. Unfortunately, I fainted. I directly asked the passing aunt, found the subway entrance in minutes and bought a ticket to get on the bus. Compared with other cities, I remember that the automatic ticket vending machines in Kunming subway don't accept coins or change (50.20. 10.5. 1).

Colorful Yunnan, the subway one-way ticket is very suitable. I'm sorry to tell you that I forgot where I got off the subway. When traveling, you can check the route on Baidu map in advance.

The day I arrived was the weekend, so there were many pedestrians on the road. I passed Kunming Zoo, and the Cherry Blossom Festival was being held. I decided to give up and go directly to Cuihu. In fact, you don't have to go to the zoo to see cherry blossoms. The main roads in Kunming are planted with cherry blossoms, maybe not so much, so let's avoid weekends.

On the way to Cuihu, I accidentally passed the Yuantong Temple, got the tickets for 6 yuan and got the incense sticks with the tickets. Yuantong Temple, the largest temple in Kunming, is a very traditional architectural structure in China. The concept of the central axis is very obvious. There is an octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake, which is exquisite in all directions, and each side has its own unique charm. At the end of the central axis is a western-style building, similar to the Buddhist building in Thailand, with a white main body. Shuttle in the meantime, there is always a trance in two spaces, intoxicated by the charm of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

Cuihu, the people's park in Kunming, is a place where Kunming people like to gather on weekends. Like parks in every city, it accommodates people of all ages. In the process of their free combination and shuttle, they did what they liked and inadvertently made a documentary recording the real life of Kunming people.

The old people brought their own musical instruments, some consulted each other, some formed a band temporarily, and together with their aunts who loved dancing, the performance began. Square dance is also essential. Modern people are just right. Only you can't think of it. There is no dance that they dare not dance.

Children frolic, fight and play in it, which should be what childhood looks like, carefree and happy. There is also a family trip, cruising in the lake, couples holding hands, looking at the unique beauty of life in Cuihu with a happy smile, perhaps a vision for each other's future.

And I, traveling alone, find the role I want to be, chat with my grandfather, dance with strangers and take pictures of couples. I know I am happy.

The Army Martial Arts Hall is located on the east side of Cuihu Lake, and the yellow buildings are particularly obvious. Its architectural style is quadrangle, which is a square building with a martial arts field in the middle. This scenic spot is free, but it is closed on Mondays.

I like soldiers. My first reaction at that time was to see what ancient soldiers were like. Unfortunately, this Wujiang Concert Hall is quite different from what I expected. First of all, you will see the history, why it was built and used, and then, excellent students, the positive role of Wujiang Hall and its influence on the present. In a word, this is a history museum.

I am only interested in the details of their living environment, dormitory, canteen, infirmary, library, classroom, laboratory, principal's office and their previous papers. Personally, I feel that I have a sense of substitution when I look at these, and I have to spit. At that time, my first impression of their dormitory was actually a bit like a "morgue", with pictures and truth! !

The location of the principal's office is super good, located on the second floor, in the middle of the square, and there is a balcony with a very good view and a relatively high layout at present. As for their papers, take a closer look. Some of them are still in use today. I have to say that our old-timers have extraordinary wisdom and praise them manually.

Yunnan University, one reason is fooling around and making friends, so there are not many photos. Dayun, next to Cuihu Lake, is an old campus. Some buildings in it belong to the protection category, some of which were lived by Chiang Kai-shek and some were designed by Lin Weiyin. Personally, I think it's ok. Compared with many schools, the cloud is not big at all. But the environment is really good. In autumn, you can see cherry blossoms, phoenix trees and occasionally Doby squirrels.

As for the cultural hutong mentioned on the Internet, it's actually not so good. There are many tattoo shops, and people eat more. I think this kind of cultural alley is found around every university.

Then I went to the Maokong and Peanut Bookstore on Baiyun Road. Personally, no matter where I travel, bookstores and markets are all must-see places. Peanut bookstore, the atmosphere is general, its characteristics, books are placed casually, classification labels are handwritten, and book introductions are handwritten. Two old bookcases are the bright spots, with average cost performance.

As for the cat's sky city, there are many cities. I always choose postcards when I go, but I am sad to find that the cat space in Kunming may be a "fake cat space", and there are really too few postcards. Helpless, I had to buy a blank postcard and make it myself. The Maokong in Kunming is the one I think is the worst at present.

Kunming Railway Museum, ticket price 10 yuan, closed on Monday (museum practice). We can see the process of railway development, the hardships of people building railways in the past, and many previous trains, which are very spectacular.

Xiaomi Railway seems to be the only train line running in the city at present. The train is not small, but it belongs to the old green leather train. The whole fare is two yuan, and the one-way trip is nearly one hour.

Crossing the city by train is a different experience. You will pass by schools, markets, main roads, gardens and vegetable fields, and you can see the faces of people waiting on the other side of the fence. Life seems to slow down like this. Listening to the sound of wheels hitting the rails, listening to your favorite music coming from headphones, and the sun shining on your face, life is the most pleasant.

Xishan, get off the millet track and take a bus to the opposite Xishan. Because I want to experience the local people's travel, I decisively gave up the tourist bus and climbed the western hills as happily as the local people. I won't tell you I'm wearing shoes and jeans.

Walking up the Panshan Highway, I surpassed my family, old couple, friends who climbed the mountain with their pets, and of course, some of them climbed the mountain alone like me. I passed a temple called Huating Temple. The reason why I entered the temple is because of the couplet at the door: "There are thousands of sounds of pines, cypresses and bamboos around the temple, and I smile at the sky when I go out." Laughter, which I have always believed in, coincides with life, so I decided to buy a ticket to enter the temple.

There are four temples in 25 yuan, and the most impressive one is Luohan Hall. There are more than 200 arhats with different shapes and expressions, and in the middle is a Guanyin with thousands of hands on all sides, all of which are Buddhist instruments. Bright yellow walls, quiet courtyard, monks come by themselves and meet by destiny.

There is an ancient road not far from the temple, walking up the stairs, shuttling through the Woods, looking at Dianchi Lake from a distance, looking for your own feelings. The biggest gain is to see two old people selling slingshots, the most expensive of which is only a dozen dollars, each of which is handmade.

Nearly an hour and a half, about five or six kilometers, the mountain climbing trip officially ended. Tour in Longmen, Xishan, tickets for 40 yuan, and battery car for 25 yuan (seems to be). I wanted to take the cableway, but I was sorry for a minute. After entering the scenic spot, you need to climb the mountain. It is estimated that the straight line distance is 800 meters, but it is steep, but the scenery is good. See the panorama of Dianchi Lake and Kunming from all angles.

When going down the mountain, I took the Dianchi cableway directly. I went to Haigeng Park to see seagulls, and of course I experienced cycling. At the end of the ropeway, you can also go to the ethnic village. I have been there before, but I didn't go this time.

Ridge park is actually not big. I have been riding along Dianchi Lake. There are more people riding bicycles, and people come and go, but they don't disturb the leisure people around them at all. Some people are camping on the lawn, some people are having a picnic, some children are playing catch games, some newlyweds are taking wedding photos, and some singers are singing. Passing through many concept restaurants along the way, the decoration style is first-class.

I got confused after riding for a circle, and finally diverted to the nearby Aegean Shopping Center, which is the Sisyphus Bookstore I want to go to. Said it was nearby. I really rode for nearly ten kilometers. I was about to hang up when I arrived at my destination.

A few books, a notebook, a cup of coffee, perfect, read a book quietly for a while. Unconsciously, night fell, and when I finished reading it, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, so I slowly took the bus home, haha, yes, home! At this moment, you won't consider yourself a foreigner.

I like reading books. Many people say I can watch it at home. Why is it a waste of time to go to Kunming to study? Travel and tourism have different meanings. Traveling is not to run one scenic spot after another, but to go to another city to live the life you want and truly experience and feel the charm of this city.

In the bookstore environment, you will see many urban phenomena. What are they doing in the bookstore? It seems that the city can be defined from the side. But in the process of reading, I gained knowledge in this city, which is a different experience.

I have never lost a book in my box. I like reading books on the way to the plane, on the way to the train, before going to bed at night, when I am tired, and trying to travel with books.

Dounan Flower Market, a place that I don't want to go when I come, really wants to buy something big and special, but unfortunately there is no car and the express delivery is too expensive. There are many varieties of succulents here, and they are very cheap, five for ten yuan, well, that's right. Flowers are measured in Jin, dried flowers 15 Jin. Note that it is one catty. Don't forget me. Crystal grass fans are at this price. Roses are basically ten yuan each, ten flowers each, and many others. Friends who like flowers must not miss this place.

Guandu ancient town, which can be visited, is mainly composed of three temples with a tower in the middle. Personally, I think it's quite good, and the business atmosphere is average, but it may be because there are many temples and ancient buildings, so the sense of substitution is slightly stronger, and all temples are free. There is also a stage in Guzhen Square, which I prefer.

There is also a golden horse square, where I just silently ate a bowl of rice noodles crossing the bridge.

On the morning I left Kunming, I took a picture of the sunrise on the roof. I'm not sure whether I will go to Kunming in the future, but my mood should be different from now. Goodbye Kunming!

Every city has its unique charm, and I like to find the definition of each city in my heart. Some cities make me linger, and some cities make me want to escape. No matter where I am, I always try to be myself. Fortunately, I always make many interesting friends during my travels.

To be continued, so stay tuned.

Next, "I went to Qingqiu to find my aunt, a fairyland on earth."
