How to go to Yunnan?

How to have fun in Yunnan?

First of all, it depends on how long your travel holiday is. If it can last 7-9 days, it is recommended to go to Kunming first, then to Dali, and then return from Lijiang; you can also go to Lijiang first, then Dali, and then Kunming. return. Kundali is a premium tourist route in Yunnan, and it is also a leisure tourist route. Relatively speaking, Kunming has the most flights to all parts of the country and even abroad, followed by Lijiang, and Dali has the least flights. It is a good choice to use Kunming as a distribution center.

There are multiple trains from Kunming to and from Lijiang every day, passing through Dali. Although the Kundali tourist train is an ordinary K-shaped train, it is more comfortable than other ordinary trains. The fastest train from Kunming to Dali runs in five and a half hours, and the slowest train lasts in seven and a half hours. Night sleepers are the most comfortable option, as you can sleep just one night and arrive the next morning. The fastest train from Dali to Lijiang is 1 hour and 51 minutes, and the slowest train is 2 hours and 54 minutes. You can also buy bus tickets from Dali to Lijiang at the ticket office near Cangshan Gate in the ancient city of Dali. The journey takes about 2 hours. .

Kundali travel itinerary can be arranged as follows:

1. Two days and one night in Kunming, visit Green Lake, Yunnan University, Dianchi Lake and other scenic spots

2. Four days in Dali, visit Dali Ancient City, Chongsheng Temple, Cangshan Mountain, Xizhou, Caicun, Shuanglang, Taise, Xiaoputuo, etc. around the Erhai Lake.

3. Three days in Lijiang, visit Dayan Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, Baisha Ancient Town (or Jade Dragon Snow Mountain), Lashihai, etc.

Each of the three cities in Kundali has its own unique attractions. What are its characteristics?

First of all, let’s talk about Kunming. As a famous spring city in China, Kunming has a mild climate even in winter. The folk customs here are simple and the pace of life is leisurely, which is especially suitable for a slow life.

Kunming's Green Lake and Dianchi Lake gather a large number of seagulls every winter to March of the following year. Seagull watching and feeding are the most special itineraries.

Let’s talk about Dali.

Dali is one of the earliest tourist cities in Yunnan, but in recent years its limelight seems to have been stolen by Lijiang.

No matter what season it is, the number of tourists in Dali is neither too much nor too little. The right flow of people has allowed Dali to retain its relatively simple folk customs, and various natural and cultural scenery have not been greatly damaged. At least in Dali, incidents that deceive tourists rarely occur.

The Erhai Lake is the most worth visiting scenic spot in Dali. The Erhai Lake covers an area of ??256.5 square kilometers. You can only take a quick tour in one day. It is most suitable to arrange two to three days to visit. The main scenic spots around the Erhai Lake include Caicun, Xizhou, Shuanglang, Huise, Xiaoputuo, etc. The most worthy of savoring is Xizhou. The buildings here are older and more detailed than the ancient city of Dali, and have profoundly influenced the architecture of Yunnan folk houses. style. If you go around the sea in winter, you will see many dancing seagulls along the way, which is very spectacular.

The ancient city of Dali is mainly about cultural scenery. You can see the major parks and city gates in the city, and you can also take a slow stroll along the old streets to feel the life style of the locals.

Compared with Dali, Lijiang is relatively impetuous. The commercial atmosphere here is relatively strong, and the phenomenon of robbing people is not as bad as the legend. However, it will be more difficult to experience the life and customs of the aborigines in Dayan Ancient City, because it is difficult to do so. Most of the business people are outsiders. Businessmen in Dayan Ancient City are not difficult to get along with, but there is a certain sense of distance. This is understandable because they are also strangers.

There are many famous attractions in Dayan Ancient City, most of which require fees. Personally, I think the sights are not of much value. Just stroll around in the ancient city, and find a place to eat and drink when you are tired. There are quite a lot of delicious foods in the ancient city.

Compared with Dayan Ancient City, Shuhe is much quieter. It is a gathering place for petty bourgeoisie and literary youth. The bars and restaurants that can be seen everywhere exude a strong cultural atmosphere.

Baisha is an ancient town that was developed relatively late in Lijiang. It has a weak commercial atmosphere and few tourists. The entertainment facilities here are not as complete as other ancient towns, but it is a quiet and pure land, away from Shuhe and Dayan Ancient Town. It’s not very far, and it’s worth a stopover. It only takes about half a day.

In Lijiang, you can also go to Lashihai, which has beautiful scenery all year round. You can experience rowing and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains in the middle of the lake, which has a unique flavor.
