How many kilometers is it from Chengdu Dujiangyan (self-driving tour) to Kunming or Tengchong? What is the best route to take? The chassis of the car is a bit low.

D1: Chengdu - Kunming

Route: Chengdu - Neijiang - Yibin - Shuifu - Zhaotong - Kunming

Mileage: about 920 Kilometers

Road conditions: Most D1: Chengdu - Kunming

Route: Chengdu - Neijiang - Yibin - Shuifu - Zhaotong - Kunming

Mileage: about 920 kilometers

Road conditions: Most of them are expressways, and a few are secondary roads in Yunnan. There are few vehicles and the roads are very good. There were local mudslides that washed away sections of the road.

Toll: 115 65 15 83 10=288 is an expressway, and a small part of Yunnan is a secondary highway with few vehicles and good road surfaces. There were local mudslides that washed away sections of the road.

Toll: 115 65 15 83 10=288

Strategy:

1. A large gas station in the Yibin-Zhaotong-Songming section is currently under construction , be sure to fill up the tank in Yibin and refill it in Zhaotong.

2. Yunnan Expressway limits the speed of large vehicles (maximum 80 km) and small vehicles (max 120 km), but there are no strict road restrictions. Local people tend to follow the rules when driving, and big cars will take the initiative to give way to small cars. Sichuanese who want to pass freely do as the locals do, blow their horns to thank them after overtaking, and at the same time give way to other overtaking vehicles.

3. Many sections of the expressway north of Zhaotong are still under construction, so you need to drive in parallel with oncoming traffic and pay attention. I was once careless and startled.

D2: Kunming-Tengchong

Route: Kunming-Anning-Chuxiong-Dali-Baoshan-Lujiangba-Tengchong

Mileage: about 850 kilometers

Road conditions: Most of them are expressways, with few vehicles and good road surfaces. The distance between Lujiangba and Tengchong is about 90 kilometers. It is a provincial road that goes over Gaoligong Mountain. It has many curves and some potholes on the road surface.

Toll: 130 90 5 5 = 230 yuan

Accommodation fee: 100 yuan

Strategy:

1. Kunming to Kunming I searched for the entrance to the viaduct of the Ming'an (Ning) Expressway for a long time, but the GPS didn't work (it didn't know whether I was on or below the viaduct), so I asked the traffic police to figure it out.

2. You can get off the expressway in Dali at noon to refuel and have dinner.

3. There are many speed measuring electronic eyes on Yunnan expressways.

4. After passing Baoshan, the signs on the highway are not very clear. I went down to ask for directions, and I probably heard that I was at the entrance called "Liu Jian and a Half". When I saw the notice board for "Lujiang Dam", I thought it looked a bit like it. It wasn't until I got to the entrance that I saw the "Lujiang Dam" sign. I wrote "Tengchong". We had already passed the point and had to go back before going down. Fortunately, there are very few cars. Whether this is the best path is unknown.

5. Lujiangba - the provincial road in Tengchong. There is a big fork in the middle. Going left is to Mangshi, and going to the right is to Tengchong.

6. It is recommended to stay in the annex building (Building 2) of Tuofeng Hotel in Tengchong. It has just opened for business. The rooms are large and the equipment is brand new.

7. Tengchong snacks are very good, the most famous one is "Dajiujia". There are two large night markets with a variety of snacks, including crabs and grilled fish worth trying.

8. Taxi in Tengchong is 5 yuan within the city. 10 after 23:00

D3: Tengchong

Route: Tengchong - Mazhan Volcanic Geopark - Columnar Jointed Blackfish River - Tengchong

Mileage: Forgot record.

Road conditions: The road between Tengchong and Mazhan is surprisingly good. Mazhan - There is a 12-kilometer gravel road along the Heiyu River with columnar joints. The columnar jointed Heiyu River-Tengchong is a general secondary road.

Toll: 8 yuan.

Volcano Park parking fee: 5 yuan.

Ticket for Volcano Geopark: 30 yuan, including three attractions: volcano, columnar joints, and Blackfish River.

Accommodation fee: 100 yuan

Strategy:

1. The toll road from Tengchong to Mazhan Station is wide and good, so you may speed if you are not careful. But there are many small intersections nearby where people-carrying motorcycles will suddenly rush out, regardless of whether there is an oncoming car or not.

2. You need to drive your own car on the 12-kilometer gravel road from the Volcano Park to the Pillar Joints. The columnar joints and Blackfish River attractions are close together. After exiting from the back of the columnar joint, there is no toll on the road back to Tengchong City via Beihai Wetland.

3. There is a jade trading center in Tengchong City, where you can go shopping and broaden your horizons.

4. This is my second time coming to Tengchong. Tengchong also has several scenic spots: outside the city - Atami, Beihai Wetland, Yunfeng Mountain, Heshun Town; inside the city - the National Memorial Cemetery, waterfalls, etc., all worth visiting. I especially like Yunfeng Mountain. On the high peak shrouded in clouds and mist, there is a small spring and a large Taoist temple. Living here will temporarily forget the troubles and sorrows of the world.

D4: Tengchong - Yingjiang

Route: Tengchong - Lianghe - Yingjiang

Mileage: about 160 kilometers.

Road conditions: Second-level provincial highways, some mountain roads are not too urgent.

Toll: 5 6 6 = 17 yuan

Accommodation fee: 100 yuan

Strategy:

1. Yingjiang was in that year The song "There is a Beautiful Place" and the movie "Youth Festival" starring Li Fengxu are about this area where educated youths from all over the country were decentralized to the Yunnan branch. This is the biggest reason that attracted me to check it out.

2. As I approached Yingjiang City, I saw many earthquake relief slogans. As a Sichuanese, I was very moved. Later, when I saw many tents, I remembered that there had been an earthquake not long ago.

3. There are not many famous scenic spots near Yingjiang. The most famous Tiger Leaping Rock is no longer worth seeing because of the construction of a small hydropower station. In fact, it is very pleasant to just walk around the Daying River and see the evening scenery and Dai villages. The Daying River is very wide, and the river flows quietly. Like the character of the Yunnan people, they are gentle but also persistent.

4. Yingjiang Shenzhou Hotel is the largest hotel with average conditions.

D5: Yingjiang—Ruili

Route: Yingjiang—Longchuan—Ruili

Mileage: about 150 kilometers.

Road conditions: It is a secondary provincial highway with good road surface, but some mountain roads are very winding and narrow.

Toll fee:

Accommodation fee: 60 yuan

Strategy:

1. After leaving Yingjiang, I went to Husa section and enter the mountain road. This is a road with many curves and narrow roads that I have driven on. At the same time, due to the strong sunlight, it takes a while for the eyes to adapt to the sudden entry into the shaded road. So remember to slow down and blow your horn when turning. Fortunately, the traffic volume is not very heavy.

2. There are many hotels in Ruili city, of all grades, so you can look for them patiently.

3. If you want to travel to two cities in Myanmar in one day, you need to apply for a temporary entry and exit permit from a travel company one day in advance and take photos. The Bada Travel Company we looked for (advertisements are everywhere on the street), headquartered in Bada Hot Spring Hotel, offers a one-day tour of two cities (Muse, Nankan) at 280 yuan per person per day, including lunch and dinner. Overall, the service is pretty good. As for whether it's worth going, that's up to you.

4. In Ruili City, you can go shopping on Border Trade Street, mainly for jewelry and jade. Women in ethnic minority costumes were walking on the street, and there were also many Burmese men in tube skirts.

5. There is a food court in Huafeng Market in Ruili City, which is very large, diverse and has a wide variety of food. Recommend Sun Kee grilled fish (20 yuan a pound, vegetables are delivered), freshly squeezed juice (3 yuan a cup) and stir-fried snails (8 yuan a serving), which are popular among Burmese people. The taste is delicious. Then try a bottle of Myanmar's best beer (12 yuan a bottle). The snack "Sa Yu" is said to be made from the undigested contents of the cow's stomach, so I didn't dare to try it.

D6: One-day, two-city tour out of Myanmar

Route: Ruili - Jiegao Town - Departure from Muse City in Myanmar - Nankan City - Muse City - Jiegao Town - Ruili

Port parking fee: 10 yuan.

Accommodation fee: 60 yuan

Strategy:

1. The China-Myanmar border is generally divided by the Ruili River, but Jiegao Town, which belongs to Chinese territory, is On the Myanmar side of the river. Ruili Entry-Exit Port is located in Jiegao Town, and is also the end point of National Highway 320 starting from Shanghai. The distance from Ruili City to Jiegao is 5 kilometers. There is a regular parking lot next to the port for 10 yuan a day. There is also free parking at the visitor center. There is a Zhongmai Street in my sister's home, which still mainly deals in jewelry and jade.

Photographs and cameras worth less than 2.5,000 yuan are exempt from declaration. There is a declaration channel before driving into the port. You can pass through the non-declaration channel without anyone checking.

3. Going through Chinese customs is easier than going through airport security, and your belongings are not checked. What is puzzling is that there is no customs at all in Myanmar.

4. A large number of cars in Myanmar are second-hand cars imported from Japan, which creates a strange situation where left-hand vehicles drive on the right-hand lane. There are no traffic lights on the street, so the tour guide constantly reminds you to watch out for cars.

5. There are many temples in Myanmar, so prepare some change (yuan ticket) before going.

D7: Ruili-Kunming

Route: Ruili-Luxi (Mangshi)-Baoshan-Dali-Chuxiong-Anning-Kunming

Mileage: about 820 kilometers.

Road conditions: Ruili-Zhenan is National Highway 320, with good road surface and a few mountain roads. The rest are highways.

Toll: 5 5 5 10 40 195=260

Strategy:

Shortly after passing Luxi, the oil light on the dashboard flickered from time to time. I quickly came down to check the engine oil, and I was stunned - it was all dry! The last oil change was only 2,500 kilometers ago. I checked it at the 4S store before I came here. It didn't say it was short of oil. Of course, I was a little careless. I knew that the car burned some oil at high speeds, but I didn't bring a spare.

What to do? I had to drive more than 100 kilometers slowly to Baoshan. After entering the city, I found a taxi to lead the way and found a large oil change center. I quickly changed the oil and bought a barrel of spare oil. Now I felt at ease, the engine oil light never came on again, and I didn’t replenish the oil when I arrived in Chengdu. It seems that the spare is redundant.

D8: Kunming

Route: Kunming City

Parking fee in Xishan: 5 yuan

Strategy:

1. The electronic eyes in Kunming are quite exaggerated and can be found all over the streets.

2. The traffic lanes in Kunming’s urban area are a bit different from those in Chengdu, so pay attention to them.

3. There are several bus stops on the main roads in Kunming that are placed in the middle of the road. Passengers must cross the bus lane to get to the bus stop. It is strange and feels unsafe for passengers. .

D9: Kunming-Chengdu Sanhechang

Route: opposite to D1.

Mileage: about 950 kilometers

Toll: 10 83 15 65 125 = 298 yuan (from the expressway under Sanhechang of Chengdu Outer Ring Road)

1. As soon as I entered the expressway in Sichuan, I saw a truck occupying the left lane and refused to give way. I was not used to it.

2. Not far after passing Zizhong, the car in front overturned and we were stuck in traffic for half an hour. After it was opened to traffic, I ran for 150 kilometers and finally returned home at 22:30.

Summary:

Total mileage: 3888 kilometers.

Toll: 288 230 8 17 260 298=1101 yuan

Parking fee: 5 10 5=20 yuan
