Thinking about so many years, I have been to many places, and I have too many emotional memories and good memories. In order to make myself old and my memory is blurred, I can have some words to recall , and in order to recommend these beautiful scenery to friends who love life and love travel, I decided that from now on, every trip will be organized into words in detail, and shared with friends is also to please myself, let us pursue simple life in simple life together happiness.
Colorful Yunnan: Western Yunnan
Preface: The first memory of Yunnan when I was a child comes from Jin Yong's martial arts novel "The Eight Parts of the Dragon". The Dali described in it has beautiful, majestic and mysterious natural scenery, the mysterious and quiet immeasurable jade, the roaring Lancang River, and the mountains and plains. The mandala flower... Later, Xu Wei's "Warmth" once again presented Dali and Lijiang in my mind, which made me have endless expectations for Dali. Dali has always been on my travel list, but due to For various reasons, I missed Dali, entangled, and hesitated, but I couldn’t make it. Until last year, I heard Li Jian’s "Deeply Cherished", which is the theme song of the stage play "Dali of Xiyi", "Deep Erhai Lake / Deep World / Deeper than my thoughts / Can't keep the sea of clouds / Can't keep time / But keep the oath / I'm waiting / Waiting for you to come / Come and see me", for Dali, I Don't want to wait any longer, must arrange now.
After finalizing the trip to Yunnan during the Spring Festival, it was a real headache to set the itinerary. There are too many places worth visiting in Yunnan. It is impossible to go all at once. The time is lined up. There are only 9 days. Originally, I decided to go to Yuanyang. Terraced fields + Dali Tengchong Ruili, and carefully studied the route and itinerary. The time was too rushed, so I finally decided to only go to Dali Tengchong Ruili, Yuanyang, Yuanyang, Yuanyang, and I can only wait for the next time.
For this trip, I still choose to rent a car in Kunming and drive myself. This time, the final route of colorful Yunnan in western Yunnan:
D1: Nanjing - Kunming
D2: Kunming - Dali (Eryuan)
D3: Eryuan
D4: Eryuan - Tengchong
D5: Tengchong
D6: Tengchong - Ruili
D7: Ruili - Chuxiong
D8: Chuxiong - Kunming - Guiyang
D9: Guiyang - Nanjing
Day1 (February 8) Nanjing---Kunming
From Nanjing to Kunming, the chosen flight is China Eastern Airlines MU2715 (9:00-12:25). It departs on the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, avoiding the peak travel time. The time is right and the air ticket price is not bad. Two, one, one, tax included, 2350 Yuan, this is a good discount during the Spring Festival holiday. The original plan happened to be that an old friend went to Kunming to visit friends during the Spring Festival holiday. Could it be possible to meet them in Kunming, so we made an appointment to have dinner together in Kunming at night and have a small gathering. As a result, it snowed heavily in Nanjing in the middle of the night on the third day of junior high school. When I woke up early in the morning on the fourth day of junior high school, I saw that the road was covered with snow, and I had to queue up for online car-hailing. I was worried that the expressway would be difficult, and I thought the subway was reliable, so I got up halfway early. At 7 o'clock, take the S1 from the South Railway Station to the airport. It is estimated that the flights at the airport will also be affected, but we can only go to the airport to wait. When I arrived at the airport, my eyes were full of people. Did the flight last night leave the port? There was no flight taking off or landing in the morning. My heart suddenly became cold. Fortunately, the flight departed at 9:00, and the flight was notified at 9:35. Boarding the plane, luck is on the table! As a result, I really couldn’t be too happy too early. First, I took the shuttle bus to the plane and couldn’t board the plane. The plane was still plowing the snow. In a few minutes, the snow was cleared and the plane started to board the plane. After sitting down, the captain informed that the runway was still clearing snow, and the takeoff time was to be determined. Everyone could only sit on the plane and wait. After finally waiting for a plane to take off and land, he told them to wait in line for takeoff. , After such a toss, it took off officially at 12:05, 3 hours late, so we were allowed to board the plane so early, probably because there were too many people at the airport, and the waiting hall could not fit, so we simply rushed to the plane and waited, special The weather, this situation is inevitable, but fortunately, we finally set off smoothly.
I originally planned to take the children to Dianchi Sea Terrier Park to see the red-billed gulls after checking in at the hotel on the first day. This season, the red-billed gulls are spending the winter in Kunming. When the season comes, I will go for a walk. Dinner is the best It can also be near Sea Terrier Park, which is more convenient. The plan couldn't keep up with the change, because the plane was late, and it was almost 5 o'clock when we arrived at the hotel, so we couldn't go to Dianchi Lake, and we didn't make time for the gathering with friends, so we could only wait for the return trip.

Day2 (February 9) Kunming - Dali - Eryuan (total mileage 470KM)
I got up in the morning, and after breakfast at the hotel, I took the subway to Yihi car rental point in Kunming South Station to pick up the car. When I was renting a car, I struggled with the Peugeot 3008 and Hyundai Shengda. I didn’t have any research on this car, so I simply paid Let Dad choose, he chooses the model, I place an order, Dad finally chooses Peugeot 3008, 7-day rent is 1854 yuan, the price is quite satisfactory, car rental must be in advance on holidays, first, the selection of models is large, and second is the price It is also relatively cheap. The address and phone number of the eHi car pick-up point at Kunming South Railway Station are inconsistent with the address of the order. I changed the new address, but there is no update on the Internet. When I arrived at the order pick-up point, I found that it was not the place. The customer service contacted the car rental point, but there was no one to pick it up. It was not at the same level as the convenience of renting a car at Haikou Meilan Airport last time. While waiting for processing, my classmate Gua Dad searched for a car rental point on Baidu, and found that it was not far away, and it was not far from the pick-up point It was less than 400 meters, so I followed the navigation directly to the car rental point, and got the car smoothly. Here, I like Gua Dad. During the inspection of the car, I found that the mileage of the 3008 is a bit high, nearly 90,000 kilometers, which is considered high in the rental car, but the appearance and interior of the car are well maintained. According to the car rental brother, the car is also in good condition. I wanted to upgrade to another car on the spot, but all the cars were fully rented during the Spring Festival holiday, so I had to pick up the car and go directly to Dali. PS: The car rental brother said: Before placing an order for a car rental, it is best to call the car rental office to inquire about the car condition, mileage, and age of the desired model. It is safer to ask about the situation before placing an order. Trick, just focus on this point and give Yihi a good review.
Take Dali Expressway for the whole journey, get off at the Haidong Exit, and take Huanhaidong Road after getting off the expressway. According to the information on the Internet, the essence of this line is between Haidong Town and Shuanglang Town. From Haidong to Dusekai, the Erhai Lake is beautiful along the way, Cangshan Erhai, the sky is blue and the water is clear, there are many places to stop and take pictures on the road, and there are not many people and cars, so I drive all the way on Huanhaidong Road, thinking of Shuanglang to see, who Knowing that just after Quse, traffic jams started to slow down, and it took more than two hours to drive to Shuanglang for more than 20 kilometers. There were many people and vehicles on the road, and the congestion was serious. There are a lot of red algae along the coast, and the scenery is far less good than that of Haidong. There is no way, there is no other way to go out, only to move all the way to Shuanglang. The person in Shuanglang, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I thought it was past the peak period, but it turned out to be full of cars and people, and I drove to the street of Shuanglang, but I couldn’t see the Erhai Lake. The houses on the shore should be all hotels The inn was completely blocked, and I didn't appreciate the beautiful Shuanglang on the Internet at all. I lost interest in Shuanglang immediately. There were too many people, so I drove directly from Shuanglang to Eryuan at high speed, and quickly avoided the crowds. Here’s a suggestion: Get off at the Haidong Exit of Dali Expressway, drive along Huanhaidong Road from Haidong to Kuiseshang Expressway (the section from Huanhai East Road to Quese to Shuanglang is far less beautiful than Haidong, and I personally think it’s unnecessary Go from below); if you want to go to Shuanglang, get off the expressway from Shuanglang, and once you pass the exit of Shuanglang, there is a large parking lot, you can park your car in the parking lot, and then walk in from the gate building of Shuanglang. There should be a sightseeing plank road along the Erhai Lake.
Erhai Lake in Haidong Town, Huanhai East Road
Today's destination is Eryuan. I don't want to live on the noisy Erhai Lake. I walk up along the Erhai Lake to the source of Erhai Lake: Eryuan County, Dali Bihu people who live on the bank of Cibi Lake (one of the sources of Erhai Lake). The inn (basically the best condition in Liyuan), chose the best room in his house, the lake view room on the fourth floor, the balcony can directly see Cibi Lake, and there is a double hammock on the balcony, my baby likes it very much, the price 218 yuan/night (including two breakfasts). Cibi Lake has beautiful scenery, lakes and mountains, basically no tourists, very quiet and beautiful, but the road to Bihu Renjia Inn is broken. The inn is in the deepest part of Shiwai Liyuan, a small village of the Bai nationality. Walking through, the road is very narrow, and it happened to catch up with the village to dig water pipes to repair the road. The road was so bad that I drove to the point where I doubted the navigation. It's okay to drive, and the road is not too long, about 5 kilometers, but I don't know what to do, so I feel that the road is extremely long. Follow the navigation and drive until the end of the road. There is a sentry box. It is said that it was set up by the local government to prevent foreign vehicles from entering the pear garden. There is a parking lot next to it. Park your car in the parking lot and call the innkeeper. You can drive Come out to pick it up, and it will be there in about 2 minutes. Although the journey to the destination is quite tortuous, the scenery of Liyuan and Cibi Lake is enough to offset the twists and turns. It is a pity that the pear blossoms have not yet bloomed when I went this time. Imagine the time when ten thousand acres of pear blossoms bloom in mid-March , What a scene it should be. The food in the inn is highly recommended. The Bai-style dishes are very good. We ordered three meat and vegetable dishes and one soup + self-brewed white wine. The final bill was 115 yuan. Low price travel.

Day3 (February 10) Eryuan (Caibi Lake, Fengyu Town) (total mileage 70 kilometers)
Today is a very relaxing day. The plan is to go around Cibi Lake and then go to Fengyu Ancient Town.
In the morning, Comrade Gua Dad got up early and went for a run by the Cibi Lake. By the way, he inquired about the weather conditions. After running, he told his wife that the weather was very good, so he quickly got up and went for a walk by the lake, so we went around the lake together, and the breeze Buddha face , the lake and the mountains, the clear lake water reflects the sky, the scenery is pleasant, by the lake without tourists, looking at the quiet small village, the flowers of the four seasons bloom in the same season, the crabapple flowers in spring are blooming, and in the small pond The lotus flowers are swaying in the wind, and the golden osmanthus flowers on the roadside osmanthus trees are still emitting a strong aroma, which is really amazing. After taking a walk with the baby, I went back to the inn for breakfast at about 9:30. The simple Bai breakfast rice noodle was made with good color and fragrance. I was satisfied. I chatted with the proprietress last night. The proprietress highly recommended us to go to Shaxi Guxi in Jianchuan, but not to Fengyu. She said that Fengyu had nothing to see. I struggled all night and decided to go to Fengyu as planned. First, Because the road to Shaxi is a bit far away, the round trip from where I live to Shaxi takes nearly 6 hours. I heard that the road conditions are not too ideal. Second, I am still obsessed with the original Fengyu, so I still want to see it. , As for whether it is fun or not, whether you have watched it or not, these still vary from person to person, after all, everyone's aesthetics are different.
Fengyu is a very small place, which is called "Peach Blossom Spring" by Xu Xiake. "The Qu Gorge leads to a secluded place, and Linggao lives in the water. The ancient Zhuchen Village and the Peach Blossom Garden are all gone, but this one is still left. It is also a wonder." "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" written by Shanhe Dachuan.
The place names in Yunnan are beautiful, such as Fuxian Lake, Shangri-La, Chuxiong, Shaxi, and Fengyu. Fengyu is the gathering place of the Bai civilization that has been accumulated for thousands of years. It is located at the source of Erhai Lake and behind the Yunnong Peak of Diancang Mountain. It is also one of the "Three Famous Villages in Western Yunnan" together with Heshun Township in Tengchong and Shaxi Township in Jianchuan on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. According to legend, "the phoenix died here, and a hundred birds gather and hang together, and then they become feathers", so it is named Fengyu. The handicraft Fengyu Inkstone enjoys a high reputation.
Depart from Liyuan, drive to Fengyu Town in about an hour, find a place next to the town to park the car, and then take the baby to walk to the town for a stroll. During the Spring Festival, there are no shops open. I want to see Fengyu Inkstone. , but there is a store specializing in Fengyu inkstone, but unfortunately it is closed. The town is very small, and it takes more than half an hour to walk around. There is really nothing to do. I saw a kind of cold salad similar to rice skin and rice tofu on the side of the road. The snacks are average in appearance, taste quite good, and the portion is large, so you don’t need to eat them after lunch. After coming out of Fengyu Town, I felt a little disappointed in my heart. It was too different from the Fengyu described by Teacher Feng Xincheng. I wondered if I went to the wrong place, so I searched on Baidu, and introduced Teacher Feng on the Internet. Tuibutang, it turns out that there is Fotang Village, so I drove straight to Fotang Village, wanting to see Tuibutang. After navigating to Fotang Village, I looked back and forth, left and right, and looked for it, only to see a small piece of houses. From the side of the road, there is a high courtyard surrounding the house. I can’t see how big it is inside. The gate of the courtyard Closed, without any signs, not sure if this house is a retrograde hall; it may be, but it is not open to ordinary tourists, or it may not be. I drove a little further along the road in front of the gate, and found a newly built cement road leading to the mountain. I wondered if the retreat hall would be on the top of the mountain, so I kept driving along the road. The newly built Panshan cement road, there is no such road in the navigation, and there are no cars on the road. Passing by one or two local uncles who are driving sheep to herd, the mountain road is winding and winding. From the place, you can see the whole Fengyu Bazi. The scenery is so beautiful. Continue to the top of the mountain. The red mountain is divided into blocks. There is an artificial lake in the distance. It is the correct mode to open Fengyu! ! After turning around a few mountains and reaching the top of the mountain, I didn’t find Tuibutang, and the concrete road didn’t end yet, but the road went down the mountain, and the road should lead to several villages behind the mountain. This trip to Fengyu, although I didn't see Tuibutang as I wished, but it was worthwhile to appreciate the whole picture of Fengyu Bazi, which Xu Xiake called "Peach Blossom Spring".
After going down the mountain on the original road, go from Fotang Village to tonight’s accommodation, Eryuan Xiashankou Hot Spring Area---Putuo Spring. It is recorded in "Chinese Hot Spring Research and Dengchuan Zhou Zhi" published in 1939: "Twenty years in the north of the state Yuli. The place name is Xiashankou. The ancient name is Putuo Spring. The bottom of the well is like boiling soup. When you throw fishy vegetables, it can be cooked in an instant. It is also a merit. Those who have mastered it can store it in a bottle and put it in a wet place. It can wake up the hangover, widen the chest and intestines and feel stuffy." This shows the extraordinary charm of Xiashankou hot spring water. The Qianyu Selected Dali Qingquan Hotel booked on Ctrip is a hot spring hotel. It not only has an outdoor pool, but also has a separate pool in the room. The price: 307 yuan/night (no breakfast), the only one in the whole journey without Breakfast hotel, the hotel is on the street in the hot spring area, and dining is very convenient. I arrived at the hotel early today, and it was only 3:30 after checking in. I saw a dessert shop next to the hotel. I took my baby to have an afternoon tea. I had a fruit ice cream and cake in hand. The food was satisfying and delicious. After eating and returning to the hotel, change into your swimsuit and go to the outdoor hot spring pool. This pool is a hot spring pool. The deepest part is 1.8 meters deep. You can swim completely. There are not many people in the pool, but the water temperature is too high for swimming. It's hot, the bubbles are okay, and swimming is not comfortable. After soaking for a while, go back to the room, thinking about soaking in the room after dinner. For dinner, I found a local-style restaurant with a distinctive decoration on the street. I ordered a small hot pot, one small pot for each person. I ordered local specialties for vegetarian and meat dishes, which looked good. While waiting for the small hot pot to be served, I suddenly had a nosebleed. It is estimated that the climate in Yunnan is too dry, and I am a little uncomfortable. I finally understand that when I came to Kunming a few years ago, my friends in Kunming invited me to dinner. Why must I order bitter vegetable soup? It needs to reduce the fire (PS: Bitter vegetable soup is a kind of green leafy vegetable in Yunnan. Yunnan people like to cook this kind of vegetable directly in water, with only a little salt and no oil. It is said that the function of this soup is to reduce the fire). So starting from this meal, we also joined the ranks of not leaving the bitter vegetable soup every meal, and it was indeed effective, and there was no nosebleed after that.
I forgot to take pictures during the day and made up for them at night

Day4 (February 11) Eryuan - Dali - Tengchong (total mileage 440 kilometers)
I had to get up a little earlier this morning. I originally planned to take Huanhai West Road from Eryuan, pass by Butterfly Spring, the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, Dali Ancient City, Cangshan and then return to the expressway to Tengchong, but the result was blocked on Huanhai East Road the day before yesterday. I'm afraid, and Huanhai West Road can't directly see the Erhai Lake, which is similar to the situation in Shuanglang. The Erhai Sea is completely blocked by inns and hotels, plus the Butterfly Spring, the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, Dali Ancient City, and Cangshan Mountain are tour groups. Those who travel with a group must take the route, it is estimated that there are many people and traffic jams. I am not interested in checking in these scenic spots on the Haixi Line, and it is relatively far to go to Tengchong Road, so I decided not to take the Huanhaixi Road, and go directly to Tengchong from the lower mountain pass, so that I can arrive in Tengchong around noon. Time is left for Tengchong.
After waking up at 6:30 in the morning, I wanted to clean it up first, and then asked my baby to get up and have a simple breakfast. After cleaning up, I found a nonsensical thing. I couldn’t find the car keys. I have no impression of where to put it. Baby and husband Help me search all the bags, pockets of every piece of clothing, and corners of the room carefully, but if I can't find them, I want to cry but have no tears! I went downstairs to look at the car, and found that the car was unlocked and the door could be opened, but the car key was not there. I searched all the inside and outside of the car and found nothing. I wonder if it happened when I checked in at the hotel front desk yesterday afternoon. , So I went to the front desk of the hotel to look for it. The staff on duty at the front desk was still sleeping, and I was forced to wake me up. The dawn in Yunnan was late, at about 8 o'clock, and no one would check out at 7 o'clock. The guy at the front desk was with me at the front desk I searched all over, but still couldn't find it, it really broke down! ! At this time, not only did my husband not complain to me, but he also comforted me by saying, wait until around 10 o’clock, call and ask the nearest 4S store, can you come to the door with a car key, let me not be anxious, calm down; I was both moved Regretted again, ready to go back to the room and wait for the 4S shop to go to work. After thinking about it, I went to the car to look for it. My husband and baby were with me. I was looking down on the ground. When my husband looked up, he found the car keys lying on the roof. It was amazing. Yes, it's actually on the roof! ! I try to recall, it can’t be that I put it on the roof of the car by myself, it should be when I checked in and got my luggage in the car, the pocket of the jacket was shallow, the car key fell on the ground, and the owner of the parking space next to him parked the car I found it. I didn’t know how to contact me, so I put the key in this conspicuous and inconspicuous place. Most people really don’t expect it to be placed on the roof of the car. Anyway, I am very grateful and feel that I am very lucky. Good luck finding it. After such a lot of tossing, it was already past 8 o'clock when we set off, and the sky began to light up!
Go to the exit of Bingzhongluo and Bingchacha, I will definitely go
After 6.5 hours of Panshan Expressway, over Gaoligong Mountain, and arrived at Tengchong Yunfengshan Hot Spring Resort Hotel at nearly 3:00, the Yunfengshan Hot Spring Hotel package booked on Ctrip, the package includes a hotel deluxe twin room for one night + double Yunfengshan package ( Ticket + round-trip cableway ticket + battery car) + hot spring ticket + breakfast + 120 yuan dinner voucher, super cost-effective, package price: 568 yuan, children's height 120CM, did not make up for Yunfeng mountain cableway ticket, only made up for a hotel children's breakfast 25 yuan; the Yunfeng Mountain package ticket is not exchanged at the front desk of the hotel, but at the ticket office of the scenic spot; the hotel is great, and there are no shortcomings in the environment, service, hot springs, and dining.
After check-in, I sent the luggage to the room. It was still early, it was only 3:30, so I decided to go to Yunfeng Mountain first. Yunfeng Mountain is located in Ruidian Town, more than 50 kilometers northwest of Tengchong County. From a distance, it looks like a jade shoot standing straight into the sky. Because the waist of the peak is often shrouded in clouds and mist, it is named "Yunfeng Mountain". Yunfeng Mountain is famous for its "high mountains and deep valleys, steep and steep". There are more than 1,000 levels of "three-fold cloud ladders" leading directly to the top of the mountain. Standing at Tianmen and looking far away, you can see the snow-capped peaks of Gaoligong Mountain in the distance, the surrounding mountains are verdant and verdant, and the spring scenery of Pingchuan is picturesque. The scenery is extremely beautiful and magnificent. There are Yuhuang Pavilion, Sanqing Pavilion and Luzu Hall on the top of the mountain; Guandi Temple is built on the mountainside; Wanfu Temple and Jieyin Temple are built at the foot of the mountain, all of which were built during the Wanli and Chongzhen years of the Ming Dynasty; Yuhuang Pavilion and Sanqing Pavilion on the top of the mountain The buildings of Lu Zu Temple and Lu Zu Temple are the most unique and dangerous. They are all built on the rocks on the top of the mountain. reputation. The "three-fold cloud ladder" between the hanging rocks and cliffs in the mountain is known as the first of the twelve scenic spots in Tengchong.
Drive to the parking lot of the scenic spot for about 5 minutes. After arriving at the scenic spot, first take your ID card to the ticket office to change the set ticket, then take the battery car to the entrance of the cableway, and take the cableway up the mountain. The Guanyin Hall at the end of the cableway is not on the top of the mountain. It takes about 20 minutes to go up the mountain. All are stone stairs. There is a short section that is steep, but it is not difficult. We walked slowly to the Sanqing Hall on the top of the mountain, and turned around slowly. The Taoist temple has a history of 380 years and is full of incense. Many local people come up to worship. The scenery on the top of the mountain is not bad. After turning around the Sanqing Temple, go down the mountain to the cableway, take the cableway back to the entrance of the scenic spot, and drive back to the hotel. It’s almost 6 o’clock. When we checked in, the girl at the front desk told us that dinner is at 7 o’clock when there are the most people, so we will go directly to the restaurant first. Dinner, dinner is a buffet style, all are Tengchong local snacks and Burmese snacks, each has a marked price, there are many varieties, the most expensive is 35 yuan, the cheapest is 10 yuan, you can use dinner coupons, or you can use cash directly, basically You can have a full meal with the given dinner voucher, and choose a few additional Burmese snacks to try, the taste is really good, I highly recommend it! !
After dinner, I went back to the room. My baby’s online Chinese class started. After the class, I packed up, changed my clothes and went straight to the hot spring pool. There are more than 30 hot spring pools in the hotel, just downstairs, and they are all outdoors. There are more than 20 swimming pools with various functions, and there are not many tourists. They are fully open during the Spring Festival holiday, and the children are parading among the various pools, playing crazy! The water quality of the hot spring is very good, highly recommended! !

Day5 (February 12) Tengchong (total mileage 205 kilometers)
Last night when my daughter was taking online classes, I searched for the unique and worthwhile sights in Tengchong. I was very excited when I saw that the Volcanic Geopark could take a hot air balloon. My son also wanted to experience it, overlooking the craters from high altitude. It is also the first time to experience a hot air balloon. Turkey is too far away. I have no plans to go there for the time being. Let's enjoy it in Tengchong first.
So I decided to get up early in the morning after breakfast, and go to Volcano Park to line up to ride a hot air balloon. Due to the climate of Tengchong, the wind will rise after noon, so the best time to take off the hot air balloon is 8:30-11:00 am. After getting up at 7:00 in the morning, I found that there was heavy fog outside. I guess the hot air balloon would not take off until the fog cleared, so I went back to bed and continued to lie down. I lay down until almost 8:00, and looked out the window again. It was still foggy. After finishing breakfast and packing up, think about checking out, drive slowly to the Volcanic Geopark, and let’s talk about the weather. After picking up the car at the parking lot, we set off at about 9 o'clock. The fog was very thick and the visibility did not exceed 10 meters. There was no car on the road, and we moved slowly with the fog lights on. Amazing plateau weather! It’s already 9:50 to park the car at the Volcano Geopark. There are already many cars in the parking lot, and there are also many people at the park entrance. I can feel the feeling that there are many people checking in to the scenic spots on holidays. Buy tickets quickly (adult tickets are 35 yuan / piece , half price for children over 120cm), let the quick-moving melon dad first go to the hot air balloon ticket office to queue up to buy tickets (to take a hot air balloon in the Volcano Geopark, you must first buy a ticket to enter the park before you can buy a hot air balloon ticket to sit in a hot air balloon, which is considered Tickets are sold in bundles, slot). My classmate Gua and I strolled slowly in the volcano park to the hot air balloon point; Tengchong Volcanic Geopark is located in the southern section of Hengduan Mountain, known as the "Natural Geological Museum". Tengchong has a total of 97 dormant volcanoes, of which 23 have well-preserved craters; volcanoes are relatively concentrated, and volcanoes such as Heikong Mountain and Dakong Mountain are arranged in a line from north to south. You can choose to walk up the mountain, there is a special climbing path, all of which are steps, and it takes about 30 minutes to walk to the crater; or you can choose to ride a horse to the crater, about 20 minutes, there is a special horse path for going up the mountain, and the price for horseback riding is 300 yuan/horse, which can be cut Children can ride with adults; you can also take a hot air balloon to overlook the scenic area. The fare for a hot air balloon ride is 280 yuan per person for adults and 200 yuan per person for children (children are not exempt). When we arrived at the hot air balloon point, the line for buying tickets was very long. I guessed that there were fifty or sixty people in front of Gua Dad. I went to the window to check the speed of buying tickets, but there was no one at the ticket window. After inquiring , said that a lot of tickets have been sold before, and we must first confirm whether we can arrange to come over, and then decide whether to continue to sell tickets. I checked the time and it is already 10:20. It is estimated that even if the tickets are bought, we will wait until we are seated At this time, there is a high possibility that the wind will blow, so give up decisively. Pointing out from the hot air balloon, there are many grooms on the side of the road leading horses and selling horse riding craters. The baby is very excited, saying that he has never ridden a horse and wants to try it. So Gua Dad took out the magical skill of bargaining, from 300 yuan to 200 yuan Yuan, happily ride a horse each (my baby and I ride one together) up the mountain. The groom will lead the horse all the way. The uphill is still a bit steep. After arriving at the crater, the groom will help you take pictures with your own mobile phone. After taking the photo, I got off the horse, walked around the crater, and started to walk down the mountain. Along the way, my baby described to me the feeling of riding a horse. Looking at her cheerful little face, I felt that this is the meaning and fun of travel.
Coming out of Volcano Park, the original plan was to go to Atami Park. After meeting the people in Volcano Geopark, I decided not to go to the popular check-in spots, but to go to small villages to enjoy flowers. This season is the right time for spring flowers to bloom in Tengchong. Enjoying flowers in small ecological villages is more comfortable. When I was planning the route yesterday, I made alternatives. I was afraid that there would be too many people in the scenic spot, so I deliberately dug out more niche attractions that do not require tickets. Sure enough, the niche places gave me a lot of surprises.
First stop for flower viewing: Camellia in Hemu Village
This small village is 18 kilometers away from the county seat. It is famous for having more than 40,000 fruit-bearing safflower camellia trees of more than 10,000 mu, 5,000 of which are over 200 years old, and more than 15,000 of which are over 100 years old. The birthplace of camellia oleifera", "the hometown of safflower camellia". The history of safflower camellia in Hemu Village has reached more than 800 years. The huge tea tree subverted my concept of camellia. In my hometown, camellias are potted ornamental plants. And the camellias here are huge trees. This small village is 1,985 meters above sea level, with an annual average temperature of 13°C and an annual rainfall of 1,700 mm. The special climate conditions are suitable for the growth of safflower camellia. It turns out that the main function of these huge tea trees is to produce tea oil. Tea oil is called "Oriental olive oil" and has high nutritional value. Quiet village, except us, no tourists, quiet and beautiful.
From Volcano Geopark to Hemu Village, the asphalt road in the whole village is in good condition, less than 10 kilometers and 20 minutes by car.
The second stop of flower viewing: Jietou Town Rapeseed Flowers
Located on the northern border of Tengchong County, Jietou Town is a "garden basin" surrounded by Gaoligong Mountain. Every year after the Spring Festival, under the baptism of spring rain, mountains, cottages, and roads all merge into the sea of rapeseed flowers. Jietou was selected as "the most beautiful place in Yunnan" by "China National Geography" because of its unique tourism resources. The entire Jietou rape blossoms are like a vast sea, and like a golden carpet. The breeze blows, and there is a burst of fragrance, which makes people intoxicated. "People are in the forest, the forest is in the field, and the rapeseed flowers are in the painting" is the best portrayal. Rhododendrons and camellias are in full bloom, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful; .
From Hemu Village to Jietou, turn County Road 195 to the Maxiang section of the rural road. The Maxiang section is difficult to walk through the village and quarry area. The road condition is poor and it is the worst road condition in this trip. Turn to Provincial Highway 238 in Xiangduan, the asphalt road, the road condition is good, a total of 52 kilometers and a little over an hour by car. For lunch, I found a restaurant in Jietou Town. The food tastes good, the food is very large, and the price is cheap. I checked on the Internet, about 30 kilometers away from Jietou, there is a hot spring in Datang. I have never seen what the original ecological wild hot spring looks like. I plan to go and see it after dinner. From Jietou, continue to walk along S238 to Datang Retian. S238 passes along the Longchuan River through a sea of rapeseed flowers. There are small paddy fields between the flower fields. There are many egrets playing in the paddy fields. The beautiful scenery of nature is presented in In front of me, it is really beautiful. Follow the navigation to find the Datang Thermal Field. The Datang Thermal Field is located in Datang Village, Jietou Town, 28 kilometers away from the town government. There are more than 20 large and small hot spring groups introduced online, but we only found four or five. Next to the geothermal pool, there is a farmhouse, which can provide hot springs for 20 yuan per person. We went in and turned around. The sanitary conditions were average, and we directly dispelled the idea of soaking in wild hot springs here. We also saw villagers scalding chickens next to the hot pool. Hair plucking is a gift from nature to the local people.
The third stop for viewing: Qinghai Lake
On the way from Jietou to Heshun, we passed Beihai Wetland Park. The online evaluation of this scenic spot is relatively high, but the ticket is more expensive at 80 yuan per person. The original plan was to go in and have a look. When we arrived at around 3:00, the entrance of the scenic spot was full It's a car, and there are cars parked on both sides of the road. There is no parking space within the visual range. When I saw this person, I gave up entering the wetland park and continued to drive. Not long after passing the gate of the park, I can see the wetland on the road The scenery of the park, according to the introduction on the Internet, there is a lake behind a small hill not far from Beihai. The locals call it Qinghai Lake. After visiting Qinghai Lake, this place should have been a free scenic spot. It is estimated that there are too few people going there now, and many facilities around the lake are deserted, but the lake is clear, the mountains are green and the water is beautiful. There are no tourists. The scenery is still very good. The car is parked on the side of the road. The simple and small parking lot, you can walk directly to the lake when you get off the car. There are bamboo rafts on the lake, which are now used by local people for fishing. In the past, it should be possible to take a bamboo raft to swim in the lake.
After turning around Qinghai Lake, navigate directly to today's accommodation destination: Heshun Ancient Town, passing through Tengchong City, less than 20 kilometers away, 30 minutes by car. Stay at Tengchong Heshun Banshanshu Boutique Inn. The inn is on Laifeng Mountain, overlooking the entire Heshun Ancient Town. The fixed view room on the fourth floor on the top floor is 512 yuan. There is a large platform on the top floor. The decoration is very beautiful. You can watch the sunset and moonrise directly from the platform. Strong push! ! The inn has a parking space on the street under the hillside. When you arrive, you will contact the owner of the inn and ask the waiter to come down and unlock the parking space (because parking in Heshun Ancient Town is very inconvenient, the streets are narrow, and there are too many inns, so the inn with its own parking space will lock the parking space Lock it to prevent non-resident vehicles from occupying the parking space), the waiter will help carry the luggage up the mountain, the service is great, of course it is not too far, less than 100 meters. When I got to the room on the fourth floor, I put down my luggage and packed it up a bit. I took out the clothes that hadn’t been dried in Yunfeng Mountain and dried them. My baby played wildly on the platform until 6:30 and went directly to online classes in the rest area of the platform. It is very pleasant for comrades to drink tea and watch the scenery and take pictures of the sunset! The owner of the inn said that after 7:00 pm, Heshun Ancient Town does not check the tickets (80 yuan per person), so you can go directly to the ancient town, so after the baby finished the online class, I went to the three palm trees restaurant, which ranks first in the street food After eating local specialties, I went to visit the ancient town after dinner. The ancient town is very lively at night. Bars, restaurants, and barbecues are open until late, but the number of people at night is much less than that during the day. All tourist groups have withdrawn, leaving only Tourists living in the ancient town. The ancient town under the night is still beautiful. It is worth visiting without paying tickets. There are many unique shops in it, but the prices are high. Heshun is the most expensive place in our journey to the west of Yunnan (of course This is compared with other places in western Yunnan. If Heshun is compared with other famous ancient towns, such as Zhouzhuang, Wuzhen, Lijiang, and Dali, it is still cheaper).
Today's Tengchong itinerary is rich and compact, all of which are niche attractions, the scenery is too beautiful, and there are no tickets (except for the 35 yuan/person ticket for the Volcano Geopark, there are no other tickets)
Itinerary: Yunfeng Mountain Hot Spring Area --- Volcano Geological Park (26KM) -- Hemu Village (10KM) -- Jietou Town (52KM) -- Datang Village (26KM) -- Beihai Wetland ((70KM) to Qinghai Lake next to it) --Heshun Ancient Town (20KM)

Day6 (February 13) Tengchong - Ruili (total mileage 230 kilometers)
Watch the sunrise on the terrace of the inn in the morning. After breakfast, pack up your luggage and set off. Today, we will go to Ruili. We plan to go to Xianduo Village, Hehua Town first. We will visit the unique multi-ethnic dwellings, the mixed-inhabited area of Dai and Wa people, and see the egrets in Xianduo; because yesterday There are a lot of rural roads, and I don’t want to drive more. In addition, I have seen a lot of egrets on the road in Jietou yesterday. Let’s take it easy today. Watch the sunrise in the morning, then have breakfast, and pack up around 10 o’clock Leave for Ruili, give Ruili more time.
Heshun Ancient Town departed from the urban road and took the expressway not long after, and went to Ruili on the whole journey. The first stop in Ruili is Mori Tropical Rainforest Park. G56 Hangrui Expressway to Longling service area, there is a border inspection station, which requires the ID card inspection of all car personnel, requires all the windows to be opened, and some also requires the trunk to be inspected, no border defense card is required, continue to Ruili after queuing up for inspection , there are no other border checkpoints along the way. After getting off the expressway from Ruili West, navigate directly to Mori Park and walk along the road of Daying River. The road condition is good and there are not many vehicles. At the gate of Mori, there are staff to guide the roadside parking to buy tickets first (tickets are 35 yuan per ticket). After buying the tickets, you can drive to the parking lot in the scenic spot, about 2 kilometers away. The parking lot inside is very large and managed Very nice, clean and organized. Moli Waterfall, also known as Zhaduo Waterfall, is located in the Moli Canyon at the junction of Luxi, Longchuan, and Ruili. deep in the tropical rainforest. The clear spring water pours down from the 60-meter-high cliff. There is a scene of "folded water is like cotton, and the flowers will disperse without bows and flowers". , the sound of thunder, and hot springs gushing out under the waterfall, the landscape is very strange. Moli Waterfall is the waterfall with the largest drop in Dehong and even southwestern Yunnan. The main landscape of the park is the combination of native tropical valley rainforest vegetation and waterfalls. Walking slowly in the tropical rainforest, along the gurgling streams, the water flows until the innermost Moli Waterfall in the park. The water flow of the waterfall in the dry season is not too large, but very Beautiful, here is a natural forest oxygen bar with high negative oxygen ions. There is a large flower garden not far from the entrance of the park. All kinds of flowers are in full bloom. I saw gladioli in many colors, which is very beautiful. Compared with the ticket price, this attraction is extremely cost-effective, and it is worth a visit.
After coming out of Moyu, go to the small town of Wanding. "Wanting" is a Dai language, meaning "the sun is at the top", so people like to call Wanding "the place where the sun is at the top". The Wanding Bridge is a bridge between the two countries, and further forward, across the country, is Myanmar. Although Wanding is small, it has experienced many vicissitudes. Wanding Bridge witnessed the history of China's Anti-Japanese War and undertook the historical task of saving the Chinese nation. Knowing Wanding originated from the 2018 Jiangsu Satellite TV Humanities and Cultural Exploration Variety Show "Small Town Story". "Small Town Story" introduced 12 unique small towns. The first article is Wanding. I was deeply impressed, and thought of having the opportunity to visit these small towns, to see these places that have a certain extreme feature and have never been assimilated by trends, without hustle and bustle and impetuosity, full of tranquility and comfort.
It was already afternoon when we arrived in Wanding. After finding a place to park the car in the small town, we walked to the Wanding Port. The national gate next to the Wanding Bridge was undergoing maintenance and construction. We could only see the Wanding Bridge from a distance through the construction scaffolding. It was on the opposite side of the bridge. Many Burmese trucks are waiting in line to pass the border. Most of them are trucks carrying fruit. People come and go on the bridge, and it is hard to tell whether they are Burmese or Wanding people. When wandering around, I found that there was a side of a house on the side of the street that said: Parking is available inside, and you can visit the Jiehe River for free; so we walked to the courtyard, there is a small parking lot inside, and a hotel, which is probably for frequent travel between China and Myanmar The merchants at the port provide accommodation. They go out through the back door of the house, not far from the Wanding Bridge. The house is along the Wanding River. Myanmar is across the river. I took a few commemorative photos and left quickly. From our When I went in and out, I didn't meet a single person. It is estimated that there was no business during the Spring Festival and it was too sunny in the afternoon, so no one came out yet. After visiting the Wanding Bridge at the National Gate, I went to the Wanding Bianguan Cultural Park, which is the starting point of the famous Stilwell Highway. The gate of the Chinese Expeditionary Army Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall in the Cultural Park is closed. There is no visit. It is a dessert next to the Cultural Park. I ate Pao Ruda at the stall, and I forgot the name of another dessert. It tasted very good, especially when I ate the cool dessert in the afternoon when it was very hot, it magnified the good memory of this Pao Ruda. After eating, the baby said that it was going to be sun-dried, and we didn’t have any interest in hanging out anymore, so we hurried to the car and drove to today’s accommodation destination: Ruili Jingcheng Dihai Hot Spring Resort, a hotel booked on Ctrip, the price is 545 yuan (including double breakfast), this hotel is considered the best hotel in Ruili, and the hot spring Emerald Spring in the hotel is very famous. After arriving at the hotel, I found that the hotel is really big. I searched a few times to check in. I asked the security guard and pointed to Building No. 1. When I went to the lobby of Building No. 1 to check in, I found that there was no reservation information. Looking at the order again, it was No. 2 No. Building, where I live, I can only check in at that building. Well, fortunately, I came by car, otherwise I would cry inside. The hotel is on the banks of the Ruili River. It is a garden-style hotel. The inside is like a park, very beautiful. After check-in, put down the luggage in the room, and look at the sun outside. I don’t even have the idea of visiting the Garden Hotel. Let’s go around tomorrow morning, the sun is too powerful. During the break, Meituan searched for Ruili’s delicacies, and saw a special restaurant of the Jingpo ethnic group with very good online reviews: Ruili Jingyuan Hand-picked Rice, so I ordered a small hand-picked rice set meal without reservation, and went to eat in the evening.
Rest until 5:30, see that the sun is still shining outside, but the temperature is not so high, set off to Jiegao Port (that is, Ruili Port) in front of the country gate to make a card, navigate to Ruili Port, the parking lot in front of the port There are a lot of cars, and I can’t park, so I went around the back street, found a place to park the car, and walked to the front of the country gate. The Ruili Port’s country gate is built with a high-end atmosphere (compared with the Wanding Port’s country gate, Wanding is too dilapidated) It should be said that it has a more historical sense of obsolescence), at this time the light was just right, I took a few photos of the gate of the country, saw a big duty-free shopping mall next to it, and was worried that I would not have a chance to buy some specialties along the way. I plunged into the duty-free shopping mall. There are basically products from Myanmar, Thailand, and Indonesia. There are many varieties, most of which are eaten, and the prices are very close to the people. The baby saw this and wanted to eat that, so I picked two big baskets. I was worried. There were too many things, and I couldn’t take them back after returning the car in Kunming, so I reluctantly put a lot of things back, and I still carried a few big bags back to the car after paying the bill. After getting in the car, follow the navigation and go straight to Jingyuan hand-picked rice. When I arrived at the place, I found that many locals were eating, and there was no room to sit inside. It took almost half an hour to wait in line for the food. I had never eaten the hand-picked rice of the Jingpo people before. It tasted good and I could adapt to this taste. The small set meal was just right, and there was basically no waste.
It’s past eight o’clock when I got back to the hotel. I packed my clothes and went to the hot springs. Today is the last time I went to the hot springs. The Jade Spring is known as the “No. 1 Hot Spring in Yunnan”. Still have to experience it. There is a sightseeing battery car in the hotel. In front of each building where you stay (Building 1, Building 2, villa area, conference center, etc., the hotel is too big), you can take a battery car to the hot spring center. Of course, you can also drive to the hot spring center by yourself. Just inside the hotel, parking is available at the entrance of the hot spring center. After changing the bracelet key at the hot spring center, I went to the hot spring area. The hot spring pools are basically outdoors, and wooden pavilion-style sunshades are built on each pool. The peak period of the Spring Festival holiday has passed, and there are few people. The hot spring Not all of the pools are open, only part of them are open, which is enough. After soaking for a while, I found that although the water quality of the hot spring is very good, it can only be soaked for a while. First, the temperature in Ruili is high, and it is almost 20 degrees at night. Second, the water temperature is also high. If it is too hot, I feel stuffy. The baby shuttles around in various pools. After playing for less than an hour, I thought it was too hot, so I packed up and drove back to my room. In comparison, it is better to soak in hot springs in Yunfeng Mountain, mainly because the outdoor temperature is low. When soaking in hot springs at night, the temperature is around 5 degrees, which is very suitable. In general, Ruili Jingcheng Dihai Hot Spring Resort Hotel is still highly recommended. The hotel room is big, especially the bathroom, which is too big and very domineering! The hotel environment is good, and the hot spring is also good (the temperature is high, not the hotel's problem).

Day7 (February 14) Ruili - Chuxiong (total mileage 560 kilometers)
At 7 o'clock in the morning, my classmates got up to go for a run by the Ruili River. The baby was still asleep. When Gua Dad came back from running, I went out to take pictures of the beautiful Ruili River and appreciate this garden-style hotel. It was nearly 8:30, and I had almost packed my luggage. When my father came back, he told me that the scenery along the Ruili River was beautiful, and the light would be fine, so I drove around the hotel garden in order to hurry up and parked when I saw the beautiful scenery. I took pictures, drove the car to the riverside, and took pictures of the beautiful Ruili River. In the morning, I saw the Dai Palace not far from the hotel in the room. The high wall and the magnificent pagoda inside the wall, I turned around the wall, but I couldn’t find where the gate was, and I didn’t know where to go in. I didn’t meet a pedestrian on the road, and there was nowhere to ask, so I had to drive back to the hotel room. Seeing that it was already 9:30, I quickly took my baby to the restaurant for breakfast. The hotel's buffet breakfast is very rich, and there are all kinds of freshly cooked rice noodles, which taste very good.
After breakfast, go back to the room to check out the luggage, and start the return journey to Kunming. Today’s accommodation destination is Yiren Ancient Town in Chuxiong. The navigation shows that it takes 7 hours. I found a gas station before getting on the expressway. I refueled and sent the car to be washed, so I entered the gas station Fill up the gas and wash the car by the way, so that you don't have to find a place to wash the car before returning the car at Kunming South Station. After cleaning everything up, get on the expressway. The first checkpoint is the Mangshi service area. All the cars are parked and all the windows are rolled down. Everyone’s ID card is checked, and they are asked where they are from and what they are doing in Ruili. After the inspection and answers, they are released. After driving for about 100 kilometers, I arrived at the Mangyan border inspection station, stopped and provided ID card inspection, and let me go without asking questions. There was one checkpoint on the way out and two checkpoints on the return journey. High speed all the way, after two breaks, I arrived at Chuxiong Yiren Ancient Town at 6:30 pm. While driving and chatting on the road, I suddenly remembered that I can send the things I bought from Chuxiong back to Nanjing, so that I don’t have to take so many things, and it’s free I packed it at the airport and thought that I could post it. I regretted that I bought less food, and I didn’t have enough points when I came back. I even regretted that on the roadside to Wanding, there were local green fruits for sale, which is what we call milk dates. This green fruit is better than mine. I have eaten too many delicious foods in Nanjing, and the price is very cheap. I just bought a few catties and ate them on the road because I thought it would be difficult to get them. I ended up eating them in two days. If I realized that I could send it by mail, I would definitely buy more. I really lost my mind at the time.
The newly built Yiren ancient town, the Chuxiong Bancheng Hotel booked, the room is nice and new, the decoration is very local, the price is 161 yuan (including two breakfasts), the price is the cheapest one-night stay in this trip, it is very suitable for returning It is said that the ancient town of Yi people is very lively at night, and the night market is very bustling. There are basically no people in the ancient town during the day. I plan to go out for a stroll after my child finishes online classes at night. After check-in, I packed up and asked the girl at the front desk to call the courier to pick up the goods with cardboard boxes. After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the courier brother came to the door. The service is excellent and the postage is not expensive. Finally, it is difficult to carry too much luggage. Solved, you can easily get on the plane. After 8 o'clock, I took my baby out for a stroll and settled for dinner. I found that there were still no people in the ancient town. It is estimated that the peak period of the Spring Festival holiday is over. Except for the restaurants, there are no other shops in the ancient town open for business, and there is nothing to go shopping. I found a restaurant and ordered a few special dishes of the Yi nationality. We were the only ones at the table, and a large table next to it seemed to be the boss’s relatives having a New Year’s party. A musical instrument that looks a bit like a three-stringed lute, it should be a musical instrument of the Yi people. Although it is simple, the qin is covered with cute patterns. It is played and sang, probably like a toast song. The atmosphere is strong and beautiful. After dinner, I went back to the hotel to wash up and then rested. The driving time today was quite long, so I had to rest early. I will go to Kunming tomorrow to see the red-billed gulls.

Day8 (February 15) Chuxiong—Kunming South Railway Station—Guiyang (total driving mileage 190KM)
When I checked in, the little girl at the front desk told me that the breakfast starts at 7:30. Although the breakfast is simple (white rice porridge, buns, steamed buns, and eggs), it is home-cooked. It is very comfortable to eat. After eating, I packed up and checked out and left after 8 o’clock. This morning Go directly to the Sea Terrier Dam in Kunming to see the red-billed gulls, because the plane was late when I came, and I didn’t come to see the gulls in Dianchi Lake. High-speed navigation all the way directly to the Haigeng Dam, about 10:30, parked the car and took the biscuits bought in the ancient town yesterday, and went to see the Dianchi Lake to feed the red-billed gulls. This time is just right, it is the breakfast time of the lovely red-billed gulls , There are many red-billed gulls, not afraid of people at all. Many people on the dam are feeding, holding biscuits or bread, and the cuties fly over to pick them up. Guagua is so happy. I wanted to feed it again, so I bought 2 bags of bread on the spot and fed her again. The dad accompanied the baby to feed the gulls. I walked by Dianchi Lake for a while and found that the water quality of Dianchi Lake was much better than when I went to Kunming in 2012. , it seems that the management of Dianchi Lake in Kunming has been very effective in the past few years. Under the blue sky, the water in Dianchi Lake is rippling, and the red-billed gulls are all over the sky. This is the way to live in harmony between man and nature.
After feeding the red-billed gulls, it is close to 11:30. At this time, the red-billed gulls are not as crazy as they are after 10 o'clock. It is estimated that they are almost full. It seems that the golden time to feed the gulls is 10:00 am— 11:30. After getting on the bus, Meituan searched for nearby delicacies, and found a wild mushroom hot pot restaurant: Yiduojun, with good customer reviews, just met the wish of Xiagua Dad to eat wild mushrooms in Yunnan, and immediately ordered a set meal for 2 people without reservation , and then drove directly to the store. When I arrived at the store, I found that the set meal for 2 people was really rich (chicken pot bottom + wild mushroom platter + vegetable platter + passion fruit juice), which was delicious and memorable. After cooking the hot pot, drive the navigation and return the car directly to the Yihi car rental point in Kunming South Railway Station. It is very convenient to return the car. After looking at the appearance, just give the car key to the younger brother. The younger brother sees that we are going to take the high-speed rail, so we drive Send us directly to the ticket entrance, the service is so considerate, I must give my little brother a thumbs up. At 15:10, the high-speed train from Kunming south to Guiyang north took about 2 hours. When I was looking at the air tickets, the return flight to Kunming was too expensive, and the return flight to Guiyang was half cheaper, so I decided to fly from Guiyang to Nanjing and go to Guiyang to eat. Kaili fish in sour soup, to make up for the regret of not eating fish in sour soup when I went to Guiyang, I booked Vienna Hotel (Guiyang Airport Branch) for the evening.
When I was about to arrive in Guiyang, I opened the Vienna official account to see where the specific location was, only to find that the order had been cancelled, and I called the hotel to inquire, saying that the special room was only reserved until 16:00, speechless, lazy entanglement; look carefully The address, the so-called airport store is not close to the airport, the distance is 10 kilometers, forget it or re-book a place close to the old Kaili sour soup fish, so at least it is convenient to eat, Guiyang itself is a small city, the airport is far from the city It's very close, and it doesn't matter if you live in the city. I booked an early flight, and I didn't worry about traffic jams when I took a taxi in the morning. So I re-booked Home Inn (Function Pool Branch, Zhonghua Middle Road). The family room is only 241 yuan. It is really necessary for non-peak season travel. up. After the high-speed rail arrived at Guiyang North Station, the flow of people out of the station surprised me. There were too many people. I guess it would be difficult to take a taxi. After seeing it, I could take the subway directly to the hotel. So I bought a ticket and took the subway for 4 stops. People on the subway On the contrary, it’s not too much. When I came out of the subway station, it was drizzling, and I was shivering from the wet and cold weather in Guiyang. The weather in Guiyang is too different from that in Yunnan. I was so dizzy that I arrived in Guiyang this evening, and it was simply a double sky of ice and fire. Dragging the luggage and dragging the baby to the hotel, the first thing to do when you check in to the room is to add clothes, down jacket and long johns on your upper body, pack up and rest, and set off for Lao Kaili Sour Soup Fish, the walking navigation opened by Gua Dad , I was navigating to the Provincial Store, which is about 800 meters away from Home Inns. As a result, I walked out and estimated that it was 400 meters away. I saw a new store (Fushui store) opened by Lao Kaili Sour Soup Fish. I went in and took a look. If there is a seat, there is no need to queue up (according to the Internet, provincial stores usually need to queue), so I decided to eat at Fushui store. In addition to ordering the signature fish in sour soup, there are other special dishes with good reviews on the Internet, plus a There is rice wine in the bottle, and the dishes are served quickly. The fish in sour soup tastes good. It is completely different from the fish in sour soup that I have eaten in Nanjing.

Day9 (February 16) Guiyang---Nanjing
I woke up at 5:00 am and set off for the airport at 5:30 am. When I was about to go out, Didi booked a taxi to go to the airport. After I packed up and went out, I found that the elevator did not respond and the indicator light was not on (I live on the 11th floor, the hotel reception On the 4th floor), it is inconvenient to take the stairs with a big suitcase. The taxi driver called downstairs to remind me. I called the front desk early in the morning and no one answered, so Dad left the luggage for me. Going up the stairs to the 4th floor, I asked the front desk. When I got to the 4th floor, I found that the elevator was parked on the 4th floor and was being repaired. The front desk told me that there was an elevator behind me, so I took the elevator at the back and went up to the 11th floor. After picking me up from the elevator at the back to the first floor, I found that the outside door was locked and I couldn’t get out at all, so I had to turn back and take the elevator to the front desk on the 4th floor, carry the box from the 4th floor and walk down the stairs, go out from the front door, and go to the door I didn't see the car, so I called the driver, but the driver said that he didn't wait for us when he saw someone taking a taxi; I really wanted to cry, it was so early in the morning, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch the plane. Fortunately, I didn't wait for 2 minutes by the side of the road. There was an empty taxi coming, so I jumped into the car and asked the driver to drive a little faster and headed straight to the airport. The driver was very good on the road, and I arrived at the airport in less than 20 minutes. After arriving at the airport, I ran all the way to change the boarding pass security check. No surprises. I caught up with the danger, and this can be regarded as a small episode of traveling. It is possible to encounter any situation. Maybe unknown things and unknown beauty are also one of the meanings of travel. In any case, this trip to the west of Yunnan has come to a perfect end. Yunnan is really a beautiful place. There are too many beautiful scenery and too many delicacies waiting for us to experience. See you in the west of Yunnan! Yunnan, see you soon! !
