As you all know, Yunnan is a good place to travel, and there are countless interesting places. If you select the four most popular tourist cities from the many cities in Yunnan, I believe everyone will have a different answer. Anyway, in my mind, Yunnan is "four "Golden Flower" are Xishuangbanna, Tengchong, Shangri-La and Kunming respectively.
Because I am going to Xishuangbanna to experience the tropical rainforest, and I love the Heshun Ancient Town in Tengchong, the paradise in Shangri-La, and, in this season, how can I go to Kunming Dianchi to feed seagulls?
I have to say that this trip to Yunnan was really crazy, because I went to many places, the battle line was very long, and the boats and cars were tiring, but the enthusiasm in my heart weakened this emotion. Originally, the first stop in the original itinerary was to Kunming, because it is very convenient to transfer trains and trains in Kunming. Later, I learned that Guangzhou can fly directly to Xishuangbanna, so I temporarily changed the itinerary.
First stop: Xishuangbanna
Transportation: direct flight from Guangzhou
Accommodation: Xishuangbanna Yunmeiting Inn
This inn is a typical Dai style, full of tropical rainforest, very cozy. Its best feature is that the view outside the window is wide open, with green hills and dark colors in the distance, clouds and smoke, which is very artistic.
tourist attractions
When you arrive in Banna, of course you have to see the tropical rainforest. There are two scenic spots to see. The first is the more authentic tropical rainforest scenic spot - Wangtianshu scenic spot. The second is the Botanical Garden of Menglun Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is very close to the inn where I live. . I personally think the botanical garden is more fun. There are seven parks there. The tropical rainforest scenic area is surrounded by green trees and streams. It feels very comfortable. However, the canopy corridor in Wangtianshu Scenic Area is quite exciting. Walking on a tree more than 30 meters high has never been experienced before, and it is very fresh.
In fact, I didn’t know until I arrived in Banna that many places in Banna are like tropical rain forests, with extremely high forest coverage, like a primeval forest park, where the air is very good. There are hundreds of peacocks there, and it’s so beautiful when they fly.
After staying in Banna for 3 days, I also went to Wild Elephant Valley, Manting Park, Jinuo Village and Mengle Great Buddha Temple. I recommend everyone to go to Jinuo Village and Manting Park, especially the Mekong River bonfire party in Manting Park at night is very fun and unforgettable. .
Food
In Banna, you can see bamboo-related delicacies everywhere, such as bamboo rice, bamboo wine, bamboo grilled fish, etc. The bamboo rice is really fragrant, and the bamboo wine is very refreshing and delicious. Banna may also be due to its unique geographical location, or it is a kind of their culture. Bamboo has become their daily necessities. Even the rooms in the Yunmeiting Inn where I live are decorated with bamboo, which is very natural. .
Precautions
1. Because Banna is a tropical rainforest area, there are many mosquitoes, so you need to prepare some essential oils and the like. 2. Banna claims that there is no hot spot in winter, so it is necessary to do a good job of sun protection, such as sunglasses and sunscreen. 3. If you meet hospitable Dai people, if they invite you to their home, don’t enter the bedroom at will, don’t even look at it.
Second stop: Tengchong
Transportation: Bus
Relatively speaking, the distance from Banna to Tengchong is not too far, so I finally chose a car.
Accommodation: Mohe Shuxin Panoramic Hot Spring Hotel, Heshun Ancient Town
Although the name of this hotel is hard to remember, it is really hardcore. It matches well with the paradise-like Heshun Ancient Town. The interior of the hotel is like an orchid in an empty valley, quiet and quiet, the rooms are really good, one room with one view, 360-degree invincible scenery, very comfortable like a spring breeze.
tourist attractions
The first stop in Tengchong is of course Heshun Ancient Town. This place that appeared in the dream is really beautiful. Qingshiban Road, people with small bridges and flowing water, laundry kiosks at the entrance of the village, and pavilions for leisurely tea tasting. The distant mountains are like Daisy, and the water is close. With smoke, it seems to have walked into the Taohuayuan described by Tao Yuanming, and what is more valuable is that there will always be a trace of inner calm and calmness.
I also stayed in Tengchong for 3 days and went to Ginkgo Village. This village is also very quiet. The villagers are very simple. There are endless apricot forests of 10,000 mu, and the city is full of golden flowers. The beauty is a bit unreal. If I go later , It should be more beautiful if you go again in late autumn.
I soaked in Atami hot spring once. In Atami, I realized what a real "hot spring" is. I felt that the baths I had before were all fake. Went to the Dieshuihe Waterfall, went to the Beihai Wetland, the Beihai Wetland is a very interesting place, where you can see the moving prairie, reed grass floating in it, the river water is clear, like a mirror, especially artistic conception.
Food
Recommend a few Tengchong delicacies. Eggplant meat has unique local characteristics. Brown buns are the top-grade ingredients in Tengchong cuisine, and are also an important main ingredient of "sea, land and air". In short, this dish brings the ecological eating habits of Tengchong people to the extreme. Tengchong is a must. And Xiake chicken is more delicious, everyone must try it when you come to Tengchong!
Third stop: Shangri-La
Transportation: It was quite tiring from Tengchong to Shangri-La. There was no direct flight. I took a car to Lijiang first. I didn’t rest in Lijiang in the middle, so I went directly to Shangri-La (I really admired myself at the time).
Accommodation: Floral Hotel Shangri-La Sun Moon Villa
This is an inn with a Tibetan style. It is very quiet in the ancient city of Dukezong. The room is so spacious that you can play basketball. It feels like you can run freely. I especially like the small yard there, where you can play billiards for entertainment. There is a loft The feeling is very relaxing.
tourist attractions
Shangri-La, the last piece of pure land for human beings, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a fairyland on earth. The holiness and nobility of Meili Snow Mountain have left a deep impression on me, and I finally understand what is meant by "you can only watch from a distance and not play with it". . If you want to see the whole picture of Meili, it is best to go to Feilai Temple, where there is the best viewing platform. The luckiest thing is that I also saw the spectacle of "Rizhao Jinshan". I heard that this spectacle is not for everyone. Oh, I can see it.
Go to Shika Snow Mountain to check in, and you can see eight snow mountains at the same time on the top of the mountain. It is the only one in the world that can do it. Behind the main peak is the Blue Moon Valley, which is full of infinite longing. I also went to Songzanlin Monastery and Napa Lake. The sky in Napa Lake is so blue. Just looking at the sky has already fallen. Everywhere you take a picture is a big movie. When you go, you can see birds and beasts everywhere. Passed by, maybe they came there for the winter?
Finally, I will give you another scenic spot: Dukezong Ancient City. The ancient city of Dukezong is a thousand-year-old city, also known as the city of moonlight. It was built on the mountain and was built according to the ideal country in the Buddhist scriptures. It is very antique and there are still many traces of thousands of years. The illusion of traveling through the millennium, especially after staying in a big city for a long time, there is a possibility of another state of mind when you go to that kind of place, and the Riyue Bieyuan Inn in my heart is in it, which is super convenient.
Precautions
1. Pay attention to altitude sickness, bring some rhodiola over there, do not walk too fast, do what you can 2. The temperature difference is large, keep warm, no matter what season you go, you must prepare thick clothes. 3. It is recommended to prepare more cash, because not all places can pay by mobile phone.
Last stop: Kunming
Transportation: Shangri-La to Kunming, Diqing Shangri-La Airport to Kunming Changshui International Airport
Accommodation: Kunming Dachanghang Hotel
This hotel is relatively close to Changshui Airport. They sent a driver to pick me up when I got off the plane. The hotel has a gym, golf and other entertainment items. The room is in a light Yunnan style, with excellent lighting, and you can see it from afar Cangshan and Erhai are very comfortable, and they are also responsible for sending them to the airport on the return trip, which is very good.
tourist attractions
On the first day, I went to Dianchi Lake, which is the soul attraction of Kunming, especially the red-headed gulls that fly over from Siberia in autumn and winter. Unfortunately, there were not many seagulls when I went there. If it takes another half a month, the sky will be full. Dianchi Lake, full of seagulls, should be very magnificent.
Because the Yunnan Ethnic Village is next to Dianchi Lake, and I also traveled together. The Yunnan Ethnic Village has very ethnic characteristics. The concentration of 26 ethnic groups is really large inside. The scenery with various characteristics is dizzying, and the cultural atmosphere is also strong. Worth a visit.
Of course, I also went to the Stone Forest. The Stone Forest is a masterpiece of nature. Looking at the row upon row of stones, I was very moved: Nature is so vast, and human beings are so small. Afterwards, I went to Cuihu Park and Jiangwu Hall. These two places are very close. The small yellow building in the Jiangwu Hall has a sense of age, and the photos are beautiful. Originally, I planned to go to Jiuxiang Karst Cave. Later, something happened in Guangzhou, so I ended my trip to Kunming and returned to Guangzhou via Changshui Airport.
Food
When it comes to food, we must mention Yunnan rice noodles! The Dachanghang Hotel where I stayed has this. It is very authentic and delicious. In addition, there are roasted bait, wild mushrooms, knife duck and crispy beef, etc. Friends who travel to Kunming must try it.
Summary of Yunnan trip:
This trip to Yunnan took a total of 13 days. Because it is a free trip, I can control the time by myself. I am not in a hurry and I feel more relaxed. Therefore, I have also traveled to the best scenic spots in various places. Although the journey is many and tiring, but I also enjoyed it, because many of the scenic spots inside are what I have been longing for, and this time I finally "caught them all" this time. I am very happy and have an indescribable sense of conquest.
Also, fortunately, in the past 13 days, the hotels I booked in every city I visited were good, and they even gave me a better mood, adding to the icing on the cake of my trip to Yunnan. This is really great! Thank you for your vision and luck.
In the end, I would like to share my trip to Yunnan with you, and I hope my hard code words can bring you a little bit of help or inspiration!
