This trip is for my wife to accompany me to Yunnan to relax, after all, she has been to Lijiang and Dali. This time I mainly wanted to enjoy the scenery of the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna. The two of us are very free-wheeling people. We wanted to stop and go according to our own ideas, so we chose independent travel. Air tickets, hotels, and scenic spots are all made by ourselves. , It is a very cumbersome thing to start the strategy first. Seeing that there are so many itineraries to be booked, the whole head is blown. I don’t want to do it for a few days. Then I finally set the time and start to book the air tickets and hotels slowly. In fact, the strategy is very simple. Just think about where you want to go and how much time you need. Just arrange the air ticket and hotel and it will be OK!
Take a look at the approximate itinerary and cost of this trip:
September 13 Chengdu - direct flight - Kunming
September 14 Kunming - Train - Dali
September 16 Dali - Green Leather Train - Lijiang
September 18 Lijiang - direct flight - Xishuangbanna
September 21 Xishuangbanna - Kunming transfer - Chengdu
Double ticket cost: 1619*2=￥3238
Train + train fare: Kunming to Dali 145*2=290. Dali to Lijiang 34*2=68. ￥358
Hotel fee: ￥2107
Attraction fee: ￥3480
Others, including meals, taxis, souvenirs, etc., add up to a total of almost ￥12,000.
This cost is the cost calculated after the final play. The budget for the first two people was about ￥11,000, because the estimated itinerary was almost the same price, and in the end it exceeded almost 1,000. Basically all orders are placed on Ctrip, only a few other websites are cheaper or purchased directly from scenic spots. The following will introduce the itinerary, hotels and attractions in detail.
PS:
One: In Yunnan in September, it is recommended that you bring a coat, otherwise it will be too troublesome to check in luggage if you have too many thick clothes. You can wear short-sleeved during the day as long as it is not rainy. Lijiang may be a little colder, but it is acceptable. The weather in Yunnan also stops raining immediately, and it rains again after a while. Sometimes the sun comes out and it rains again. Don’t trust the weather forecast, it’s very inaccurate~~
Two: For rice noodles, snacks, etc., it is recommended that you do not go to so-called chain stores, but go to those small roadside shops. They are delicious and affordable. The price is only about 10 yuan a bowl, and there are many small bowls. .
Three: You can book the air ticket about 10 days in advance. I was almost 20 days in advance, which caused some itineraries to cost more than 100 yuan. You can use the Ctrip air ticket monitoring function to remind you of the price reduction. Train tickets can be booked in advance, there is no discount for this. It doesn’t matter when you book the hotel, because after booking, you can cancel for free the day before check-in. If you find that the price is lower, you can place the order again. Many hotels have airport (station) pick-up and drop-off services. This is in your favorite hotel If the price is right, it is recommended to choose first. I booked Lijiang and Xishuangbanna with pick-up and drop-off services. But after the check-in experience, it is recommended that you book a chain of high-end hotels, after all, the sanitary conditions and services are much better. Like floral architecture, Vienna and the like. It is best not to consider the more than 100 homestays, not to mention the poor environmental sanitation, and the service is not good.
Four: Dali and Xishuangbanna have direct trains to scenic spots. You can book tickets directly by following WeChat. You can book one-day tours, one-way tickets or tickets, and even rent a car. I rented a car on it when I traveled around Erhai Lake. Dali's official account is "Dali Travel Service", and Xishuangbanna's official account is "Banna Haoxing".
Five: The itinerary of free travel is changing at any time, and we have adjusted it several times in the middle according to the time, because some places have too much time, so it depends entirely on where you like to stay for a while.
September 13: Visit Kunming Golden Horse and Jade Rooster, live in Kunming
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the festival at noon, I packed up my luggage and prepared things for the trip. I recommend the Ctrip app. There is a travel list on my homepage, and the items I need are listed in detail. I used this to pack. . The plane flies directly to Kunming at 6:15 pm. After arriving in Kunming at 7:50 pm, you can take the subway at the airport. It costs about ￥100 to take a taxi from the airport to the city. The hotel we booked is Kunming Private Joy Hotel Beijing Road Tangzi Lane Subway The station store, thinking that this place is close to the railway station, urban area, and subway, after all, I will have to go to Dali by train the next day, and the hotel fee is ¥236/night. This hotel is recommended to stay in. Although the price is the cheapest in the whole itinerary, it may be the reason for the new opening, but the environment feels the best. You can also read it directly on Ctrip, the basic description is the same.
After checking into the hotel, I took a taxi directly to the Golden Horse and Jade Rooster. It is very close to the hotel, and the starting price is only one. You can walk back to the hotel when you come back. When you come to the city of Kunming, you don’t feel any tourist atmosphere. It’s just like Chengdu. In a modern city, Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Square went there after 9 o'clock, so many shops were closed, basically selling small commodities, next to it is Nanping Pedestrian Street, which is the same as Chunxi Road, Golden Horse and Jade Rooster There are two archways. Although it was past 9 o’clock, there were still many people. Then the two of them found a roadside stall with fried rice noodles and barbecue in the alley because they hadn’t finished their meal. On the other hand, the taste is also very good.
After a full meal, return to the hotel to rest and end the first day happily.
September 14: Visit Kunming Dianchi Lake and Xishan Scenic Area, live in Dali
After getting up at 8:30 in the morning, the sun is shining outside the window, which makes people feel in a good mood. After packing up, there is a Baixiang Garden downstairs in the hotel, which has rice noodles and fast food. When I come to Yunnan, I feel like I eat all kinds of rice noodles and rice every day. Dry or something, but delicious nonetheless. The seasonings for rice noodles in Yunnan are all prepared by ourselves. Personally, I like spicy food, and the chili oil is really fragrant. After eating breakfast, I took a taxi directly to Dianchi Lake. The original plan was to play with the ethnic village next to it. In the car, I heard the master say that the ethnic village is concentrated, and I can’t experience the basic ethnic customs at all. Then I went to Dianchi Lake first. Dianchi Lake Bought a round-trip cableway ticket ￥70/person. It is highly recommended to take the cableway to watch the entire Dianchi Lake scenery. After taking the cableway, you can overlook the entire Kunming City. The terminal of the cableway is the Xishan Scenic Area. This scenic spot is completely out of the plan. I chose to go, but I was not disappointed. . Let’s take a look at the scenery of Dianchi Lake first:
Simply speaking, I personally think it is necessary to come to Xishan Scenic Area, because the feeling of seeing the scenery on it is different. The charging standard of Xishan Scenic Area: Longmen ticket ￥30/person, one-way battery car ￥10/person, one-way cableway ￥ 25/person. You still have to go to the Dragon Gate, as the saying goes, "If you jump over the Dragon Gate, you will be worth a hundred times".
It is recommended not to go back and play: take a battery car to Longmen - play Longmen Scenic Area - get off the one-way cableway - get off the Dianchi Cableway - play Haigeng Park. Taken in Xishan Scenic Area:
I stayed in Haigeng Park for more than an hour. I took a taxi back to the hotel at 1:00 p.m. to pick up my luggage, and then ate rice noodles at the entrance of the hotel. Drive to Dali. What I want to say here is that you can’t get off at the Kunming Railway Station subway station by subway. You have to get off at Huancheng South Road one stop before you get off. After getting off, you can walk nearly 1 kilometer to the train station. Does this count as Yunnan? Eighteen monsters!
The bullet train arrives at Dali Railway Station after 6:00, and there is a scenic through train directly at the exit. Buying a ticket to Dali Ancient City only costs 5 yuan per person, and it is direct, which is much more cost-effective than taxis and buses. The departure time of this through train is based on the arrival time of the train, so the time is completely appropriate. In the evening, I stayed at Dali Ancient City Vienna Hotel. The hotel fee was 256 yuan/night. The Ancient City Vienna Hotel is located in the center of Dali Ancient City. I ate a lot of skewers at night, as well as the famous local bait fan (the taste of milk inside). In the evening, I ate the secret baked gluten in the ancient city. The advertisement is "the second in the world, the second in the country, and the second in the ancient city". The taste is quite good, and the rose milk tea of "Fat Ding in Dali" is highly recommended! Grilled skewers on the street cost 1 yuan a skewer, and then order a takeaway fried rice, which is the perfect end to the day!
September 15th: Tour Dali Cangshan, live in Dali
On the third day of the trip, today’s task is still quite heavy. After all, we have to go to Cangshan Mountain. Although we don’t go to the top, the route we chose to hike Yudai Yunyou Road is estimated to be about 7 kilometers in one day. It is not recommended to buy round-trip cableway tickets online when traveling in Cangshan, because both the Gantong Cableway and Ximatan Cableway sell round-trip tickets online. Can not fully experience the beauty of Cangshan. Recommended route:
Dali Ancient City Scenic Spot Through Train—On the Gantong Cableway (buy a one-way ticket ￥85/person [including the entrance fee of ￥35/person])——Visit the Zhenlong Chess Game and Qingbixi Scenic Spot——Take a walk on Yudai Yunyou Road ( 4.5KM)——Qilongnv Pond (it’s not very far to climb up, it’s recommended to go up and have a look)——Go back and walk on the Qilongnv Pond cableway ([Buy a one-way ticket ￥80/person] This section is because it keeps going uphill, the front Walked a long way again, physical strength is still a big test)—Take the cableway down—Tianlong Babu Film and Television City—Scenic through train back to Dali Ancient City.
We followed this route. We set off at 8:30 in the morning and came down after 1:00 in the afternoon. It’s OK to bring some dry food. At first, we plan to visit Cangshan Mountain for one day. During the trip, the plan can’t keep up with the changes, and the itinerary is often changed. . Another thing I want to complain about is Tianlong Babu Film and Television City. It seems that it costs ￥40 to buy tickets separately. If I buy a round-trip cableway ticket online, I will give it away. But when I got off the Qilongnvchi cableway station, there was only one way to go out of the scenic spot. It is Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, and you are already in the film and television city when you come here. There are pits everywhere! Fortunately, there was no separate ticket! Back in the ancient city, it was the rhythm of rice noodles again, and I kept talking about having a proper meal, because it was scheduled to be in the evening again due to time constraints.
After filling my stomach, I went to the hotel to pick up my luggage and took a taxi to the Dali Tourist Center to pick up the rented car. I was going to travel around the Erhai Lake the next day, because I wanted to experience the feeling of a sea view room in the double corridor at night, so I rented a car directly for one day, two days. It is also troublesome for people to go to Shuanglang by car, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth. Renting a car plus insurance costs ￥300 [including scratch insurance]. In fact, insurance is to buy peace of mind. Pick up the car and go directly to Shuanglang on West Huanhai Road. I can’t wait to experience the feeling of the Erhai Sea. However, because West Huanhai Road is under construction, and many roads are still in the village, it is very narrow. It is recommended that larger cars do not take it. . The road surface is also not good, because it has rained, and there are mud puddles everywhere. After walking for a long time, I walked back to the provincial road. I didn’t know that I had passed the Xizhou Ancient Town before taking the Huanhai Road again. Behind it is the Huanhai East Road. The East Road is very good. It can be described as high-speed. It feels so good to drive a car by the Erhai Lake, and the wind blows. Many people take pictures. Students who like to take pictures can rent a car Beetle or Wrangler to take pictures. The Erhai Lake is almost full of scenery. Take a look at West Huanhai Road:
Drive slowly and finally arrived at Shuanglang Ancient Town. There are a lot of parking lots in Shuanglang Ancient Town. Just choose one close to your hotel. The reference price is generally ￥30 per bowl, and there are parking lots along the way. We just parked the car a little far away, which is very annoying, because the ancient town is also full of stone roads, and it is still very troublesome to carry luggage. In the evening, I stayed at the Haicun Seaview Hotel, which is also available on Ctrip. The hotel fee is ￥480/night. In fact, there is not much luggage or you don’t think it’s troublesome. You don’t need to book a hotel in advance in Shuanglang. You may need to book in advance during the peak tourist season. When you walk into Shuanglang and think the location is good, you can go to the hotel and ask. There are usually rooms, and you can check first before checking in. . That would be a little more satisfying. Of course, you can choose the first floor or the second floor to live in a sea view room. Personally, I think the first floor is more comfortable. I live on the first floor, there is a balcony to shoot:
In the evening, I finally had a proper meal. The popular list of Dianping, "Shuanglang Yujia Xiaoyuan", serves Yunnan cuisine. Two people ate roasted pork belly, fried beef with sauerkraut, and watery flowers. Also drank a sour plum soup. The taste is still good. I especially recommend the sauerkraut fried beef, which is very good with rice. In the evening, we continued the rhythm of the barbecue, and even made a bottle of Feng Hua Xue Yue to experience the experience. The Dali Shiguang yogurt is also delicious. Another day.
September 16: Visit Erhai Lake in Dali, Mufu in Lijiang, live in Lijiang
I finally had a late sleep today and woke up around 8 o'clock every day. Because the 4:00 p.m. train is scheduled to go to Lijiang today, and there is only one itinerary for traveling around Erhai East Road, so I decided to sleep late. Every morning I wake up with rice noodles, and I feel like I am eating rice noodles every day. Here I would like to tell my friends who are traveling around the Erhai Lake that you must rent a car to travel around the Erhai Lake. It is impossible to ride a bicycle too far, and the battery car is the same, and you have to return it wherever you rent it. , and renting a car is much more convenient. For example, the car I rented in the ancient city can be returned at the train station, which saves the taxi fare. The extension line of Huanhai East Road is really the most beautiful Erhai Lake. The Erhai Lake is next to the road. It is very close. As long as you don’t park at the place where the no parking sign is, it is generally fine. You can stop to take pictures without affecting the traffic. Generally, there are many cars parked in places with good scenery, so go with the flow. When you come to Erhai Lake, you must take Huanhai East Road! Let me share with you:
It took only 3 hours to stop and go all the way on Huanhai East Road. We spent two hours, and the plan changed again. The time was only 12 o'clock. We went to the train station and changed the train to Lijiang after 1 o'clock in the afternoon. , Lunch was settled casually at the train station. Take the green leather train to Lijiang, but it is faster than a car. It only takes a little more than two hours. The train is a hard seat converted from a sleeper berth. It is still good in all aspects. It is not as bad as imagined, although it is not as good as the high-speed train. The scenery along the road from Dali to Immediately is okay, and friends who are bored can enjoy it. Arrived in Lijiang at nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The weather in Lijiang is going to be colder, so you need to wear a coat. I took a taxi from Lijiang Railway Station to the ancient city and stayed at the Floral Inn. What I want to say is that Lijiang Railway Station charges a taxi fare of 3 yuan, which is so weird! It costs about 30 yuan to take a taxi from the train station to the ancient city. The Floral Hotel is very good. When we arrived, we even came out to pick it up, help with luggage, and check in. The room was very cheap, and we will continue to choose Floral Hotel next time. The price is ￥280/night. Staying for two nights also provided a free airport pick-up and drop-off service. In the end, I chose to drop off the airport. It costs 80 yuan to take a taxi to the airport. Then I strolled through the ancient city and passed Mufu. I really didn’t plan to go, because the Internet said that Mufu stopped entering the park at 5 pm, but I didn’t know that the park was closed until 7 pm. I bought a ticket of ￥40/person to go in. It's worth spending money to visit, you can see the whole Old Town of Lijiang.

Mufu Gate
After visiting Mufu, Dianping found a hot pot with waxed pork ribs. The taste is very good. The waxed pork ribs are delicious, and the bait and wild mushrooms are also delicious. When you come to Lijiang, you must eat the waxed pork ribs hot pot. It seems that Lijiang does not charge the ancient city maintenance fee at night, but I did not charge it when I went during the day the next day. I don’t know if it is no longer charged. The ancient city of Lijiang is more emotional and artistic than Dali. When you enter the ancient city, your heart is different from Dali. The feeling of Dali ancient city is the same as other ancient towns. It feels very modern, but Lijiang lacks a part. Prosperity, more literature and art, may be the reason why there are few people in Lijiang in September. Lijiang Old Town is still very beautiful at night:
The whole freshly baked flower cake and a bottle of Dali Shiguang yogurt before going to bed are very good! Go to bed early and challenge Jade Dragon Snow Mountain 4680 tomorrow!
September 17: Tour Lijiang Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, live in Lijiang
Today's itinerary is quite tiring. After all, the altitude is 4680. Even if you go up by cable car, you still have to climb more than 100 meters of plank road. I reported in advance a local one-day pure play small group ￥366/person (including the cost of going to the big cableway). The master started to pick up people at 7:30, and arrived at the scenic spot at about 9:00. I want to complain about this group here. I hope that when you sign up for a one-day tour, you must choose a large travel company. I will mention later that the tour in Banna is very good. I won’t mention the name of this one in Lijiang. First of all, the car is not owned by a regular travel company, but a 9-seater van used by a local private person to solicit customers. But the travel company insists that it is a commercial vehicle, which cannot be justified. And the tour guide is the master, there is quite no need to exist, so he will send you to the scenic spot, and then pick you up at the designated time, and you will play by yourself in the middle, there is no so-called explanation or the like. In the end, I gave a three-star review on Ctrip, and came to me every day to cancel the review. I refused decisively. I must let all users see the real thing. I never give malicious reviews. But Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is still very good, because it involves cableway tickets starting at 7:00 on the same day, and real-name purchases, and there is a specified time for taking the cableway, groups seem to be able to buy 2-3 days in advance, so you can only use the big cableway Tickets to adjust the itinerary, this free adjustment.
Here I will introduce to you the places to play in the scenic spot. The Blue Moon Valley scenic spot is a must. Here I will tell you about the sightseeing battery car in the Blue Moon Valley. Then you can choose a battery car for the whole journey (3 stops) or a one-way battery car, and you can also buy it halfway. One stop is ￥20 per person, and three stops are ￥50 per person. I bought the whole journey, but later I found out that it is very close. I suggest that you don’t need to buy it. You can buy it when you can’t walk. You can definitely walk at a stop in the middle, because there are beautiful scenery, the weather is not hot, and the altitude is not high. The distance Not far away. There are a total of three stops from the top to the bottom of the Blue Moon Valley. I personally suggest that the last one is to take a sightseeing bus after listening to Taohu Lake. You only need to spend 20 yuan, because after the last visit, you have to go to the station and take a bus back The visitor center, here is another uphill, and the rest are downhill. So here I recommend everyone to take a sightseeing car to save energy. The visitor center also offers snow kitchen buffet and small hot pot, which are ￥48 and ￥78 per person. There are also KFC and other restaurants, which are free to choose. Recommended route: Hike from the starting point of the Blue Moon Valley Sightseeing Car - Hike Baishui River - Hike Yuye Lake - Hike Jingtan Lake - Hike Tingtao Lake - Take a sightseeing bus and take a bus back to the visitor center. The Blue Moon Valley is really beautiful, take a look at the photos:
Next we have the cableway ticket at 1 pm, and we can get on it at 12:30. There are more people on the big cableway. It is the most difficult plank road of more than 100 meters. Don't imagine that it is only more than 100 meters, but it is more than 4,000 meters above sea level. People with poor physical strength should not force themselves. Be sure to bring oxygen cylinders and down jackets!
Don't stay on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for too long, 1 and a half hours is basically the same, too long after all, the plateau is afraid of bad health, it should be considered according to personal conditions. At about 4:00 p.m., I returned to the ancient city from the snow mountain at 5:00 p.m. After returning to the hotel for a rest, I found the "Dian Chef Restaurant", the number one Yunnan cuisine hot list in Dianping, which is opposite to Xiaxia Music Workshop. It was like 6 o'clock and I still had to queue up. In the end, I didn't wait so long because I had to fight for a seat. I ordered stir-fried yak meat. Wild mountain mushroom ham copper pot rice, caravan grilled fish, assorted wild vegetables. Two people spend ￥164. It is more appropriate to spend in the ancient city. In fact, it is enough to order three dishes. The portion is very large and you can’t finish it. The caravan grilled fish is made of tilapia. Down.
After a full meal, stroll around the ancient city. After the rain, the ancient city is relatively quiet, and there are very few people today. It is very comfortable to walk in the ancient city. I rested early and prepared to go to the airport to fly to the tropical rainforest Xishuangbanna at 7:00 the next day.
September 18: Tour Xishuangbanna Banna Wild Elephant Valley, live in Banna
I got up earlier this morning. The plane arrived at Banna at 9 o'clock, and the hotel arranged to send the plane to Sanyi Airport at 7 o'clock. It took about 30 minutes for the ancient city to go to the airport in the morning. The building of Sanyi Airport is also an antique building, which is very flavorful! I have been expecting that the plane will not be late, because there is a itinerary to Banna Wild Elephant Valley at 1:15 pm, and I arrive in Banna at 11:10 pm. The hotel arranges a pick-up service. Zhuang Night Market, 5 minutes walk from Gaozhuang North Gate Visitor Center, very convenient for transportation and travel! Friends who want to stay in Gaozhuang can book this inn on Ctrip. It is a Douyin online celebrity shop. I booked it at ￥280/night. It seems to be more than 1,000 in peak season, but after playing for a few days, I don’t think it’s necessary to stay. Tell Zhuang, because the consumption is too high, which is equivalent to twice that of the riverside night market in the urban area, and you can't really experience the local flavor, that is, the customs! I believe everyone can understand this meaning.
After checking in at the hotel, I found a small shop on the side of the street. I decided to choose Dai rice noodles, various fried rice noodles, cold rice noodles, and boiled rice noodles. , 1:15 pm to the Wild Elephant Valley, return from the Wild Elephant Valley at 5:20, it is very convenient, the time is basically just right, I suggest that friends who have time can have a little more time, because our time is just right . Let’s talk about the itinerary of Xiaye Elephant Valley:
Arrive at the Wild Elephant Valley Scenic Area at 2 o'clock - take the cableway directly to watch the wild elephant growth environment (35 minutes) - take the plank road to watch the wild elephant growth environment - visit the orchid garden, butterfly garden, lizard garden, etc. - watch the elephant show - —End of trip. It is recommended that you only take the one-way cableway, because it is not tiring to walk on the plank road, and it is rarely climbed. It's completely different. I hope everyone can experience it. We didn't see wild elephants this month. It is said that the probability of seeing wild elephants is relatively high in February-March. It depends on luck! On the first day I arrived at the Wild Elephant Valley in Banna, I felt that everything in the tropical rainforest was fresh, and I was tired after seeing too much later. But here I recommend everyone to go to the Wild Elephant Valley. Even if you can’t see the wild elephants, you can feel the growth environment of the entire wild elephants. At the same time, you can watch elephant performances and interact closely with elephants. Basically every performance There are audience interaction sessions, and you can spend 20 yuan to feed the elephants after the performance! Even experience it.
Cableway to watch the Wild Elephant Valley

elephant show
When I watched the elephant show in the afternoon, although the show was pretty good and could make everyone happy, I always felt that these elephants were so pitiful. Those with ivory were broken off. People just used them for fun, and scenic spots used them for fun. Attracting tourists, it should have lived leisurely in the rainforest valley, and it can only sigh! With a strange mood to end the tour of the Wild Elephant Valley.
Arriving in Banna on the first day, I couldn’t wait to go to the night market at night. When I entered the night market, I really felt that I was in a foreign country. The national floating market, each place has a different style, there are all kinds of gadgets, national costumes, fruits, barbecues on the street... It is the first time I see such a big night market, it is really dazzling . The fruit is super delicious, and the snacks are also good, but there is one snack that I didn’t finish after I bought it. Everyone should try it. I can’t name it. I can introduce it to you. It’s fruit mixed with chili. Everyone should know what it's like! In the evening, I went to eat the online celebrity restaurant "Manfeilong Roasted Chicken". I really wanted to complain about it. It was super unpalatable and the service was super bad. But then I heard from the tour guide that there is only 1 restaurant that does well in this roast chicken. I went to the 3rd restaurant. I hope Be careful when you go!

The night market is indeed really beautiful!
September 19: Tour Xishuangbanna Banna Wangtianshu, live in Banna
Continue to get up early. Today’s itinerary is only Wangtianshu, which is relatively easy, but the drive is a bit far away, so I suggest you go with a group. It takes about 3 hours for a one-way trip. When you come back, there is a section of the highway that has not been opened and you have to walk the mountain road. Personally Self-driving is not safe. Going to Wangtianshu is a one-day pure play group, and you can discuss the itinerary with the tour guide. The tour guide also recommends the route, and will always follow you. The group purchase of Wangtianshu cost ￥198, which is cheaper than Banna Haoxing. I added 40 yuan to eat the Internet celebrity dustpan meal at noon, which is not bad. Arrive at Wangtianshu Scenic Area at 10 o'clock in the morning, and go directly to the restaurant for dinner, because you will not be here after arriving in the scenic area by boat.
The general itinerary of Wangtianshu is (without going back): After arriving, have lunch first (around 11 o’clock)—take a cruise ship to enjoy the scenery of Nanla River—arrive at the entrance of Wangtianshu Scenic Area—walk to the canopy corridor—visit the canopy corridor (Included with the group, 120 tickets purchased separately) - Hike the virgin forest - Return to the entrance of Wangtianshu Scenic Spot (around 3:30 pm) - Return to Jinghong City (around 6:30)
Internet celebrity dustpan meal (fried rice + sausage + stewed meat + corn + salted duck egg), the shape is OK, the taste is average.
Nanla River Scenery
Although the Wangtianshu scenic spot is far away, I think it is still worth going. After all, the virgin forest here feels different. Compared with the primitive forest park and other scenic spots, it is a heaven and an underground. This scenic spot has always been less The cause of the fire is estimated to be the long distance and it will take a day. Wangtianshu Scenic Area is the original forest style. The canopy corridor is also connected by several Wangtian trees and two other trees. Wangtian trees are straight and very tall. There is also a glass corridor in the scenic area. I didn't experience it, but walking through other places is definitely not as exciting as this canopy corridor. It is swaying, but you can rest assured that its safety factor is very strong. When you come to Wangtianshu, you must remember to experience it!

Canopy Corridor Down Shooting
After the canopy corridor, walk along the plank road. The slopes are very gentle, and you can only walk until you reach Five Fingers. I heard from the tour guide that not all of them are Wangtian trees. The one in the photo below is a Wangtian tree, which is very big and tall. , the highest seems to be more than 100 meters. It's spectacular.
Wangtianshu
Walking along the plank road, you can watch the entire primitive forest landform, banyan tree strangulation, buttress phenomenon, and many plants that you have never seen before, so that you can really feel the primitive forest. It is very quiet, there are not many people, and you can hardly touch it on the road. who. This kind of travel is my favorite, do you like it? Walk all the way to the entrance of the scenic spot, take the bus back to the city, arrive at the city at about 6:30, go back to the hotel and continue to visit the night market! The night market in Banna can only be said to be too attractive!
September 20: Visit Xishuangbanna Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, Manting Campfire Party, live in Banna
I finally looked forward to the time to go to the Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I first planned to visit the Botanical Garden and the Dai Nationality Garden for a day. After thinking about it, I gave up the Dai Nationality Garden. After booking the tickets to the Manting Campfire Party, you can visit Xiamanting Park by the way. After all, it is the Imperial Garden! In the end, the botanical garden chose an in-depth one-day tour group, the price is ￥259 per person (including meals, battery cars in the east and west scenic spots), and I still get up early in the morning, and the journey takes about 1 hour to arrive. What words should I use to describe it, so that you can truly integrate into nature, all kinds of plants that you have never seen before, you can’t name them at all, it’s okay to come to popular science education with dolls, we laymen can only look at the flowers on horseback look! If you don’t choose the in-depth tour of the botanical garden, a half-day tour of the west area is OK, because there is no development in the east area, and there were almost no people in the past, and the green stone forest in the east area has to climb uphill, which is quite tiring and very steep. It takes about 2 hours to walk from east to west. This scenic spot recommends that everyone buy a battery car, get on it if you want, and walk if you don’t want to. Don’t think how good your physical strength is, because this scenic spot is bigger than you can imagine. I really can’t tell you anything about plants. I can only share some photos with you. About the scenic spots, if you are in a hurry, you can visit the west area. The east area is just more primitive. In fact, the botanical garden is not mainly used for sightseeing. I heard that This place is mainly engaged in scientific research projects, and it was later developed for tourism use, so there are not many people, and many facilities in the scenic area are not very perfect. But this attraction in Xishuangbanna is worth visiting more than any other attraction, because it is the real authority. What Manting Park, Primitive Forest Park, Wild Elephant Valley... are insignificant compared to the Botanical Garden, and you can ignore these attractions when you go to the Botanical Garden. This is the real plant kingdom. And unlike other scenic spots that are so entertaining, the Botanical Garden can also stay at the Wanglian Hotel, but the environment is not known. Friends who are particularly fond of plants can choose to stay here, and the admission tickets are free! It's just a little lonely at night!

In the afternoon, return to the urban area around 4:00, return to the hotel to pack up, and then take a taxi to Manting Park. The bonfire party starts at 6:30, and you can enter the venue in advance if you book a VIP ticket with a tour guide, and then wander around in Manting Park. Although there are no various performances and programs during the day, but there is an extra tranquility of walking in the garden, which may make you feel refreshed. The bonfire party includes a buffet dinner. The buffet dinner dishes are still very rich. You can eat as you please. You can enter the venue at 7:30 to watch various ethnic performances, which are similar to programs such as Lijiang’s Eternal Love. Lights, and then everyone gathered around the bonfire, dancing, happily ending the party!
Manting Royal Garden
At the end of the party, I saw that the Jiangbian Night Market is nearby. I said that I would go shopping here. As the taxi driver said, the consumption here is really only half of the Gaozhuang Night Market. Note that it is half. Two people eat a barbecue in Gaozhuang It costs about 150, but here it is only about 60, which seems to be less than half. A dozen of oysters cost 39, and a dozen of suede 80. The real difference is that it is cheaper to buy things. Therefore, everyone who travels to Banna recommends that you live in Splashing Square, which is the urban area of Jinghong. The accommodation is relatively cheap in Gaozhuang, and the consumption is also cheaper. Gaozhuang Night Market takes a day and night to take a taxi to go shopping. The Jiangbian Night Market is also very good. , There is also a barbecue street, where locals play. Gaozhuang is a night market built solely for tourists.
Campfire
September 21: Sleep late, go shopping in Baibao Village, go home and live
The trip is coming to an end. In the morning, I was planning to go to Jinuo Village to play. In the end, I got up early for many consecutive days. In addition, the tour guide of Jinuo Village told me to go up the stairs and then come down. He said that it’s okay to go to the bonfire party. went. Decisively took a late sleep until 11 o'clock. Finally, after eating a bowl of local chicken rice noodles in Yunnan, the hotel was sent to the airport. I arrived in Kunming at 4:00 p.m., and then arrived in Chengdu at 8:00 p.m. I would like to remind everyone that if you want to book a connecting flight, you must reserve enough time. I reserved two hours because I have no checked luggage. There is no problem if it is not late, there is still a risk. If you are connecting, it is best to buy the same airline or a shared airline, because you don’t have to pick up your checked luggage.
Go home and eat a Chengdu barbecue, and end the trip happily!
END
This is my first time writing a travel guide. I used to think it was an easy thing to do, but I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome. It took me several days to finish it. I hope it is helpful to everyone. If you have any questions about traveling in Yunnan, please leave a message and ask me!
