I have been to Yunnan no less than ten times, most of which are self-driving tours. I didn't plan to go to Yunnan during the Spring Festival this year, because I went to Yunnan for a self-driving tour during the National Day and the Spring Festival the year before last. However, after checking the weather forecast for 15 days, I found that it was raining or cloudy all over the south this year, and only Yunnan was sunny. A while ago, I suffered from the loss of traveling in rainy days, so I had to find a place to play in central and southern Yunnan where it doesn't rain.
I have been to Tengchong, Xishuangbanna, Lijiang, Chuxiong, and Kunming in Yunnan. This time, if I want to go, I will not go so far. I will go to Honghe Prefecture, Jianshui, and Fuxian Lake. In the past, I have passed by these places a lot. This time I hope to take a deep tour.
At noon on the first day of the new year, we started our self-driving tour from Nanning. There were very few cars on the expressway. We entered a few service stations along the way and found that there were very few cars. It was really unexpected. Many people travel at this time in the past. Our illusion was that there were not many people on this line, but in fact, we later found that it was very difficult to find hotels in Jianshui and Shiping.
It was already evening when we arrived in Mengzi. After walking around the new area for several times and asking a few people, we finally found a home-cooked restaurant for dinner. The boss especially recommends the local dishes "Soy Sauce Chicken" and "Small Stir-Fried Beef". Of course I want to eat special dishes, so I ordered them, plus a mapo tofu and green vegetables. The soy sauce chicken in Guangdong and Guangxi is golden in color, and the chicken skin is the color of cooking in soy sauce. It is a traditional Cantonese dish. Mengzi's soy sauce chicken is completely different. It is white-cut chicken with soy sauce, fresh and dried chilies. This method makes the chicken bright in color, tender and tender, and has its own unique taste. The stir-fried beef is minced beef, fried with mint and other ingredients, the taste is very unique, some people may not be used to it, but I think it is not bad, it is indeed very special.

In the Baise service area in the afternoon of the first day of the new year, there are few people and cars

When we arrived at the Zhujie service area in Yunnan, there were very few people and cars.
