Go to Yunnan for a vacation

As soon as this season comes, my heart is itchy and I want to let go! Even though I am at home, I still want to stay in a different environment and space for a while after half a year of this two-point-one-line life. I want to be purely unrestrained, and I want to do what I want from the bottom of my heart!

I invited my classmate and girlfriend to accompany me on this journey. She wanted to go to a cool place. After a simple screening, I quickly determined the target as Yunnan again. After some deliberation, the itinerary was finally determined to be Fuxian Lake-- Shuhe - Shangri-La - Shuhe.
The first day: Depart from Yibin by train (soft sleeper) at 3:10 pm on June 1st, and arrive at Kunming Station at 5:30 am on June 2nd. From the railway station directly to the Luchong Scenic Area Inn, the fare is 220 yuan). You can also walk for 3 minutes after getting off the train, take the C71 bus at Yongsheng Road bus station to Xinluosiwan, get off the bus and walk for 3 minutes to the South Bus Terminal, take the passenger bus to Chengjiang County, and then transfer to The bus in Luchong Village only cost more than 30 yuan in total), the boss drove us to the first stop of the journey at 7:10 - Fuxian Lake Luchong Scenic Area. At our request, the boss helped us We escaped the tickets (15 yuan per person), haha, a small achievement.

Day 2: After putting down our luggage and washing up briefly, we couldn’t wait to go to the lake and enjoy the legendary scenery of Fuxian Lake, which is vast, clear and quiet, with a distance of more than 100 kilometers around the lake. Compared with the romantic, sentimental, gentle and beautiful Lugu Lake, Fuxian Lake is reserved, honest and masculine. Lugu Lake is a little girl, and Fuxian Lake is a man!

Ha ha! Tease it, can't help but say it! Who would have thought that as soon as his feet stretched out, he could not help shouting! cold! Good guy, let's get off the horse, ignore it, jump directly, play wantonly, and get used to it after a while. I don't know if I got used to it or it accepted me. Anyway, it is harmonious and happy. The lake is crystal clear, and the cheerful anti-wave fish swims up and down my feet. The pebbles lying in the water are colorful and varied. When I walk in the lake with my bare feet, the soles of my feet are painfully poked by the pebbles. I couldn't help screaming, but I still persisted in moving forward, reluctant to leave the water, playing in the water, catching fish, picking up stones, etc., releasing the joy of the caged bird to my heart's content. It is off-season, not too many tourists, but there are not many, everyone either takes a boat, or swims, or walks around the lake, or sits quietly by the lake, and there are many young parents holding small net bags with their children chasing fish and shrimp I feel that everyone is so leisurely and comfortable, enjoying the beautiful nature to the fullest. Looking around, Bijia Mountain is quietly leaning against the west bank of the lake, with three peaks standing like a pen holder, hence the name. The mountain is not high, but it is ancient and vicissitudes. It is vertical to the lake, and it looks steep. Various unknown vines hang on the cliff, intertwined, vigorous and powerful, and people have the urge to climb up the rock with them. The ancient trees by the lake are verdant, each with its own strange shape, and the unknown wild flowers exude a faint fragrance. A long stone path opened from the foot of the mountain winds along the lake, and it becomes a beautiful picture with a mobile phone. picture!

There are only two or three narrow streets in the small town of Luchong on the shore of the lake. It is mainly engaged in catering, and the other is lotus root noodles. The only way to buy fruit is to go to the vegetable market at the east end of the town every morning, and there are very few varieties of fruits. Basically, it is between apples and bananas. class, with little choice. The rest of the time, the street is deserted, with only tourists in twos and threes or residents sitting in front of their homes to enjoy the cool air, not as strong a commercial atmosphere as imagined. Even our 24-hour pharmacies close at 5 pm, and clinics close at 5 pm. According to the innkeeper, people here eat two meals a day (breakfast around 10 am and dinner around 5 pm), get up late in the morning and finish work early in the afternoon. I feel that the people here do not have high requirements for life, just enough food, clothing and comfort. In the evening, accompanied by the beautiful sunset, I walked around the street at random, and stopped in front of a row of old houses that were being demolished. There are some wooden sticks and other sundries scattered all over the place. In such a depressed and chaotic place, I actually saw a group of old people (at least 10 or more) gathered there. They wore old black or dark blue clothes. There are turbans on their heads (they should all belong to ethnic minorities), some are sitting on the threshold, some are sitting on debris, and some are leaning against the wall. They are either smoking dry tobacco, shaking cattail fans, or quietly Looking at the street, a special landscape is formed.


The most conspicuous thing on the street is the restaurant, the signboard is very attractive, such as stone pot fish, copper pot rice, radish shredded meat, paste spicy fish, etc. The pictures are very eye-catching. We tasted it in the inn where we stayed. There are 3 specialties. I only think the copper pot rice mixed with potatoes is passable. The shredded radish meat and spicy fish are not tasty. It may be due to regional differences or personal preferences. The lotus root powder is really good, smooth and delicate, and does not need to be pre-adjusted. It can be washed with fresh boiled water and stirred well. I bought two bags and brought it back to the office to share. My colleagues all thought it was good.
Day 3: We took a bus from the starting station of Luchong Village to Cherry Blossom Valley (not directly accessible, we took a special train to Cherry Blossom Valley in Chengjiang County). In fact, there are no cherry blossoms by the lake, and the cherry blossom trees are on the other side of the road. On the hillside, of course, there are no cherry blossoms in this season. Commercial housing is being built on the hillside, named Cherry Blossom Valley. There is a plank road by the lake. The reeds grow luxuriantly along the plank road. There are several grass pavilions and viewing platforms on the lake beach. It is relatively simple, which is equivalent to viewing the lake from a different angle, but we are still in a good mood. Taking pictures while walking along the plank road, wanton self-appreciation, narcissism and narcissism!

The sun was relentless, and the ground temperature in the direct sunlight was close to 30 degrees. We were sweating profusely. We wanted to walk along the lake to Moon Bay Wetland Park. After walking for a while, we felt too hot and uncomfortable, so we didn’t want to go. , I happened to hear from the bus driver in the morning that we could take the bus around the lake to see the panoramic view of the lake, so we temporarily decided to take the bus around the lake instead. There is no standard bus stop over there, and the small parking lot is quite hidden. You can only find out by asking the locals. Under the guidance of a sanitation worker, we waited for the bus around the lake in a shady place by the road. After waiting for a long time, a bus finally came. Lake bus, right? The driver glanced at us, and said slowly, no, the bus around the lake is behind, wait a little longer, cut, let's get off the bus in embarrassment. After about half an hour, it finally arrived, a brand new, clean, bright and air-conditioned bus around the lake, Bashi! After we sat on it for a few stops, there were only four people on the bus including the driver. Haha, it became our special train around the lake! In this way, we took the special train around the lake for more than 2 hours, at a speed of 30 to 40 yards, sightseeing and taking pictures all the way without hindrance, enjoying the panoramic view of Fuxian Lake over 100 kilometers, comfortable and comfortable! Then get off at the inn where we stayed in Lucchong Village, ending a day of pleasant sightseeing.

Day 4: Get up at 4 o'clock in the morning, set off at 5 o'clock, spend 300 yuan to pack the innkeeper's car to Kunming Changshui Airport (I accidentally found a 1.4% discount ticket from Kunming to Lijiang on Ctrip before (no free checked luggage) Service), I bought it for 225 yuan, which is only 5 yuan more expensive than the bullet train, so I took it decisively, let’s talk about checked luggage). When we arrived at the airport, we found out that our two boxes would cost a total of 240 yuan. We couldn’t laugh or cry, we had to obey! Then I thought about it, as my son calculated for me, it was only 345 yuan including the shipping fee, and the mileage of flying more than 70 minutes was really cheap. The plane arrived at Sanya Airport on time, and then enjoyed the pick-up service of Shuhe Shuiyue Yuntian Inn (free single pick-up or single drop-off if you stay for more than 2 nights, and only 80-100 yuan for paid pick-up and drop-off to the airport, Shuhe is only 40 more away from the airport kilometer). When you arrive at the inn, you can arrange the itinerary for the next day's Shangri-La two-day tour at the front desk, that is, simply negotiate the price, and then confirm that it is 600 yuan per person, just send an ID photo and transfer money. Then I went into the room to wash and rest, and went out to find food until after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. For the strategy of living in Shuhe, I had already consulted sister Qiu before going out (Sister Qiu and his wife lived in Shuhe for a week last December), and they already knew everything about food, accommodation and transportation. We went straight to the mixed vegetable restaurant. It really has all kinds of food and beverages, and the taste is good. Although it is a bit expensive, it is still affordable. I didn't eat meat, and I spent more than 70 yuan for two vegetarian dishes, but it was a very comfortable first meal in Shuhe. Afterwards, we looked all the way to the Qinglong Bridge, Jiuding Longtan and other Internet celebrity attractions. After a while, we arrived at the Qinglong Bridge, a small bridge a few meters wide and 10 to 20 meters long, but full of tourists, taking wedding photos. The newcomers hit the heavy platform in threes and fives, and there was almost no chance to monopolize the bridge deck to take pictures. The scattered stones on the bridge deck have been ground like mirrors by their feet, shining brightly under the reflection of the sun! A clear brook gurgled under the bridge, and the willows on the bank of the stream swayed with the wind, setting off the cornices of the ancient buildings. I didn't know where I was in an instant.


Day 5: Departure to Shangri-La at 8 am. We participated in an FIT group, with 11 passengers in a small van, the driver and tour guide, the car was crowded and uncomfortable, so we had to make do with it. I am in a good mood along the way. The long-awaited Tiger Leaping Gorge and the legendary Shangri-La are about to appear in front of me. The beauty in my heart! After driving for more than an hour, we arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area. We walked down more than 300 stone steps of nearly 90 degrees to the viewing platform on the front of the canyon. Looking around, the panorama of Tiger Leaping Gorge came into view. The narrow rocky canyon is deep and steep, and a rush of water rushes down the bottom of the valley. Just as the flow is smooth, a group of boulders protrude, occupying two-thirds of the water flow channel, really blocking the way of the water. , the river roared and slammed into the boulder crazily, and was split into pieces by the boulder in an instant. Huge water splashed everywhere, wet the clothes of tourists, and sent a trace of coolness through the hot air.

Not far from the corner of the canyon, a majestic big stone tiger is dominating, overlooking all this, eager to try, as if it may jump across the river at any time, which is very suitable for the occasion. (Baidu: The origin of the tiger leap is that at the entrance of the Jinsha River upstream, there is a huge stone lying in the middle of the river, and the torrent flows from both sides of the 30-meter-wide huge stone. Relying on the huge rock in the middle of the river to jump to the opposite bank, so it is named Tiger Leaping Gorge.) This is the place where the Yangtze River rafting expedition passed. It is very thrilling. More than ten rafting team members have been buried here. I have followed these stories since I was a teenager, and today I have finally witnessed them on the ground.


After passing the Tiger Leaping Gorge, get in the car and continue on the road. On the way, let the driver take you to a place selling groceries for dinner. There are many people, and they are all brought here in the same way as us. Tour group meals, so I won’t repeat them. After arriving at Pudacuo National Park (the first national park in mainland China) after two o'clock in the afternoon, the first words of many tourists after getting off the bus were exclaimed: blue sky and white clouds! The air is so fresh! We spent nearly 2 hours in the park. Under the beautiful blue sky and white clouds, we walked slowly along the special park plank road. There were grasslands along the way. There were not many grasses, but occasionally we could see dots of stars. Beautiful little wildflowers! There is also the beautiful Shudu Lake. In fact, she is a clear lake, winding along the plank road for several kilometers. When she found that she could not keep up with the pace of tourists, she stopped quietly and quietly watched the tourists go away. , I am in harmony with the ancient trees of the common people. The most prominent scenery is the virgin forest, where all kinds of ancient plants grow tenaciously, and some of them parasitize each other, forming a variety of unique scenery, and I even met a few cute little squirrels!

This journey was a bit tiring, but I felt more refreshed and comfortable, and I took a lot of beautiful photos of green and green! Then drive to the hotel (Yunnan Longfengxiang Hotel, four-star hotel) for dinner and check-in. At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters here, there are some small heights, and the head feels dizzy and painful. The food is definitely not good, but the accommodation is okay. The listed four-star hotel has plenty of hot water. It is very comfortable to take a hot bath and sleep.

Day 6: Being in Shangri-La, I wake up refreshed in the morning, without any high antipathy. This driver (and tour guide) is very rude, deliberately delayed the time, let us have breakfast at 9:30 in the morning, and set off at 10:00, and actually waited until 10:30 to set off, and took us to Napahai Shangri-La Grassland (the name is atmospheric, In fact, it is a bare pasture with no flowers or grass, and occasionally cow dung and sheep dung can be seen.

Said it was a drought, the tender grass hadn’t grown yet), the driver drove us directly from the car into a small room, saying that we should listen to the introduction first, and only after entering did we realize that we were listening to a woman peddling horseback riding. No one in our car rode a horse. The driver didn’t get a kickback. He was upset and wasted our time on purpose. He made us stay here for more than an hour before taking us away to the county seat of Shangri-La (the ancient city of Dukezong) . Against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, the ancient city of Dukezong, which is very ethnic, looks more mysterious and beautiful. Everyone’s eyes are greedily looking around, and the mobile phone camera keeps clicking, but the driver only gave us an hour. This driver really It’s pretty bad, with no professional ethics, maybe because he didn’t ride a horse, he deliberately teased us, and he didn’t let you appreciate what was worth admiring, and a lot of time was wasted by him wantonly. Because the time was too short, the mood was not relaxed, so I just walked around and looked at the Great Buddha Temple (the largest prayer wheel in the world is here, the upper right corner of the picture), and took a few photos. Some aggrieved.

Afterwards, we also had lunch at a place selling various local specialties, and then returned from the trip at one or two o'clock, and returned to Shuhe Inn around 5:00 pm. When we set off the day before yesterday, we packed up our things and put them at the front desk of the inn, and agreed to stay here tonight.

Because the room on the first night was very small and the faucet was broken, I lost my temper with the innkeeper. When I came back today, I was told by the front desk that we would be upgraded to a higher-standard double room on the second floor for free. I was happy and said quickly Thank you, then we will stay here tomorrow night.

Day 7: Get up and have breakfast, and plan to take the bus to Yushui Village after the meal. As a result, we were told by the hotel at breakfast that we were asked to change rooms, saying that the room we are currently living in has been reserved for someone else tonight, and I will go! We washed a lot of clothes and hung them in the room, how is this convenient for moving? ? After complaining to the inn, with the help of the waiter, I had to change the room. After such a toss, it was almost 9 o'clock when I went out, and I finally got on a bus and went to Yushui Village for a stroll. Yushui Village is actually a wetland park.

You can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from afar. After experiencing the grandeur of Pudacuo National Park, I feel that this place is a bit ordinary, and each person is charged 38 yuan for tickets. On the way back, I visited another ancient town, and I even forgot the name, haha. In the evening, I ate a small hot pot, went to Lijiang Old Town for a stroll, and returned to Shuhe to rest.

Day 8: Wake up naturally, pack up, go to the airport, have lunch at a restaurant opened by Fushun people next to the airport (the tofu fish is delicious), and then happily return.

All this trip is planned and executed by me alone. After the basic request that she wants to go to a cool place, I will not participate in the rest of the opinions. I will just follow me obediently and help me carry heavier luggage. Help me take pictures, get along well, cooperate with each other tacitly, I am not picky about food, I am picky, what I choose, what she eats, a very good travel companion! Due to off-season travel, our total expenses for 8 days totaled more than 5,600 yuan (more than 2,800 yuan per person). During the period, we also booked two buses, took two planes and one soft sleeper, which is a good deal! value! Great sense of accomplishment!
After procrastinating for more than 2 months to finish finishing this record, I feel like going out again, hahahahaha.
