The northern line has already passed, so I have been thinking about going to Banna once, and then I asked my girlfriends to take a super relaxing snail trip: Our aim is to never be in a hurry!
(I have always felt that the various service chains of the tourism industry in Yunnan are deceitful, and the service attitude is not good. However, this trip has made me a huge change, and I will talk about it later~)
Notice: I am eating the essence, and I will gain 5 catties in 11 days during this trip. . . A foodie doesn't know how to deal with it. . . Abandon treatment

12-21 CZ6175 10:40-12:55 Chongqing to Xishuangbanna
I booked the Q Plus Mandala Hotel in advance, because I didn’t know the distance from the airport to the hotel, and I was cheated by various car drivers in Yunnan, so I insisted on booking a hotel that can pick up the airport for free. The hotel is in Gaozhuang Shuangjing, super close to Gaozhuang Night Market and Jiangbian Night Market, about 5 minutes walk, and not on the side of the main road, quieter than other hotels. In addition, the rice noodles for breakfast at the hotel are really delicious. My friend and I ate 2 servings of rice noodles + eggs each on the first morning. When the young lady in the kitchen saw us in the next two days, she told the aunt who cooked the rice noodles that this is 2 Personally, a bowl is not enough T_T... , I need to add a serving of rice noodles and vegetables, hahaha. The rice noodles are very soft and Q, and the seasonings added are very fresh. You can add seasonings in the kitchen~ Recommended special black bean sauce + a little soy sauce and vinegar
Picture of the hotel: the decoration style is quite unique, the hanging basket on the balcony is super comfortable, and there is a small yard in the breakfast room
About 230CNY per night for a standard room, it is recommended to live on a higher floor
I went to the hotel to put down my things at about 2 o'clock. I threw down my things and prepared to go out for a walk. I couldn't waste an afternoon, so I chose Manting Park, which is closer to the city. The hotel driver was not there, so I went to the road and waved casually. I got a ride, and the 10 yuan package was delivered. The majority of people in Banna are participants in the tourism industry, so they will want to help you buy tickets, which are usually a few dollars cheaper than buying tickets for the scenic spots themselves. If your driver can be cheaper than this price, please agree readily ~Manual smile one :) . To be honest, the people here are really nice! +1+1!
Manting Park
Because it is only in the afternoon, the sun is a bit westward, but it is still very sunny, please prepare a hat and sunscreen. There are QR code audio guides everywhere in the park, great!
There are performances in the park in the afternoon and evening, but I and my friends don't want to see the performance of the elephant being lectured, so I gave up and went to the park for a few hours.
If you go early, you can rent a famous family to assemble and take pictures. Many young ladies with good figures are so beautiful! The skin does not need to be too white, the natural light here is already super good!
In the picture above, I didn’t bring a camera on this trip, so I took pictures with my mobile phone throughout the trip. Let’s see it later.
show a little face
After shopping, I bought fresh-cut fruits in the small supermarket at the door. It was so cheap that I cried. I doubted the pace of RMB appreciation. I went to RT-Mart to buy dry food for the Chinese Academy of Sciences the next day. Go back to the hotel to add some clothes, the temperature difference between morning and evening is still a bit big.
Because the hotel is close, I planned to go to the Xingguang Night Market in the evening, and then asked passers-by while looking for the night market, and found that it was right in front of me.
Passing by the fruit shop is really insightful, there are all kinds of weird fruits, and I approached a young lady who is a fruit shop clerk and asked us where we are going. Then she quietly introduced to my little friend that the barbecue at the Xingguang Night Market is expensive, it is better to go to the place where the locals eat, and then introduced the barbecue night market at Mandou to us.
Let me post a picture of the fruit first, and the young lady said that it is recommended to go to the vegetable market to buy it, because their store is too expensive. It happened that the egg fruit was ripe in the past season, it was very fragrant and delicious, and the second picture was egg fruit.
The normal price is only 5-8 yuan per catty depending on the appearance.
Then we went to Xingguang Night Market to look around, and sure enough, everything is quite expensive, a grilled fish costs 35RMB. Then we headed towards Mandou and walked for about 5 minutes, but we had to cross a somewhat dark road, because we took a detour. In fact, it is closer to take the main road. It is recommended to ask the locals how to get there.
Then the most delicious barbecue came. It was so delicious that I ate it for 3 days without covering my face. . .
It's really a place for locals to eat barbecue. The decoration of the venue is very ordinary, and I almost missed it. After coming back for a few months, I kept this picture for uploading, haha, pay attention to the name of the store.
There are 35 pieces of grilled fish in the night market, and 15 pieces of grilled fish here. . . The other dishes are 1/2 or 1/3 of the price of the night market. It looks cleaner than the crowded environment of the night market. The food is basically local people, and there are also special ones like ours. , It’s only 50-60 yuan for a full table, and the most meal is 75 yuan for 2 people, so I can’t walk. . .
The proprietress is very nice and went early the next day, just at six o'clock. The owner's family is having dinner, and the owner's wife put on a beautiful make-up for dinner, and she said that she should be worthy of the guests, haha. The beef noodle next door to the BBQ is great too! When I went to eat the next day, the boss next door said, little girl, did you come here yesterday? It seems that you have a good appetite. Yesterday I ate at one table, and today is another table. . . The couple eating beef noodles next door also said: Yes, we also ate barbecue yesterday, sitting at the table behind you. Wherever foodies go, they are so eye-catching, haha. The proprietress told us directly, wait and reserve a table for you. It was only later that we realized that because we ordered too much, others couldn't fit it. . . Can't fit. . . You must eat their hot and sour dipping sauce. I am a Chongqing native who grew up eating spicy hot pot. It is so spicy that the beef is full of noodles. . .
12-22 Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden
In the Ctrip tour guide group, I made an appointment with a couple who came from Jiangxi, and they carpooled to go there together. The fare is 200RMB, 50 for a package transfer, 1.5 hours one way. The driver is sent there and waits at the door for a day, and then picks it up. The bus is basically at this price, it seems that the round trip is 60 yuan per person. It is more convenient to charter a car. There are really all kinds of weird plants that you have never seen before, but there is nothing to eat and drink inside, so you have to bring your own dry food. If you only walk, you will have to walk to the West Garden for a day, and the East Garden is too far away. If you want to go to the East Garden, take a tour bus or go there earlier. Because I wanted to see every garden, I chose to walk. After a day of walking, I am really glad that I ate 2 servings of rice noodles + fried eggs in the morning, otherwise I would starve to death inside. When walking, remember to be optimistic about the route of the park in advance to avoid wasting energy by taking detours.
Just a few pictures, no spoilers.
On the return journey, we will pass by the rest stop. There are many fruit buyers, which are super cheap. It is much cheaper than in the urban area, you can taste it casually and then buy it, and you can negotiate the price.
After eating barbecue in the evening, I went to the Jiangbian night market near the hotel. There happened to be a singer passing by and sang there. I sat on the stone steps and listened to the music. Praise!
Seaweed House Band~~~
12-23 General Foshan
I originally expected to go to the National Museum first, but it happened to be closed. I had no choice but to go to the Buddhist temple first, climb the mountain first, and then watch the performance. Folklore performances are average. The best thing is watching peacocks and feeding peacocks. There is 10 yuan a pack of feed. No one will care when you come out. You can stay for half a day just playing with peacocks inside. It’s true to see it up close. Super beautiful.
The Buddhist temple came out to find a place to have dinner, and then asked the taxi driver where there was a special recommendation. As a result, the little brother took us to a restaurant opened by a fellow in Chongqing, whose name I forgot. The pineapple rice is really delicious, probably because the pineapple itself is fragrant and sweet. I made an appointment to have dinner and my brother came to pick us up, but it turned out that my brother had already handed over his shift, and then he drove his private car all the way to pick us up back to the hotel. There was a traffic jam on the road and we chatted, and the fare was not charged, and we were sent to the night market by the river. If anyone wants this little brother on WeChat, send me a private message, hahaha!
12-24 Xishuangbanna - Jianshui
Because there are no buses or high-speed rails, we can only carpool, and we booked a 320/person car on Ctrip. The driver is very nice, he gave us traffic advice for the following route, and also recommended us the chartered driver from Jianshui to Mengzi. Most importantly, he recommended the most delicious snack bar in Jianshui to us! ! ! It is the rhythm of eating 2 meals a day. The Lin'an Story Inn in Jianshui was booked in advance. The day of check-in was Christmas Eve, and the hotel prepared X'mas gifts.
The miscellaneous sauce rice noodles in the hotel morning are also delicious, a big bowl every morning, haha. But cook it yourself. The interior decoration of the hotel is also very ancient and very beautiful, but the sanitation and other conditions are incomparable with Banna. Standard room 178/night.
The key point of Jianshui came, because the road from Banna to Jianshui was about 6-7 hours, and I didn't stop for lunch at noon. Across the road from the inn, there is a snack bar recommended by the driver. It is really super cheap and delicious. Where can I find a bowl of cold rice noodles for 2 yuan? For 2 people, each meal will cost 30-40 yuan, and the meat and vegetables are a few yuan per serving. It is recommended to eat together with rose brown sugar glutinous rice balls and frozen rice wine.
just look at the picture. Snack bar Earth tile house, the store door is very narrow, and the first floor is also with the kitchen, which is relatively small. But the wooden attic on the second floor is very comfortable, many couples also come here to eat, and there are many lazy cats basking in the sun here, you can pet cats.
After dinner, go to Zhu's Garden.
Here are some pictures, no spoilers. In short, the carved beams and painted columns, with nine twists and turns, are worth looking at carefully.
After the swim, go to the legendary Xiangmanlou for dinner. Maybe the ordering skills are not good enough, and it is the worst meal. The legendary steam pot chicken. . . Well, it's hard to say
12-25 Jianshui Small Train - Tuanshan Residential Houses
You can ask the front desk of the inn to help you book small train tickets in advance. Generally, you have to book one day in advance for the next day. The space is limited, so you need to book in advance. About 100CNY/person. It happened to be the season to eat strawberries when I went there. There are three small boxes for 10 yuan, and the small ones are very sweet. You can also pick them in the field for 20 yuan a catty. I bought 6 boxes to eat with my friends. There are no shops on the road, so I need to bring some dry food and water.
There are several scenic spots on the small train road where you can get off and take pictures, but the time is a bit tight, and the tour guides pass by while walking and talking. Interested spots can be revisited by themselves. The folk houses are buildings in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but most of them look a bit dilapidated due to disrepair.
12-26 Examination Court (also called Confucian Temple) Museum Dashui Well
The scenic spot is on the street of the inn, about 50 meters away. It introduces the history of the Jianshui Imperial Examination and exhibits various four treasures of the study of the Qing Dynasty, especially various inks, which are highly skilled and very delicate. It is really shocking to read. More beautiful and delicate than makeup powder palette.
last few pictures
Dashuijing Local people have tap water, but nearby people like to come here to fetch water for drinking, especially those who make Jianshui tofu, and there is a tofu workshop next to it.
In the afternoon, go back to the hotel near the earth tile house and take a car to Mengzi. Because Mengzi was young, I didn't make a strategy in advance. I wanted to live near Nanhu Park, but the master said that it was inconvenient to live and eat near Nanhu, so I put it on the hotel street. There are really several streets full of hotels here. . . I stayed in a hotel on the side of the road, the standard room was 78CNY a night, and it was cheaper than a youth hostel for 2 people.
The restaurant opened by the locals on the side of the road had dinner-Lvchun Hani flavor. There was a problem with language communication, and the boss said that there was no menu, which made people very confused. . . In the end, I spent 10 minutes looking at the materials in the refrigerator and ordered three dishes. A bit pricey but the taste is really good, especially the bacon. The two young ladies who shared the table recommended the Tianyuan Hotel, a hotel where they can eat Mengzi Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles in the morning.
For dinner, I will definitely take pictures of what I ate. After eating, my friends praised me for ordering too well, haha
The rice noodles of Tianyuan Hotel are sold in the entire lobby, 15 yuan for a large bowl, I have eaten at several restaurants, and this one tastes the best and the service is good.
After eating the rice noodle, I took a taxi to Bisezhai, and I chartered a 100CNY bag to pick it up. The driver waited nearby for another day after delivering it. I feel that the drivers here are doing one order and one order. I didn't run orders for several hours in between, just waited. It was raining when I went there. I thought it was cold and didn't want to change into military uniforms to take pictures, but after wearing them, it was not cold anymore. I took a lot of photos with the guy, and both of them were very satisfied, hahaha.
There is a vegetable market near the hotel. Buy vegetables and fruits together. It happens to be the season when Mengzi pipas are ripe. The local pipas in Mengzi are small and small, 5-6 yuan a catty. I eat 5 catties a day with my friends, and leave Mengzi At that time, I went to buy 5 catties to take to Fuxian Lake.
12-28 Southwest Associated University Site + Nanhu Park
The site of Southwest Associated University is right next to Nanhu Park. Unfortunately, we had to go to Yuxi that day and didn't have time to visit Nanhu Park.
The site of the United Nations University is very rich in content. Looking at the coquettish history of modern literati, I forgot to take pictures.
In the afternoon, take the high-speed train to Yuxi. After arriving in Yuxi City, take another flat car to Fuxian Lake, about 5-6 hours by car. The one who took the order was a little brother who was studying in college, um, the sun in Yunnan makes people look more vicissitudes. I checked the hotel on the Internet a few days in advance, and chose the side of Lixing Zhuangzi, which is closer to the lake. The name of the inn is Lixing Yuzhuang, really! ! ! The inn opened the door and stepped on the lake so close. Accommodation in the off-season is also relatively cheap. The standard room is 178 for one night. The side facing the lake is a full glass wall. You can lie on the bed and watch the sunrise every day. But it is a pity that the inn converted from the local residents' housing will soon be demolished due to water source protection, and there will be no houses so close to the lake in the future.
After arriving at the store, the boss made dinner immediately. The special potato rice and whitebait cakes are indeed better than those eaten in restaurants outside in the next two days, especially the potato rice.
The potato rice that was specially recommended in the hotel guide recommended by others is really delicious.
12-29 Beacon Mountain Scenic Area
I got up in the morning to eat rice noodles cooked by the boss's mother, because there is only one restaurant nearby and there is nothing to eat, so I ate it at the inn. It's just home-cooked.
After dinner, because I was not in a hurry, I didn't take a car to the scenic spot, but walked. Half of the way on the way, I could walk along the lake, blowing the wind, and looking at the clear lake water, which was very comfortable.
You can take the bus around the lake for a few yuan, and there are not many people. Get on the bus and tell the master where you are going, and he will call you when you arrive.
Beacon Mountain Scenic Area can see the other side of the relatively commercial development opposite. Accommodation conditions are relatively good.
The things in the scenic area are really not delicious. After playing, we will have dinner at the hotel and watch the sunset.
12-30 Walk along the lake to the other side. Forgot the name of the attraction. . . I went to some sunny beach by car to see seagulls and go to the island, but I had so much fun feeding the seagulls that I gave up going to the island. The main thing is to see two young ladies pedaling a cruise ship, pedaling out and being blown back by the wind, pedaling out and being blown back again, wandering about 10 meters by the lake for half an hour, laughing to death. So we just spent the whole day by the lake feeding the seagulls and basking in the sun. There are so many seagulls waiting in line to feed you. But be careful not to throw bread into the lake. The lake is the drinking water point for the entire Yuxi City. If you buy a bag and forget to throw it on the beach, the seagulls will fly over by themselves. There are also entertainment tools such as ATVs on the beach that can be played.
When I went back to the inn for dinner at night, I ran into the passer-by who I met when I went out to ask for directions in the morning. It turned out that he was a friend of the innkeeper and lived here, and we happily shared a table for dinner. This friend originally came here on a business trip, and drove back to Kunming by himself the next day, so he took us back to Kunming the next day, which was so lucky. The next day after this friend took me to Kunming, he even sent us to Wal-Mart to buy specialty products. It was really nice!
12-31 Fuxian Lake - Kunming - Dianchi Lake
After buying the special products and sending the express delivery, my friend was fascinated by watching the seagulls. In addition, there was enough time for the evening flight, so the two of them dragged their boxes to Dianchi Lake to watch the seagulls. After arriving at Dianchi Lake, I started to feed the seagulls and ride a bicycle after storing my luggage. I was so happy that I completely forgot to take pictures. This time I went to Dianchi Lake and found that it has changed a lot compared to the one I went a few years ago. At least the bicycle lanes are well repaired. happy.
Dianchi Lake was taken on the bicycle path
After getting out of Dianchi Lake, I went to the nearby subway station by car. There is actually a newly opened ancient town near the subway station. There are so many snacks. I had another big meal before leaving.
But strawberries are expensive here, but fortunately they eat a lot in Mengzi, haha.
12-31 MU5472 21:00 - 22:40 Kunming - Chongqing Go home Gain from this trip: Gain 5 catties! just sauce
