Because there are two people traveling, I only made a general plan, thinking about stop and go, and I didn't buy a round-trip ticket, so I was more casual.

The trip officially begins:
November 24
At 22:00, we boarded the flight to Kunming. Because of the nucleic acid screening during the day, we did not do a single-tube nucleic acid test. It turned out that after 7 o’clock in the evening, the nucleic acid results have been ineffective in Tianjin’s digital epidemic prevention. With a feeling of anxiety, Take a taxi to the airport. Chatting with the taxi driver, I learned that you can first check the results of the nucleic acid test of the Jinxin Office, and then check the digital Tianjin nucleic acid certificate, which may be updated, so I hurriedly operated, and a magical thing happened. Our nucleic acid test report will be available in the afternoon Yes, but the digital nucleic acid is not updated. Now through the inspection of the Jinxin Office, the digital nucleic acid is updated. After arriving at the airport, check the health code, itinerary code, and nucleic acid certificate, and arrive at the boarding gate smoothly. The airport is very deserted. The reason for the epidemic and late night! Most of the passengers on the plane are young people, and there are really very few people like us.
November 25
Arrived in Kunming at 1:00 in the morning. After getting off the plane, I was not allowed to stay at the airport at the landing inspection. I applied for the Yunnan Health Mini Program, arrived at the airport hotel smoothly, and rested.
I got up at 8 o'clock in the morning, took a taxi and rushed to Kunming Railway Station. After arriving at the station, I temporarily bought a high-speed rail ticket and arrived in Dali 3 hours later. Outbound nucleic acid testing, no need to stop, go straight to the car rental company.
Car rental still uses our most commonly used "rental" car website. Since we arrived earlier than expected, the car we booked has not returned yet, and the on-site car feels that the tires are overused and unsatisfactory. For this reason, contact the platform to unsubscribe, on the side The car rental company (Harmony + car dealership) rented a satisfactory car and drove straight to Tengchong. Although there were some small episodes, everything went smoothly.
Dali's noon sun shines warmly on the car body, and what I feel in the car is hot and dry. It's winter!
All the way to Tengchong after 4 hours on the expressway. Although it is a high speed, it is also a winding road, and it is difficult to get off the high speed.
On the 25th, we actually did nucleic acid three times. It takes nearly an hour to reach Ginkgo Village on mountain roads and country roads (40 kilometers), and we finally arrived in the evening.
Check-in: Pinxing Time Inn (booked online by Ctrip) (the room is large and the yard is large, but it is squatting, which is a bit troublesome if you are not used to it)
November 26,
Woke up at 7 o'clock in the morning, the sky is still bright. Here is a mountainous area, the daylight is late, the weather is still very cold, you need to wear a thin down jacket. Since Ginkgo biloba is a highly seasonal landscape, based on past experience, there will be a lot of tourists these days.
Ginkgo Village is a quiet and dreamy place in the late autumn of "trees grow in autumn and mountains are cold". It is the largest ginkgo kingdom in the world. In front of and behind the house, yellow leaves are flying, which is extremely beautiful. It can let your soul flow freely among the golden colors. When you walk in it, you will be amazed by the spectacle of the golden trees. The village is golden everywhere, stepping on thick fallen leaves, and the golden autumn has a concrete image.
In the morning, the village is still very quiet. Walking on the small road, you can see that almost every family in the village has a homestay, and the yard with the gate open, tourists can go in to watch and take pictures at will.
The sun rose slowly, and the golden sunlight scattered all over the village. Observe carefully. In the curling smoke, the Tyndall phenomenon can always be seen in the air. We walked excitedly, watched, and the camera left us interested moment. Everything is so beautiful! None of us know what awaits us next.
In Ginkgo Square, we suddenly realized that it is not like the crowds gathered in many guides, but very scattered and very strange. Is it special today? After 10 o'clock, we went back to the hotel for breakfast. Bad news came. All our tourists must leave Tengchong today. Tengchong must be silent! There is nothing more frustrating than traveling all the way here just to see ginkgo and soak in hot springs. Ginkgo only watched for 3 hours, don't think about anything else. The boss drove us to do the nucleic acid test. We bid farewell and drove back to Dali. Arrive in Dali at 4:00 pm.
Check-in: Dali Light Luxury Landscape Beauty Hotel (Rongyaju) (booked on Ctrip) (very close to Sanyue Street, etc. The homestay is far from the road, and it will not be very convenient to drag luggage without a car)

This trip of nearly 800 kilometers took me 3 hours to visit. If I don’t regret it, that’s not the truth.
I went to Dali Ancient City at night and saw the gate of the ancient city. I remembered that I brought my son to Dali to play in the 1990s. At that time, my son was not as tall as me. Now he is the father of two children. What a time! I took a photo outside the gate of the city where we took the photo, and sent it to my son on WeChat, and he replied: I vaguely remember that we took photos here.
November 27, Cangshan in the morning--arrive at Shaxi Ancient Town in the afternoon
Cangshan snow is the symbol of Dali. Generally, if you look at Cangshan from a distance, there are not many tourists who actually climb it. On the contrary, many locals go there. There is no snow in Cangshan now. Temporarily consult the information, Cangshan is a national geological park, there are three cableways: Ximatan cableway, Gantong cableway, Zhonghe cableway. Ximatan is too high, medium and too short. We chose the Gantong Cableway.
There is no cableway for tourists, so there is no need to queue. You can see the Erhai Lake on the cableway. After reaching the end point, continue to climb the mountain to see Zhenlong Chess Game, Qingbi River, and finally reach the viewing platform of Cangshan Grand Canyon. Then start to choose the downhill road. You can do the ropeway down the mountain or walk. There are also two options for walking. One is to go back to Zhenlong Chess Game and then go down the mountain, arrive at Jizhao Nunnery, and then go to Gantong Temple; the other way is to take Yudai Road first and then go down the mountain. way down the mountain on foot.
Along the way, the brook is gurgling and the trees are shaded. Because we walked a long section of the canyon road, we can still persist in physical strength. During the walking and patting, time passed quickly, and we did not catch up with the fasting meal at Jizhao Temple. ! There are more succulents in the nunnery than I have ever seen. After drinking a pot of tea in the nunnery, continue down the mountain to Gantong Temple. Today's Cangshan tour is over. Cableway and tickets: 85 yuan/person, the cost of tickets is rarely spent on this trip.
Seeing that the time was still at noon, we temporarily decided to go to Shaxi Ancient Town. The understanding of Shaxi Ancient Town comes from a photo. Although I know that the photo has gone through a later stage, I am still shocked and want to see for myself what it looks like.
When refueling at the gas station, there happened to be Mai=Law, so I bought a portion for two, and settled for lunch while driving on the road. After three hours, arrive at Shaxi Ancient Town.
Shaxi Ancient Town is located in the mirror of Jianchuan between Dali and Lijiang. It is not easy to drive from Dali. Not long after we left Dali, we had to pass through a village. The road was very narrow, which made people wonder if we had made a mistake. After following the navigation and passing through the village, we started on the winding mountain road. The road is narrow, the bay is very fast, and the light just shines in front, which is very dazzling. After crossing this mountain, there is still a village path. Many roads are still being repaired on the way, and the dust is flying all the way. We arrived at the ancient town of Shaxi in the sky full of loess! The road close to the ancient town has become better and there is no dust. It may be because it is not easy to reach, so it can be preserved.
Xu Xiake once described Shaxi as a land rich in rice valleys. The ancient town of Shaxi belongs to Jianchuan, which is an important node of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. Shaxi is the only ancient market on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. In a noisy place, caravan merchants flock in an endless stream, but now it's quiet, in the mountains! It has become a holy place for many travelers to be in a daze.
And the photo that attracted me was the Heihui River next to the ancient town of Shaxi. In the evening we hurried to Heihui River, but we still haven't caught up with the afterglow of the setting sun.
Walking on the secluded roads of the ancient town, eating has become the first priority. We found a mushroom pot shabu-shabu and ate it in full swing. I felt a little tired from the continuous rush and climbed the mountain, so I rested early, and I want to see the scenery that brought me tomorrow.
In the evening, the queue was quite long for nucleic acid testing.
Stay: 97th Covenant Inn (online booking with Ctrip) The boss is a very literary girl
November 28 Shaxi Ancient Town
In the early morning, the sky was slightly white, so we got up and rushed to the Heihui River. On the Yudai Bridge, seeing the morning mist, the sun slowly rising, the sun shining on the river bank and trees, the scenery is really indescribable, we really have to use our eyes to see it, and instantly feel that the hard work all the way is worth it of.

The 100-year-old Yujin Bridge
Hang out in Shaxi Ancient Town during the day, eat and sleep! In the afternoon, according to the introduction of the homestay owner, I went to Pioneer Bookstore. This is the second Pioneer bookstore we went to. Pioneer bookstores are usually opened in remote villages. The bookstores have their own characteristics. After reading books and drinking local coffee in Yunnan, I feel a little sour. It passed leisurely.
Before leaving Shaxi, I saw that there was no nucleic acid, so I did nucleic acid again.
The big stage in Shaxi Ancient Town
November 29 Shaxi Ancient Town--Erhai Sea Tongue Park (Zhoucheng)
Coming back from Shaxi Ancient Town, I originally planned to stay in Xizhou Ancient Town for one night. I drove around Xizhou and felt that the accommodation was not satisfactory. I simply clicked on Erhai Lake in the navigation and took us to a natural village. I didn’t live there. So I ordered a place near Haitong Park, and there really was a B&B. This is good during the epidemic, there are few people, and there will be no place to live. I found a homestay on the Erhai Lake. The room was small, but I could see the sunrise from the room. I didn’t want to run anymore, so I stayed here.
After a short rest, he went directly to Zhoucheng. Zhoucheng is very small, there is only one street, and the whole street is tie-dye, and many shops can experience it. We chose to go to the tie-dye museum to see the history of tie-dye. We didn’t expect that there is also an experience center in the museum. The price may be more expensive, but we didn’t have to run any more. We made a free tie-dye tablecloth. The tie-dye master taught me how to roll the cloth, tie the cloth, and sew with a needle. After the production was completed, I put natural Radix Radix for dyeing, rinsed, removed the stitches, rinsed again, and finally dried.
A unique tablecloth with free imagination was presented in front of us. We were delighted and also felt amazing. Although most of it was done by the elder sister of the master, I was full of sense of accomplishment. I will do it again if I have a chance, and I will do it all by myself next time!
Back to Erhai Lake in the evening, Haitong Park is under maintenance, we did not go inside, walked around Erhai Lake, and found that this area is very primitive, with relatively few artificial traces, trees, wetlands, and seagulls are all very original, only long and winding Looking at the winding ecological corridor, we can see the artificial traces. Some people are riding bicycles leisurely on the corridor, and everything is very quiet. After night falls, the surroundings are relatively dark.
November 30 Haitong Park - Shuanglang
After watching the sunrise, go to Xizhou Ancient Town and drive for ten minutes to arrive. Xizhou and Zhou Cheng are on both sides of the road, very close to each other. In Xizhou in winter, there is no sea of flowers in spring, rice fields in summer, or golden colors in autumn, so there is not a lot of scenery. Walking around the ancient city, visiting a few houses, drinking coffee and eating cheesecake, it seems that there is nothing to visit. up! Decisively decided to go to Shuanglang.
The corner building of the Internet celebrity, also took a picture
Streets of Xizhou
There are not many tourists, many of them are closed
It took more than an hour to arrive at Shuanglang, and the weather was really hot. Husband went to Erhai Lake to find accommodation under the sun.
This time I did not book a room online. When my husband came back, we checked in directly.
There is no parking space for the B&Bs on the Erhai Sea. They are unified in the parking lot. The parking fee is very expensive, more than 50 yuan a night, close to 60 yuan. It seems that you still need a parking space when you stay in the future.
A small fishing village on the east coast of Shuanglang Erhai Lake, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it is very quiet. Shuanglang is also a must-pass on the Southern Silk Road. The streets and alleys inlaid with cobblestones and bluestone slabs are vicissitudes and clear. It is hard to tell whether it has been washed by sea water or the West City over the years. Low, the stone corner is high, and it is low-key and stubborn to accompany it.
Many alleys in Shuanglang lead directly to the sea, which is very artistic. Everyone has a different feeling of playing, and their favorite places are also different, but it is hard not to fall in love with Shuanglang. It is a mature resort, with architectural styles and methods in line with international standards, much like a foreign resort! The coastal scenery is pleasant, food and accommodation are convenient, and there are relatively more tourists here during special periods.
Reminder: To visit Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace in Shuanglang, you need to make an appointment in advance. We ignored it. When we remembered, the reservation quota for the next day was already full, so we didn't go to visit.
Before dinner, I quickly did a nucleic acid test.
On the road in the ancient town, I saw a beautiful flower. I took a photo with it, but when I got home and watched the documentary, it turned out to be a mandala flower. It has an anesthetic effect. Don’t touch it lightly, my God!
Stay: Waiting for the Wind Inn (On the Erhai Lake, you can see Nanzhao Island from the balcony, and the breakfast provided is good)
December 1 Shuanglang--Haidong Highway--Dali
Today, I started to circle the sea. I bought a ticket to go to Nanzhao Customs Island in the morning. The ticket office told me that in December Dali Prefecture attractions are free of charge for tourists from Tianjin. Nanzhao Style Island, take a ferry from Shuanglang, the island is very small, it doesn’t take much time to go around, the scenery is still good, take pictures, and get off the island after 10 o’clock. After thinking about what to do, I also went shopping, and after I went to do nucleic acid, I drove away from Shuanglang and started the trip on Haidong Highway.
Nanzhao Customs Island
It is recommended to play clockwise when visiting Erhai Lake, so that parking is smooth and you don't have to cross the road often.
The first stop on Haidong Road went to the Internet celebrity spot, an abandoned wall. It's actually pretty hard to find. We first saw Luwo Mountain indicating that there is a Guanyin Temple, got off the car and climbed up to see it, no, but the scenery is good.
Drive on and see a small coffee vendor on the side of the road. Drive along the road and pass the vendor’s stall, turn right, and then drive for about 50 meters. When you see the gap in the highway fence, go down. The road is very steep. Walk for a while. After a while, you will see the abandoned wall, and then you will find a cave and a lone tree when you walk in. The scenery here is unique! We caught up with clouds in the sky, and the photo was like a set.
The second stop is to dig color pier, messy trees, leisurely locals!
The third stop is Little Putuo, where the seagulls are flying, and it cost us 10 yuan to park, but we didn’t stop for 15 minutes in total. If you look at it from a distance, the scenic spots are a bit pitted. I bought snacks, so I didn't eat at noon.
photo here
The fourth stop: Luoquan Peninsula
Haidong Road is very similar to the Great Ocean Road in Australia
The fifth stop is Santorini in Dali. This is the most deceitful trip in this trip. Don’t look at other people’s guides who say it’s like Santorini. This is just a hotel, and the hotel must keep the privacy of the guests staying. Therefore, don't treat it as a tourist attraction. All the facilities are open to guests, not tourists, so you either stay here or you don't.
I originally planned to stay at Jinsuo Island for one night, but because the fifth stop was very disruptive, and Jinsuo Island had to go to the island by boat, and the car had to stay on the other side. It happened that a traveler had been in Dali for many days, so I simply went to her place. I went to the place, and it was very pleasant to have dinner and chat at night.
Stay: Dali Yixiangqiuju Inn (the cheapest inn on this trip is 72 yuan/night, just on the side of the road, very convenient)
December 2nd ---December 3rd Dali -- Weishan Ancient City -- Wuliang Mountain -- Dali
After more than an hour on the mountain road, we arrived at the ancient city of Weishan. The ancient city of Weishan is the birthplace of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and it is even more primitive here. The local saying goes: eat in Weishan, play in Dali. Sure enough, I ate their rice cakes, boiled sweet peanuts and drank roasted tea, all very good. One noodle for lunch is one noodle in a bowl, and one noodle in a pot. It tastes very good. Walking on the street, volunteers on the street reminded us to wear masks, because the epidemic has become serious recently.
Seeing the detection point, I did the detection by the way. Since I came to Yunnan, I have been tested almost every day to facilitate accommodation and sightseeing. Most accommodations require 48 hours of nucleic acid.
From the ancient city of Weishan, take the expressway all the way, and get off the expressway at the exit of Wuliangshan Cherry Blossom Valley, which takes more than an hour. Arrive at Observation Deck 1. The Cherry Blossom Valley viewing platform should be precisely the No. 1 scenic spot, with a large area, and there are many roads to reach different viewing platforms, and the No. 2 viewing platform is included in this photo. This photo is the distant view of the No. 2 scenic spot taken in the No. 1 scenic spot.
After arriving at Scenic Spot No. 1 in the afternoon, you can walk around and take pictures to get familiar with the terrain for the next morning.
We set off early in the morning on December 3, and went to scenic spot No. 1 to take pictures of the sea of clouds and the sunrise. After arriving at the scenic spot, walk along the road until you see a row of public buildings, then go up the mountain to the left and back. There is a homestay called "Photography House" on the mountain. It is the best place to take pictures of the sea of clouds, and there is a viewing platform. Because we searched for a long time, we did not take pictures of the sunrise, but took pictures of the sea of clouds! Against the background of the morning light, the cherry blossoms in the morning are very different from the colors seen during the day!
After taking pictures of the sea of clouds, the cherry blossoms photographed on the road are already close to the normal color during the day!
The petals of cherry blossoms in Sakura Valley are unique, and they are very different from Japanese cherry blossoms. The petals are denser and more colorful.
In scenic spot No. 2, the tea trees are more regular. If you like to take pictures of people and the scenery of tea gardens, you should prefer scenic spot No. 2.
What is very regrettable is that the photos my husband took on the second day of Cherry Blossom Valley were lost after returning, and I can't find them no matter what. The analysis may be that when we imported the camera photos into the computer, we went out and unplugged the power card, which caused the photos to not be imported completely, and when we came back, we thought the photos had been imported and formatted the camera memory. Now these early morning photos are all taken by me. Every time I think about it, it hurts my heart. After traveling for so many years, this is the first time I made such a big mistake.
This winter I chose to go to Yunnan, mainly to see ginkgo and cherry blossoms. The seasonal landscape is very strong. The sky is not beautiful. The ginkgo is the epidemic that made us leave in a hurry, and the cherry blossom valley is our careless loss of precious photos.
The accommodation in Cherry Blossom Valley is very difficult. There is a homestay in the scenic spot where you can shoot the sea of clouds, and there is a homestay on the way to No. 2 scenic spot. The rest will have to go down the mountain to have a place to live.
December 3-5 Cherry Blossom Valley--Dali--Erhai Cai Village
Back to Dali from Wuliang Mountain, return the car, take a taxi to Caicun, and stay at Erhai Lake.
The Westward Journey to Erhai Lake officially begins.
There is still a big gap between the scenery of Haixi and Haidong. First, the way to play: Haidong is driven, and the Haixi Ecological Corridor can only be walked and cycled; On one side is the village, on the other side is the wetland and then the sea. Therefore, Haixi is beautiful and Haidong is magnificent.
We chose to rent a car to play, because we live in Caicun, and we plan to ride 16.8 kilometers in the direction of the covered bridge, and the return is 33.6 kilometers. Rent a car for 10 yuan/car, 20 yuan/car, you can play for a day, start after breakfast (after 9 o'clock), and return to Caicun after 4 pm, which lasted 7 hours. We stopped and went and had lunch in Fenxi Village at noon, and we were not particularly tired. The next day I went to Longkan Wharf again.
We stopped in almost every village and seaside. The scenery of the wetland and the Erhai Lake is unforgettable. In the morning and evening, the light shines on the sea and the trees, and the seagulls are flying around. .
It's not the first time I've come to Dali, but it's the first time I have had such ample time to observe and play in the Erhai Lake. It's really unforgettable.
Maybe the scenery is so charming that we forgot to do nucleic acid, which paved the way for our next itinerary.
Accommodation: Tinger B&B (it’s really clean by Erhai Lake. Disadvantage: after getting off the taxi, you have to walk nearly 600 meters away, and it’s not convenient to drag your suitcase)

Morning at Caicun Wharf
December 5th Dali - Kunming - Dongchuan District
Take the high-speed train back to Kunming and arrive at 1:00 pm. Get out of the station to do nucleic acid, rent a car, and prepare to go to Dongchuan District. I plan to live in Dongchuan and go to the mountain the next morning. It took nearly 2 hours to drive all the way to Dongchuan District on the highway. After arriving at the hotel, our nucleic acid had been 49 hours, and the itinerary code showed 72 hours. Communicate with the front desk and tell them to do it at Kunming Station after 1 o'clock, but there is no result. They emphasized that according to the latest requirements, it must be 24-hour nucleic acid, and you cannot stay.
For the second half of this trip, we no longer booked hotels in advance, and we all went through it when we arrived. I have no choice but to find a supermarket to buy fruits and food. First of all, the fruits in Yunnan are really sweet. After eating, I decided to go straight up the mountain. I saw that I was doing a nucleic acid point, and I made another one.
Select a hotel in Luoxiagou on the navigation, and continue on your way. The sky is getting darker and darker, the sun sets early in the mountains, and the mountain roads are rugged and very difficult to walk. After more than an hour, before it was completely dark, we arrived at the hotel where we were navigating. The front desk has very humane requirements, saying that nucleic acid is also required, but it is getting late, and you should wait for the nucleic acid results in the lobby before going through the formalities.
They also said that the nucleic acid results have been coming out relatively slowly recently, and the higher authorities have been checking the situation of the hotel occupants, because the nucleic acid certificate on the way to prove that the checkpoint has been withdrawn, so they can't be sloppy. There is no good way, we can only wait.
They didn't have any guests in the hotel, just us and two female staff. They made us two bowls of rice noodles, and we had dinner.
By God's blessing, the nucleic acid results came out after 7 o'clock. When we checked in, it was very windy at night, and there were only four of us in such a big hotel, which was really scary. Traveling is annoying when there are many people, but it is also uncomfortable when there are few people.
Stay: Stay in the Time Boutique Inn (Inns like this in the scenic area are already very good, the rooms are large, and the hygiene is in the past)
December 6th Dongchuan Red Land - Dianchi Lake
In the early morning, 200 meters out of the inn, we arrived at the sightseeing plank road. There was no one on the plank road, only us. The wind was strong, and we quietly waited for the sun to rise. There are bursts of clouds and fog in the mountains, blocking the landscape, and I feel that the scenery will be greatly reduced. When the sun gradually climbed to the top of the mountain, there were still large clouds that blocked the light from time to time, but the fields and villages in Luoxiagou were still under the sun, and they were displayed in front of us, which was very spectacular. The wisdom of the Chinese working people can be seen at a glance.
luoxiagou
After returning from Luoxiagou, after breakfast, choose two spots to visit, one is Jinxiu Garden and the other is Lepuao.
The distribution of scenic spots in Dongchuan Red Land,
Fairview Garden
Le Puao
From the actual situation, if you go from Kunming to the Red Land Scenic Area, you must not go to Dongchuan District, which is a detour, and there is still a long mountain road. It is also possible to go directly to the scenic spot, choose an important place of interest to stay for one night, watch the sunrise and sunset, or go early and return late at all. It is basically high speed, a little bit of mountain road, and it is much more convenient.
In the afternoon, we returned to Kunming.
In Kunming in winter, of course, you have to go to Dianchi Lake, so choosing the vicinity of Dianchi Lake is the best choice.
We stayed at: Dianchi Xuyuan Homestay; it is highly recommended to choose it. It's on the edge of Dianchi Lake, go out from the small gate of the community, and cross the road to Dianchi Lake Viewing Road. sunshine Beach.
Here we finally saw people, and there were so many seagulls. We bought bread and had a close interaction with the seagulls. Everyone was smiling. The gift of nature is really good.
The nucleic acid in Dongchuan District is really slow, and it only came out this afternoon, which provides convenience for our next itinerary.
December 7th - 9th Kunming
I have to return the car on the 7th. I went to Haigeng Park first, and then went to Haihong Wetland Park. There are not as many seagulls as where we live. The wind is very strong, and the scenery is within the range of whether to go or not.
Because it is inconvenient after returning the car, we decided to live in the downtown area of Kunming, so that we can travel more freely. We chose to live near Kunming Old Street. According to two days of play, you can actually choose to live near Cuihu. It is also convenient to play.
We first went to the lecture hall, and then went to the Southwest Associated University, which was not open. Then I went to the very far Kunming Museum. For the rest, we shared bicycles and wandered around Kunming.
The anti-epidemic policy has undergone earth-shaking changes at this time. The nucleic acid sites are almost withdrawn. On the 8th, we were wandering around and saw one. We did it quickly. They are about to withdraw. We and another person became the bottom three of this site. people. We feel that this may be the last time we do nucleic acid. And starting from the 8th, the itinerary code and health code will no longer be checked wherever you go.
We went to the Dazhuan farmers market, the former residence of Nie Er, visited the old city of Kunming, and ate a lot. Again, Yunnan fruits are really sweet. Especially a small pineapple, sweeter than ever before. I bought three bags when I got home. The original plan was to bring them to my friends to taste. Unexpectedly, the epidemic at home forced us to lie flat at home and eat all the fruits we brought into our stomachs (fresh fruits are not allowed) .
See all the photos of this house in Kunming. At that time, I wondered why the house was so thin or arc-shaped. I didn't know until later that it was part of the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall. It is in the shape of a wine glass, the monument is in the center of the wine glass, and the arc house is the edge of the wine glass. So take a photo as a souvenir.
Accommodation: Kunming Yuebo Courtyard Hotel (an inn built from an old house, the location is superior, but the comfort of the old house is still poor)
December 9 Kunming - Tianjin
When I arrived at the airport today, everything went back to three years ago. No one will check your health code, travel code, or nucleic acid report. We returned home in a daze.
The regret of this trip is that Tengchong did not play, the photos are lost, and there are air tickets, which need to be 4-5 days in advance. Because the return trip has not changed much during the tour, about 300 yuan, so I didn’t make a reservation in time. When I booked a return ticket on the 9th on the 6th, it rose to more than 1,000, and I stepped on a big hole in the ticket.
We rented cars in Dali and Kunming respectively, and they went very smoothly, especially the car rental company in Dali. When we returned the car, we couldn't find a place to wash the car. We asked them to pay for the car wash, but we didn't ask for it.
This trip is mainly about natural scenery, tickets are very few, and I also met tourists from Tianjin with discounts. The second self-driving trip in Yunnan is the same as the first self-driving trip. I feel good and it is worth coming again. See you next time!
