Although I have forgotten how I chose to go to Yunnan at that time, during the peak tourist season of that summer vacation.
However, thinking about it now, it is indeed a very good choice. While you are young, make more troubles.
I was supposed to return home on the 11th, but when I encountered a typhoon in Shanghai, I had no choice but to stay one more night temporarily.
Depart for Yunnan
The simple tripod for the selfie lens of the mobile phone camera, and the pad I don’t know why I brought it, but it didn’t come in handy in the end.
CASTA's latte is really not good. I have no choice but to get up early in the morning and go out without some caffeine. I really can't stand it.
The in-flight meal of China Eastern Airlines is simple, and it is no problem to fill the stomach.
We booked a connecting flight from Shanghai to Nanchong, and stayed at Nanchong Airport for about 30 minutes. It's really a small airport, more like a train station.
The flight attendant will issue this transit boarding pass as proof of boarding and transit.
Get ready to board the plane. There is Zhou Hei Ya bought outside Nanchong Airport. I regret not buying it. I am afraid that I will miss the flight due to lack of time. I am hesitant. In the end, I really don’t have enough time to buy it. The family sitting in the back seat of us made a quick decision. , I gnawed on the duck neck on the plane, a little envious.
The little surprise is that the plane also prepared afternoon tea? Maxim's small snacks will satisfy your hunger.
Kunming - a glimpse
At about 14:30 in the afternoon, I arrived in Kunming. It seemed that it had just rained, and the air was a little wet. It is said that July and August are also the rainy season in Yunnan. Fortunately, I made preparations in advance. It was true that there were heavy rains and light rains, but they were all of the shower type, coming and going quickly.
Kunming Airport is still very distinctive, full of murals, here are two for Wu Xiansen.
The children's luggage cart in the airport is very interesting. Children can sit in the front and put luggage in the back.
In Kunming, we only have one afternoon trip, and we have to catch the train to Dali at 9 pm. Prepare the strategy in advance, go to the train station to explore the way first. From the airport, there is an airport bus to the train station.
Colorful Yunnan welcomes you and starts our beautiful journey.
After getting off the bus, I inquired about it. There is a luggage storage service at the station near the train station. I rushed over there immediately. The big and small bags are stored first, and then I have a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles, which is perfect.
The steam pot chicken was originally planned for him to go to a popular restaurant to eat steam pot chicken at night, but he missed it because of time.
Cross the bridge rice noodles with petals, put them in the same way, and you can eat them after a while. For those of us who like to eat soup and water, it is simply delicious in the world.
After eating, we walked to Cuihu Park, not very far, easy to find.
The little squirrels in Cuihu Park are not afraid of life at all. They scurry around, climbing trees for a while, and running around on the grass for a while.
The lotus pond in the park is about to open, very beautiful.
Please ask an aunt to help me take a photo.
I accidentally saw marshmallows, and I still use very old machines to make them. It's just like the taste of my childhood. No coloring, just a soft marshmallow.
I listened to the concert of local residents and listened to them play for a while. Different cities really have the taste of different cities, and parks are also a manifestation of culture. It is obvious that there is still a big difference between the parks in Green Lake and Shanghai.
Found this besides Marshmallow too.
Opposite Cuihu Park is Yunnan University. It’s still early to go in and take a walk. The security guard didn’t stop us.
The sky also darkened, and I took a few photos in a hurry, and the drizzle fell down, soaking my hair.
When I saw the basketball court, I couldn't help but want to take a picture. Although the focus was out of focus and it was blurred, it was still a group photo that I really, really like. It made up for the school days that Wu Xiansen and I missed.
After visiting Yunnan University, it was about seven o’clock. I wanted to take a taxi back to the bus station to pick up my luggage. Maybe because of the rain, there were no taxis nearby, and I couldn’t get a taxi. I had no choice but to walk back at a faster pace. , It was indeed a bit late, so there was no time to go to the restaurant where the steam pot chicken was supposed to be delicious.
Wu Xiansen hurriedly bought some food and rushed to the train station.
This is also the first time for me to take a soft sleeper train, Harmony, and I have no idea about soft sleepers.
It's better than I expected, a small cubicle, 4 beds, and the door can be closed.
Very clean, but also a very interesting memory.
Originally, I thought, I don’t know what kind of people I will meet, after all, I have to spend 7 hours together in the car. I never expected that such an interesting pair of Dalian sisters came in. It was very interesting to go to Dali to play together. There was a lot of laughter and laughter all night. Later, they talked about it. They were also worried for a long time, not knowing what kind of people they lived together.
So travel, isn't that what it is, so many uncertainties, so that there is an intersection with each other who would never have an intersection.
Wu Xiansen was already snoring softly from the upper bunk, and I really didn’t close my eyes all night, the rumbling sound of the railway was too loud, and seeing the occasional light of the mobile phone on the lower bunk opposite, it seemed that she didn’t sleep well all night either. sleep.
Erhai Lake in Dali - Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon
At 6 o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at the station, and the Dalian sisters booked a homestay in Dali Ancient Town, and also made a traffic strategy. We had the cheek to go to the homestay with them and store our luggage by the way.
The ancient city of Dali at 7 o'clock in the morning is very quiet and there are few people.
After storing our luggage, we said our simple thanks and goodbyes, and we parted ways.
Let's find a place first, let's settle the breakfast, and eat some rice noodles and steamed buns.
There are many such bright murals in the ancient town.
Dog, why are you staring at me like that?
The owner is also very casual, a Buddhist owner.
The vegetable market in the ancient city began to bustle.
The weather was not beautiful, and it started to rain again. This was also the biggest and longest rain in this trip.
Hastily settled for lunch in Dexter (the place with the yellow light in the upper left corner of the picture below).
Wu Xiansen: "The chicken wings here taste like boiled fish, try it."
Me: "Well, it's delicious. This is not Sichuan. Why does it taste like boiled fish?"
Wu: "...Like boiled fish? It's actually just ordinary chicken wings."
I:"......"
But what is it that really smells like boiled fish?
Thinking that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, I should take my luggage and go to Erhai Lake earlier, and I can take a nap. After all, I really can’t sleep well on the train all night.
I called a small car and drove to Erhai Shuanglang without much time. I bought two cakes on the way and tasted them.
I stayed in Erhai for two nights, both in Lanting Bieyuan. The first night was an ordinary room. The price of 230 is really invincible. It is very big and the bed is very comfortable.
Simple and clean.
There is no room card, only the key, isn't it very special.
The rose at the door is so beautiful in red in the rainy day.
The bougainvillea in the corner is already in full bloom, giving people the illusion of being in Southeast Asia.
In the rainy Erhai Lake, the thick clouds have already covered the top of Cangshan Mountain.
The Selfie technology is limited, and it is relatively dark, so you can only look at it casually.
By the way, get rid of the yogurt I bought last night, anyway, if I'm idle, I'm idle.
The rain also stopped at night, ready to go out for food.
There are quite a lot of places to eat in Shuanglang, and there are also a lot of group buying, just find one that is more eye-catching.
With three dishes and one soup, it is enough for two people.
On the way back to the B&B, I passed a very cute B&B.
I was still worried at night, whether the rain would affect the good weather the next day, but I woke up in the morning and found that I was completely overwhelmed.
I booked a car to go to Xizhou. Today’s itinerary is Xizhou, Haitong and Erhai Lake. The time is relatively tight, but fortunately, the daytime is long enough.
Passing by this place, the driver said that the photo here is very beautiful, and drove us all down, well, then set up a small tripod and take a picture.
The architecture of Xizhou is still very distinctive, and it is relatively pure and natural. Compared with Dali and Shuanglang, it does not have so much commercial atmosphere.
The sackcloth dyed by the locals has a beautiful color.
You need tickets to enter the Yan family compound, and the time is relatively tight, so there is no special feature to watch.
The weather is surprisingly good, the wind is sunny, and the whole thing looks like an oil painting.
White walls, the local houses are basically white.
I came to the edge of Xizhou, and I met a family of self-driving friends here. We had a brief chat. It turned out that their next stop was also Haitong Park. We warmly invited us to take a taxi together. In fact, we are really worried about how to get to Haitong, after all, there is some distance from the place where the car is called.
Really grateful for the lovely people I met along the way.
By the time we arrived at Haitong, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was very strong, very sunny, really very sunny. Wu Xiansen was about to be exposed to the sun.
Sea tongue landmark.
It looks like a tongue stretching towards the Erhai Lake, so it is named Haitong. If you come when the tide is high, the Erhai Sea will be covered by the tongue, and it will be more beautiful to take pictures at this time.
I accidentally pressed one, originally wanting to test whether the remote control is easy to use.
Haitong Park is not big, but it is also because it is too hot and too sunny, so we really can’t spend a long time outdoors. After walking around, we still plan to go back to Xizhou for lunch.
I bought a baked tofu on the side of the road, which actually tastes like dried tofu.
This store is very interesting, and its dishes are served on each table. The snail meat is not bad, and the presentation is not bad.
After eating, I saw the Xizhou Baba on the opposite side. I couldn't eat it anymore, so I didn't buy it.
It was noon when we got back to the B&B, it was too hot and a bit tired, so we changed the room by the way.
Denden~ Authentic sea view room.
The Erhai Lake is just outside the balcony. I like the interior very much, and there is also a huge jacuzzi.
I also like this color scheme very much, it has a very ethnic feeling.
Wu Xiansen insisted on taking a nap and taking a nap before setting off.
There is a place to rent battery cars at the entrance of Shuanglang. In the afternoon, there are not many cars to choose from, so just pick one and hit the road.
There are many such Erhai boundary pillars along the way.
As well as many such abandoned boats, the advantage of small battery cars is that they can stop when they want.
Passing by a lotus pond, the beauty is outrageous.
Occasionally, we met a grazing sheep bleating, just like this on the Huanhai Road, until Lugu Lake, we found out that this is the most normal thing.
Like children in line, playing and playing.
Give the small battery car a close-up and accompany us to drive all the way.
The terminal station, Little Putuo, is quietly located in Erhai Lake.
It's getting late, and it's time to go back.
This platform is good for taking pictures, but it is really smelly. I don’t know if it is better now. It smells like leftovers.
Wu Xiansen, who was said to be extremely stiff by many people, was a little afraid of heights, and he was a little scared.
But it's really nice to take pictures.
After taking the photos, I quietly admired the fire cloud, and many tourists stopped and stayed.
I booked at the hotel to watch the sunrise on the second day, and the Nanyang style island. The boat was at the pick-up port outside the hotel early in the morning (I don’t know what to call this place, I can’t say it’s a pier, after all, it’s just a few steps to get there. To Erhai Lake.)
When I go out, I can still see the moon in the sky, half day and half night.
The sky is getting brighter, and there are more boats on the Erhai Sea.
The sun also slowly poked its head.
Forgive our limited photography skills at that time, a good sunrise was photographed like this. . .
Nanyang Style Island is a small island located in Erhai Lake. I think it is more like a park in the sea.
The Nanyang Style Island is not big, and it can be visited in an hour. The boatman is already waiting for us at the place where we disembark.
Go back to the homestay, pack up, and leave for Lijiang.
Some photos of the room.
After packing up the suitcase, I still have some time to finish my lunch at the corner of a small road in Shuanglang. This bowl of cold chicken noodle is really the best cold noodle with shredded chicken. It's a famous small shop with few seats. We settled it on the small square stool by the roadside. We didn't expect it to be so delicious!
Before leaving, Wu Xiansen insisted on taking a photo with the small battery to make up for the regret that he didn't choose the car he wanted yesterday. Did you see the big construction site behind it? That's right, that's the entrance of the double corridor. It's a mess of concrete, steel bars, and dust.
Lugu Lake - blue-green lake water
The boarding point is at the entrance of Shuanglang. I have forgotten how long it took to drive. I am really sorry for everyone. This travel note does not seem to be of much help to everyone. The drop-off point is Lijiang Yigao, and you need to take a taxi to Lijiang Ancient Town.
At the time of the plan, we only stayed in Lijiang for two nights. We had to take a car to Lugu Lake early the next morning, so we booked a hotel with relatively high cost performance, but I didn’t expect it to be so cost-effective. The room costs around 200 yuan. Big and clean.
On the top of the building, you can overlook the entire ancient city and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon after I put away my things. I chatted with the innkeeper about the recommended food and hit the road. Thanks to the super long daytime, even if I go out at four o'clock, there are still many things to see.
It is really a moment of Lijiang Xiaoqian that is played everywhere. It is said that it is commercial, and it is indeed commercial. The shops along the street are similar but slightly different, and there are shops similar to small commodity souvenirs every few times.
Mufu also needs tickets, so I'm not very interested in this.
According to the owner of the homestay, the dinner will be settled in the nagging square. There is no big facade, no luxurious decoration, and there is only good taste. So much so that I came to eat the waxed ribs hot pot on the last day. The waxed ribs is a bit salty.
I ordered the special black goat hot pot. The goat meat is very tender and the amount is very large.
At this point, everyone may be eating in the restaurant, and there are not many people on the road.
Rest for one night, and set off for Lugu Lake early the next morning. Before the Lugu Lake Airport was opened, it took 7 hours to drive over.
So, have you seen Lijiang at 6 in the morning? It's unbelievably quiet.
The driver will stop a few times on the way to let everyone take a rest and go to the toilet.
I didn't even dare to drink water, because I knew that this toilet was really, really hard to use. Every time Wu Xiansen finished, I asked him how is the toilet? The answer you get is basically "you still don't want to go."
Along the mountain road, the driver suddenly stopped the car. I thought something happened. It turned out that the place to see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake was here.
When I saw Lugu Lake for the first time, I couldn't help but sigh, "My God, what kind of fairyland is this!!!"
I feel that the bumpy road and the 7-hour drive are worth it.
Living in the city, I have never seen such a scene.
The car will take you to the hotel you booked. We did not choose the Lige Peninsula. One is that it is too lively, and it is actually a bit incompatible with the cleanliness of Lugu Lake. Of course, the price is also a major factor to consider.
Zizai Jialan is newly opened in this piece of land that has not yet been commercialized.
The hotel specially asked the hotel to help arrange the honeymoon room, although it was not the honeymoon period.
If you have a heart, the handwritten note is still kept.
The room is large, the bedding is very comfortable, there is a sofa and wine.
Don't say it's in Yunnan, do you think it's in Southeast Asia?
The hotel can provide meals. The chef is a handsome guy from Sichuan. You need to go to the kitchen to order. Since all the vegetables need to be shipped, there is no fixed menu, just order what you have.
The Wucai Lige branch is still under construction next to the hotel, and there is also a swimming pool.
It's not very lively here, and it's not that easy to rent a battery car. I asked the hotel staff and finally found a nearby one. I need to deposit my ID card. The owner is very, very nice, and I can just return the car before 9 pm. There are very few styles to choose from. They are all serious battery cars, which have nothing to do with small freshness. It can be said to be very hardcore!
Lover's Cliff, many people took pictures, so I chose the one on the side, which is relatively clean.
Colorful prayer flags can be seen everywhere.
I ran into a friend who was riding a bicycle around Lugu Lake with a 5D3 on his back, and lent it to Wu Xiansen to pose for a photo.
Finally, I took a group photo. I dare not think about riding a bicycle around the lake. After all, we are really tired from using the battery car.
It was actually a thrilling day, and looking back now, it is also a very unique memory.
We plan to go around the lake to Lige on the same day, and return to the hotel after dinner.
Unexpectedly, I forgot the time while taking pictures on the road, and it was almost dark in Lige. Rieger's "nine consecutive hairpin bends" made us a little scared when we were driving a battery car for the first time. We drove carefully, and it was already dark on the return trip after dinner. I sat in the back seat and guided Wu Xiansen. The mountain roads are not easy to drive, with twists and turns and large trucks. Without the sun, it was still cold at night. I was very anxious. It was already past the time to return the car, and I didn’t dare to drive too fast. After all, safety comes first.
When we were about to return the car, it was already 22 o'clock. Seeing the uncle waiting for us on the main road, he didn't blame us. The first sentence he said was "Are you all right? I thought something was wrong. I'm so worried."
The starry sky was beautiful that night and the people were kind.
20:00 Sunset at Lugu Lake.
The next day, I rented a battery car from my uncle and walked the rest of the way. Because I had already been to Lige the day before, I didn’t stop for the first half of the journey. I just took a pig trough boat at Daluoshui. To the center of Lugu Lake.
The water of Lugu Lake is very blue and beautiful.
Watery poplar, can be cooked, scattered on Lugu Lake a lot.
There is an additional charge for disembarking. It seems to be 20 per person. In the end, I bargained with my friends on the same boat. I can’t remember the exact amount. The pig trough boat will go to a small island in the lake and land on the island by the way.
There are no permanent residents on the island.
There are also five-color prayer flags here.
There is also a wish sign.
Back on the boat, the boatman's son's bracelet was loose, so I tied it for him, but with clumsy hands, it took several times to fix it.
Give me a smiley face back.
In fact, the father and father are still very similar. Dad asked him to help row the boat. He was still playing at first, but later he got serious.
Back to Luoshui Village, we went on the road after a simple lunch. The weather started to overcast, and we saw many maca sellers along the way. I don’t know if it’s true or not.
There is an observation deck here, and you can see the Rige Peninsula, a small Rieger Peninsula, which is full of B&Bs and restaurants.
Going forward, you will arrive at the Lover Tree. Like two lovers, the Lover Tree stands beside Lugu Lake. It is very quiet here. The one on the left was struck by lightning a few days ago, so it was broken in half.
Gesang flowers all over the ground complement the tranquility of the lover tree.
Still set up the tripod, in order to cooperate with me, Wu Xiansen's movement is also perfect.
It was raining at this time, the weather was not as good as it was in the morning, and it was a bit cold, but fortunately, our trip was halfway through.
The last stop is the Marriage Bridge. It is said that the scenery may be better in autumn, and the grass sea has turned golden yellow.
Around Lugu Lake, the whole journey is about 80 kilometers, riding a battery car, from Yunnan to Sichuan and back to Yunnan.
To commemorate the battery car with long-lasting power, although it looks simple, it is full of sense of security. Wu Xiansen has also worked hard. As the first time to drive such a heavy battery car, it is not easy to arrive safely.
Back at the hotel, I was hungry, my brother from Sichuan said that there are not many dishes today, let’s see what you want to eat. Ordered a plate of fried sausage and other vegetables. Really the best decision of this trip. As I don't like to eat pig offal, I also think it is delicious! So that nothing else matters.
The car back to Lijiang early the next morning, the hotel will send you back to the pick-up point, there are two sick patients on the car, who are going to the hospital, and it is also around the lake, I accidentally fell down and broke a bone while riding the bike .
My God, I really feel that we are lucky that we were not injured. I don’t know where the courage came from to drive more than 120 kilometers along the Hushan Road like this.
On the second night in Lijiang, I booked Huajiantang. It was also the first time I stayed in Huajiantang. As the originator of the hotel chain, it is really unique. There are drying facilities in the room.
Put your luggage away, let's take a walk around the ancient city.
Lijiang
Lijiang
After receiving a notice that there was a typhoon in Shanghai, the original flight was cancelled, and it was delayed by one day.
After thinking about it, let’s go to Baisha and Dayan. After all, I don’t want to be too tired to go to the snow-capped mountains. With the extra day, I still feel that the first day’s dream life is good in every aspect. I asked and there are still vacancies. , Book quickly.
After finishing the buffet breakfast at Huajiantang in the morning, I also cooked a bowl of rice noodles by myself. After checking out, I put my luggage in my dream.
Baisha is a bit like Xizhou, with primitive ecology, not many people, not many shops, and completely different styles from Lijiang ancient town.
Interestingly, I met a young couple in Baisha. They rented a tandem bicycle in Dayan, but they didn’t want to ride back. They felt too tired and asked us if we would like to help return it. It was a coincidence that we happened to be going to Dayan, so we agreed.
Following the navigation, riding a tandem bicycle (really tired, you have to push it on the brick floor of the ancient city... I finally know why they don't want to return it...) Fortunately, the scenery along the way is good, and I'm not in a hurry anyway.
Dayan Ancient Town, in fact, is nothing special, the business is no more than Lijiang Ancient Town, and the original is no more than Baisha.
At night, I want to climb Lion Mountain to watch the sunrise. Tickets are required to go to the top of the mountain. It is not cost-effective to buy a ticket specially. Just watch it at the highest place you can go.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
That night, the store manager of Mengli Nianhua also invited everyone to have a barbecue together and chat about the world. There are friends who make music and friends who travel far and wide. On that night, I really felt that my nine-to-five life was so monotonous and ordinary, compared to those who had dreams, how insignificant I was.
After breakfast the next day, tidy up and head to the airport.
Writing here, this trip to Yunnan, full of surprises and surprises, is over.
remember at the end
Now think about it, why write a travelogue?
In addition to sharing some dry goods and strategies, friends who want to go will avoid detours.
It is also to keep a memory for myself, just like writing this travel note 4 years later, I have forgotten some details, and these memories and experiences have actually made me who I am now.
After many years, you may not remember where you bought the ticket at that time, and what kind of interesting people you met. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to come back and read the travelogue to bring back the memories buried in the depths?
