Caiyunzhinan is a name full of infinite reverie. The first stop of the itinerary came to the magical Xishuangbanna, a paradise of primeval forests. There are girls from the Dai family here, there is the fragrance of Pu'er tea here, wild elephants walk here, peacocks fly here, love nourishes here, and love grows here. Leaving Banna, I came to Dali, a dreamlike place. I first met you in "Tian Long Ba Bu" when I was a child. I heard that there is a paradise where every house has water and every house has flowers... At that time, I wanted to go there to build my own paradise . Different from Lijiang, the beauty of Dali is more subtle, which needs to be savored carefully. As the saying goes, eat in Banna, play in Lijiang, the last stop of the itinerary we came to Lijiang, the capital of romance. The idea of traveling independently in a group gives people ample time to feel the charm of Lijiang. Lijiang is simply an outdoor peach garden for people who escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It can heal people's wounds and release their souls. This is why many people come here without leaving. Experience is also a kind of harvest, walking brings people infinite power. Whether you are a hasty passer-by or a tired returnee, here you will find the ultimate home of body and spirit.
Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles Anyone who comes to Yunnan will never forget to taste Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles. Bridge rice noodle consists of three parts: one is a bowl of chicken soup, each bowl is not less than 600 grams; the other is sliced food, including raw thin slices of meat, loin slices, chicken slices, and fish slices. Add processed tofu skin, chives, mung bean sprouts, pea tips, coriander and green onions; the third is rice noodles.
The tofu are lying on the grill, not surprising. A few minutes later, the wrapped tofu began to sing joyously, steaming one by one, scrambling to show off their gradually expanding figures. At this time, they are plump and look like they can be broken when poked, the skin becomes golden and golden, and the aroma begins to overflow.
The little guy in the store brought up the marinated rot sauce dipping plate and the dried pepper and sesame dipping plate, and the aroma was not only overwhelming, but also began to hook people's souls. With a piece of trembling tofu wrapped in milk, dipped in the juice, the body that would break apart immediately began to shrink and was soaked in juice. As soon as I put it in my mouth, a dripping juice poured into my mouth, without chewing at all, it just slid all the way into my stomach, carrying the heat of the charcoal fire. Chewing the outer skin carefully, the crunchy bean fragrance is another realm. Such enjoyment makes it impossible not to be captured. In this way, I slid into the world of wrapped tofu along with the warm experience.
Stone Forest Scenic Area
Kunming Stone Forest After breakfast, drive to Stone Forest, the only karst landform scenic spot located in the subtropical plateau area. The Stone Forest is a veritable "forest" composed of rocks. Walking through it, you can see that there are many strange stones, abrupt and towering, with different postures. Due to the role of limestone, the stone pillars are separated from each other, and after years of wind and rain erosion, countless stone peaks, stone pillars, stalagmites, and stone buds have formed a stone forest that combines strange stones, waterfalls, lakes, caves, peak clusters, and hills. . Yunnan Stone Forest is intoxicating with its unique ethnic customs. On the colorful red soil of the stone forest, there live the happiest and most joyous group in the world - the Sani people of the Yi nationality. Here, no matter young or old, women are called Ashima (meaning a girl as beautiful as gold in Yi language), and boys are called Aheige. In the afternoon, I visited Colorful Yunnan. Colorful Yunnan is located beside the road from Kunming to Shilin, 12 kilometers away from Kunming City. It is a large-scale comprehensive tourism enterprise integrating tourism, leisure, sightseeing and shopping. After browsing for 1 hour, I took a bus to Pu'er at about 3 o'clock. Pu'er City was once an important post on the "Tea Horse Road". Due to the influence of the subtropical monsoon climate, most areas here are frost-free all year round. It is one of the important producing areas of the famous Pu'er tea and one of the largest tea-producing areas in China. Since the road from Kunming to Pu'er is not easy to walk and has a large span, it takes longer to travel by car.
Beautiful YunNan
Kunming to Pu'er
The distance from Kunming to Pu'er is quite long, and the journey is not very easy. It takes about 6 hours. Dinner will also be on the way to Pu'er. If you are afraid of being hungry, you can bring some snacks.
Pu'er Sun River National Forest Park
Pu'er National Forest Park Visit Pu'er National Forest Park on the third day. Pu'er National Forest Park is a scenic spot that is still under construction. In the park, I always ask with a particularly curious attitude, what is this? What's this? It seems that when I came to Yunnan, I became a child, wanting to ask why? Pu'er National Forest Park is a natural oxygen bar, where the concentration of negative oxygen ions is very high. Here you can see gibbons jumping in the forest, red pandas traveling freely in the forest, birds cheering on the branches, wandering in the sea of various exotic flowers and plants, which is surprising and intoxicating. In the afternoon, I came to Yun Tea Garden. The Tea Horse Ancient Road built in Yun Tea Garden is based on the "Pu'er Tea Horse Ancient Road", and the entire road is paved with bluestone slabs. Walking on the bluestone road of the "ancient road", you can feel the sound of "tapping" horseshoes scattered in the mountains, and feel the vicissitudes of the years and the ups and downs of the world. The Wild Elephant Valley, which is also fascinating and illusory, came to the Wild Elephant Valley after leaving the Yuncha Garden. The reason why the wonderful Wild Elephant Valley is fascinating and full of wonder lies in the successful solution of how tourists enter the rainforest, how to view the rainforest, and how to prevent wild animals. Attack, how to observe safely. Almost all Asian wild elephants live in tropical jungles, and it is extremely difficult and dangerous to see wild elephants. In the evening, drive to the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
Tea-Horse Road
Banna Primitive Forest Park Depart from the hotel after breakfast, take a bus to the ancient tea garden of Nannuo Mountain, and then visit Mengjinglai Scenic Area, the first village in China and Myanmar, which is primitive and natural like a fairyland on earth. "Mengjinglai" is a Dai language, "Meng" is a village, and "Jinglai" is the shadow of a dragon. Entering the scenic spot, you will be faced with a magnificent building - Zhaimen. The location of Zhaimen was designated by the most prestigious Lafayette of Jingui Temple in Myanmar. It was designed and built according to the architectural style of the ancient Dai royal family. It is solemn, magnificent and full of national characteristics. The two major festivals related to Zhaimen are the Opening Festival and the Closing Festival. September 15th is the closing festival and December 15th is the opening festival. Entering the ancient village, I immediately found that the inside of the village is much cooler than the outside of the village, and those buildings on the first floor and first floor are surrounded by lush plants. Here we also saw the most original Dai sugar squeezing machine, which looks ancient and simple. Many tourists have personally experienced the juice squeezing process. The sugarcane is placed between two wooden stakes. When turning, the bearing will make the two The two stakes turned together, and the flattened sugar cane came out from the other side, and the sweet sugar cane juice flowed down the stake. We also took pictures at the Myanmar gate.
Daluo Port
Mengjinglai
In the villages of the Aini people, the Aini people generally do not intermarry with the Dai people. One is because of cultural differences (Dai people prefer women over boys, while Aini people prefer boys over girls), and the other reason is because it is said that Aini people and The Dai people have also fought wars before. Ai Niren was driven to the stockade here because he lost the battle.
During the dinner, Golden Peacock's Sodoli and Maodoli came to toast. The figures of each of them are really enviable and jealous, especially the head waiter's Sodoli is absolutely eye-catching! They are good at singing and dancing, especially when they yell in that small voice, I am afraid that the hearts of all tourists will be melted. It is said that Dai girls seem to be tender. Now, I have indeed seen it! No wonder so many educated youths couldn't bear the loneliness back then!
Dali
Dali On the fifth day, we left Xishuangbanna and flew to Dali, and arrived at Dali Airport in about an hour. Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, beside Butterfly Spring, Dali's wind, flowers, snow and moon are far away in the tranquility, so beautiful but so refreshing.
Huguo Road, which runs from east to west in the ancient city, is called "Foreigners Street". There are Chinese and Western restaurants, cafes, teahouses and handicraft shops one after another here. The signboards and advertisements are mostly written in foreign languages, attracting blond "foreigners" who linger here, looking for ancient oriental charm, and gradually become a unique landscape.
On both sides of the street, Bai people's houses are antique. The first gate of the ancient city - Literature Building. The Wenwen Building, located 1 km outside the south gate of Dali Ancient City, is known as the first gate of the ancient city and is a landmark building in Dali Ancient City. The Wenwen Building is a two-story Xieshan-style earth-wood-stone structure with typical Bai architectural features. It stands above the masonry structure door opening, majestic and magnificent.
Erhai Lake
After lunch, we went to the Erhai Lake to watch the osprey show. The Erhai osprey is a treasure among the world's ospreys. It is a tool that Erhai fishermen have raised and used for fishing for generations. It has been connected with local fishermen for more than three thousand years. It is a beautiful landscape of the Erhai Lake, but in recent years, the number of ospreys in the entire Erhai Lake area has not exceeded 100. Maybe in a few years, these elves on the Erhai Lake will disappear forever...

Lijiang
After dinner in Dali, we headed to Lijiang. It was almost 9 o'clock when we arrived in Lijiang. We arranged to check in near Lijiang Old Town, and it took about 10 minutes to walk to Lijiang Old Town. Lijiang is a complex of Naxi culture and Han culture. In the past, the knowledge of Lijiang was nothing more than hearsay. I heard that there is a pure blue sky, that there are white clouds that are easy to meet, that there are gurgling streams, and that there is a life far away from the world. Not what I was looking for. Now that I am close to her, there is always an urge to explore her.
Lijiang Old Town is the main commodity distribution center and handicraft production center in Northwest Yunnan. Therefore, special products from all over the Southwest can be bought in Lijiang. In the center of Lijiang Old Town, there is a square market of nearly 6 mu of land, surrounded by neat shops, commonly known as "Sifang Street", which is the most traditional shopping market in Lijiang.
Walking into the ancient city of Lijiang, a kind of indifferent mood emerges spontaneously, small bridges and flowing water, green tiles and eaves, fat and golden girls with different styles, lazy dogs, enthusiastic roadside singers; everything, let you I can forget all kinds of worldly things in an instant, and I wish I could live here forever.
Shuhe Ancient Town
When I met Maizi in Shuhe Ancient Town, I always thought she resembled Jiang Yiyan very much. I visited her Zhao Mansion. This small courtyard has a history of more than 200 years. It is simple, thick and quiet. Daily life, office reception are all here, still treated as the eldest lady of the ancient rich family! In the evening, I was treated to a Tibetan yak hot pot and a glass of highland barley wine, and I forgot where I was!
Compared with Lijiang Old Town, Shuhe Ancient Town is relatively quiet and more suitable for vacation, but the scenery is not inferior to Lijiang Old Town at all. For myself, I prefer Shuhe Ancient Town. It is said that many stars and hurt people have come here to heal their injuries. Here, you really don’t feel the worldly disputes. You sleep until you wake up naturally, and then you can relax in the yard Basking in the sun, half-lying on the wooden rattan chair in the small courtyard, just lying down for a whole day, the lazy sunshine, the warm afternoon, and the fresh air, you can imagine how comfortable it is.
Lijiang Old Town is actually composed of Dayan Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town and Baisha Ancient Town. What we usually call Lijiang Old Town is actually Dayan Ancient Town. The ancient town of Lijiang and the ancient town of Shuhe have been introduced in detail before, so I won’t go into details. The ancient town of Baisha has not yet been developed on a large scale and is more original. Due to time constraints, we did not visit Baisha Ancient Town, which is relatively regrettable, but this is also a good reason to come to Lijiang for the second time! !
In Shuhe Ancient Town, my friend took me to a restaurant that is very famous and popular in the area. Stars go to Shuhe Ancient Town to eat at a gourmet restaurant. The restaurant is located in Shuhe Ancient Town. The restaurant is surrounded by flowers grown by the owner himself. , there is a small stream flowing slowly at the door, it feels very good
There are many kinds of food, the main one is Yunnan cuisine, the dishes are delicious, the portions are large, the price is affordable, and the serving speed is quite fast, the service is super warm, comparable to Haidilao. My friend said that this restaurant is also a favorite of the locals , It's really super nice, I must recommend it to everyone!
My friend also took me to experience the legendary life in Shuhe. The pace is really too slow. It is a good place to enjoy life and a good place for many people to heal their wounds!
The small shop I found is very good. Although it is not big, the interior of the shop is quite exquisite. You can bask in the sun, listen to music, and drink coffee here in winter. This feeling is really enjoyable and comfortable. Everyone You can enjoy it!
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Today we went to Naked Merlot Grand Canyon. Dongba Valley is located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain in Yunnan, 15 kilometers away from the ancient city of Lijiang. It is a natural ecological grand canyon. The valley is 90 kilometers long, and the cliffs and cliffs inside are uncanny, and the caves are densely forested like a dream, and there are all kinds of stalactites, withered vines, strange trees, strange stones, rare birds, songbirds, and waterfalls. After being discovered by the local people, it is called Dongba. Valley, Naxi language is called "naked beauty falling", which means a big valley in Chinese. "Naked Meile" means "a big valley" in Naxi dialect. Because the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain at an altitude of 5,596 meters on the west side of the canyon is majestic and straight, towering into the sky, like a man, naturally, the naked beauty of the Grand Canyon deeply embedded in the ground at its feet has become a symbol of women and an object of worship and admiration by the Naxi people. In different seasons of each year, people come to burn incense and worship regularly in order to have "more children and more blessings" and a strong nation.
Dongba Valley
The main street of Dongba Valley is Craftsman Street, which is the place where primitive commerce is gathered and traded. On both sides of the street are the courtyards of some ethnic minorities, all of which are shops full of ethnic characteristics, with a variety of jewelry, furs, and medicinal materials.
