The long-awaited trip to Yunnan. Before the trip, I did a long time of research and strategy on Yunnan tourism. There are many places I want to go, and the itinerary is full, but I didn’t expect the arrival of the strong typhoon "Likima" to disrupt our trip. plan. The moment I arrived at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, I received news that the flight was delayed. Fortunately, it was not cancelled, otherwise everything would be good bye~ Many flights would have been cancelled. Fortunately, ours was only delayed, so I can only comfort myself in this way, otherwise the mood of the whole trip will not be good Yes, although it has actually disrupted our plans.
Day 1: Shanghai→Kunming, live in Kunming
Take a flight from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport T2 to Kunming Changshui Airport. It is expected to arrive at 12:00, and then rush to the train station to Lijiang. There are many planes from Shanghai to Kunming, which are about 1000~2000 yuan cheaper than flying from Shanghai to Lijiang. Round trip It’s a maximum of 4,000 yuan, and you can also visit Kunming on the way. This is really a good trip that saves money and is reasonable. Unfortunately, I didn’t expect that the plane was delayed for more than 4 hours, so that I almost missed the train o( ╥﹏╥)o. Then I can only change the itinerary immediately, stay in Kunming for one day, and then go to Lijiang the next day (the train ticket refund and the one-night inn in Lijiang will lose a lot)
Kunming Attractions Introduction 1:
1. Haigeng Park, where you can visit Dianchi Lake (you can visit together with Yunnan Ethnic Village and Yunnan Ethnic Museum)
Dianchi Lake is also known as Kunming Lake, Kunming Lake, Diannan Lake, and Dianhai Lake. In the southwest of Kunming, rivers such as the Panlong River flow into it. The lake is 1,886 meters above sea level and covers an area of 330 square kilometers. It is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and is known as the Pearl of the Plateau. The average water depth is 5 meters and the deepest is 8 meters. Dianchi Lake is a national-level tourist resort in China, surrounded by Yunnan Ethnic Village, Yunnan Ethnic Museum, Xishan Huating Temple, Taihua Temple, Sanqing Pavilion, Longmen, Qiongzhu Temple, Daguan Tower, Panlong Temple in Jinning, Zhenghe Park, etc. scenic area.
2. Cuihu Park (can be visited together with Yunnan University and Army Lecture Hall; Siberian red-billed gulls migrate in winter, which is the best time to see)
It was originally a part of Dianchi Lake, and was formerly known as "Caihaizi". After the dredging of Haikou in the Yuan Dynasty, the water level of Dianchi Lake was greatly reduced, and it gradually separated from Dianchi Lake. Mu Ying, who was guarding Yunnan, once stationed troops here, and thousands of army horses often bathed in the river beside the lake, so the river was named "Xima River". Because of the continuous gushing of groundwater in the lake, it is also called "Nine Dragons Pool". In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, someone planted lotus in the lake. When the lotus was in full bloom, it became a tourist attraction. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Governor Fan Chengxun and Governor Wang Jiwen built the Shuang Pavilion on Cuihu Lake and the "Biyi Pavilion" (now the Huxin Pavilion) on the island. Since then, Cuihu Lake has become a scene in Kunming. During the reign of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, two embankments were built in the lake, running through the east, west, north, south, and forming a "ten" cross. After that, Cuihu Lake gradually became a famous tourist area. After the 1950s, Cuihu Lake has become one of the main parks in the city after several renovations by the government.
3. Daguanlou Park (the filming location of "Extreme Challenge", Daguanlou is most famous for the longest couplet in China in front of the building)
It is 6 kilometers away from Kunming, facing Dianchi Lake, and facing the green and undulating Taihua Mountain across the water, so it is also called "Jinhuapu". It is a famous tourist attraction in central Yunnan. Daguanlou Park was built in the 21st year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1682 A.D.). It has been more than 300 years ago. In the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family, hereditary guardian of Yunnan, practiced navy in Dianchi Lake, and specially built a garden here. Because it is close to Taihua Mountain on the other side of Dianchi Lake, it was named "Jinhuapu". Later, Ganyin, a monk from Hubei, came here to study Buddhist scriptures and built a Guanyin Temple, which has been more than 300 years ago. Entering the garden and walking straight by the lotus pond, there is a pavilion in front of you, and the couplet hanging on the door is "the beach was once water, and you want to go up the tall building and park a boat", which means that in ancient times, you have to go to the Grand View Tower to go through the boat ferry and park the boat in front of the pavilion. The glazed yellow tiles on the pavilion are inlaid with marble, and the words "near Huapu" are engraved in calligraphy. Passing through the gate of the pavilion, a square three-story building flashes out among the green trees. This is the famous Daguanlou. In the 29th year of Kangxi (1690), the governor Wang Jiwen supervised the construction of the building, and built Yongyue Pavilion, Chengbi Hall, Cuigeng Hall, Guanjia Hall and other buildings beside it. The view is wide open and the scenery is spectacular because of climbing the tower, so it is named "Grand View Tower".
Day 2: Kunming → Lijiang, live in Lijiang
In the morning, I went to Kunming Station to eat Guoqiao Rice Noodles (Qiaoxiangyuan and Mengziyuan are the most authentic, and now they have formed a chain store, with many branches in Kunming).
Then take the train to Lijiang Station (about 3 hours); visit Lijiang Old Town in the afternoon.
Lijiang Old Town (Dayan Ancient Town)
At an altitude of 2,416 meters, the streets in the ancient city of Lijiang are built close to mountains and rivers, paved with red breccia, and there are big waterwheels (the big waterwheels and wishing forest are very beautiful), Sifang Street, Mufu, Wufeng Tower, and Heilongtan , Wenchang Palace, Wang Pizhen Memorial Hall, Xueshan Academy, Wangjiazhuang Christian Church, Fang Guoyu's Former Residence, White Horse Longtan Temple, Gu Peter's Former Residence, Jinglian Temple, Puxian Temple and other scenic spots. Lijiang is one of the second batch of approved Chinese historical and cultural cities, and one of the two ancient cities in China that successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the entire ancient city. The ancient town of Lijiang has colorful local ethnic customs and entertainment activities, such as Naxi ancient music, Dongba rituals, divination culture, bars in the ancient town, and the Naxi Torch Festival, etc., which are unique.
Main Attractions:
Mufu: Mufu was originally the government office of the Mu clan, the hereditary chieftain of Lijiang. It is located at the eastern foot of the ancient city of Shizi. The Mu Mansion covers an area of 46 mu. There are 162 large and small rooms in the mansion. The central axis is 369 meters long. Sanqing Hall, Yuyin Building, Guangbi Building, Guardian Hall, Wanjuan Building, Conference Hall, and Zhongyi Square are arranged in an orderly manner from west to east. There are eleven plaques bestowed by emperors of past dynasties hanging inside, reflecting the history of the rise and fall of the Mu family. The TV series "Mufu Fengyun", which tells the story of Lijiang's Mu family chieftain, was filmed here. "Extreme Challenge" filming location.
Wufeng Tower: Wufeng Tower, located in Fuguo Temple in the city, was built in the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1601), with a height of 20 meters. Because its architectural shape resembles five flying phoenixes, it is named Wufeng Tower. There are many exquisite patterns painted on the ceiling of the building. Wufeng Tower integrates the architectural art styles of Han, Tibetan, Naxi and other nationalities, and is a treasure and a typical example of ancient Chinese architecture.
Wangu Tower: There is a mountain in the southwest corner of Dayan Ancient City in Lijiang, which looks like a lying lion guarding the ancient city. It is the Lion Mountain. It was opened as a park in 1998. The five-star classical style all-wood structure Wangjing Building built on the top of the mountain is named "Wangu Building". The building is 32.8 meters high, with 16 24-meter-long wooden pillars reaching the top. There are 12,600 Naxi-style faucets on the upper floor, the highest in the world. "Extreme Challenge" filming location.
Sifang Street: It is a snack street in the ancient city. There are dozens of small restaurants on both sides of the street. Each restaurant has a variety of rice noodles unique to Yunnan, so this street is also called "Lijiang Rice Noodle Street". Sifang Street is the center of the ancient city of Lijiang. It is said that it was built by the chieftain of the Mu family in the Ming Dynasty according to the shape of his seal. This is the most important hub on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, merchants from all walks of life have gathered here, and the cultures of various ethnic groups have intersected here. It is the center of Lijiang's economic and cultural exchanges. Sifang Street is an important place for the residents of the ancient city to carry out festival activities. The singing and dancing performances are held in three periods of 11:10-11:40, 14:10-14:40 and 16:10-16:40 every day.
Kegongfang: Located on the west side of Sifang Street, it is a three-story building. According to legend, Kegongfang was first built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was built for the Yang family's "one family and three actions". In the first year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1723 A.D.), Lijiang implemented the "reformation of the land and returning to the local people". The original hereditary rule of the chieftain was changed to the rule of the officials appointed by the central government with a certain term. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Zhaolan, who lived in Kegong Lane Two brothers, Yang Zhaorong and Yang Zhaorong, both won the election. During the Daoguang period, Yang Shuochen, the son of Yang Zhaorong, won the election again, so the government and the people lost money to build a two-story Kegongfang at the entrance of the alley. It was destroyed by fire on the third day of the first lunar month in 1944. Three years later, Kegongfang was rebuilt and raised to three floors.
Stone bridges: On the Yuhe River system in the ancient city of Lijiang, 354 bridges have been built, with an average density of 93 bridges per square kilometer. There are various shapes of bridges. The more famous ones are Suocui Bridge, Dashi Bridge, Wanqian Bridge, Nanmen Bridge, Ma'an Bridge, and Renshou Bridge, all of which were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (14th-19th centuries A.D.).
The Dashi Bridge is the first among all the bridges in the ancient city. It is located 100 meters east of Sifang Street. It was built by the chieftain of the Mu clan in the Ming Dynasty. Because the reflection of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain can be seen from the middle river under the bridge, it is also called Yingxue Bridge. The bridge is a double-hole stone arch bridge. The arch ring is supported by slate. The bridge is more than 10 meters long and nearly 4 meters wide. The bridge deck is paved with traditional five-flowered stones.
Speciality cuisine:
Chickpea jelly: a food made with chickpeas as the main raw material. In hot weather, it is mixed with chili powder, leeks, mung bean sprouts, spinach, pepper oil, pockmarked salt, mustard and other condiments. In addition, there is steamed jelly made by steaming jelly with stewed powder mixed with fried yellow in a cage, which is mostly used in vegetarian food.

Cured pork ribs hot pot: Lijiang's special hot pot, cured pork ribs as soup base, side dishes with vegetables, purple yam and water-based poplar are local side dishes that must be added (water-based poplar tastes like cress)
transportation:
Taxi: There are no taxis in Lijiang Old Town, and motor vehicles are prohibited. The main taxi stand is near the Yulong Bridge at the junction of the ancient city and the new city. When taking a taxi in Lijiang, you must first ask about the price, as the management of taxis in Lijiang is chaotic.
The third day: Lijiang, live in Lijiang
The best itinerary of the day was to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but because our plane was delayed, we didn't have time to go.
Precautions for Snow Mountain:
1. People with high blood pressure, heart disease, and severe colds are not allowed to use this ropeway, as the altitude is too high to be life-threatening.
2. Altitude sickness: You can walk from 4,506 meters to 4,680 meters at the upper station of the cableway. There will be altitude sickness. Do what you can. High altitude hypoxia requires physical and mental adjustments in advance. Be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, winter clothes, and oxygen cylinders (20 yuan a bottle in the ancient city, 70 yuan a bottle on the mountain); you will have altitude sickness from the cable car ride; it is about 300 meters from the platform to the summit, but it will be very tiring , You have to inhale oxygen when you walk up a flight of stairs, and it will be better when you go down the mountain. When you queue up to take the cable car down the mountain, you will suffer from hypoxia if you are crowded; those who are not in good health are not recommended to climb to the top.
3. The wind is strong in spring and winter, even if you buy a ticket, you may not be able to go there. Please be prepared in advance. Generally, it is better in the morning, but there are many people and you will queue for a long time.
4. Lijiang is very cool in the morning and evening, so it is recommended to wear a thin sweater and a windbreaker; the local drinking water is melted ice and snow, and the cold is relatively severe. If the body is weak and cold, it is better to drink bottled water.
Glacier Park: Located in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the main peak of the snow mountain is the fan steep northeast slope, which is a typical representative of modern glaciers in the snow mountain. Glacier Park is a park composed of caves and caves eroded by glaciers. It is a landform relic formed by glaciers in the Quaternary Period. It is known as the "Glass Palace of Lucerne".
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the first batch of national 5A-level tourist attractions in China, with an area of 415 square kilometers and a maximum altitude of 5,596 meters.
Taking the fully enclosed cableway, you can have a panoramic view of the vertical distribution of plants in the snow mountain. Starting from the meadow at an altitude of 3,000 meters, you will pass through tall and straight pine forests and fir trees. There are clumps of rhododendron forests, and at altitudes above 4,000 meters, only moss plants attached to the rocks can be seen, and finally there is a vast expanse of white snow. When you arrive at the upper station of the cableway, walk out of the station building of the cableway station and step into the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier Park. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a snow mountain with modern glaciers at the lowest latitude in Eurasia. At its eastern foot, there are four phases of Pleistocene ancient glaciation relics distributed in the Glacier Park, which is 15-16 kilometers long from north to south and 4-5 kilometers wide from east to west, but there is a small but complete and diverse modern glacier and The remains of ancient glaciers can be said to condense the main essence of low- and middle-latitude mountain glaciers around the world. They are very rare in my country. They play an extremely important role in glacier research, ecological environment protection, tourism, and scientific investigation and research.
Big Cableway: About 5 kilometers west of Ganhaizi Visitor Center, you will come to the lower station at the foot of the Snow Mountain. This is the starting point of the Snow Mountain Big Cableway, a dense virgin forest. The altitude here is 3356 meters, and the cableway runs upwards from here to the upper station directly below the main peak of the snow mountain, Fandiao, where the altitude is 4506 meters. The total length of the cableway is 2914 meters, and the vertical height difference is 1150 meters. It is the highest tourist passenger cableway in my country. The cableway adopts a 6-seater luxury detachable fully enclosed gondola, which is safe and comfortable. Your trip will start from the vast forest at the lower station to the snowy snow at the upper station. The running time in the middle is only half an hour, but you feel like you have experienced the four seasons. Strong seasonal changes, differences in temperature and scenery, will make you excited. Because Yulong Snow Mountain is a very high subtropical mountain in Yunnan, from the foot of the mountain to the peak, it has a complete vertical natural landscape of subtropical, temperate to frigid, and you can experience it in a very short time.
Safety Tips: The temperature in this place is relatively low, so tourists are advised to bring thick clothes. As for whether oxygen cylinders are needed, it varies from person to person. Generally, young people should not need them, but older tourists need to prepare.
Blue Moon Valley, Baishui River: Blue Moon Valley, formerly known as "White Water River". On sunny days, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley. The name Baishui River is because the mud at the bottom of the lake is white, and the water will turn white when it rains, so it is also called Baishui River.

Lover's Beach:
(If you will stay one more day in Lijiang, I suggest Shuhe Ancient Town + Tea Horse Ancient Road)
Shuhe Ancient Town, known as "Shaowu" in Naxi language, was formed because the Jubao Mountain behind the village is shaped like a peak piled up, and the village is named after the mountain. One of the earliest settlements is an important well-preserved market town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. It is also a living specimen of the Naxi ancestors' transition from farming civilization to commercial civilization. It is a model of market town construction formed by opening up to the outside world and caravan activities.
Entering Shuhe Village, you can go straight to Shuhe Central Market, where you will have a feeling of deja vu. This is a square similar to Square Street in the ancient city of Dayan Town, with an area of about 250 square meters. It is also called Shuhe Square Street. It was very lively in the days of Lijiang, and it used to be the distribution center of Lijiang fur trade. The square is surrounded by shops, with old wooden facades and dark red paint. There are also the black and bright bluestone in front of the store, the mottled stone slope road under the feet, and the old people sitting idle, which outline the simple and natural nature of Shuhe. Standing in the center of the square, you can observe carefully that Sifang Street in the ancient city of Dayan is completely a replica of Shuhe. The Naxi people have changed from nomadic to farming and then to the city. From here you can find some traces. Walking 100 meters north along Shuhe Street, you can find the source of the stream "Jiuding Longtan". The water in the pool is transparent and clear, springing up day and night. The furnishings in the temple are no different from other temples in the ancient city, but there is a "Sansheng Palace" pavilion at the corner of the source, which is a traditional courtyard house, which enshrines the patriarch of the cobbler. Because it is the pride of Shuhe people, there are many skilled leather craftsmen here, and it is also an important fur distribution place.

The water in the pool is crystal clear, the water plants dance gracefully, the fish swim freely, and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is reflected in it. Snow mountain reflection. There is a cut-off stele beside the pool, the age of which cannot be traced. If it is struck with a stone, it will make a crisp sound.
There is a temple at the upper end of Longtan, named "Three Sages Palace". The foundation of the east building directly enters the water, and there are corridors on three sides for visitors to lean on the railing to overlook. Especially on a moonlit night, climbing a building to admire the moon is the most delicious. The literati often recite poems and paint pictures on the moon, which is passed down as a good story. This scene is called "Longmen Watching the Moon" in the Eight Scenic Spots of Shuhe.
The Ancient Tea Horse Road Museum: In 680 AD, the Tubo Southern Expedition established the "Shenchuan Dudu Mansion" in Lijiang, and the Ancient Tea Horse Road began: Tang Minghuang banned tea from Tibet, which promoted the entry of Yunnan tea into Tibet; the military needs of the Song Dynasty stimulated the "tea" Therefore, from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties to modern times, the Ancient Tea Horse Road has become the link of economic and cultural exchanges between Yunnan, Tibet and Sichuan.
The Ancient Tea-Horse Road starts in southern Yunnan, passes through Dali, Lijiang, Diqing, and Lhasa, and ends in India. It runs through the "Three Parallel Rivers" and "Shangri-La" regions with the most charming cultural and natural scenery in western China, which is particularly attractive.
