This is a late travel note. I am not procrastinating, but I went to Fukuoka (Kitakyushu) in July. After I came back, I wrote the travel notes of Fukuoka first, and then prepared the preparations for the trip to Hokkaido in February. It's time to finish writing.
Haven't thought about where to go during the winter vacation? Until one day I met a primary school classmate and learned that they would travel to Kunming and Chengdu from February 15th to 22nd. At that time, I didn’t think much about it. I just checked the air tickets at night and found that the morning flight from Beijing to Kunming is 7:00, and the price is 700 yuan one way. The price is acceptable. , I acted quickly, booked the air ticket first, and took the time to tell my elementary school classmates the next morning that I would travel with her. I have already booked a Beijing-Kunming air ticket, and it is the same flight. Please let her take me to travel together. You can't see the expression, and it's true that you can't speak for a long time. It doesn't matter what you say, and I will follow her. While chatting, I asked about the itinerary by the way, the students just
I conceived a general itinerary of Beijing～Kunming～Dali～Lijiang～Lugu Lake～Lijiang～Chengdu. I booked a flight ticket from Lijiang to Chengdu on the 20th and a high-speed rail ticket from Chengdu to Beijing on the 22nd. There was no hotel reservation. , live with the situation. It doesn't matter, I'm following her anyway, just as a companion. I didn't book the air tickets from Lijiang to Chengdu or the high-speed rail tickets from Chengdu to Beijing. The reason is simple. I just took my son to visit Chengdu during the summer vacation, and my classmates went to relatives' homes. I felt that it was a bit inappropriate to follow. Before departure, I only booked a one-way ticket from Beijing to Kunming.

February 15th Beijing---Kunming Haigeng Park
Departure, my wife sent us to Beijing Capital Airport T2, waiting at the airport and the team leader round (elementary school students, we will be called the team leader from now on), the plane took off and landed on time, the team leader told me to live near the train station after arriving in Kunming today, so It is convenient to leave for Dali tomorrow morning. No problem. I will firmly obey the command. After arriving at Kunming Changshui Airport, I will take the airport bus line 2 to Jin Jiang Hotel. During the meal, the team leader searched for nearby hotels, and finally chose Kunming Pengbo Business Hotel. After discussing and confirming the train time from Kunming to Dali the next day, we walked to Kunming Pengbo Business Hotel after dinner, which is the airport express line No. 2 get off point (towards Direction to the train station), walk straight for two minutes to the hotel. The biggest advantage of the hotel is that it is close to the train station and the airport bus line 2. It takes about 3 minutes to walk. The hotel is relatively old, and the room hygiene is average. The carpet doesn't look clean, the bathroom is small, although it is equipped with toiletries, it is basically unusable, the sink has very little water flow, the towels are old and a bit torn, and no bottled water is provided. There are many restaurants, supermarkets, etc. around the hotel, and there are also many specialty products. You can see the train station when you go out. It is very convenient to get to the train station. Arrive at the hotel to check in, store your luggage, take a short rest to the bus station next to the train station and take the bus to Haigeng Park to watch the red-billed gulls. The red-billed gulls in Kunming fly here in groups from the far north for the winter in November of the first year, and fly back in March of the following year, once a year without interruption. Where did the red-billed gulls in Kunming come from? It is said that they came from Uvsu Lake in the Mongolian Republic, the Kyrgyz Lake Basin, the southern part of Lake Baikal in Russia, and the Bosten Lake Basin in Xinjiang. Cuihu Park and Haigeng Park in Kunming are the best places to watch red-billed gulls, and watching gulls in Cuihu and Haigeng has become one of the most popular sights in Kunming. Feed the seagulls in Haigeng Park, separate from my classmate’s family, take the bus back to the city to meet old friends I haven’t seen for many years, have a meal, wander around to the train station to collect tickets after dinner, and rest.

February 16, Kunming---Dali, ride an electric car to tour the Erhai Lake, Dali Ancient Town
Check out early in the morning and go to Kunming Railway Station to take the train. It takes about 2 hours to arrive at Dali Station. It is really fast now. Back then, it took a train from Kunming to Dali. In the car, the team leader booked a long vacation in the ancient city of Dali-Huayu Bieyuan, and booked this homestay. The team leader said it was because it was close to the ancient city. This inn is near the south gate of the ancient city of Dali. It is very close to the ancient city. It is more convenient to eat around and rent a car. The hotel has a garden-style courtyard with flowers and plants. The layout is very beautiful. The room is clean and tidy, and it is big enough and spacious , There are hanging chairs at the door of the room. There is no need to check the room when you check out, free mineral water is provided, and the environment of the whole hotel is good. Pay attention to two points, there are two homestays, you must be optimistic about which one you book (both are the same boss), and you can enjoy a discount on the fare for picking up the train station when you book a homestay (60 yuan for a one-way taxi from the train station to the homestay, and pick up the station when you book a room 30, but the drop-off is 60, the original price), and the journey time is about 40 minutes to reach the inn. After checking in, go to the Internet celebrity restaurant recommended by the innkeeper for dinner. After dinner, rent an electric car on the side of the road to visit Erhai Lake. Riding an electric car on the Erhai Lake is a new project in the Erhai Lake in recent years. The streets of the ancient city are full of rented electric cars. The advantage of riding an electric car is that it is more casual. You can park when you see the beautiful scenery and gourmet food. The disadvantage is that the battery of the electric car cannot support it. Running around Erhai Lake is about 140 kilometers. The electric car needs to be charged at least two or three times, so it takes two days to ride an electric car around Erhai Lake. Starting from the ancient city, the route around the sea can be divided into Huanhai West Road and Huanhai On the East Road, the must-see attractions are Butterfly Spring, Shuanglang, Quse, Xizhou, Nanzhao Style Island, Little Putuo, Yuji Island, Jinsuo Island, Haitong Park, Zhoucheng, Dali Three Pagodas, etc. According to the location of the hotel where you live around the Erhai Lake, there are only three points you need to pay attention to when renting a car. First, you must be optimistic about the appearance of the vehicle when picking up the car. You must check clearly whether there are bumps or scratches, so as to avoid trouble when returning the car. Take a picture of the car. Photos, return the car to be able to distinguish. Second, you must ask clearly about the battery life of the vehicle, and don't listen to the business's one-sided words. Three, don't deposit your ID card to rent a car, everyone knows this. While riding, I found that many places in Erhai Lake were demolishing illegal buildings, and some road conditions were not very good. Originally, according to the team leader’s idea, I had to ride Erhai Lake in two and a half days. After seeing this situation, I had to return here and gave up tomorrow. The idea of riding in the Erhai Lake in the morning was changed to leave for Lijiang tomorrow morning, and finally return. In the evening, I ate Apo La ribs. The business was hot, the taste was average, and I didn’t take pictures.

The frequency is very dense and the journey time is 30 minutes. Around, get off at the oil company, then walk downhill for about 3 minutes to reach Xiyu Bieyuan Inn in Lijiang Ancient Town. The location of this homestay is not in the center of Lijiang Ancient Town. It is clean, and the provided toiletries are almost useless. There are hot water bottles, water purifiers and electric blankets. There is a platform on the roof where you can take pictures. On a good day, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Need to remind everyone that if you take a taxi to the inn, you have to go to the oil company, and there are two inns, check the location and place an order. The bad thing is that when I entered the inn, I didn't do anything, didn't see anything, so I asked for good reviews, and after I clicked for good reviews, I started to check in, and only then did I know how the good reviews came from. Check-in free arrangement, visit the ancient city, dinner is to go to the Zhongyi Market stone pot fish, taste the mushroom pot.

The itinerary of this group is not bad, the scenic spots from Lijiang to Lugu Lake are basically visited, and the food is average, which is acceptable. The accommodation conditions are average, but they are all lake view rooms, and you can walk to the lake.

There is also a free market next to the hotel (I don't know what it is called), with fresh flowers, dried flowers, bonsai, souvenir shops, and the prices are relatively fair. On the roadside of the hotel, you can park in the courtyard. It is more convenient if you are driving by yourself. I chose this hotel mainly because it was convenient to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain the next morning (the team leader booked a one-day tour of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain online, including round-trip transportation from Lijiang City to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Spot, Glacier Park cableway ticket, scenic spot environmental protection ticket, the meeting point is at KFC at 5596 Commercial Street, Xianghe Road, Lijiang Ancient Town (next to Hefu Intercontinental Hotel), and Home Inn South Gate Hotel Lijiang Ancient Town is in the small alley diagonally opposite KFC, very close, 3 minutes walk away, and breakfast can be settled at KFC. In fact, it doesn’t matter The name you reported at the travel agency is here to take the shuttle bus of Lijiang Tourism Group to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain scenic spot. There are many kinds of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain package tickets, such as meals included, Lijiang impression included, etc. You can choose it yourself. Why do we I didn’t choose the impression of Lijiang. The customer service said that the weather forecast said that there will be rain and snow tomorrow, and the performance may be canceled. If the performance is cancelled, the fee will be refunded. We are afraid of trouble, so we directly chose the package ticket with the big cableway. Let’s talk more, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain The big ticket is purchased at the entrance of the scenic spot by yourself, and the real-name system is required. After the one-day tour of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is successfully booked, you will receive a confirmation text message, including the boarding location, time, bus number, contact number, etc. Dinner is at 5596 Xianghe Road, Lijiang Ancient Town Yun Xueli next to KFC on the street, and continued to visit the ancient city after dinner.

February 20 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
I heard the sound of raindrops at night, it's raining! Rain won't have any effect on Shangyulong Snow Mountain, will it? Waking up in the morning, the sky is overcast with light rain, and my heart is full of doubts about the trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?
In the morning, go to the KFC opposite the hotel to have breakfast, and wait here for the shuttle bus to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It departs on time at 8:00 a.m. and stops at the ancient town of Suhe. , Alipay, and cash are all acceptable, and then go to the Snow Mountain Service Center at the foot of the mountain to let everyone buy oxygen cylinders and rent coats, and finally arrive at the visitor center (Glacier Park) of Yulong Snow Mountain. The whole journey is about 50 minutes. The driver and everyone in the parking lot Wechat, tell everyone the car number, and the return time, the drop-off point is the boarding point, and then issue the big cableway ticket, which marked the time for queuing up for the big cableway, we are at 12:00, basically according to this time one hour in advance to line up Yes (depending on the number of people queuing up that day), you can’t get on the cable car if you arrive early, and you can’t reach the first ticket gate of the cable car in advance. I first took the shuttle bus from the scenic spot to Blue Moon Valley. At this time, the rain was already raining and snowing, and it was getting bigger and bigger. It was almost time to go back to the visitor center and wait in line. It took about 30 minutes to enter the waiting hall 3. Coincidentally at this time, the broadcast in the lobby sounded, announcing that the road to the big cableway station (3356) has been completely closed due to heavy snow (it takes about 15 minutes to drive from the tourist center to the big cableway cableway station by an eco-car in the scenic area, and it is all winding mountain roads. Safely stop tourists going up the hill). What a disappointment, I exited the No. 3 waiting hall and went to the counter of the visitor center to go through the refund procedures, but the procedures took a long time, mainly because there were few staff and many tourists, and I had to write my name, phone number, ID number, price, etc. by hand. The money was refunded in the original way. This is a very good job of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Scenic Area. Even the big ticket to enter the mountain is also refunded. Return to the parking lot and take the day trip bus back. At this time, the ancient city of Lijiang was also raining and snowing, so we still had dinner at Yunxueli. During the meal, I discussed with my son whether to go to Tiger Leaping Gorge the next day (I have already booked the Lijiang Transportation Group's 8:30 in the morning --- 16:00 in the afternoon return bus) or come to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain again, and my son said he would climb to the top 4680, no problem, continue to buy (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain tickets + round-trip transportation) package online. After dinner, we bid farewell to the team leader. They went to Dashuiche to take the shuttle bus from Lijiang Airport to the hotel near Lijiang Airport. They flew to Chengdu on the morning flight the next day. We returned to Lijiang Old Town Home Inn South Gate Hotel for an extra night.

February 21 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Lijiang --- Kunming
I still went to KFC for breakfast in the morning, and took the shuttle bus to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Today’s weather is strong, the sky is clear, and the itinerary is the same. The only difference is that the time to take the cable car is 10:00. It took about an hour and a half for the cable car to queue up One is the visitor center, one is the 3356 cable car station), and the cable car goes directly from 3356 to 4506. It is a pity that yesterday's heavy snow will completely cover the plank road leading to 4680, and it has not been cleared and closed until now. Have some regrets. Go down the mountain by cable car, visit the Blue Moon Valley, Ganhaizi and other scenic spots again, and return to the parking lot to take the shuttle bus back to the city. Eat near the hotel, pick up the luggage and go to Lijiang Railway Station, take the night train K9688 back to Kunming. By the way, for train K9688, I booked a soft bag for one person, which can sleep 3 people. It is very quiet and suitable for a family. While waiting for the train, I booked the K366 train from Kunming to Shilin. Visiting Shilin was a temporary uprising. It was my son who saw it.
The promotional poster of the scenic spots in Stone Forest asked me, are we here? If you want to see it, go. There is a train from Kunming to Shilin. Although it is fast, it departs from Kunming South, and K9688 arrives at Kunming Station. Kunming Station needs to transfer to Kunming South. After a total of K366, the departure time of K366 is the same as the arrival time of K9688. Almost, just enough to store luggage and have breakfast.

Have breakfast at Yonghe King next to the storage, and then plan to take K366 at 7; 30 to Shilin. It takes about an hour and a half to arrive at Shilin Station , I wanted to ask how to get to the Stone Forest Scenic Area, but I didn’t expect a girl in national costume to stand in front of a bus and loudly advertised that it was a regular bus to the Stone Forest Scenic Area. I drove right away. After asking, I found out that the shuttle bus is provided by Shilin Scenic Area. It is available at Shilin Station and Shilin West (High-speed Railway Station). of. In the car, the tour guide of the Stone Forest Scenic Area has been promoting the shuttle bus from Stone Forest to Jiuxiang. Jiuxiang Scenic Area is located in Yiliang Township, Jiuxiang, Yiliang County, 90 kilometers away from Kunming and 47 kilometers away from Yiliang County. The scenic area is dominated by cave landscapes and is famous for its six wonders. Jiuxiang Karst Cave has hundreds of large and small caves, which is the largest cave community system in China with the largest number and the most peculiar cave landscape. It is praised by experts as the Karst Cave Museum. It takes about 10 minutes to arrive at the bus station of Shilin Scenic Area. I think about it and decide to take my son for a walk. Shilin Scenic Area---Jiuxiang Scenic Area, Business 7 takes a bus, 50 round trips per person, the journey time is about 30 minutes, and the play time is 3 hours. Around, Jiuxiang Scenic Area ticket is 90 yuan, and the cableway is 30 yuan. Play around and return to Stone Forest. After dinner, go to the gate of Stone Forest Scenic Area to buy tickets. When you are about to enter the park, a local private guide is entangled and asks for an explanation, but you can’t get rid of it (it was also a request). The price is acceptable. 100 yuan, explain 2 Hours and hours, from start to finish. The explanation is good, although it is a routine. From Shilin to Shilin Bus Station, take the shuttle bus back to Kunming. It takes about one and a half hours to arrive at Kunming East Passenger Station. Everyone must remember that the last bus from the entrance of Stone Forest Scenic Spot to Kunming East Passenger Station is 18:00. When I get off the bus, there is a direct bus C73 to Kunming Station (it is also the last bus, and I should be waiting for the arrival of the last bus in Shilin). It seems that it takes an hour to arrive at the bus terminus next to Kunming Station. After getting off the bus, I wanted to go to Kunming first. Pick up your luggage at the station, and then stay at Jinjiang Hotel (convenient to take the airport bus the next day), but my son was tired and didn’t want to leave, so he looked up and saw the neon sign of Grace Select Hotel, which is at the train station (bus station) ), and a 3-minute walk away. I searched on Ctrip and found that the hotel is very new. It opened in 2018. This is it. The front desk of the hotel is on the first floor, and there is a special rest area. The guest rooms are on the 21st to 31st floors. The restaurant is also on the 21st floor. The breakfast is quite rich.
