I changed to a new unit with winter and summer vacations, so I can finally have more time to travel. Although there are more people and more expensive holidays, it is better than nothing. . . It's time to travel alone for the first time in my life. I decided to go to Yunnan according to my discretion. First, I have been to Kundali once and I know Yunnan fairly well. Second, I feel that Yunnan is relatively safe. . . It's also very cool to do a strategy and book a hotel by yourself without having to discuss with others. . .

This time in Yunnan, I wanted to go to Tengchong, Xishuangbanna or Shangri-La, but when I transferred from Tengchong to Banna or Shangri-La, I still had to go back to Kunming or Dali, and I bought an outbound ticket from Beijing to Kunming. Banna and Shangri-La will be reserved for direct flights in the future. .


Main itinerary: Beijing-Kunming-Dali-Tengchong-Chengdu-Beijing


DAY1, July 18: Beijing to Kunming, 07:45-13:30, Sichuan Airlines, stop at Chongqing Wanzhou Airport.

Flying to the south, I stopped twice in Chongqing, both of which were small and medium-sized airports surrounded by mountains, and a beautiful small Air China plane was parked. . Afraid of the loneliness during the trip, I bought a book in advance. I like this kind of novels, prose and mood monologues.

One person pulls a 26-inch suitcase, the plane transfers to the train, and the train transfers to the bus. Only I know the pain. I swear that I will never carry such a large suitcase by myself in the future. . .

It is very convenient to take the Airport Express from Kunming Changshui Airport to the urban area, as long as you distinguish between Express Line A and Line B, do not get on the wrong train, and the whole journey is 25 yuan. . .

Because the original plan was for one person throughout the whole journey, the accommodation reservations were all based on economy. Stay in Kunming for one night, and take the train to Dali the next day.

Accommodation in Kunming: Kunming Yuguang Art Hotel looks like it has several floors in a commercial building. Although it looks ordinary on the outside, the room is really clean, with a simple layout, and the area is not small. Gentle, tell me that a newly opened shortcut from the hotel to the train station is only more than 200 meters away. When I came here, I dragged my suitcase and walked for more than 1 kilometer. .

In advance, I have taken a look at an Internet-famous chicken offal buffet shop (Apengji Qianjiang Chicken Offal), but it is only 28 yuan for one person to eat the buffet, so let’s just go for it, but the taste is not bad.



DAY2, July 19, Kunming-Dali, the train takes 2 hours, and there are many trains about 1 hour.

Because I want to spend two more days in Dali after leaving Banna, I really didn’t feel the beauty of Erhai Lake during the first trip to Kundali, let’s experience it again. . . It was still very painful to book a sea view room for one person, but fortunately I was not disappointed. . . The inn is not booked in Shuanglang and Dali Ancient City. These two Internet celebrity photo spots and tourist gathering places are enough for me to go once if I don’t take pictures. . The inn is in the old town near Xiaguan. There are relatively few tourists here, and this time I just want to stay quietly at the Erhai Lake for two days, to see the metasequoia in the Erhai Lake. When I am tired, I will be in a daze in my sea view room. Erhai Lake is warm in spring and flowers are blooming. .

Accommodation in Dali: Dali Moss Seaview Inn, two nights (16 yuan by taxi from Dali Railway Station to the inn). I stayed for two nights and felt very good. The main thing is that it is clean. The Mediterranean-style decoration is very romantic. The breakfast has my favorite rice noodles. .

The inn is on the edge of Erhai Wetland Park. In the evening, I walked along the side of the park for nearly two hours. I decided to live here because I had learned about the Metasequoia in the Wetland Park in advance.

Some waterfowls are just not clearly photographed by mobile phones. .

Knowing all kinds of ways to go around the Erhai Lake, parading around the Erhai Lake is the best. . (In fact, only this area can swim)

For a free park, this view is not bad. Get out of the inn and walk south along the Erhai Lake, pass the Wetland Park and then walk along the Erhai Lake until you feel that you will not be able to go back any further before turning back. . The bad thing about this inn is that there are no places to eat around. The little sister at the front desk said that they also order takeaways when they eat rice noodles by themselves. . In the Wetland Park, I saw a big sister who sold stinky tofu for five yuan. It was not bad, but it didn’t smell bad. The chili noodles were sliced ​​in the middle of the baked tofu block, and I really liked this kind of street food from all over the world.



DAY3, July 20, Dali Xizhou Ancient Town, Haitong Wetland Park

I walked from the inn to Dali North Bus Station early in the morning and bought a ticket to Xizhou, which was very cheap at 8 yuan. There are many long-distance buses at the North Bus Station that can go to many places in this province and other provinces. It took more than 1 hour to drive to Xizhou. . Coming to Xizhou is also a strategy. Xizhou is a place where Dali retains more Bai customs, and other places have basically no traces of ethnic minorities.

I came earlier, and it was raining intermittently that morning. There were not many people when we arrived in the ancient town, and the stone floor was wet, which was a standard feeling of an ancient town. .

Strolling casually in Xizhou, the ancient town is not small, and the front-facing houses are used for business, and the aborigines live behind them. Unintentionally walked to this small courtyard, and was stunned by the vegetation inside, which made the widows who love succulents envious. .



This small shop selling ceramics in the ancient town is also super cute, but the fragile items are really inconvenient to take with you long distances, you can only look at them.

Xizhou Baba, which is very famous in Xizhou Ancient Town, bought a big one with pork, and after eating less than half of it, I took it back to the inn and threw it away.

The last time I came to Yunnan to eat milk fans left a deep impression on Mr. Zhu. It is something that I will never eat again in my life. This time I bought a copy (5 yuan) in Xizhou and thought it was not bad with some honey on it. .

There are a few small shops selling homemade handmade jewelry. There are many varieties and they are very beautiful. The price is not cheap.

This house is the symbol of Xizhou. . .

I took a bouncing car from Xizhou Ancient Town to Haitong Park, and carpooled with a middle-aged couple from Guangdong. Both of them are teachers.

They are a very interesting couple who travel during the summer vacation. They are still in their 50s and are still having a bad temper. . Three people and one car pulled us from Xizhou to the gate of Haitong Park, waited an hour and then pulled us back to the ancient town. It cost 20 yuan per person. I really lamented the simplicity of the people of Yunnan. .


I came to Haitong Park because I saw photos of Metasequoia on the Internet, and I like the broken beauty of dead trees forming various natural postures in the water. . I just walked around the tongue, and only found a small area with metasequoia, and I didn't see any of the photos on the Internet. . An area was circled at the tip of the tongue, and some props for Internet celebrities to take pictures were placed. The fee was 5 yuan per person, which had no chance with me. .


It is enough to walk around Haitong Park for an hour. When I came out, I found a small shop selling souvenirs at the door. There are many interesting small objects, which look better than the park. Haha just love these little things. .

I bought a painting of the God of Wealth with armor and horse skills for Mr. Zhu, thank you very much. .

If this felt hat is worn on the street in winter, it is absolutely invincible. . .

Back at the front desk of the inn, my sister said that there is a dinner delivery event today, which was not included in the room I booked. Seeing that it is inconvenient for me to eat alone, I will also give me a dinner. I am touched. . . Steam pot chicken (the color of this soup should be local free-range chicken, eat all the content, the soup is really endless), small fried pork and a local vegetarian dish similar to fungus. Boss, you asked me about my taste. Did you make dinner, why is it my favorite. .



DAY4, July 21, Dali-Tengchong, 5 hours long-distance bus. . The bus ticket booked by Ctrip is 188 yuan, and it is also responsible for door-to-door pick-up. When I came, I saw that it was a 7-seater commercial vehicle, which was very comfortable. . . Along the way, it rained lightly and moderately intermittently for a total of six or seven times. It is also a pleasure to watch the scenery along the way and the rising clouds and mists in the valley. Sure enough, the scenery is always on the road. .

Accommodation in Tengchong: Tengchong Huaman Hotel, three nights. The inns in Heshun Ancient Town basically have two floors. The second floor is more expensive than the first floor. I chose Huaman because it is clean and the price is moderate. The innkeeper is a girl in her 20s with a very straightforward personality. At that time, Heshun Ancient Town had very strict ticket checks. She picked me up at the main entrance of Heshun on an electric bicycle, and hunched over my big suitcase in front and me in the back. She walked half the ancient town and pulled me to the inn from the back door. Later, I learned that Mr. Zhu flew to Tengchong at night, and arranged a car to take Mr. Zhu back to the hotel from the airport for free. . The most important thing is to send two tickets to the lotus hot spring, worth more than 500 yuan, let us soak in the hot spring beautifully. .

The owner of the inn raised a docile big golden retriever and a cage of cats, living in the mountains and rivers, cats, cats and dogs every day. . .

It rained for four consecutive days in Heshun, which made me, who likes rainy days, feel a little annoying. . . I didn’t expect that there would be so few tourists in the ancient town during the summer vacation. Walk around quietly and look at the small shops. It’s not a stop-by-stop check-in style. It’s not like finding a beach facing the sea every day. Humanities and leisure are the best. My favorite way to travel. .


Meeting Mr. Zhu smoothly, eating the first decent meal in these four days was also the beginning of a skyrocketing meal fee. . . I only spent 130 yuan on food and drink alone for four days, which is two hundred yuan less for this meal. . I wanted to eat the local special copper scoop beef, so I chose the most popular mother's taste and ordered a group meal. The beef is delicious. . .

A boy who paints walls, I feel that these people are too talented. . .

Looking at the Miao Village in Guizhou, the filming location of this season in Longing for Life, Huang Lei found it very fresh to use pits to cook. . When I entered this pottery shop, there was actually a pit for decoration.

Rattan weaving is also a local specialty, the handwork is very fine, and each piece is very beautiful, but the price is not cheap, so I hesitated to buy it. .

Walking down the street from the inn is the morning market. The locals buy at this morning market, and it only opens for half a day and closes at noon. After looking at it, there is nothing unusual. There are many chicken fir oil, and it is said that there is no chicken fir fungus in it. .

A breakfast in the town, two bowls of shredded bait, one deep-fried dough stick and one piece of grilled bait only cost more than 20 real money, which is too cheap. . .



DAY5, July 22, Tengchong one-day tour

I reported a one-day tour on Ctrip, including Volcano Geopark, Columnar Joints, Heiyu River, and Beihai Wetland Park. . After knowing that there are hot air balloons in Volcano Park, I was very excited. In the end, because of the light rain, the hot air balloons could not take off. It seems that the dream of hot air balloons can only stay in romantic Turkey.

It's boring to see that the Dakongshan volcano is just a big crater, but I think it's not bad. . Climbing up to the crater, the air is full of fresh rain, mud and vegetation, so that the emotions of not sitting in a hot air balloon are washed away.

Columnar joints are a naturally formed landscape, get off the car and take a look, then go to Heiyu River.


There are many macaques entrenched on a big tree not far from the Heiyu River. I saw tourists jumping over to snatch them with bananas in their hands. Many people brought a group of monkeys to feed them with food. Unfortunately, I don’t like monkeys. .

The same water source of the Heiyu River flows through two paths at this boundary, one side is clear and the other side is turbid.

The small grilled fish in the Heiyu River is said to be only found in this river, and it tastes delicious for ten yuan a piece. .

On the way from Heiyu River to Beihai Wetland Park, I found a farmhouse for lunch. The copper pot rice is super delicious. The local small potatoes have a different taste, and the content is not only on the surface, but also rich in the inside. .

The tempura version of the lotus leaf tip is still missing the taste when I return to Beijing. Unfortunately, there is no lotus leaf tip sold in Beijing. I want to find a place with a lot of lotus leaves to pick some up and fry it at home. . .

This fried chicken fir mushroom is 108 yuan. After watching so many food programs, I know that the chicken fir mushroom is the most delicious when it is half-opened. It is time to combine the theory with practice. . Taste it carefully, savor it carefully, the sweetness is just an illusion. . .

Stir-fried Chuanxiong with beef. The first time I ate Chuanxiong, it turned out to be the taste of celery, and the taste was stronger, but I love all the strange smells. .

The local bitter gourd wanted to taste this unknown species, but Mr. Zhu didn't eat bitter gourd. . .

In the afternoon, we arrived at the Beihai Wetland, a very cool place, but it was a bit freezing in this slanting wind and drizzle.


I want to play with bamboo rafts, but Mr. Zhu doesn’t want to, hey. .

This back view reminds me of a song, summer blown by the wind. . .

The tour guide kindly added the scenic spot of Baili lotus. As soon as we arrived at the place, it rained heavily. We walked in the lotus pond with an umbrella against the wind and rain. The scenery was really beautiful and I was completely integrated into the rain. .

Go back to the inn to take a shower and change clothes and continue to wander, just can't stay. . . Went to the Zhongtian Temple in the back mountain

In the evening, I continued to eat at a popular restaurant. The small potatoes still did not disappoint, and the taste of Puer beef was even better. . Whoever said that going to an Internet celebrity restaurant may not feel good but it will not step on the thunder, it is true.



DAY6, July 23rd, soak in lotus hot spring

Early in the morning, take the hot spring bus directly from the entrance of the ancient town to the hot spring. It is said that the lotus hot spring has the most vegetation, and it is true. There are more than 20 pools of different sizes, which one is the feeling of private soup. When did people who couldn't soak in hot springs start to like bathing in hot springs? .

This picture was commented by a person who has basically no contact with me in the circle of friends. I can click on the picture to see the size of my belly. Do you love me? . . I wanted to turn my lips back and then forget it, Buddha. .

Going back to Heshun Ancient Town and continuing to develop places that have not been visited, I took this favorite photo in the light rain. . . I went to the pavilion to shelter from the rain and saw the inscription inside. It was a local overseas Chinese who came back in his later years and funded the construction of this underwater pavilion.



DAY7, July 24th, Heshun Ancient Town. Baoshan fly to Chengdu at night

There is a rice noodle shop at the bottom of the street in the inn. Two bowls of rice noodle mixed with beef offal cost more than 50 yuan. . .

I said that every time I go to a place, I take a picture of holding hands, why do I always forget it? . .

After checking out on the last day, I found a coffee shop in the ancient town to kill time in the afternoon. There are three floors. The small terrace on the top floor is also good to sit and have a cup of coffee when the weather is good. .

It kept raining. . Mr. Zhu bought his favorite Nanhong bracelet. .



DAY8, July 25th, drinking tea in Du Fu Thatched Cottage and People’s Park

Accommodation in Chengdu: Splendid Mandarin Hotel (Chengdu Jinli Wuhouci Branch), two nights. I chose this hotel because it is in the city center, close to popular attractions, and the price is not expensive. The room is not small and hygienic, and there are many buses around. It is very convenient to go everywhere.

If you don’t come to Chengdu, you really don’t know how many people there are in Heshun Ancient Town. It turns out that Chengdu is such a popular city. . . Between Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Thatched Cottage, I chose to go to Du Fu Thatched Cottage.


Drinking tea is a symbol of the leisurely life of Chengdu people, let's experience it too. . . The area where people drink tea in People's Park is already overcrowded. It seems that they are all tourists. We can't find a teahouse where real Chengdu people drink tea. . .

After walking around, there was finally a seat available. I ordered two gaiwancha without melon seeds, and I had to buy a bag of chacha from the small shop next to it. . . Or Zhuyeqing is the best drink, sweating while drinking cups of tea in the open air during the dog days, Ba Shi. .

There are more people in Jinli at night, and they eat several kinds of snacks for dinner. The nightlife of Chengdu people is also quite rich.

I really like shadow puppets, and I must buy a pair when I see them next time I travel. .

The little boy who sings at the entrance of Wuhou Temple at night, if his face value is higher, the Douyin will probably become popular.



DAY9, July 26, Kuanzhai Alley

On the second day, we continued to visit the popular Kuanzhai Alley, where there were many people, many people, many people

Near Kuanzhai Alley, there is an online celebrity sugar oil fruit called Master Yang. It costs 4 yuan a bunch and is delicious. .

A Sichuan restaurant next to Du Fu Thatched Cottage, the place is very big and there are many people, but the waiting time is not long. The three dishes, only husband and wife lung slices, are not bad. Why are mapo tofu made with sauce?

Maojiao hot Kuanzhai alley store, another Internet celebrity shop waiting in line, the rabbit waist and the crispy mouth are the first time to eat super delicious, the pig brains that I love are so-so, including the pigs on the side of the road I don't even think it's as delicious as Dacheng's drunken skewers. . . It costs 6 cents for skewers, and I still feel very cheap after eating and checking out.



DAY10, July 27, Mount Qingcheng

Accommodation in Chengdu: Chengdu Xipu Tianhe Atour Light Hotel, two nights.

I plan to go to Qingcheng Mountain for a day, because the train to Qingcheng Mountain departs from Xipu Station, and the last two nights in Chengdu will be changed to near Xipu. I chose Atour, who I love a lot, because I'm used to my favorite style. . .

I bought a small set of travel cups and brought them out for the first time. .

There is a noodle restaurant near the hotel. Mr. Zhu’s favorite noodle with miscellaneous sauce is served with eel that he misses so much.


There are also a lot of people in Qingcheng Mountain. It is free for the elderly. Many elderly people come to play early in the morning. When we go up the mountain, they are already returning.

The murals on the stone wall when the Qingcheng cableway goes up the mountain. . . From the planned uphill and downhill walks, to the uphill cableway and downhill walk to see the scenery, and finally up and down the whole cableway, it is still hot and tired. Tickets for Mount Qingcheng plus the cableway are not cheap, and the scenic spots in Chengdu feel more expensive. . .





DAY11, July 28, Chengdu-Beijing

I dried a volcanic stone flowerpot bought from Heshun Ancient Town, and matched it with my favorite dendrobium. So far, the moss on the pot has completely dried up, and the flowers are half wilted. I know that this flower will not survive in the north, but I still want to try it. . .


In terms of cost: a total of 12,264 yuan (excluding hand companions, n many hot pot bases and gadgets)

Outbound air ticket Return high-speed rail, Tengchong-Chengdu air ticket: 6080 yuan

Other transportation: 820 yuan

Ten-night stay: 3078 yuan

Meal: 1420 yuan

Attractions: 866 yuan


PS: This is my first travel note, I hope it can be helpful to the friends I saw, and also give myself a more detailed memory. . . All the photos were taken by mobile phones, and some of them were posted on Moments with beautiful pictures to adjust the color (by the way, making complaints about the photos of Apple X makes people want to drop the phone every minute). . . Friends who like to travel can chat with me on WeChat: lulu790530
