How should I put it, I don’t really want to write this travel note, but I feel that it’s a pity not to record such a large-scale trip every year. This is an imperfect trip, and it can be regarded as summing up some experience and lessons to remind everyone to avoid falling into the pit. Because each of the three families brought two children this time, all positioning is light luxury leisure travel, focusing on comfort.

transportation:

The plane chooses the Economy Pearl Class of China Southern Airlines. If you book one month in advance, you can grab the Pearl Class at the price of the economy class. It is comfortable, spacious, and not noisy. It is highly recommended. Moreover, there will be discounts on the official website, which is more convenient than other platforms, and it is easy to cancel or change tickets. It is recommended to book on the official website.

Transportation in Yunnan: Choose a chartered car. Because there are many children, I choose to charter a car to travel. As a team that chooses chartered cars for long-term travel, this time they encountered new problems. In order to let the children play together, we chose to pack a 15-seater car, but this choice has made us miserable. From Kunming to Dali, and from Dali to Tengchong, all large vehicles have a speed limit. Basically, if you drive according to the rules, you can only drive at an average speed of 50 miles per hour, which is more than 300 kilometers. If you have to drive for a day, it will really kill people. At that time, the driver did not explain the situation to us. He only told us that it would take about 5 hours to complete the journey. The 5 hours were driven by a driver who was familiar with various cameras on the expressway. The one assigned to us was a cautious female driver who followed the rules along the way. Open, sitting so that all of us have sore backs and backs, and we haven't reached our destination yet. In addition, Yunnan is a mature tourist area. There are many chartered drivers and they are very large-scale. There is no need to book a car in advance, because even if you book in advance, they will just go ahead and then transfer to other drivers or other teams if the time is not right. . The owner of the inn also has a lot of resources at hand, and it will not be expensive to book a car at the inn, because the price is already very transparent. On the contrary, he did not find the right person when he booked in advance. Intermediary fees, hey, a long lesson.

Eat: There are a lot of food in Yunnan, most of which are fungus, and some of them commented on $ or a certain group, and the recommendations are still reliable.

Accommodation: There are too many choices of accommodation, and it is difficult to make a decision if there are too many choices. We also spend the most time on this, but we are still very satisfied with the hotels we finally booked. If there are not many people, you can make a reservation when you arrive at the place. You can make a reservation at any time, and it is cheaper than booking online in advance, because the occupancy rate is not particularly high. We in Shunhe Ancient Town have booked a B&B in the ancient town. The design and decoration are good, and the location can also be driven to a place about 100m away from the inn. The owner is not a local, but he is very enthusiastic, because there are 12 people living in a whole building with 5 rooms Just right, comfortable and at ease, drinking tea and chatting, the children are also happy to play together without disturbing other people, recommend 4 stars. I chose the Rushi 270-degree room on Jinsuo Island for the Erhai Lake. The price/performance ratio is very good, and the view is super punctual. There are so many Erhai hotels, it is very difficult to choose. Those who want to see Cangshan and Erhai Lake should live on the east coast, and those who want to watch the sunrise of Erhai Lake live on the west coast. The accommodation conditions in Shuanglang on the east coast are the best, but they are also expensive. Sea-view rooms that are really facing the sea cost 2k. Finally, I chose Jinsuo Island, which is close to Quse. There are not many hotels on Jinsuo Island, and the surrounding environment has not been rehabilitated. , The pier is also messy, and the road to the hotel is a bit difficult to walk. I was very disappointed when I first landed on the island. But the twists and turns, the hotel made us feel very amazing, just next to the water color, although not as tall as the water color decoration, but the interior is also very design sense, the 270-degree sea view room on the third floor, the view is super invincible and punctual (water color is not There may be 270) It is really a high-level visual enjoyment to lie in the bathtub at night and look at Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. And most importantly, the price may be one-third cheaper than other hotels near the water. The recommendation index is 5 stars. The third hotel is Heshun Anxin Inn in Shunhe Ancient Town. The inn is facing the Wild Duck Lake, living on the third floor, and you can have a panoramic view of the Wild Duck Lake and the whole town. The things in the hotel are very high-end, electric toilets, toilets with heating, laundry detergent is Blue Moon, anyway, all kinds of supplies are very good, and the breakfast is not the same every day. But there is a disadvantage that the owner of the inn is not a local. If you live in their hotel, if you are met by the gatekeeper of the ancient town, you have to buy a ticket for the ancient town. In addition, the owner speaks very bluntly, but his heart is good. Maybe he was born like this. We stayed here For three days, I didn't understand it for the first time at the beginning, but after more contact, I understood it. The recommendation index is 5 stars. The last hotel is in Dali. As a transit point from Tengchong back to Kunming, the location is based on convenience. It does not look at the scenery, but it must be hygienic and clean. So I chose a hotel called Awakened by Birds outside the ancient city. The hotel is located in a small village. The decoration has a sense of design, but I feel that I care too much about the design and don’t consider the practicality. Except for the twin room, other big bed rooms are only suitable for couples. , The hotel still feels good, the public area is large and comfortable, but the room is average, overall it is okay, the recommendation index is 4 stars.

first day:

The three families took planes from Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Chaozhou to Kunming Airport to gather. We booked the earliest and departed to the airport at 5 o'clock. The children were very cooperative and arrived smoothly. The time for the scheduled air ticket was approaching, and we gathered at 11 in the morning, but the driver was unreliable, so he went to wait for us at the gate 3 where we departed from the country. After tossing for a long time, she detoured the car from upstairs to pick us up downstairs. The car that came was not the car we ordered, and she lied to us that the car we had agreed was broken and had to be maintained. Forget it, we left the airport slowly at almost 12 o'clock. Originally, we wanted to have dinner near the airport before leaving. The driver insisted that we pass by a small ancient town on the highway, where we can play and eat, and we will arrive in more than an hour. I believed her and fell into a pit. I arrived at the edge of a small town at almost three o'clock. There was no one there. I was half-dizzy from hunger. I ate hot pot. Fortunately, the food was so-so, not bad. It was almost three o'clock after eating, and the car swayed to the ancient town. It was still dark when we arrived in the ancient town, but it was already past 7 o'clock. After packing up, we went to the fresh steam stone pot fish recommended by the innkeeper. We ate a lot of mushrooms. The taste is not bad, and the price is acceptable. After eating, I took a stroll around the ancient town. The ancient town is not big, and roads are built everywhere, and there are many sellers. The commercialization is serious, and the impression is very general. After a cursory stroll, I went back to the hotel to play cards. The advantage of renting out the whole building is that everyone can enjoy chatting and playing in the inn, which is good.

the next day

I got up early in the morning and wandered around the ancient city with my two children. The ancient city in the morning is much more comfortable than at night, but I didn’t feel much. Anyway, I feel that the ancient town of Dali was fired, and it was not as good as expected. I was disappointed. In the ancient city, I ate Qiaoxiangyuan Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles, which was not bad. After eating, set off to play the Erhai Lake Ring Road. Because the car on the first day was really not good, I changed to two Baojuns today, but the driver was obviously hired temporarily, and he was not good at scenic spots at all, so he could only be used as a driver. The first stop is the Three Pagodas. For those of us who grew up watching Jin Yong's novels, there is still a plot for the former Dali Kingdom. Of course, the Three Pagodas have to go in and wander around. And it was very fateful to meet a little tour guide full of stories. The men were attracted by the tour guide they met by chance. Listening to him tell the history of Dali, the legend of the Three Pagodas, and the prototype of Jin Yong's story, it took several hours to listen. It was already past 12 noon when I came out, so I went here to look for food after taking photos. The driver recommended a restaurant along the way. There was no one there, and I thought it was the wrong restaurant. After eating, I found out that it was not delicious, so there was no one. It was the worst and most expensive meal I had this time. The driver’s recommendation is from a certain group’s Dachacha review, or the innkeeper’s recommendation, and you can eat anything afterwards. After eating, go to Xizhou, Xizhou is a small town, the weather is too hot, so we took a small yellow car, and the first point took us to Houlu, the old rich man’s house here before, and then wandered to many so-called scenic spots , nothing interesting. The family came out from Xizhou at 5 o'clock, so I decided to walk around the sea road to Jinsuo Island to stay. We didn't know that this day was the only sunny day in our trip. If we knew it earlier, we would have gone straight to Shuanglang to go to the concave shape. After checking in, according to the hotel owner, I went to the island to eat. It was not bad, and the home-cooked food of the Bai people was not expensive, so I was satisfied. After eating, return to the hotel to take a bath and fall asleep comfortably.

third day

I opened the curtains on the bed early in the morning, and saw that it was foggy and the Cangshan Mountain was hidden. It was raining heavily, and there was no other way, even the hotel’s photo props were useless, so I could only sleep in the room and watch the rain scene, and I lost sight of the 270-degree sea view for nothing. At noon, depart from the island to Tengchong Heshun Ancient Town. Because the two Baojuns I changed the day before were not comfortable and the drivers were unprofessional, I changed to a large Ford. This time it is comfortable to sit on, but this car becomes slow when it gets on the highway. It’s not that the car can’t move, but the speed is limited. It’s dark in Hesuntian, and no one opens the door directly into the ancient town. Inn. Fortunately, the landscape, sanitation and comfort of the inn are satisfactory to us, which is a bit of comfort. In the evening, I randomly found something to eat near the inn. Because the small shop was short of staff, I waited for more than an hour to eat it. It was already 10 o'clock after eating, and I was sweating.

fourth day

Because of the rain, the most suitable is to soak in hot springs. There are different opinions about Tengchong hot springs. The most famous one is the big rolling pot, but because it became famous early and developed early, it is said that the facilities and services are average. Its biggest advantage is that it is close to the spring, and the hot spring has a strong sulfur smell. It is said that it is very slippery after soaking. The second place is Angsana Hot Spring, which was developed by Angsana Group. The environment is good and the service is relatively in place. The hot spring is said to be improved, and the hot spring water is more suitable for human skin than the sulfur-flavored hot spring. In view of the large number of children, I considered choosing the one with high comfort, so I went to Angsana. In the morning, no one is there, and the venue is almost reserved. The environment is very good, but there are not many open pools, but it is enough. The kids don’t care, as long as there is water to play, they can be happy when it rains. Adults feel it is average, because the feeling of water is nothing. In particular, there are many hot springs here in Guangdong, and there is not much difference. I regret not choosing a big boiling pot. After coming out to have a full meal, we went to the Western Dian Memorial Hall. This is also a must-see check-in point. Recalling the battle situation at the border back then, it can also be regarded as an education for the children. Return to the ancient town to have a meal and then go back to the inn to rest. The night coincided with the birthday of the second boy, and the children ate cake and got high again, and went to bed.

fifth day

It's raining, it's still raining, the hot air balloon can't sit, and I gave up the trip to the geological park. Get up early in the big boiling pot to watch the spring and eat eggs. The long-famous big rolling pot is the only highlight of this itinerary. Winding up along the mountain road, the springs all the way are smoking, and the smoke is lingering, like entering a fairyland. It takes 20 minutes to cook eggs in a large boiling pot on the top of the mountain, because there are too many people opening the lid. In the end, we wisely found a small stone crevice where a small spring emerged and put it directly on it to cook, which is convenient and fast. After eating, go down the mountain. There is a hot spring at the foot of the mountain. It should be the hot spring for the joint ticket. I didn’t go there because of the limited time. It was raining, and the itinerary was revised again. After eating, we went to the ancient town to rest. After so many days in and out of the ancient town, I haven’t met anyone who collects tickets. I was so depressed on the last day. We have to buy tickets. It’s not worth buying tickets for those of us who are ready to leave. So I asked the innkeeper for help. The boss opened two The car came to pick us up, without any luggage, and entered the town smoothly with the local license plate, but it was delayed for a long time. After returning, some of us women came out to hang out, and the men drank tea at the inn. Heshun Ancient Town is a relatively well-protected ancient town. It cannot be commercialized, and there are few people. It is very comfortable to wander around, and the scenery is also beautiful. Walking on the small stone road, looking at the houses with historical traces on both sides, the troubles in my heart are temporarily forgotten. I didn't go to the scenic spots in the ancient town, and it was very pleasant to wander around casually. I really like this border town. It's not bad to eat at the No. 1 mom's taste at night.

sixth day

Because Shuanglang, the No. 1 town in Erhai Lake, has not been visited, I feel unwilling, so I plan to leave for Shuanglang early. We set off at 8 o'clock in the morning. The boss steamed corn eggs and steamed buns for us, and took them with us in the car. But the big car is really too slow, the driver is also honestly keeping 50 yards, speechless speechless speechless! In order to save time at noon, I ate instant noodles at the service station, and I still arrived at Shuanglang at 4 o'clock in a hurry. It was raining, and the two corridors were not as good as imagined, and it was a pity to come or not to come. At the end of the double corridor is Yuji Island, another check-in point that also collects money. After entering, I was very disappointed, because the appearance of Yang Liping's house in the restaurant is not fun. But it’s all here, and it seems that I can’t justify not entering Yuji Island. The island’s view of Cangshan Mountain in the rain is still very beautiful, a pair of ink and wash landscape paintings.

seventh day

I woke up naturally in the morning, and departed for Kunming at ten o'clock. I thought I had a lot of time to go to another scenic spot, but I didn't expect to go all the way. I had lunch at noon and arrived at the airport at six o'clock. The timing was just right.

tip

1. Places like Dali and Tengchong do not have many hard dishes, so they are suitable for a daze, and it is more suitable for couples. Commercialization is very serious, there are many inns, and there are not many people, so you can go to the scene to make a reservation.

2. July is the rainy season, many places are not suitable for playing when it rains, only suitable for eating mushroom hot pot

3. Try not to move places when traveling with children

4. For cars, be sure to find out the high-speed speed limits of various models. There are a lot of cars, you can book directly with the inn.
