In recent years, due to the hype in Lijiang, Dali, Shangri-La and other places, I have always wanted to go to Yunnan to have fun; this time the child is on winter vacation, and the family of three naturally embarked on a journey to the south of Caiyun.
Since this is the first time to go to Yunnan, Kunming, the spring city, is also a must-see. I looked at the map and found that Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Shangri-La are all on the same line, so I chose these 4 locations for this trip; time It is scheduled for 7 days from January 25th to 31st, 2019, which happens to be the week before the Spring Festival.
First of all, I would like to remind you that if you bring a child without an ID card, parents must bring the household registration book, which is required when buying long-distance bus tickets; if you use a passport when buying air tickets, you must also bring it with you.
Now, let's start the journey of encountering Caiyunzhinan!
First of all, let me talk about the general arrangement of the 7 days. On the first day, Shanghai Hongqiao Airport arrives at Kunming Changshui Airport; on the second day, Stone Forest Scenic Area, and arrive at Dali Ancient City in the evening; on the third day, visit Erhai Lake, and arrive at Lijiang in the evening; on the fourth day, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain , arrive at Shangri-La in the evening; on the fifth day, Pudacuo National Park, return to Lijiang in the afternoon, pass by and play Tiger Leaping Gorge; on the sixth day, visit the ancient city of Lijiang, Mufu in the morning, and arrive in Kunming in the evening; Park, shopping at Wal-Mart in the afternoon, and flying back to Shanghai Pudong Airport in the evening.
The first day: We are on the plane at 12:15 noon, so we don’t have to get up very early. We can get up at about 7 o’clock in normal times; depart from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport and arrive at Kunming Changshui Airport on time at around 3:15 p.m. Luggage, take Metro Line 6, transfer to Metro Line 3 at Dongfang Bus Station, and get off at Wuyi Road Station; considering that you will go to Shilin Scenic Area tomorrow, you will also take a long-distance bus at Dongfang Bus Station, so you will stay today Hotels near stations along Metro Line 3. Wuyi Road Station and the last station Dongfeng Square Station, near these two stations, is the city center of Kunming, very lively, so it is convenient to go shopping and eating at night; check in the hotel, take a short rest; then go to Kunming City The small scenic spot in the center - Golden Horse and Jade Rooster, walk out of the hotel and walk for 6 or 7 minutes; then eat and go back to the hotel.
Day 2: Take Metro Line 3 early in the morning and get off at Dongfang Bus Station. We come here on Wuyi Road, which takes about 3 stops, but the routes here are relatively long. I checked the time and it takes 6 , 7 minutes, and 3 stops will take 20 minutes; the east bus station is next to the station, and you can buy a long-distance bus ticket for Shilin Scenic Area; Note 1, don’t buy Shilin Town, but Stone Forest Scenic Area; Note 2. Children need to show their household registration book; children have a discount on the fare, the total is 85 yuan for two adults and one child, including insurance premiums; the long-distance bus will open when it is full; it will take about 1.5 hours to arrive at the Stone Forest Scenic Area.
I have known the Stone Forest in Kunming since I was a child, so I have always thought that this is an old scenic spot. I was a little hesitant at first, but I just thought that since I have arrived in Kunming, I will always come to see the Stone Forest. ; But in fact, the Stone Forest Scenic Area surprised me a little. The scenic area should have been newly built a few years ago. I also feel that it is completely worth visiting; it can be seen that the management of the scenic spot is also very good. Tickets are 130 yuan per person. The tour guide said that the price has been reduced in response to the appeal of the Development and Reform Commission. It used to be 175 yuan, half price for children; because the Stone Forest Scenic Area is very large, it is recommended to buy battery tickets, 25 yuan per person, and 25 for children; so I A total of 400 yuan was paid, which can be paid by WeChat.
The battery car is still very necessary, otherwise, when you walk to the big and small stone forest attractions, you will be exhausted, so how can you still move around.
It should be reminded that there is basically no food for sale in the Stone Forest Scenic Area, and there is very little food to eat, so everyone buys some in advance in the urban area of Kunming to take with them, and eat some at noon; this may be a management measure of the scenic spot , In this way, there will not be a lot of garbage. I really appreciate this, and it avoids the mess of the scenic spot.
We returned to the long-distance station at about 1:00 p.m., because I bought the train ticket from Kunming to Dali in advance, and drove at 4:02, which was considered a good time, and I thought it was enough; at this time, I encountered a little unexpected embarrassment , Disrupted the arrangement I had originally imagined; when we got on the bus, we found that there were only three of us in the whole car, and there were no tourists to get on the car after that; Most tourists are still playing in the scenic area and will not go back; and this long-distance bus leaves only when it is full, instead of leaving at the right time, which is embarrassing; after waiting for a while, no one got on the bus, so I made a decisive decision Immediately, Didi called a taxi, and someone took the order very quickly, and he had to be a meter driver, not negotiating the price; he drove back to the hotel immediately, plus tolls, and paid a total of more than 360 yuan.
The reason for the embarrassment of my itinerary is mainly because the long-distance buses to and from the Stone Forest Scenic Area leave only when they are full, instead of leaving on schedule, so there will be deviations in the schedule. Therefore, we need to fine-tune the travel time. In fact, we need to get up early and start early.
Tourists leave early and store their luggage at the hotel front desk. They have to leave the hotel at least 7:30, and they can arrive at the Eastern Bus Station at about 8:00, buy tickets, get on the bus, and wait. There are many tourists in the morning, even if they drive at 8:30. Arrive at the Stone Forest Scenic Area at 10 o'clock, 2 hours is enough to play, arrive at the long-distance station at the beginning of 12 o'clock, buy a ticket and wait on the bus, even if the seats are not full, tourists will not be allowed to wait for an hour without driving, it is not It must be full, and it was not all full when we came. Or you can buy the train ticket to Dali in the afternoon and buy it later. There are still a lot of trains from Kunming to Dali, and it will run until 9 o'clock in the evening. This is arranged according to each person's needs.
In the afternoon, the urban area of Kunming is also a bit of a traffic jam, so under normal circumstances, it is better for everyone to take the subway at the Eastern Bus Station, and the time is controllable; so I am also prepared in my heart to change the train ticket, so you don’t have to worry about this Yes, if the train ticket is delayed, it can be changed, and there will be no waste of money to buy a new ticket; but if you change the next train, you will have to stand, and there will be no seat tickets. I arrived at the hotel, checked out, and called a black car at the door. He offered 40 yuan to the train station. In fact, it was only 3 kilometers away. My heart was dark enough, hehe; It’s worth it. This is an old driver who has been driving for more than 10 years. He used to drive a taxi. Now he bought a car for business. He drove boldly and cautiously. It’s really dangerous to blow to the booth on the side; that’s it, after we got off the train, we ran all the way, passed the security check, and there was no one at the ticket gate, and the ticket check would stop a few minutes later; when we got on the train, we sat down for a while. Open, thank the driver, otherwise I will definitely have to rebook the next train.
The high-speed train from Kunming to Dali arrived at Dali Railway Station in 2 hours. The hotel I booked was at the Erhai Gate in Dali Ancient City. After taking a taxi, the driver offered a price of 50 yuan. There was no counter-offer, and it took a lot of time to set off. Yes, I arrived at the Erhai Gate; when I went to Lijiang, I also took a taxi from Erhai Gate to Dali Railway Station. The driver used a meter and it cost 47 yuan, so the price is about the same.
Checked into the hotel, went out to eat, and visited the ancient city. It was quite lively at night.
This is the Erhai Gate, which sells small commodities. We adults and children have also bought a lot, and there are some for our children and classmates; there are also a few super-large telescopes inside, to see Uranus, and the weather in Yunnan. When it comes to the moon, they said that the moon will not be available until 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, so we can only watch the stars; it costs 20 yuan for one person, and we simply all three of us, a total of 40 yuan. Those who sell small commodities do not bargain, and I saw the same small things at several different stalls, and the price is the same. It seems that they all agreed that everyone would not bargain. Everyone has a business.
Day 3: At the Erhai Gate in the morning, it is the place where I was standing when I took this photo. There is a road facing the Erhai Gate. There is a taxi on the road. I took a taxi from Dali Railway Station yesterday evening. Get off here; what we are going to is Caicun Wharf, take a taxi, Caicun Wharf, you can take a cruise ship to visit the Erhai Lake, and there are also rental bicycles, electric two-wheelers, and battery four-wheelers nearby. I rented a battery four-wheeler, like the little Alto in the past, and the price was negotiated at 130 yuan, which can be returned in the afternoon, with a deposit of 200 yuan.
After the actual tour around the lake, my suggestion is that everyone should take a boat to visit Erhai Lake, and ride a bicycle around the lake by yourself, battery car or something, which is not interesting. Because the Erhai Lake is very big, the whole journey is more than 120 kilometers, and you can’t finish the tour; secondly, there are not many people on the road, not many people are riding and driving together as you think, everyone is happy, and the willow wind is blowing. Gentle sunshine, happy mood; in fact, it is deserted, what's the point? The most important reason is that not all the roads around the Erhai Lake surround the Erhai Lake. Many roads pass through villages. Some road sections are on the road along the Erhai Lake, but because no landscape roads have been built, they are not good-looking, with dead wood and slag roads, that's all; of course, you can also go to places that others can't reach, and take some photos; but all in all , I suggest to take a cruise boat to play on the lake.
After the tour around the Erhai Lake, I went back to the hotel to check out, and took a taxi to the train station. I bought the train ticket at 3 pm in advance; from Dali to Lijiang, there was no high-speed train, only the express train with the prefix K, and it took 2 hours to Lijiang.
This time I live in the north gate of Lijiang Old Town and go in; note that the north gate is very long, and it can be called the north gate within 2 kilometers, so you must know the name of the road near the hotel you booked, and tell the taxi driver, and they will tell you It is convenient to know where to park and get in; the taxi fare is less than 40 yuan, and the meter is used.
Put your luggage away and go out to visit the ancient city. There are not many people, so I am a little puzzled, so few people? After I found an internet celebrity restaurant and finished my meal, it was past 7 o'clock, and I headed towards the busiest place in the ancient city - the big waterwheel. At this time, I saw more and more people. When I arrived at the big waterwheel, it can be said that it was crowded. It should be that the group tourists came at night. The ancient city of Lijiang is really lively, much more lively than Dali. There is a bar next to the big waterwheel. A street, and Internet celebrity bars, so bustling! What I want to explain is that I came in from Lanhua Street at the North Gate. This location is actually next to the big waterwheel, and the location is quite good.
Tomorrow, I will go to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that I have been thinking about so much. Here I will introduce several ways to go; 1. If you book a hotel in Ctrip, there will be a WeChat team leader from Ctrip to add you on WeChat, and pull everyone into a group. Actually This is the local tour guide. It is estimated that you have contacted Ctrip, otherwise you will not have your phone information, and then solicit business. The one-day tour of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain will cost about 370 yuan. There is a minibus to book the parking place. 2. The hotel you are staying in Lijiang also has a one-day snow mountain tour service. The hotel I booked is 400 yuan per person. Of course, the hotel also connects with the local travel agency, not the hotel to pick you up; 3 , you can also go by yourself. There are tourist buses to go to the snow mountain in the Red Sun Square outside the ancient city, but this is what I learned from my homework in advance, and it has not been verified by myself; if you want to go by bus, then it is best It means staying in a hotel near the big waterwheel, that is, near the north gate. Going north is the gate of the ancient city, and walking a little further is the Red Sun Square.
How did I get there? Of course, it is a taxi, or a chartered car; this can save time and make people feel relaxed and not tired. I took a taxi from Lijiang Railway Station to the ancient city. I asked the taxi driver on the way, and he was willing to take us to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The negotiated price was 180 yuan.
Let’s briefly introduce Jade Dragon Snow Mountain first. All the vehicles that enter can only go to the foot of the snow mountain. When the vehicles enter, there is a place like a toll point. All vehicles are stopped and passed one by one. Buy at the window. The ticket, the ticket bought is the entrance fee, 100 yuan per person, half price for children, I paid 250 yuan, in fact, this is the meaning of the ticket. To play Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, there are mainly 2 fees, one is the entrance fee of 100 yuan, and the other is the cableway ticket. The cableway is divided into large cableway and small cableway. Generally, of course we have to take the big cableway. The big cableway can reach our tourists. The highest point reached is 4680 meters above sea level. After passing this place like a toll gate, the car had to drive a long way before arriving at the parking lot. We got off the car and the driver left. I told him to call him more than half an hour in advance. In this place Wait, pay when the chartered car fee is picked up, and the driver drives away to do other business. In addition, you can also put your luggage in the driver's trunk, so that you can go directly when you go back, and you don't have to go back to the hotel. This needs to be discussed with the driver.
Now let’s talk about the tickets for the big cableway. I bought them on Taobao in advance, because I had to wait in line to buy them on the spot and I might not be able to buy them. They may not be able to buy it, because they also have to come early in the morning to grab the ticket; so even if I paid online, they did not have the ticket information. The ticket information was that morning, when I had breakfast at the hotel I just sent it, and it reminded me that the purchase was successful; I felt relieved; buying tickets online, they have a 95% probability of being able to buy the ticket, and there are rare cases where they can’t buy the ticket, so they can only refund payment. So if you are planning to go to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain by yourself, it is best to buy the cableway ticket online in advance, usually they can buy it; of course, you can also participate in the local one-day tour in Lijiang, but the big cableway for the one-day tour Tickets, I believe they are not 100% available. This is the same thing as you buy online, because in fact, local travel agencies are grabbing tickets. Buying a cableway ticket online is 150 yuan per person, and the full price for children; I saw at the scene that the on-site ticket price is 140 yuan, which is 10 yuan more. Yes, the big cableway ticket, children are full price, no discount.
Day 4: At early 8 o'clock, wait at the place where we got off yesterday at the north gate of the ancient city; the driver first introduced us to buy oxygen bottles, small ones cost 40 a bottle, large ones cost 60 a bottle, which is also the same price at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain , there are cheaper ones, some people say it’s 30 yuan, but we don’t know where to sell them; we bought 2 small cans for 80 yuan; they also said to rent down jackets, because it’s cold in the mountains, so we don’t want them. It took about 40 minutes to drive, and I got off at Ganhaizi in the middle. The place is like a prairie. The scenery is good, and I took some photos; it is a pity that the grass is withered and yellow at this time. If it is after June Come on, it must be more beautiful. above.
By the way, the taxi driver said that Lijiang will snow every May and the mountains may be closed, so it is best to come after June.
Arrived at the parking lot, got off the car, and we went in and queued; this place, if you want to buy tickets on the spot, you can buy it here; we showed our mobile phone text messages, and the security guard let us in; then there is a security checkpoint inside, you need to swipe your ID Children have to look at the household registration book and enter their ID number; there are quite a lot of people, and after waiting for about 40 minutes, they finally got on the bus in the scenic spot. This place is actually more than 3,000 meters above sea level, but you also I don’t feel uncomfortable, because the altitude in Yunnan itself is relatively high. Kunming and Dali are about 2 kilometers above sea level, and Shangri-La is over 3,000 meters above sea level. When we went up the mountain, our parents accompanied us to rest at the same place; some people still had altitude sickness, and we also met a tourist who said that she had been to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain before, but she did not go up, but this time she went up.
The bus drove to the entrance of the big cableway, lined up one by one, and entered the cable car. The cableway went up for about 1,000 meters and reached an altitude of 4,506 meters. From here, tourists have to walk up several hundred meters to reach the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that tourists can reach. The highest point, the peak of 4680 meters above sea level. When I got out of the cable car and arrived at the platform, I immediately saw the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The nature is incomparably magnificent. I really cheer for the great mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Tourists walk up slowly along the walking plank road, inhaling oxygen all the way; sit down and rest, eat some high-calorie things like chocolate, and continue to walk up. To be honest, I didn't feel cold at all. I also took off a down vest because I was sweating a little, but I felt that it might be altitude sickness, which caused the cold sweat. People were a little uncomfortable. After taking off the down vest , people are comfortable, and it’s okay; so don’t wear too many clothes, and there’s no need to rent down jackets, which are ugly and dirty; what I wear is not down jackets, but ordinary cotton clothes. I didn’t want to bring more thick clothes, down jackets , thinking that it would take 2 hours to go down the mountain even if I endured the cold, but it turned out that it was not cold, I didn’t wear gloves, and the shoes were not thick cotton shoes; so don’t imagine it is too cold; oxygen tanks are necessary, all the way When we go up, we have to inhale oxygen; for the three of us, 2 small cans are enough; and when we go down from the highest point, we don’t feel uncomfortable at all, and we don’t need to inhale oxygen anymore. Maybe it’s down, oxygen Relatively more and more, people will not feel uncomfortable.
Incomparably magnificent!
After the cableway goes down the mountain, you still take the bus in the scenic spot to another scenic spot - Blue Moon Valley, which is the Baishui River. It is said that the soil at the bottom of the river is white. When it rains, the soil will float up and the river will be white. Yes, so it is also called Baishui River.
When going down from the big cableway, the Blue Moon Valley is indeed like a crescent moon, which is the origin of the name of the Blue Moon Valley.
Near water, distant mountains, white clouds, blue sky. . . . . . The boundless beauty is unobstructed!
I think Jade Dragon Snow Mountain does not need a one-day tour, half a day is enough; I also read the introduction of their one-day tour, a lot of time is wasted, and tourists have to stay in Lijiang for an extra night; of course, It depends on your vacation time. We only have 7 days this time, and we have to go to these 4 places. After deducting the first day of the plane, it is actually only 6 days, so we must not take it easy; of course, if you If you have plenty of time, you can take a leisurely stroll.
So for this trip, all my trips are by taxi or chartered car, so that people will not be tired and save time.
By the way, after the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain came down, I ate something at the waiting area of the scenic bus. Many places in Yunnan sell a kind of tofu with local characteristics in Yunnan. I forgot the name. It is actually tofu, but they It is not called XX tofu, it is not delicious at all, this is my personal feeling.
I still want to remind here that altitude sickness does exist. After we got off the cableway, we finished eating and felt a little uncomfortable when we arrived at Blue Moon Valley; so we continued to buy food and hot drinks; there is a 15 on the opposite side. The 6-year-old boy lay on the bench for a long time, and his mother accompanied him; therefore, individuals still have to arrange their schedule according to their own physique. My feeling is that one is going to the plateau for the first time, and then climbing up the mountain, and being hungry again. When these factors add up, people will feel uncomfortable; so be prepared in advance and bring something to eat. For example, high-calorie foods such as chocolate, and dry food such as flower cakes, you can eat when you are hungry.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, we arrived at Lijiang Express Bus Station, bought tickets for the 4:00 departure, and went straight to Shangri-La. This is the last long-distance bus bound for Shangri-La at this station. It also has to go through another long-distance station in Lijiang to take away a group of tourists, so you can go directly to that long-distance station, and the time to Shangri-La will be reduced by half an hour.
The long-distance bus took about 4 hours. When we arrived at Shangri-La, the second half of the journey was a mountain road. The scenery is supposed to be very good, but again, because it is winter, the grass is withered and yellow, and the water in the mountains is also a little dry; I believe that the scenery on the way to Shangri-La is very beautiful in the season after June.
Shangri-La is a small county. I live in the ancient city of Dukezong, which is not far from the Shangri-La Coach Terminal.
The ancient city of Dukezong is a well-preserved Tibetan residential area in China.
This ancient city suffered a fire a few years ago. Due to the wooden structure and the aging of the underground fire hoses, the ancient city was completely burned down. What we see now is that the government has rebuilt it.
Tell the bus driver that if you arrive at the ancient city of Dukezong, he will stop on the road opposite the ancient city and let you get off.
When we arrived at the ancient city of Dukezong, it was 8 o'clock in the evening; the unexpected harvest was that there was also a temple in the ancient city, and the landscape lights were turned on, which was very beautiful.
Shangri-La, at present, is still incomparable with Lijiang and Dali. The ancient city seems to be very depressed, there are no people, and restaurants are closed, not only at night, but also during the day. It can be seen that there is no business; The degree of commercialization is far inferior to that of Lijiang and Dali; not to mention playing at night, there are very few meals, tourists can rest and sleep in the inn.
But it is also because of this that the current Shangri-La is relatively original, and it is worth visiting as soon as possible; why do you say it is hurrying, because the train will be opened next year, and there will be more and more tourists; by then The ecological environment is definitely not as good as it is now. Now coming from Lijiang, it takes 4 hours to drive a long-distance bus, and half of it is a mountain road, which makes people feel unsafe; and it takes only 2 hours to get there by train, even if it is not a bullet train, and it is safe and comfortable. Sometimes, commercialization and original ecology are a pair of contradictions.
I found a hotel, and under the introduction of the boss, I found a restaurant opened by local Tibetans. I ate yak hot pot, 128 yuan, which is cheap. The barley cake they made was quite delicious. I ordered a glass of barley wine, which was terrible. , 15 yuan, and highland barley wine soaked in snakes and whips.
Back at the hotel, I talked with the boss about chartering a car to Pudacuo National Park tomorrow, and finally agreed that it will be 260 yuan, round trip, and I can go to other places. The next day, I also saw a 150 yuan chartered car, but the boss’s car is an SUV, which is comfortable to sit in, spacious, and fuel-efficient. The 150 yuan car is definitely not good; besides, we came at night, and we don’t have time I went to find it.
Day 5: Let’s talk about Pudacuo National Park first. This is the first national park in our country. Less; after all, there are not many tourists coming to Shangri-La now; so we have to hurry up, the train will pass, and there will be more and more tourists. In addition, I don't know the reason. This time I went to Pudacuo, the scenic spot closed 2 scenic spots, and only one scenic spot was opened - Shudu Lake; maybe it was for protection; thus, the tickets were also cheaper , there are 3 of us, two big and one small, the total ticket price is 280 yuan, including the scenic bus; adults should be 100 yuan, children are half price, and the bus is 10 yuan per person. This scenic bus is considered a conscience price, because it is open to Attractions, go in and drive for 20 minutes, and leave for 30 minutes.
Because Pudacuo only has one scenic spot open now, we didn’t start very early. At 8:30, the boss took us to a Henan ramen restaurant for breakfast. They didn’t just eat noodles, there were porridge and barley cakes; Pudacuo, after driving for about 40 minutes, there are many mountain roads along the way, or this sentence, the grass is all yellow, otherwise this road should be accompanied by beautiful scenery.
We got on the scenic bus and took away our lighters, but smoking is not allowed. It is winter now, so we must prevent fires. Of course, in the scenic area, there are some small wooden houses, which are smoking rooms.
The bus drove to Shudu Lake. Along the way, you can see that it is surrounded by mountains and grassland wild horses. It is really a good place. It's finally here, let's post some pictures first.
Blue sky and white clouds, surrounded by mountains, blue lake, white ice and snow. . . . . . The beauty of silence!
Needless to say, it is so beautiful; I have always said that it is a pity that it is winter and the grass is withered and yellow. If you come after June, it will definitely be more beautiful; but in fact, because it is winter, the lake is frozen and blue. The lake water, white ice, and the photos taken are so beautiful; when the peak season comes, there will be no such white ice and snow.
Someone here is holding a snow-white yak for tourists to take pictures. Our family of 3 took pictures, and the results are very beautiful; because I have a comparison, he has pictures of tourists to attract business, all taken in summer , the grass on the ground is green, so it is not as beautiful as it is now, because our background is a blue lake and white ice!
To visit this Shudu Lake, walk along the plank road to the bus stop, and drive back to the gate of the scenic spot; the hotel owner is already waiting at the gate, and returns to the ancient city of Dukezong. Then some tourists want to go to Songzanlin Temple, it is also possible. When you charter a car, as long as you agree, the owner will drive you there, and the chartered car fee is the same. But I didn't go, I think Songzanlin Temple, just take a photo in the distance; and there is a small Tibetan temple in the ancient city of Dukezong, which is still free, why bother to look far away; in this temple There is also a prayer building that is said to be the largest.
I took the night scene last night, now let’s take a few photos of the real face during the day.
This is the largest scripture-turning building in the legendary Tibetan temple, and it takes 3 or 4 adults to pull it.
Here is another panoramic view of the Tibetan residential area in Shangri-La.
Compared with Lijiang and Dali, Shangri-La can really be described as deserted and depressed; there are few tourists, and it’s already lunch time, and we can’t find a place to eat. The hotel owner asked us to go to the restaurant last night to eat yak hot pot. I don’t want to go anymore; but the kebab stand in front of the temple is actually quite expensive, 3 skewers are sold for 20 yuan, do you think it is expensive? But there were several dogs next to us. Seeing us eating kebabs, the two dogs followed all the way. They could only eat some for themselves and give them some. The dogs stopped following us when we had no more kebabs in our hands.
After we ate something casually, the boss sent us to Shangri-La Long-distance Bus Station, bought a ticket to drive at 1 o'clock, and returned to Lijiang.
Here I want to talk about why we have to return to Lijiang; because this time we bought a round-trip air ticket from Shanghai to Kunming. If we buy the round-trip air ticket together, the price will be cheaper; we are in Shanghai at 12:15 noon on January 25. From Hongqiao to Kunming, at 19:55 on the evening of January 31, Kunming flies to Shanghai Pudong, the total cost is about 6,200 yuan for two large and one small; I know that Lijiang also has an airport, but I have seen that there are very few direct flights, and you can choose the time There are not many trips, and Kunming is a provincial capital city, so there are many flights; in addition, I have to go back to Kunming, because there is Dianchi Lake to play.
From Shangri-La to Lijiang, or from Lijiang to Shangri-La, there is a place in the middle that I really want to go. It is the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area, which is the deepest Grand Canyon in my country and is also a world-famous Grand Canyon. Our general tourists want to play the Tiger Leap; the Tiger Leap is divided into two sections, the Lijiang section and the Shangri-La section. There are 2 places for Tiger Leaping, and this time, the Upper Tiger Leaping in the Lijiang section was closed because the road and bridge were being built, and the Shangri-La section's Upper Tiger Leaping Scenic Spot was open. So since there is the upper tiger jump, there will naturally be the middle tiger jump and the lower tiger jump.
Zhonghu Leap refers to going deeper from the upper Tiger Leap, but it can only be entered on foot. It is one of the top 10 famous hiking routes in the world. Along the way, you can enjoy the invincible and magnificent scenery of nature.
We are not hiking enthusiasts, so we only looked at the Tiger Leaping Walk. But Tiger Leaping Gorge is a place I definitely want to visit. Because the next time you come to Shangri-La, the train has already passed, and you don’t need to take a long-distance bus, so it is estimated that you will not pass by Tiger Leaping Gorge, so since you are here this time, you have to go and see.
So how to get to Tiger Leaping Gorge? The long-distance bus from Shangri-La to Lijiang, or the long-distance bus from Lijiang to Shangri-La, will pass through a place called Qiaotou Town, also called Tiger Leaping Gorge Town; in Shangri-La or Lijiang, when buying a long-distance bus ticket, it will be mentioned Get off at Qiaotou Town, when the bus arrives at Qiaotou Town, it will stop and let you get off; but there are no buses or coaches going to the scenic spot; only black cars.
After getting out of the car, there will be a black car driver coming up to solicit customers, asking for 180, and talking about 120 for a deal, send it in, wait for you to play well, then send it out, or send it to the place where you just got off, and then wait on the side of the road to drive away from Shangri-La The bus to Lijiang passed by and beckoned to stop. Or you are on the way from Lijiang to Shangri-La, the same is true, buy a ticket to Qiaotou Town, get off the bus, take a black car to the Tiger Leaping Gorge scenic spot, after the driver takes you back, wave to stop the long-distance drive from Lijiang to Shangri-La bus.
The momentum of Tiger Leaping Gorge is difficult to express through photos, and can only be felt through personal experience. The best viewing time for Tiger Leaping Gorge is July and August, when it is the rainy season, so the water in the canyon is very strong, and the big rock in the photo will be submerged. At that time, the momentum of the rushing water is very strong. Another strange thing is that the water flow is clear now, but in summer when the water flow is very strong, the water flow is yellow, just like the Yellow River.
When I arrived in a black car, looking down from the top, I felt that the water flow was too small, and the tour was to go down from the ground level. The deepest part was more than 3,000 meters. When I went down the steps step by step, it was just a little bit. Feeling the momentum of the water flow, I took a video, but unfortunately I don't know how to post it.
After the tour, stop the long-distance bus at the get-off point in Qiaotou Town and continue to Lijiang. And in the black goat hot pot street outside the ancient city of Lijiang, I ate Lijiang's specialty - black goat hot pot, and donkey meat. It was raining at this time, so I didn't go shopping at night, and the hotel was closed.
Day 6: This morning's arrangement is to visit a scenic spot in the ancient city - Mufu, then visit the ancient city and do some shopping.
The Naxi people did not have the surname of the Han nationality. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, Ajia Ade, the chieftain of the Naxi nationality in Lijiang, northwestern Yunnan, judged the situation. His surname was removed with a apostrophe and a horizontal line, and he was given the "wood" surname. From then on, the Naxi traditional father-son name system was changed to a Chinese name.
The so-called "there is the Forbidden City in the north, and the Mufu Palace in the south", Lijiang Mufu Palace is a grand view garden of Lijiang culture; of course, it cannot be compared with the Forbidden City. Mufu is a common name for the Tusi yamen of the Mu family in Lijiang. When Naxi people talk about "Master Mu", they are as affectionate as we mention our ancestors. Master Mu used to be the owner of this mansion. To put it simply, Mufu five or six hundred years ago was the Forbidden City in the ancient city of Lijiang.
The Mu Mansion is quite big, and there is a garden on the back hill.
After visiting Mufu, it's time to visit the ancient city. Let's take a picture of the ancient city first.
It's pretty beautiful.
Then there are the streets.
There are not many people in the morning, and the management staff of the ancient city are doing cleaning work in the morning, and the faucet is washing the streets.
Check out the hotel, have dinner, and then take a taxi to Lijiang Railway Station. The bullet train from Lijiang to Kunming starts at 1 o'clock and usually arrives in Kunming in 3 hours. But when I arrived in Dali this time, the flight attendant said they wanted to change the front of the car and drive in a different direction. They all turned in one direction to avoid dizziness, and finally arrived in Kunming later.
Considering that we will be watching birds at the Viewing Dam of Dianchi Lake tomorrow, we will directly stay at a hotel near the Viewing Dam at night. We can take a taxi from Kunming Railway Station, plus the fuel surcharge.
After checking into the hotel, go out for a stroll; it is really close, across the road is Caohai Dati.
This is Caohai Dati in the evening, where the water and grass are lush, like a small wetland. Go forward and you will arrive at the viewing dam.
This is the viewing dam in the evening, and the statue is Xian Xinghai. Be very quiet, tomorrow. . . A large number of birds are the protagonists here.
Day 7: Let’s talk about the viewing dam of Dianchi Lake first. The main thing to see in the dam is the bird, the red-billed gull, a migratory bird that flies to Kunming from Siberia for the winter. To see the red-billed gulls, it must be in the morning, a large number of birds gather here, waiting to be fed; tourists can buy some bread to feed the birds; and the red-billed gulls are not afraid of people at all, scrambling to grab food, it is really beautiful. The adults and the children were all overjoyed. It's a pity that I can't upload the video, and I can't see the spectacular scene of thousands of birds fighting for food.
Let’s take a photo of the Caohai Embankment in the morning.
Alright, tens of thousands of red-billed gulls are coming to grab the blockbuster!
Tourists fed one after another, and the whole dam was bustling!
Then, we took a taxi to Haigeng Park. Haigeng is a section of dam extending out of Dianchi Lake. It is an open park and no tickets are required. There are also red-billed gulls that can be fed, but after seeing the viewing dam, the magnificence here is completely incomparable; so it is recommended that you still go to the viewing dam to watch and feed the red-billed gulls, that is available Spectacular to describe. In Haigeng Park, there are also garden activities to play.
In the afternoon, I specially set aside a few hours for shopping. When you come to Kunming, the spring city, you always have to bring back some local products to give to colleagues, relatives, and friends. I chose the Daguan store of Wal-Mart Supermarket, which is located in the urban area, just next to the Panjiawan Station of Metro Line 3; after shopping, it is very convenient to go to the airport. It’s about 30 yuan by taxi from the hotel. Note that there are several doors in Daguan Store, one of which has an entrance and exit. It’s very close to Panjiawan Station on Metro Line 3. After we finished shopping, we walked for tens of meters. Just arrived at the entrance of the subway station.
I went shopping in the supermarket for a few hours and bought a lot of things. Because of the good location, there are many people here, and it is very lively. Everyone comes to buy new year's goods.
After shopping, take Metro Line 3 to Dongfang Bus Station, change to Metro Line 6, and go to the airport; have dinner at the airport. Air China took off from Kunming Changshui Airport at 19:55, ending the trip to Yunnan.
Conclusion:
Overall, I am very satisfied with this trip to Yunnan. Before I went, what I was most looking forward to was Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Pudacuo National Park. In fact, it did not disappoint me; Jade Dragon Snow Mountain completely showed the incomparably magnificent scenery of nature. The beauty of extreme silence, so peaceful, so beautiful. . . You just want to close your eyes and be in this nature.
I will definitely come to Yunnan several times again. For example, I didn’t go to Lugu Lake, I didn’t go to Lashihai this time, and I still have to go to Pudacuo National Park. Then I will go directly to Lijiang next time. These attractions are all It is around Lijiang. In addition, Xishuangbanna is also a place to go; there is also Honghe, a place with better original ecology.
The first time we met, I fell in love with Caiyunzhinan!
