Kneel for Guangzhou-Yunnan self-help tour route

You don't need too many clothes to travel in Yunnan. A suit of long and short clothes is enough. Personally, I strongly recommend preparing a coat made of that kind of rain-proof silk fabric, which has many uses. In addition, if you come to Yunnan in summer, you'd better prepare a pair of sunglasses.

First stop, Kunming

Kunming is a spring city and a famous tourist city, but after a long time, you really don't think there are any scenic spots worth playing here. If time is not enough, two days is enough:

Leave home

The consumption level in Kunming is not very high, and the prices of food and accommodation are reasonable. But as a student, it is still based on the principle of saving money. Therefore, when you arrive in Kunming, you can arrange accommodation around Yunnan University (Gong Kun, Yunnan Normal University and Yunnan Nationalities are also in this area). Most of the hotels here are for college students who can't go back to the dormitory on time nearby, which is very cost-effective.

The specific route is:

1) Kunming Wujiaba Airport:

Method A: Take a taxi to Yunnan University for Nationalities. The fare is around 20 yuan during the day and around 24 yuan at night.

Method B: Take the bus in front of the airport (Kunming Airport is very close to the urban area, and it is one of the few airports with direct buses in China) to Kunming Railway Station. The fare is one yuan, and you can bring your own change (the same below). Transfer to No.64 at Kunming Railway Station and get off at Minzu University.

2) Kunming Railway Station

Method A: Take bus No.64 to Minzu University (getting to the station is not at the exit of the railway station, so you need to ask for directions).

Method B: Take bus No.2 to Jianshe Road (get on at the exit of the railway station, but you need to ask for directions after getting off, and walk to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about 2 stops).

Method C: Take a taxi directly to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about RMB 16- 18.

When you arrive at the main entrance of Minzu University, just ask the passing students where there are cheap and hygienic hotels nearby, and most of them will enthusiastically recommend them to you. (PS: Most Yunnan natives are also warm and simple, and they can ask for directions in Yunnan Province. )

Hotels around here are generally ordinary rooms, regardless of off-season and peak season. The price is 10- 15 yuan per bed.

After settling down, if it is still early, you can eat nearby, because most of the shops nearby are run by students, so there is no big phenomenon of cheating customers, but you should be prepared to buy fruit nearby. After dinner, you can take a walk in Cuihu Park through the campus of Yunnan University (65438+ red-billed gulls inhabit here in February-March of the following year, with spectacular scenery). To be on the safe side, you need to get back to the hotel before 24 o'clock.

Official itinerary

Day 1 day: Jin Dian World Expo Park

The Expo site was completed in 1999 and has been commercialized since the competition. Although they are all man-made, it is still necessary to see them because of their great fame. However, people who are interested in gardens or buildings will still gain something from it.

Admission: 100 yuan. You can buy half a ticket with your student ID card. You must bring your student ID card when you come to Yunnan. Almost all major scenic spots have half-price student tickets to buy, but the verification is very strict. )

Transportation: Ask for directions from the main entrance of Minzu University, walk to Jianshe Road, and take bus No.69 to the terminal (the return journey is the same).

It takes half a day to browse the Expo site. If it is still early, you can take the ropeway in the park (not recommended) or take the bus outside the park to the Golden Temple Scenic Area (tickets 15 yuan, no student tickets). Jindian was built in Wu Sangui in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was made by pure casting. Apart from the Golden Temple, there is almost no ornamental value in the scenic spot. Take the 10 bus back to the University for Nationalities after coming out of the Golden Temple.

The next day: Shilin

The famous address park is world-famous and worth seeing.

Shilin is not in the city, so transportation and accommodation are troublesome. You can report a one-day tour of Shilin according to the advertisement published in front of the railway station or the Expo Park the day before (the price is about 100 yuan, and if it exceeds this price, you will bargain, including scenic spot tickets, Chinese food and bus fare).

When signing up for a tour, be sure to visit the scenic spots including the "Oishinohayashi" scenic spot (the picture on the Shilin brand cigarette box).

One-day tour of Shilin is cheap, but no matter whether the travel agency reported it is formal or not, there are many tricks in it, so you need to be very careful. Personally recommend Yunnan Everbright Travel Agency and Yunnan International Travel Service.

The cunning of Shilin one-day travel agency;

A: The "Colorful Yunnan" shopping spot is halfway. "Emerald Jade" shopping spot. Remember: don't buy beautiful things. Otherwise, you will regret it.

B: Never draw lots, tell fortune, burn incense or worship Buddha in the temple. (The same is true in other places in Yunnan-except Songzanlin Temple in Shangri-La (see below)-it's not that we don't respect it, but that the * * * in these small temples has been defiled by those secular monks and Taoists. )

C: Never take part in the so-called entertainment project of marrying ethnic minorities in Shilin Scenic Area, or you will lose 100 yuan.

D: When traveling in scenic spots, you can arrange home visits for ethnic minorities. Send wine and tea, don't worry. Just remember to keep your wallet tight and never buy it.

Tickets for Shilin Scenic Area 140 yuan, the quotation of travel agencies is basically unprofitable, and it is understandable that there are above tricks. Understand these things yourself, and they can't help you if you don't fall for it. That's it. There is no need to argue with it. If the rest of the group looks at the rich man, let him be fooled. We are not saviors. After all, the tour guide has to eat. But the stone forest is still beautiful.

If you really don't want to join the group, take a bus to Kunming Railway Station, ask for directions, and take the relevant bus to Shilin County (one-way fare 15 yuan or so). Second stop Dali

Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom in history are both here, which is the base of Dali Kingdom in Tian Ba Long Department. However, times have changed, and there is not much historical accumulation here, but the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are still struggling to bear the history and refuse to retreat. Dali can arrange a day and a half to visit.

Transportation:

A: If you start from Kunming, you can get a full ticket to 800 yuan. Generally, you can get a 6-8 discount.

B: By train: Apart from the extra trains in peak season, there are four trains from go to dali to Kunming every day, N982, N986, N992 and N996. Except N996, they are all night trains, but almost all their tickets are booked in advance by travel agencies-they despise China Railway-so ordinary tourists can only buy tickets for 996. If they decide not to stay in Kunming for too long, they can stay in Kunming.

N996 hard seat 35 yuan (without air conditioning) leaves at 9: 02 am and arrives in Dali at 15: 40.

The other three trains are all night trains, all arriving in the morning and at night. The hard seat fare is around 45 yuan, but as mentioned above, there is little hope of purchasing tickets.

PS: There will be extra buses in the peak season. Ask at the train station.

C: Take the express bus in front of Kunming Railway Station, and the fare to Dali is about 1 10 yuan, but the cost performance is not high, so we can do what we can.

Dali is a prefecture-level administrative region. The full name is Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. Our destination is its subordinate city Dali (called Xiaguan locally), and the tourist attraction is the ancient city of Dali in the suburbs of Dali.

After arriving at Dali Railway Station (the last stop in the southwest of the national railway map, Lijiang Railway is under construction), take bus No.8 directly in front of the station and get off at Eryuan Park. The fare is one yuan. Except for the No.8 bus, all bus tickets in Dali are 50 cents, so get the change ready. When I arrived at the Second Hospital Park, I was already in the ancient city of Dali.

After getting off the bus, many middle-aged women will ask you if you want to go to Cangshan Erhai Lake, but remember their phone numbers or activity areas, which will be useful tomorrow.

Live broadcast:

Accommodation in Dali is cheap, the standard room is about 40-45 yuan/day, and the ordinary room is 10-15 yuan/day. After getting off at the Second Hospital Park, ask for directions and walk to Dali Cinema. The road in front of the cinema is the busiest street in the ancient city. You can stay in a roadside hotel at the above price.

If you leave in the morning, it should be around five o'clock in the evening after you arrange accommodation in Dali. Go to the "Three Towers" if you are not hungry. Turn left facing the main entrance of Dali Cinema and go all the way to Zhengyangmen, the south gate of the ancient city. After taking photos here, take bus 19 to the third tower.

The three pagodas are located in the courtyard of Chongsheng Temple (that is, Tianlong Temple), of which only the three pagodas are historical sites, and the rest of the buildings are rebuilt. Tickets for 52 yuan (student ID is half price) and tickets for the Forbidden City in Beijing are only for 60 yuan in peak season, so I personally think this scenic spot is quite worthless.

It depends on everyone. If you don't want to spend this ticket, you can take bus 19 and get off at Santa Claus reflection park, which is a good place to take pictures of Santa Claus. Tickets are four yuan (but the manager of the Three Towers has bundled the tickets for the Reflection Park in order to force tourists to enter the Three Towers Scenic Area, but please tell the conductor of the Reflection Park that you can buy tickets for four yuan separately.

Come out of the reflection park, walk to the front of the three towers and have a look through the gate. No.

You can still take the 19 bus and get off at "foreigner street" when you come back from the third tower. If there are many people with you, you can also take the carriage in front of the three towers. The average fare is one yuan per person, which needs to be bargained. It's not dark at this time, so you can go down from the corner of foreigner street and have a barbecue or something for dinner when you cross the street.

PS: It's best not to have dinner in the restaurant in the ancient city. Hotel owners are all small-scale farmers with poor attitudes. If you don't talk about bad food, you will get angry. However, the barbecue price here is relatively reasonable, and grilled fish and grilled shrimp are highly recommended.

After dark, you can stroll around foreigner's street or bubble bar, and then you will feel the significance of coming to Dali.
