1 1 The best route to travel to Yunnan every month.

You don't need too many clothes to travel in Yunnan. One set of long and short clothes is enough, and a coat is necessary. Personally, I strongly recommend preparing a coat made of that kind of rain-proof silk fabric, which has many uses. In addition, it is best to prepare a pair of sunglasses. The first stop in Kunming is Spring City, which is also a famous tourist city. However, after a long time, I really don't think there are any attractions worth playing here. If there is not enough time, it is enough to arrange two days: if you go out for a self-help tour, you must arrange good food and accommodation first. 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.

[[Multi-picture] Save money in the end] Kunming scenery specific route 1) Kunming Wujiaba Airport: Take a taxi to Yunnan University for Nationalities. The fare is around 20 yuan during the day and around 24 yuan at night. Take a bus in front of the airport (Kunming Airport is very close to the urban area, and it is one of the few airports in China that has a direct bus) to Kunming Railway Station. The fare is one yuan, and you can bring your own change to coin (the same below). Transfer to No.64 at Kunming Railway Station and get off at Minzu University. 2) Kunming Railway Station: Bus No.64 goes to Minzu University (the last stop is not at the exit of the railway station, so you need to ask for directions); Bus No.2 goes to Jianshe Road (the station is at the exit of the railway station, but after getting off, you need to ask for directions and walk to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about 2 stops away); Take a taxi directly to Yunnan University for Nationalities, about 16- 18 RMB. 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. Hotels around here are generally ordinary rooms, regardless of off-season and peak season. The price is 10- 15 yuan per bed. The first day of the official trip: Jin Dian World Expo Park was completed in 1999 and has been in commercial operation 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, 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 destination (the return journey is the same).

[[Multi-picture] How to save money] I spent half a day and glanced at the Kunming World Expo Park. If it is still early, you can take the ropeway in the park (not recommended) or 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: the world-famous Shilin famous address park is 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).

[[Many pictures] Save money in the end] Yunnan self-help tour guide] When Yunnan Shilin signs up for a tour group, you must make sure that the scenic spots you go to include the "Oishinohayashi" scenic spot (the picture on the Shilin brand cigarette box). The price of one-day tour in 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 extra careful. The thorny point of Shilin one-day tour 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. 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 Spot 140 yuan (student 70 yuan) are basically unprofitable, and the above problems are understandable. 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). The second stop: Nanzhao and Dali in Dali history are both here, the base of Dali in Eight Dragons. 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.

[[Multi-picture] Saving money in the end] Yunnan Dali Transportation: A: Flying from Kunming, all air tickets to 430 yuan are generally discounted. B: By train: Except for the extra trains in peak season, there are four trains from Kunming to Dali every day, including N982, N986, N992 and N996. Except N996, they are all night trains, but almost all of 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 arrive again. 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 we arrived at the Second Hospital Park, we were 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. Remember their phone numbers or activity areas, which will be useful tomorrow. Accommodation: Dali accommodation is cheap, the standard room is about 40-45 yuan/day, and the ordinary room 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.

[[Multi-picture] Saving money in the end Yunnan value-added self-help tour guide] The three pagodas in Dali, Yunnan Province are located in Chongsheng Temple (that is, Tianlong Temple), of which only 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. Go back to the hotel before 24 o'clock and end the first day in Dali. The second day in Dali: get up early and have breakfast (it is recommended to eat a bowl of rice noodles at the second house in the northeast corner of the intersection facing the cinema, and a bowl in 2 yuan, which is delicious and compact). At breakfast, it is estimated that some middle-aged women mentioned above will ask you if you want to visit Cangshan Erhai Lake and bargain with her. Generally, 20-30 yuan/person will swim in the sea, Cangshan cableway 50 yuan/person, Cangshan cableway 30 yuan/person (it is best to take Cangshan cableway) must not buy tickets at the gate of the scenic spot, otherwise it will be much more expensive. Individuals can go to Erhai Lake, but the cruise ship will stop at two scenic spots, and the tickets will be taken care of by themselves. Among them, Tianjing Pavilion/Guanyin Pavilion: tickets 10 yuan, students are half-price (personally, there is no need to stay). Jinsuo Island: Tickets to 3 yuan. Island is a small island inhabited by Bai people, all of whom are indigenous to Bai people. You can go up and take a walk to solve your lunch, but be sure to ask the price before eating. In addition, the white aunt on the island will take you to have three teas. You can try it, but her offer is 15 yuan/person, and you can also make a counter-offer to 3 yuan/person. ) After swimming in Erhai Lake, you can take bus No.2 from the pier around noon and return to the ancient city at Foreigners Street, and continue to swim Cangshan in the afternoon. If you still want to go to the Lijiang River, Cangshan can be omitted, which can save time to visit Yan Jia Courtyard in Xizhou (take bus No.2 at the pier and get off at Lida intersection-bus No.2 usually doesn't stop, so you should say hello to the driver in advance-transfer from Shimonoseki to Xizhou, and the ticket is 2 yuan/person). Yan Jia Courtyard: Tickets 10 yuan, half price for students. Yan Jia quadrangles are divided into new quadrangles and old quadrangles. Tickets for 10 yuan can be used to browse these two houses. The layout of the two houses is similar. The new house looks good, but if it is true, it belongs to the old house. Baba in Xizhou is very famous. Go to the Hutongkou of Yan Lao Yuan, and make a tunnel for 2 yuan. If I don't care about eating, I can buy two for dinner. Not far from the Yanyuan is butterfly spring, but the butterfly has long gone, leaving only the dry well to accompany tourists. Admission: 20 yuan. Please consult CMB flight attendants or local people for specific routes. No matter Cangshan, Xizhou dwellings or butterfly spring, it's just fun for tourists-beating children in rainy days and doing nothing-after all, Dali is a stop in Yunnan, since I'm here. If it's too much trouble, you can take a second-day local tour in Dali, about 120 yuan/person, but you must be more careful. After visiting Dali, you can choose to go to Lijiang or go directly to Shangri-La. If you want to get used to the altitude of the plateau, I suggest you go to Lijiang first. Personally, I suggest you take the sleeping car directly at night (you can book it at the private booking point in the ancient city). Personally recommend the booking point downstairs of Jinhua Hotel at the corner of foreigner street, and the proprietress is very enthusiastic). Go straight to shangri-la and arrive the next morning. This arrangement can not only save one night's time and accommodation expenses, but also save the ticket fee for Yulong Snow Mountain 160 yuan (see the figure below). In addition, Lijiang's itinerary will be more flexible. If you want to go to Lijiang first, you can book tickets for the next morning, 47 yuan/person for ordinary CMB and 79 yuan/person for luxury express. We will arrive in Lijiang in four hours. The third stop Shangri-La Shangri-La was originally mentioned by an American from Hilton in his novel The Lost Horizon. In order to develop tourism, Yunnan people renamed Zhongdian County as Shangri-La County under the guidance of experts, belonging to Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. The Shangri-La areas we usually visit are also very light, such as Meili Snow Mountain, Haba Snow Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge. The area is not only high in altitude, but also inconvenient in transportation, so you should be mentally prepared before coming. Here, I only send a short version of the route guide. It only takes two days to arrange the scenic spots in Zhongdian County.

[[Many pictures] Save money in the end] On the first day of Shangri-La, the general traffic metropolis arrived in Zhongdian County before noon. When you arrive, you can immediately find a place called the Fire Brigade Guest House (you can take a taxi). Although the environment is not very sanitary, the bed is passable. In addition, the price is extremely cheap, 10 yuan/person. The most important thing is that the front is a place where chartered cars are concentrated, which is very convenient. If you go to Zhongdian in the morning, you can take CMB (ticket 3-5 yuan) to Napahai (ticket 10 yuan) at the bus station and return at noon. If you go to Zhongdian at noon, Napahai can be omitted, and there will be many such scenery afterwards. Ask for directions in the afternoon, and walk to the No.3 bus stop (fare 1 yuan) to the destination, Kadansong Zanlin Temple. Songzanlin Temple, known as Little Potala Palace, is well worth visiting. (Tickets to 30 yuan, no student tickets) Songzanlin Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, where you will experience what a real Buddhist monk is like. They will not try their best to earn or cheat tourists like the secular monks in the Buddhist temples mentioned above. All the expenses here are voluntary except the tickets. You can ask the living Buddha to touch the top and pray, or you can ask the little Lama to pray in the Hall of the Great Hero. He will give you a bracelet, and you can give incense money at will, from a few cents to hundreds. Tickets for Songzanlin Temple are the cheapest and most value-for-money among all the scenic spots in Yunnan, but they can be avoided. After arriving at the main entrance of the temple, go straight along the stone road, enter an iron gate, and then enter the scenic spot. Save this 65,438+00 yuan and donate it to a temple or ask for a prayer wheel (the smallest 25 yuan). If polished, it will be closer to the Buddha. The first day of Zhongdian's trip was loosely arranged. Zhongdian is more than 3000 meters above sea level, and the altitude sickness is unknown. On the second day, Zhongdian's famous scenic spots include Pudacuo National Forest Park and Baishuitai, both on the way to Zhongdian. However, the bus is inconvenient, and it is basically necessary to charter a car. It's best to gather more people when you charter a car, and then tell the driver to go directly to Daju County (near Jinsha River) and not to return to Zhongdian after swimming in Baishuitai, so you will find the beauty of the designed route after that.

[[Multi-picture] Saving money in the end Yunnan value-added self-help tour guide] The chartered fare of Shangri-La, Yunnan is from Zhongdian to Dali County, each 500 yuan -600 yuan. Have a full meal in the morning, because lunch may be eaten with dinner. Pudacuo National Forest Park, ticket 190, recommended in summer and autumn. Baishuitai: a unique natural wonder formed by erosion. Admission fee with student ID card is half price in 50 yuan. In fact, the scenic spot is not worth that much money, but it's still the same sentence: since I'm here, there are many restaurants coming down from Baishuitai scenic spot, so I can go further down the mountain. I especially recommend a small shop called "Flavor Restaurant". The proprietress is very simple, you can reduce the price with her a little. It's best to order a plate of mushroom and chicken fir with Yunnan characteristics, which can be eaten in this store in 20 yuan. Hum, if in Kunming, five times. After eating, I picked up two bottles of mineral water in her backyard, which was no worse than bottled water. After eating, get on the bus and go to Daju County. The road is difficult to walk at first, but after all, "the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak", and you will pass the Haba Snow Mountain on this road. If you are lucky, you can see snow at the top of the mountain. When you get to Jinsha River, you will see Tiger Leaping Gorge, and all this is free. Chartered cars can only be sent to Jinsha River. Finding a ferry (5- 10 yuan/person) will be too late to cross the river, but you have to walk a few more steps to stop near the seat of Juju Township Government. We recommend a hotel called Snowflake Hotel. Clean, the proprietress is also very enthusiastic, and meals can be provided at home, depending on the situation. On the third day, you can choose to take the Tiger Leaping Gorge-a dream of many people. Jump from the tiger to the upstream, cross the canyon between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, and reach Lijiang. But you should be fully prepared, about two days. Tiger Leaping Gorge is also collecting tickets, but you can escape. This kind of junk ticket won't escape. I'm sorry for our superior socialist system. Methods Ask the local people.

[[Multi-picture] Save money in the end Yunnan value-for-money self-help tour guide] If Shangri-La, Yunnan can't bear to jump on foot, book a bus ticket to Lijiang at the hotel tomorrow; Daju goes to Maoniuping (middle ropeway) 63 yuan, Yunshan Ping 40 yuan and Lijiang City 35 yuan. The most important thing is that if you are lucky and no one finds out, you will unconsciously save the 160 yuan (80 yuan mountain entrance fee, 80 yuan ancient city maintenance fee). Let's continue to despise the unreasonable tickets in Lijiang. Only in this way will you find out how worthwhile the money you spent on chartered cars yesterday. The scenery in Lijiang, the fourth stop, is really beautiful, but the poor tourism management in Lijiang belongs to the same category as her scenery in the whole country. On the first day, if you come from Daju, have a good meal before getting on the bus, then get off at Maoniuping and take the cableway to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (the cableway is two-way to 60 yuan, no student ticket). If you are lucky, you can still see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain when there is no fog. One word: beautiful.

[[Many pictures] Save money in the end] There are three ropeways on Lijiang Snow Mountain, namely the middle ropeway of Maoniuping mentioned above, the small ropeway of Yunshan Ping at the next stop of the shuttle bus (40 yuan) and the newly developed big ropeway (160 yuan). The first two ropeways can see the snow-capped mountains from a distance, and the latter can directly send tourists to the snowy areas of the snow-capped mountains. But relatively speaking, the middle ropeway in Maoniuping is quite cost-effective. For tourists from the north, it is not worthwhile to spend 160 yuan to see the snow. In addition, I personally think that Yulong Snow Mountain is a place that can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be used for fun. The development of ropeway is purely a group of stupid officials wasting things for vested interests. This kind of direct contact between human beings and snow-capped mountains is self-evident. Once again, I despise the tourism executives in Lijiang. PS: No matter which ropeway, you should put on your coat. It's very cold on the mountain. When you get off the ropeway, you can take bus No.7 (be careful not to take minibus, although they are all No.7). The ticket collection rules are: Maoniuping-Yunshanping (Baishuihe)-Lijiang City, and 5 yuan/person is collected at every two adjacent stops. Baishui River is worth a visit. Although it is artificial, it is also beautiful. No charge. The newly developed scenic spots such as Ganhaizi, Yushui Village and Dongba Valley on the snow-capped mountains are of little significance, especially Dongba Valley, which is a place to eat and is simply vulgar. In addition, don't trust any tour guides and businessmen easily on the snowy mountain, remember. If you enter the Snow Mountain from Lijiang City, you have to pay the entrance fee of 160 yuan. The tour direction is opposite, and the route is the same as above. But don't rush into the snow-capped mountains too late, or you may have to queue for a long time by cableway. Old Town of Lijiang is close to the new city, so we must live in the old city. There are many inns in the old city, but there are not many with high cost performance and good reputation. Personally, I recommend two newly graduated college students to open an inn and live freely. I stayed there for a few days and drank with them every day for a few days. Si Tong and Yu Fei are both very interesting people. I also met them in Lijiang self-help forum before I went to Lijiang. Lying in the yard of Free Life Post Office is the coolest, and you can bask in the sun almost from morning till night, which is very comfortable. If you want to live comfortably in go on road trip, Lijiang, you must choose the right place to come here. There was nothing to visit the next morning. You can go to the legendary Black Dragon Pool Park. Tickets to 60 yuan are half price for students-it's better to grab them. However, I heard that tickets before seven o'clock in the morning are free, or if you show your Gu Wei ticket, it will be free. I haven't tried it myself-what's the point of going to the so-called "park" for a normal person who has been to Pudacuo National Forest Park and seen the whole picture of the snow-capped mountains? It's said that the ticket for Wangulou 15 yuan overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient city is sheer nonsense.

[[Multi-picture] How to save money in Yunnan value-added self-help tour] In the afternoon, I will go to the "Mufu" in Lijiang, Yunnan, with tickets 35 yuan, student ID 20 yuan and two 35 yuan. Although the ticket price is similar to the off-season of the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is also the most standardized tourist attraction in western Yunnan. There is a free explanation at the entrance, which is quite interesting. Just pay attention: just don't follow him to buy wine and tea and draw lots to worship Buddha like in Shilin. After dinner, I had free activities in Free Life Hotel and Stone Yufei, and visited the night view of Lijiang River. If you have petty bourgeoisie money or petty bourgeoisie temperament, then you can go clubbing. It's cool and melancholy. The arrangement of the third day is discussed by everyone: if the train goes to Kunming during the day, it is best to get up early so that you can arrive at night. If you take the night train back to Kunming, you can get up early and take some photos in the ancient city. If you are in the daytime, the background of your photo will only be people. You can go to Shuhe ancient town after taking photos. You can rent a bicycle or take a van in Shuhe Ancient Town. However, if you take a van, don't take a special line at the entrance of the ancient city, but ask for directions, walk to the Li Kelong Supermarket on Shangri-La Avenue in the new city, and take a bus at Longquan (the fare is 2 yuan). Get off at the turntable in front of Shuhe Town, then turn west on the dirt road and walk into Shuhe, so you can avoid the tickets of the ancient town of 30 yuan.

[[Multi-picture] How to save money in the end] There are several ways for Lijiang, Yunnan to return home from Lijiang: A: fly back to your city directly from Lijiang Airport; B: fly back to Kunming from Lijiang first; A) Fly back to Kunming, all tickets to 740 yuan, usually with a discount. Specific inquiry. B) Take the high-speed train back to Kunming, ticket 190 yuan. C) Take the night sleeper bus back to Kunming, ticket 152 yuan. D) Take the express train (79 yuan) or CMB (47 yuan) back to Dali, and then transfer to Kunming in Dali. This route is the most economical. If you have enough time, even if you can't buy a train ticket in Dali, it is worthwhile to live in Dali New Town for one day. At night, you can also see the night view of Dali and the ball culture buildings with Dali characteristics. PS: 1。 No matter what souvenirs you buy in Lijiang, you have to bargain and give about one-third of the asking price. 2.7 yuan can be rented in downtown Lijiang. You can also see more tourist routes in Yunnan.
