I plan to travel to Yunnan in November. The planned route is Shenzhen-Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Shenzhen. Will 4-5 days be enough? Will it be rushed?
The order of travel is correct. You won’t be rushed by plane. If you take a train, you won’t have enough time!
And you are still asking about accommodation. I estimate that the cheap and affordable accommodation in Dali and Lijiang has almost been booked, so you should make preparations earlier. It is recommended to book online in advance (Ctrip, Elong, Qunar.com group buying), or Taobao, as there are often merchants holding activities. Don't come here to look for an apartment again, it's very troublesome. Generally when traveling (especially office workers), they usually book their flight tickets one month in advance, which will be much cheaper.
Kunming attractions: Green Lake, Lecture Hall, Nanping Street, Grand View Garden, Xishan, Ethnic Village (ticket 90, half price for students), Stone Forest (go to the Eastern Passenger Terminal to take the shuttle bus, ticket 170 yuan, students Ticket 100 yuan), Jiuxiang Cave;

Dali Attractions: Dali Ancient City (get off the train and take bus No. 8 to reach the ancient city directly. People Road, Foreigner Street, and Honglongjing are more lively), Cangshan Ximatan Cableway (next to the ancient city, make a small bun and go up), Erhai Lake (you can choose to take a large cruise or rent a mountain bike to ride the sea-ring road), and the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple , Tianlong Babu Film and Television City (not recommended), Butterfly Spring (not recommended), Xizhou Folk Residences, Shuanglang.
Dali snacks: Looking back at cold chicken rice noodles and roasted milk fans;
Dali accommodation: choose to live in the ancient city or by Erhai Lake. For sea view rooms, it is recommended to live in Caicun or Shuanglang. Caicun is very close to the ancient city, and Shuanglang is a certain distance away from the ancient city. You need to take a shuttle bus to Shuanglang, so try to book in advance.

Transportation in Lijiang: After getting off the train in Lijiang, there are buses that go directly to the ancient city, but there are many people. If you are careful about thieves, there are also minivans. You can negotiate a good price, ten yuan per person.
Attractions: Lijiang Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, Baisha Ancient Town, Lashihai Horseback Riding (not recommended), Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lijiang Impression Song and Dance, Lugu Lake (you have to take a bus from Lijiang Passenger Station, it takes about 6 or 7 hours to get there)
< p> Food recommendation: There are many snacks to eat in the ancient city. For the special ones, go outside the ancient city because it is more expensive inside. Then ask the boss, black goat hot pot, Lijiang cured pork ribs. Regarding shopping, go to Lijiang Ancient Town instead of the main street. There are many side alleys where things are very cheap, so you have to check the prices, and see if there are any street stalls, they are also very cheap; I hope my answer will be helpful to you!
