Traveling from Yichang to Kunming, I want to visit Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La and Xishuangbanna, and ask experts for advice on the most economical and convenient tourist routes.
The weather is hot now, and there are often heavy rains in the south. It is not recommended to go to Banna. Of course, if you have enough travel time, it's not bad to go there.
It depends on which city you want to go to. It is hot recently, so it is not recommended to go to Banna. It is more suitable to go to Shangri-La, Lijiang and Dali on the northern line.
You go to Kunming first, and then you can arrange it like this:
Kunming
On the first day, I went to Jiuxiang Cave (4A Scenic Area). Personally, I think the scenery is better than Shilin and the tickets are not as expensive as Shilin. It takes about two hours to visit this scenic spot. Someone visited Jiuxiang and Shilin on the Internet one day, but time was tight, so it was not easy to take the bus from Jiuxiang to Shilin. It is recommended to play slowly for two days.
The next morning, I went to Shilin (5A), which is very famous. I didn't feel strange to see it after I went to Jiuxiang. Shilin is a must-see for group tours. It's crowded and noisy Stone Forest Tickets 175, including Lunan Stone Forest and Naigu Stone Forest Scenic Area. Naigu Stone Forest is not as well developed as Lunan Stone Forest. A few kilometers away from Lunan Stone Forest, there are buses in the scenic spot. Naigu Stone Forest is very big, and because there are few tourists and it is quiet, I think it is more fun than Lunan Stone Forest. Go to Dianchi Lake in the afternoon. There are two parks near Dianchi Lake, one is Daguan Park, with a ticket price of 20 yuan. There is the Grand View Building, which is famous for being the best in the world. The other is Haigeng Park, ticket 10. Dianchi Lake has a wide field of vision, facing the Western Hills.
Dali
Dali went to Erhai Lake, the ancient city of Dali, to worship the Three Sacred Pagodas. Erhai Lake feels similar to Dianchi Lake, but it is not very special. You can cruise on the lake. The Three Pagodas of Dali Ancient City is a 5A scenic spot, which can be considered as a must-see attraction. It is recommended to leave more time to finish swimming in Lijiang. I went with a delegation, and I visited these places in one day. I'm not impressed.
Nowadays, donkey friends all admire the place of Shuanglang, which is said to be the gathering place of petty bourgeoisie, but I have never been there.
Lijiang
Be sure to go to Yulong Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley and Baishuitai. I went there in April. Take the big Yulong cableway to the cableway station to see glaciers and play with snow. The sightseeing route extends to an altitude of 4600 meters. There will be a slight feeling of hypoxia. You can visit Yulong Snow Mountain in the morning and go to Blue Moon Valley in the afternoon. The mountains are covered with snow, and the valleys are really full of peach blossoms, which are warm as spring. The color of water is beautiful, like the feeling of Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou.
Old Town of Lijiang. If you go to Lijiang with a group, the tour guide will let you pay 80% of the maintenance fee of the ancient city as soon as you arrive in the city. In fact, you don't need to check in to enter the ancient city. However, if you want to buy tickets for Yulong Snow Mountain, you must have vouchers for ancient city protection fees to sell tickets for you. There are many small bars and special inns in Old Town of Lijiang. You can stay here for one or two nights and swim slowly. There are often billboards and carpooling in front of the hotel. You can pay attention to Lugu Lake for at least two days. One-day tour in Lijiang costs 460 yuan a day. I am having a swell time.
Run to the sea. This is dispensable, but I think you will feel powerless if you go to Erhai Lake and Yulong Snow Mountain and then go to this scenic spot. Very ordinary lake, the lake is relatively clear, and you can play horse riding and archery farmhouse projects. Many travel agencies in Old Town of Lijiang offer one-day tours, 100- 150 yuan for one day.
I haven't been to Lugu Lake, so I can't give you advice in this respect.
Shangri-la:
The most famous is Pudacuo National Forest Park, where Jason and Nana got married, which seems to be the most expensive scenic spot in China. 260 yuan. The scenic spot is very big, so you need to take a bus tour. The main attractions are Zhudu Lake and Bitahai. There is a wooden plank road by the lake, and it takes about an hour and a half to walk around the lake. Bitahai, the bus can't drive in front of me when I go. You can only watch from a distance on the mountain road.
Dukezong ancient city. Although this ancient city is not as big as Old Town of Lijiang, it looks more rugged and simple. This is the architectural style of Kangba Tibetans. A fire broke out last year. I don't know if it will be good after the fire. You can visit the ancient city in half a day. The other half day goes to Songzanlin Temple, which is called Little Potala Palace.
Xishuangbanna:
The most worthwhile place to visit is Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences (5A). Tickets 104, shuttle bus 40 (only in the western area) and shuttle bus 100 (including the eastern and western areas). The botanical garden is well planned. If you are interested in plants, it's really an eye-opener. The western area is artificially planned, and the eastern area is a primitive tropical rainforest, also known as the Green Stone Forest Scenic Area.
If you consult a travel agency, you will generally recommend Keno Shanzhai, Rainforest Valley, Primitive Forest Park and Wild Elephant Valley. In fact, these are just so-so, so are the tropical rainforests. Just go to one or two. You can also go to Wangtianshu Scenic Area, but Wangtianshu is far from Jinghong City, so it is best to take a one-day tour.
There are many parks in Jinghong city, and you can go to the tropical flower garden. Personally, I feel good. Although Monroe's Big Buddha Temple is magnificent, it is embarrassing. And Man Ting Park, you can go and have a look. In addition, there is a snack street near Lancang River Bridge, which is very busy at night.
That's about it. You can ask specific questions ~
