What fun things are there in Zuo Quan? Let’s make some arrangements for a day of fun. We recommend going with your girlfriend, eating and relaxing. Just have fun and not be tired.

Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Xishuangbanna

1. Kunming

Kunming is actually a big city. There is nothing interesting. There is a huge World Expo park. There are a lot of flowers, plants and so on. You can go shopping. There are rare datura flowers and improved poppies, which are still very beautiful. The Stone Forest is full of stones, but it would be a pity not to go to the Stone Forest when you arrive in Kunming. After all, karst landforms are rare and are a geographical wonder. Since you are here, why not take a look around. Dianchi Lake is also called Kunming Lake, you can go and play there. When you get there, you can take a speedboat and negotiate the price first. It was winter when I went to Dianchi Lake, and there were the last batch of seagulls. Before you get on the boat, ask if there are any seagulls. If there are any, buy some bread from the bread seller on the shore. It costs about one or two yuan each. Remember to buy two more. You can feed the seagulls while sitting on the speedboat. It is very interesting. . Dianchi Lake is next to Xishan Mountain. If you are not in a hurry, you can climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery. Xishan is a national 4A scenic spot. Jiuxiang is also a very good attraction. It just takes a long time to take the bus and is a bit far from the city, but it is really worth seeing. As for eating, it’s Guoqiao rice noodles. To be honest, the food in Yunnan is not really delicious, but since you are here, you should still try it.

2. Dali

I have been to Dali many times, and there is still a lot to do. I’m talking about Dali’s Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, and Erhai moon. Dali is where the Bai people live, so the headwear of Bai women also has the meaning of wind, flowers, snow and moon. The long tassels are wind, the flowers on them are flowers, the white ones are snow, and the shape is curved like the moon. If you go to Dali, you must go to the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple. I forgot the ticket price is 100 or 120. There is also a three-tower park. The Three Pagodas are the prototype of Tianlong Temple in "The Legend of the Dragon" and are quite famous. There is also a pool in the garden where you can see the reflection of the three towers, which is quite nice. You can go to Cangshan and Erhai Lake to play together. Take the ropeway to Cangshan. The 68 price includes the ropeway fee, Tianlong Cave, Tianlong Temple and Baiyuan Garden. These attractions are next to each other and very close. After playing, you can go to Erhai Lake and Butterfly Spring. Nanzhao Fengqing Island is located on the Erhai Sea. There is a Foreigner Street in the ancient city of Dali where you can go shopping. There are lanes extending left and right in the Foreigner Street. There is a jewelry store in the lane leading to the bar. The stuff is pretty good and not too expensive, so you can go and check it out. If the accommodation requirements are higher, then stay in Xiaguan. If it is convenient for fun, I still think it is more convenient to stay in the ancient city. If you live in the ancient city, you can definitely stay in a youth hostel. The conditions are average, and you need to bring your own toiletries, etc., but I don’t think it is necessary to stay in a residential house in the ancient city. June is considered the peak tourist season, which will rob tourists. There is no need to worry about this when staying in a youth hostel, and there are computers with free Internet access. When visiting Dali, you can rent a van from one of the vans around the ancient city. You should first discuss with the driver where you want to go and then negotiate the price. Remember to negotiate the price. The master will give you a lot of advice, it’s up to you to consider this yourself. The master I met last time was quite good. You can ask him to drive you to a place where you can drink three courses of tea, and then go all the way to Cangshan Erhai Butterfly Spring. There is also a Tianlong Babu Film and Television City which is quite fun. The specialty foods of Dali are fish casserole, Dengchuan bait cubes and three-course tea. There are also cold chicken rice noodles and pea jelly that are also very good. There are three kinds of tea, and other snacks are available in the ancient city, so you can choose what you like. I personally recommend the cold chicken rice noodles and pea jelly. The fish in the casserole has an earthy smell. I am not used to river fish, but my classmates enjoyed it. It depends on your personal taste.

3. Lijiang

The tourist attractions in Lijiang are really too simple, including Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Dayan Ancient Town (Lijiang Ancient Town), Shuhe Ancient Town, and Black Dragon Pool. Those are the few places. When you come to Lijiang, you have to live in the ancient city or town. The ancient city is more lively, while the ancient town is cleaner. But there are also quiet places in the ancient town, and there are also noisy bar streets in the ancient town. It cannot be generalized. To enter Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you have to pay a fee of 160, including an 80 mountain entry fee and an 80 ancient city maintenance fee. If you only go to the ancient city and not the snow-capped mountains, you don’t have to pay the 80 RMB maintenance fee for the ancient city. But how can you come all the way and not go to the snow-capped mountains? It takes a day to visit the snow mountains. It is recommended to book a one-day tour of the snow mountains in Lijiang. It is very cost-effective. After seeing the snow-capped mountains scenery on the first day, it’s time to change your mood. On the second day, you can visit the lively ancient city. There are thousands of merchants and shops in the ancient city, which will definitely surprise you. However, there are tips for visiting the ancient city. When buying things, don’t always rush to stores on crowded streets. The same thing will be much cheaper if you buy it in a quiet alley and ask for it. Negotiating the price is also very important. Don't buy any silver jewelry, as it contains impurities or is simply a scam.

But it’s okay to buy something cheap and take it with you. Just remember to pay a similar price. For example, for a silver bracelet, you can pay up to 40 yuan for a good one. Real money is calculated based on grams. There are many clothing stores in the ancient city. Remember to bargain when buying something. Generally, you can bargain for one-third to one-quarter of the price, but it still depends on the specific item. You can also go and have a look at Mufu. There are too many alleys in the ancient city, but if you meet an old lady selling fried jelly, you can buy a box and try it. One box is just right for two people, so you won’t get tired of eating too much. After the fun is over, you can go to Black Dragon Pond to have fun. It's not far from the ancient city. Just ask for directions and you'll get there. Passing by Red Sun Plaza, there is a large pavilion opposite where you can watch Lishui Sands performances, each performance costs 100 yuan per person. You have to worship Chairman Mao in Red Sun Square. There are three things that survived the earthquake in Lijiang. First, the ancient city of Lijiang didn’t fall. Second, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain didn’t fall. The third is this magical Chairman Mao who didn’t fall (囧). The tickets for Black Dragon Pool are, well, very strange. Sometimes yes and sometimes not. If there are a lot of people, just sneak in. If there aren't a lot of people, just walk in without hesitation. Generally speaking, tickets are not required. At 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening, there will be old ladies dancing in the ancient city. You can join in the fun in Sifang Square. On the third day, you can go to Shuhe Ancient Town. The ancient town is mainly quiet. Find a coffee shop near the water and sit by the window. It is a very relaxing time. There are bonfires and dancing in the ancient town around seven o'clock in the evening. Unlike the ancient city, the dancers here are all young men and women, and the atmosphere is better than that in the ancient city. The ancient town also requires tickets, but you can escape. It is said that you can enter without buying a ticket before 7 am or after 6 pm, and you do not need to buy a ticket if you live in the ancient town. Of course, if you live in the ancient town and want to visit the ancient town during the day but don’t want to buy tickets, there are ways to do it. Either take advantage of the noon time when the gatekeepers are eating and taking a nap, or be careful and enter from behind their ticket office. That is the left side of the door = =. A large group of the ticket sellers often gather together to chat, so don’t worry, just walk past them without looking away. The bar street in Feihua Chushui District of the ancient town is very famous. Resident singers start singing from 12 noon. In the afternoon, there are quieter songs, and in the evening it gets CRAZY. Because I am currently studying in Lijiang, I have a relatively detailed understanding of Lijiang. If you want to stay in an inn, the price is generally between 120 and 300 in June. You can choose by yourself. As for eating, there are Lijiang cakes that are really unpalatable, but you can buy yak yogurt, which is quite delicious, especially the one soaked in water in the ancient town for 5 yuan a bottle. You can take a look at Tiger Leaping Gorge. Find a van to charter in the city, negotiate the price, and then tell the master that you can also stop by to see Lashihai when you come back. The master is a local, and you can ask him to take you there for free. . But Lashihai is nothing to see. I guarantee that there is really no delicious food in Lijiang. If you don’t mind, you can try the rice sausage, also called blood sausage, which is rare and quite delicious.

4. Xishuangbanna

It is recommended to go to Xishuangbanna instead of Shangri-La because the service attitude of Shangri-La's tour guides is too bad, too bad, too bad, not just average. My classmate and my brother were very angry when we came back from Shangri-La. The tour guides there were very rude. If you don’t buy the things he recommends and don’t spend money on self-funded items, they will say rude things and make people cry = = . Don't make yourself miserable on your honeymoon. For things like the sea of ??flowers, I suggest you look at the pictures on Baidu. There are delicious fruits all year round in Xishuangbanna~~There is also the famous, rare and cute pineapple without holes~~It is delicious and does not need to be soaked in salt water. A lot of fresh fruits are the biggest temptation in Banna! Then comes the essential Water Splashing Festival. Go to Xishuangbanna Dai Garden and see the Water Splashing Festival every day. Because it is said that this activity project has been fully purchased by the project operator, so this is the only place in the whole country that has the right to organize this profit-making activity. It’s still fun, rent a set of Dai clothes, and everyone you know or don’t know can have a great time~. You can also check out the Dai folk houses, which have a different style. In fact, I still recommend taking a group tour to Banna, because the scenic spots there are really far away from each other. But if you go to Banna, you have to take a plane.

So my suggestion is to play in Kunming first. After we finished playing, we took the train to Dali, then Lijiang, and then to Banna. You can go home when you're done. If Butterfly Spring is the last stop in Dali, you can go straight out of the Butterfly Spring gate to a road with traffic lights and take a bus or minibus to Lijiang. If not, just take the train. The bus price is about 40 and the train is 35, but the bus is definitely more comfortable than the train. The train is indeed a bit scary.

In short, Dali in Kunming is full of tourist attractions, while in Lijiang it is just leisurely leisurely leisurely wandering around. Please find the prices of various attractions in Dali on your own on Baidu. They are clearly written, so I won’t copy and paste them. I won’t go into details about precautions. Anyway, sunscreen, parasol, etc. are essential otherwise the sun will burn you to death. Remember to bring a light jacket as it gets cold here at night and the temperature difference is a bit big. It doesn’t matter if girls are too lazy to bring one. Naxi shawls are sold in Lijiang. Buy one and throw it on to protect yourself from the sun during the day and keep warm at night.

If you have any questions, please ask. I’m so thirsty as I type this that I don’t even have a drink of water = =
