I have returned from a successful trip to Yunnan, and it's better to listen to someone who has been there than to read ten guides!! Yunnan is a cross-city tour, and the distance between each scenic spot is quite far, so it's easy to step into pitfalls if you don't make a good guide😭. Based on my own experience, I have compiled this guide📝, hoping to help the sisters who are preparing to go to Yunnan. - 1️⃣Weather & Dressing The weather in Yunnan in January and February is about 10-20 degrees☀️, which is quite comfortable! But the temperature difference between day and night is large, in addition to the regular autumn and winter travel luggage, also prepare a down jacket/assault jacket, it's still very cold on the snow mountain🏔️! Because there are many stone roads in Yunnan, be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes. The suitcase doesn't need to be too big, you can bring a backpack🎒, it's really tiring to see others dragging their suitcases💦! Usually, the suitcase is kept in the hotel or the car, and a small backpack is carried for outings, which is easy~ - 2️⃣Overview of Yunnan Travel The main scenic areas are in Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna Kunming is convenient for transit, and there are many flights and cheap tickets The most common route is the Kunming-Dali-Lijiang line, if you want to go to other cities, you need to arrange a few more days - 3️⃣Play Method Cross-city tourism, the distance is huge!! Usually, it's either joining a group, chartering a car, or self-driving. It's not recommended to self-drive for the first time, you have to drive 4-5 hours a day, change a city every two days, if you don't have the strength, you should quit directly, and you don't have the energy to go to the scenic area😮‍💨! If you have a high budget, you can charter a car🚙, or find a pure play small group, which is similar to chartering a car, including food, accommodation, travel, and tickets, which is more cost-effective. Joining a group is the most convenient and the choice of most people, but you must make sure that it is fully qualified, the itinerary is more guaranteed, and after-sales can be processed faster‼️Keep your eyes open, don't be greedy for small benefits - 4️⃣Our Itinerary This time I contacted the group in advance, confirmed their qualifications and everything, it's a real local group. After landing in Kunming, they have a person in charge to pick us up to the hotel, the first day is free in Kunming, let us rest well, and the official travel starts on the second day. 📍D1: Arrive in Kunming-Check in hotel-Free activity 📍D2: Kunming: Stone Forest Scenic Area-Long Street Banquet-Chuxiong 📍D3: Depart for Dali-Erhai-Golden Shuttle Island-Ideal Country-Flower Sea 📍D4: Dali Ancient City-Lashi Sea-Lishui Jinsha-Lijiang Ancient City 📍D5: Shuhe Ancient Town Yulong Snow Mountain-Blue Moon Valley-Return to Kunming 📍D6: Return home 💬Tips: If you want to go to Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna, Lugu Lake, you need to arrange a few more days, the journey in Yunnan is long, but the scenery along the way is very good, those who get carsick must prepare carsickness medicine in advance💊! ⭐️If you have any other questions, you can ask me, I will reply when I see it~ … Yunnan·China
