Yunnan, a place you must visit once in your lifetime. In Yunnan, time stands still, and there's peace and tranquility. It's imbued with so much meaning and emotion! If you're going on a trip, make sure you go to Yunnan!

Just got back from a trip to Yunnan. My personal experience: 6 days spent a little over 1,000 yuan, and I visited almost all the key attractions! Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, Dali, Lijiang Old Town, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, etc.~

This time I found a very famous local tour guide online to arrange the tour. I was a little hesitant at first, but after Dongdong's patient introduction, I trusted her, so I invited my best friend to travel with us in Yunnan. She is really the best tour guide I have ever met. I suggest you consult her before going.

I went there for 6 days and 5 nights. The following is my itinerary recommendation, I hope it is useful to you. Since it is a group tour, the attractions in the itinerary cannot be changed. They are all classic attractions, so we didn't plan to change them. If we don't complete the classic itinerary of one place before going to another, the experience will not be as good. So we completed the itinerary before going to another place.

D1: Kunming airport pick-up, check in to hotel (special hot spring hotel) 

D2: Stone Forest Scenic Area + Afternoon Tea (Yiling Roast Duck, Wild Mushroom Hot Pot)

D3: Open-top jeep tour around Erhai Lake + Internet celebrity check-in + private yacht 360-degree sea tour + Dali Ancient Town (Special Tuba Bowl) 

D4: Lashi Lake Wetland Park + Lijiang Ancient Town + Lishui Jinsha Show (Fire Pond Chicken) 

D5: Shuhe Ancient Town + Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier Park Cableway + Blue Moon Valley + Return to Kunming

D6: Visit Kunming Flower Market + Airport drop-off according to flight

Dongdong is such a great tour guide. I was very satisfied with the itinerary she arranged. I was so lucky to have her help us arrange it this time. She is also very good at taking photos. This trip left no regrets. It was a very relaxing and happy time. I strongly recommend that anyone who wants to go contact her.

                 &nb sp;                 &nbs p;                 &nbs p;               Food sharing!

    Eat a special wild mushroom, the soup is the essence

   Eat a super delicious Yunnan cross-bridge rice noodles, beef, fragrant and crispy, it is worth a try!

About accommodation

I had been worried that the hotels in Yunnan would be very bad, but I was pleasantly surprised! Accommodation is uniformly arranged in a bustling hotel with panoramic open-air views.

Although I've been to Yunnan several times, I still leave all the chores like planning, booking tickets, finding good restaurants, researching itineraries, and booking hotels to my guide, Dongdong. Why?

1. I can experience the most immersive experience, visiting more attractions in less time, with a flexible and unrestricted itinerary.

2. I skip the lines at scenic spots and enjoy VIP treatment throughout the entire trip, which is very impressive. The hotel is not only in a great location, but also offers a special panoramic room where you can enjoy the night view from your bed.

3. She specializes in independent travel and is professional, reputable, and familiar with every inch of Yunnan. Most importantly, she truly treats tourists as friends.

The blue sky and sea of ​​Yunnan are the same color, just like a painting in my eyes. I have never seen such a beautiful scenery. If possible, I really want to live here with the one I love for the rest of my life.

Notes:

(1) Yunnan has a plateau southwest monsoon climate, and the temperature difference between day and night is also very large. Please bring clothes according to local weather conditions. The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are relatively strong. Ladies who love beauty should prepare sun protection (sunglasses, sun hats, sunscreen, umbrellas), moisturizing products, cosmetics, and hydrating masks.

(2) You must bring valid ID, such as ID card, military ID card, passport, etc. when boarding a plane (or train). Children without ID cards must bring their original household registration booklet or passport. If you lose your ID, please go to the local police station to get a temporary boarding certificate.

(3) Yunnan is at a high altitude and may cause altitude sickness. Bring medicine, drink plenty of water, and buy more chocolate, beef and other foods.

(4) People entering Yunnan from all over the country need to scan the code to declare their health status. Whether entering or leaving the airport (train station) or scenic spot, you need to show the health code.
