This year's National Day, I played in Kunming for 5 days. Jinan's National Day has been extremely cold, and when it arrives in Kunming, it is still as warm as spring. No wonder in autumn and winter, so many people are willing to come to Kunming to play, my girlfriend said, in fact, people, like migratory birds, are willing to go to warm places to spend the winter, haha.

About the itinerary:

We started our trip on October 2nd. In a total of 5 days, there are still quite a lot of attractions in Kunming, such as Cuihu Park, Dounan Flower Market, Guandu Ancient Town, Stone Forest, etc.

About transportation:

A certain Hi Car Rental, this is my favorite national chain car rental brand. All his stores are directly operated, the service is very good, and the vehicles are new. In case of driving violations or other traffic accidents, they can also be properly dealt with. About

accommodation:
There

are a lot of homestays in Kunming, but the prices of homestays have risen during the National Day. Usually five or six hundred homestays are basically about 1,000 during the National Day. So we ended up staying at the InterContinental Hotel instead of choosing a homestay.

Kunming travel account

Because there is only a 5-day trip, deducting the round-trip time, the real time to play is about four and a half days, and renting a car and driving can greatly improve efficiency. We didn't want to make ourselves nervous, so we took into account the efficiency of the trip and the diversity of attractions in 5 days.

When you arrive at Changshui Airport, find a certain Hi store and go through the car rental procedures. This time I rented a Lingpai, and the car was in good condition.

After picking up the car, we went directly to Guandu Ancient Town.

Before I left, my father told him that he must take Yunzi back. And I, there is a high probability that I will completely forget about this when I play later, so I decided to complete the task first before playing.

There

are many shops selling chess pieces, and we went to a shop that looked very tall. When I arrived, I found that even the chess pieces were so particular. I have to say that the Go pieces here are very good to the touch with your hands, which is the kind of coolness that I like very much, no wonder Dad, you want to have this kind of chess piece.

We haven't played much in Guandu Ancient Town, and we have been to many ancient towns in recent years, and we don't think there is anything special about visiting Guandu Ancient Town.

Dinner was not eaten anywhere else, but directly at the InterContinental Hotel. There is a buffet here, and the taste is not bad.

We went to see the performance of Yunnan Yingxiang, and this performance ticket had to be bought in advance. I have to say that these performances in Teacher Yang Liping's theater are really great. Whether it's the sound and light or the dance movements of the actors, they are all very good-looking anyway. We also took a lot of photos when we watched the show, and I hope these beautiful pictures can be stored in my mind for a long, long time.

Note, try to be optimistic about the location when buying tickets. The fare is also different for different positions, if it is the first three rows, the fare is cheaper, 275 yuan when we bought it. If it is a middle seat, the fare will be more expensive.

My girlfriend and I both said that Yunnan Yingxiang's performance is definitely ranked among the top three performances we have seen.

I

found a random restaurant to eat dinner, and I didn't step on the thunder at all in the past few days of playing in Kunming, and the meal tasted very good. There are many types of dishes in this restaurant. Compared to meat, I love their stir-fried dishes. You know, it's not as easy as you think to make stir-fry well.

Dianchi Lake Good Scenery
The

next day we went to Dianchi Lake first. Dianchi Lake is not only an important attraction in Kunming, but also has an indispensable position in the entire Yunnan Province.

Dianchi Lake is very large, and the lake water here is also very clear. If you come here in the depths of winter, you can also see red-billed gulls flying over from Siberia. Of course, I can't see anything now.

The

air around Dianchi Lake is exceptionally good, the sky is blue, and the white clouds are big and big, like big marshmallows.

We played in Dianchi Lake for about 2 hours, and there were locals running around Dianchi Lake, which felt very lifelike. For people like us who are new to Kunming, we can't run, after all, Kunming itself is also more than 1,000 meters above sea level. And we haven't even run in Jinan.

After returning from Dianchi Lake, I had a casual meal and then went to 1903 Park. This park is a cultural and creative park, similar to Chongqing's Eling Park. There are cultural and creative shops in 1903 Park, as well as some restaurants. We went to a restaurant to eat mushrooms, after all, we have all come to Yunnan, so let's eat some mushrooms and go back.

There are

simply too many mushrooms here in Yunnan, and interestingly, some stores will also record when preparing mushrooms. It made us very panicked, and it felt like we were preparing to go to the hospital.

All the mushrooms here need to be boiled for at least 18 minutes before eating, note that any mushroom must be done first.

After eating the mushrooms, we started heading to the Dounan Flower Market. There are two time slots to go to the Dounan Flower Market, either in the morning or in the afternoon. We are an experiential evening market, and I personally think that the evening market is very lively.

Take a look at the flower market here, it's simply too lively, there are many merchants, and there are super many tourists. The point is that the flowers here are simply too cheap, and it is said that many flower shop owners in Yunnan buy from here. When we first came to the flower market, we just looked at the flowers, and the real time we went to buy flowers was before leaving Kunming, and we took the flowers on the plane, which was simply beautiful.

After arriving at the Dounan Flower Market, you must go to the main venue, there are simply too many flowers here. When we arrived, it was around 6 o'clock, and many flowers were on sale. For retail merchants like us, the price is indeed not much cheaper, but which wholesalers can buy huge cheap flowers.

After leaving the Dounan Flower Market, we went directly to Rixin Road. I passed by the "Shuangqiao Night Market" here, and I didn't know about the existence of this night market before I came. Since you are passing by, you must have a big meal inside.It turns out that fortunately, there are simply too many delicious delicacies here, and the prices are not expensive. For example, oysters, 15 are only 15 yuan, which is super cost-effective.

Because there are so many snacks, we don't buy too many of them, and the advantage is that we can eat several more snacks. Later, we took stock and found that the four of us ate a total of 18 kinds of food in the night market, and we were really big eaters.

On the

last day, we went to the Dounan Flower Market and picked many kinds of flowers that we liked. Holding flowers in hand, we got on the plane and ended our five-day trip to Kunming. After returning home, I sorted out the photos in Kunming, and the memories of those trips came to my mind again.
