🚶‍♀️‍➡️: Kunming: Donghua Market, Cuihu Park, Zhibushi Bookstore Dali: Yunxiang Mountain, Erhai Lake cycling, Xiaonong Zaowu Coffee Lijiang: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - Sunrise on the Golden Mountain - 4680m - Spruce Meadow - Blue Moon Valley Lijiang Old Town - Heilongtan Park - Shuhe Ancient Town 🛏️Accommodation: Kunming - All Season Hotel on Tangzi Alley - street-facing, quite noisy from traffic Dali - Hanting on March Street - street-facing, also some traffic noise Lijiang - Atour Hotel near the Old Town Waterwheel - music with singing at night Transportation is quite convenient, but all have noise issues, I really have no solution. Atour’s sheets and duvet covers are yellowed… air conditioning is not warm. 🍽️Food & Snacks: Didn’t eat much delicious food, the roadside chicken rice noodles in Kunming were good. The avocado yogurt at Elephant Tea Shop was tasty, Xiaonong Zaowu Coffee was good. Didn’t find good food in Dali and Lijiang, the rice noodles were average, stir-fried water lily flowers were tasty. The Happy Zhu’s rare bean powder pancake roll in Lijiang Old Town was not good, salty. Lijiang Old Town is average, not very interesting, Shuhe Ancient Town is also average, commercialized and homogenized. Only went to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang, didn’t plan well. Actually, could have stayed an extra day in Kunming to explore and eat well 🥲 🏔️Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Guide: 5:50 Took a taxi from Old Town entrance to Zhongyi Market bus stop 6:00 Bought breakfast and took bus 101 6:11 Bus departed, arrived at Visitor Center at 7:00 Get off and walk in the opposite direction to Swiss Style Garden to watch the sunrise, can use the restroom Very cold before dawn, need warm patches on knees 7:40-7:55 Sunrise on the Golden Mountain 8:30 Queue for the main cable car and take the bus Around 9:30 Arrive at 4506m 10:00 Climbed to 4680m, used one oxygen canister, ate a crispy shark snack 10:35 Started queuing for the downhill cable car 11:05 Arrived at Spruce Meadow cable car station 11:30-12:30 Walk around Spruce Meadow Walk down cable car to Blue Moon Valley at 13:00 13:00-14:00 Blue Moon Valley 14:05 Took sightseeing bus back to Visitor Center Took bus 101 back to hotel Perfectly recreated trip experience
