Yunnan Travel Guide: A Road Trip Northward

Finally arrived at a place with wind~✈️ After landing in Kunming, I headed straight for the Haigeng Dam. Unfortunately, the seagulls seemed to have had their fill in the afternoon, but that didn't stop me from capturing a beautiful sunset photo🌇. Next, I started my official road trip, taking the high-speed train from Kunming to Dali Station, and then picking up a car nearby. The first stop was Fengyang Yip, where I checked in at the windy courtyard🏡. This is a courtyard on the ancient Tea Horse Road and a major filming location for TV dramas. Remember to make a reservation in advance! For homestays in Cai Village, I recommend choosing the sea view homestay in Baizi's residence in Cai Village. The ecological corridor of Erhai Lake is right in front of the homestay, where you can ride a small electric motorcycle or bicycle freely, and you can also watch the sunrise on the rooftop of the homestay🌅. Strolling leisurely along the Hai Xi Ecological Corridor, Erhai Lake is full of beautiful scenery everywhere, experiencing ethnic portraits, and enjoying the leisurely time of blowing the wind by Erhai Lake. Go to Xizhou Ancient Town, about twenty kilometers away from Cai Village. I still recommend driving by yourself. The wheat field in Xizhou is the main check-in place. Remember to buy a balloon🎈 to add atmosphere! On the way from Cai Village to Xizhou, you will pass the Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas. Arriving in Lijiang, go to Yuhu Village, which is the first village under the snow mountain, very quiet, and you can watch the starry sky at night⭐. You can directly see the snow mountain from the rooftop of the homestay🏔️. Then, I went to the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area and checked in at Yunshanping and Blue Moon Valley. Under the sun, Blue Moon Valley is particularly stunning, while Yunshanping gives people a sense of returning to the beautiful scenery of Tibet. Finally, go to Lugu Lake, which is said to be the prototype of the Daughter Country, the matriarchal clan settlement of the Mosuo people, and also the highest altitude lake in the mainland. Along the way, you will pass the Jin'an Jinsha River Bridge. Don't forget to admire the model of the infrastructure madman! Playing cable cars and island tours in Lugu Lake are highly recommended, especially when the weather is good. Lugu Lake is a national first-class drinking water source, and the lake water is clear and sweet, which is worth tasting. The entire Yunnan trip is full of beautiful scenery and surprises, looking forward to feeling the charm of this land again in the off-season. Traveling heals our souls and fills our lives with color and hope!🌿🌞🌺
