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

When visiting Erhai Lake, be sure to protect yourself from the sun with a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, as there is a large temperature difference between morning and evening. There are many cultural and scenic attractions in the area, such as the ideal Santorini-like Lijiang, Jin Suo Island, Luoquan Peninsula, and the top of Luoquan Tower, which offers a 360-degree view of the Cangshan Mountains. Other attractions include the Rainbow Road leading to the sea in Wenbi Village, the Flower Drunk Art Space, Xiaoputuo, Wase, Shuanglang, Nanzhao Island, Yujidao, and many other popular photography spots, some of which are marked as consumption areas. The eastern side of Erhai Lake is a great place to capture the sunset over the Cangshan Mountains.

It's really not Santorini! This is the Dali Ideal State!! The whole network is on fire🔥 There's really no need to go to Santorini in Greece The Ideal State in Dali really doesn't differ much from abroad The view of Erhai Lake is truly beautiful 👗Wear light-colored clothes and go take photos together📷 - 🌈The Ideal State is very close to the airport, so if you arrive by plane, you can make this your first stop 1️⃣. Drive north along Erhai Lake, and it's easy to spot this group of buildings as you pass by. It's built on the mountain facing Erhai Lake, divided into upper and lower parts 🔸The lower part consists of earthy brown buildings, like a maze, winding around. The rotating staircases and tall walls are very design-oriented 🔸The upper part is the Dali version of Santorini that often appears in everyone's cameras - ✅No matter what, the Ideal State is really a great photo spot📷 Facing the beautiful scenery of Cangshan and Erhai Lake, plus the often good weather with blue skies and white clouds in Dali, this place truly lives up to the name 'Ideal State,' and is very desirable😇 The hotels and homestays in the Ideal State all have private courtyards with swimming pools The blue and white contrast is especially beautiful for photos...
