Yunnan 6-Day Tour | Experience the Local Life in Yunnan

| Experience the Local Life in Yunnan. Hi, everyone! 👋 I just finished a wonderful 6-day tour of Yunnan and I must share this treasure of a guide with you! Along the way, I saw stunning natural scenery and experienced rich ethnic customs. Every place was intoxicating. Follow my footsteps and travel with me! 👇 🌆Day 1: Kunming - Dianchi Lake - Kunming Old Street Arrive in Kunming and head to Dianchi Lake 🏞. In winter, Dianchi Lake is a paradise for black-headed gulls. Flocks of black-headed gulls circle and frolic on the lake. They are not afraid of people at all. When you hold bread in your hand, they will fly over and fight for food. The scene is so interesting! Interact and take photos with these lovely little elves. Every photo is a blockbuster! 📷 In the evening, visit Kunming Old Street. The ancient street is full of life. The bluestone road and wooden buildings seem to tell the story of Kunming's past. The street is full of snacks, such as rice noodles, tofu rice noodles, and Guandu Baba. Every bite will let you feel the unique flavor of Kunming. Your taste buds will be instantly ignited! 😍 🌅Day 2: Kunming - Dali - Dali Ancient City Depart from Kunming in the morning and head to Dali. As soon as you arrive in Dali Ancient City, you will be attracted by its simplicity and tranquility. The Wuhua Tower stands tall and witnesses the changes of time. The Bai-style buildings in the ancient city are unique, with blue tiles and white walls, and exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings can be seen everywhere. Stroll through the streets of the ancient city. The small shops line the streets, including ethnic clothing stores, handicraft stores, and specialty food stores. Here, you can slow down, pick a favorite tie-dye dress, and try a Xizhou Baba to feel the leisure and comfort of Dali. 🎁 🌊Day 3: Dali - Erhai Lake - Cangshan Mountain Erhai Lake is the soul of Dali. 🌊 Rent a car and drive along Erhai Lake. The scenery is breathtaking. The sunrise at Longkan Wharf is like a gorgeous painting. The sun rises slowly from the lake, and the golden light shines on the water. The S-bend of Panxi is a great place to take photos. The S-shaped bend and the blue sky and white clouds make for an Instagram-worthy photo. In the afternoon, take the cable car to Cangshan Mountain. 🏔 The vegetation on Cangshan Mountain is lush, and the fresh air seems to cleanse the soul. Standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire city of Dali and Erhai Lake, the magnificent scenery is breathtaking. There are also clear streams and waterfalls in the mountains. Enjoy the scenery along the way and feel relaxed and happy. 🌃Day 4: Dali - Lijiang - Lijiang Ancient City Arrive in Lijiang Ancient City and feel like you have traveled back in time. The streets in the ancient city are built along the water, and the houses are scattered, full of Naxi style. The bustling Sifang Street is full of people, and various specialty products fill the stalls. Lijiang Ancient City is even more charming at night. Red lanterns are hung high, and melodious songs come from the bars. Find a quiet bar, order a drink, and enjoy the gentle night. 🌙 🏔Day 5: Lijiang - Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - Blue Moon Valley Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Naxi people. 🏔 From a distance, the peaks are undulating, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow. The snow shines silver in the sunlight. Take the cable car up the mountain. As the altitude increases, the scenery becomes more and more spectacular. When you reach the top of the mountain, you can overlook the surrounding mountains. The sense of accomplishment of conquering the mountain arises spontaneously. After descending the mountain, visit Blue Moon Valley. The lake here is a dreamy blue, clear to the bottom. The minerals at the bottom of the lake emit a charming light in the sunlight. The surrounding snow-capped mountains are reflected in the lake, forming a beautiful picture, as if you are in a fairyland. 🌄Day 6: Lijiang - Lashi Lake On the last day, visit Lashi Lake, a beautiful plateau lake. You can choose to take a kayak and cruise on the lake to feel the tranquility and gentleness of the lake. You can also ride a horse and walk along the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, you will feel like you have traveled back to the ancient trade route. The surrounding natural scenery is beautiful, with rolling mountains and lush trees, making you feel happy. Everyone, the 6-day tour of Yunnan is really wonderful! The beautiful scenery, delicious food, and cultural experience along the way are unforgettable. If you also yearn for a poetic and romantic trip, pack your bags and come to Yunnan! You will definitely have a lot of good memories. 💕

🇨🇳 China Yunnan 4 days Itinerary 🐾 Itinerary Overview Recommendations for food 🍄 Perfect score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yunnan Mushroom Hot Pot 🍲 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crossing-the-bridge noodles 🍜 ⭐️⭐️ Rose petal pastry 🌹 🗓️ Day 1 📍Kunming Old Street 昆明老街 🛍️ When we arrived in Kunming, it was already evening. We headed to the Kunming Old Street which was popular for cheap clothing and souvenirs. The streets were vibrant with Chinese traditional architecture with lights and filled with local vendors selling delicious snacks. We bought the Yunnan traditional rose petals pastry 🥮. It tastes sweet and chewy filling with rose petals inside. 🌹 🗓️ Day 2 📍 Laoyuhe Wetland Park 捞鱼河湿地公园🎣 We spent the whole afternoon and evening, a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle 🏞️. The most attractive part was riding a transparent boat 🛶 that glided through the lush, green jungle. 📍Lavender Field 滇池绿道薰衣草庄园 🪻 Near to the wetland, there was a stunning lavender field, where the vibrant purple flowers filled the surroundings with a calming fragrance under the sunset. We took countless pictures, and stayed till night to leave. 🤳 🗓️ Day 3 📍Dali 🚄 Around 2 hours train from Kunming 📍Dali Upon arrival, we visited Erhai Longkan Pier (大理龙龛) and were captivated by the picturesque views of Erhai Lake. The atmosphere was lively, with many photographers offering their services for professional photos. 🎥 Before committing, we requested a couple of test shots to find a photographer whose style matched our vision. It was a delightful experience, capturing the beauty of Dali and its surroundings. 🏞️ 🗓️ Day 4: Dali Photo Studio We booked a photo shooting session at a little farm 👨🌾 that had a variety of animals, including chickens, 🐓 sheep, 🐑 and friendly cats🐈🐈⬛ . Our photo shooting package included 1 hour for makeup 💄and clothing changes 👗, followed by a 2-hour photo session 📸. The studio offered a selection of clothing styles and themes, including western princess 👑 , mermaid 🧜♀️ , and traditional ethnic attire representing the Miaozu and Zangzu minorities ⭐️. After dressing up, my photographer drove us to the little farm. The adorable sheep were gentle who patiently posed and waited till you finished a photo. 📝 Reminder If you’re traveling to China, I suggest you to use the below apps: 1️⃣ 🗺️ Map: Gaode Map Gaode Map helps you find the fastest route to your destinations 2️⃣ 🚕 Taxi app: DiDi Global Always the best price for taxi / private car ride, remember keep track on your routes after getting on the car! 3️⃣ 🏖️ Attractions: RedNote (Xiaohongshu) If you’re confused about where to go next, check the RedNote! 4️⃣ 💵 Payment Method: Alipay Suggest you to use Alipay to prevent extra interest on credit cards 💳
