Must-see attractions food guide in Yunnan Yunnan has always been a dream destination for many travelers, whether it’s natural landscape, ethnic culture or authentic cuisine, it has a unique appeal. This time, I deeply felt the beautiful mountains and rivers and human touch of Yunnan. I specially recommend the following tour routes and must-eat delicacies! Route Arrangement: First stop: Kunming Cuihu Park Cuihu Park is a beautiful sight in the city center. The lake is clear and the trees are shaded next to it. It is super comfortable to walk along the lake in the morning. There are also large areas of cherry blossoms and azaleas from late March to April, which are very photogenic. There are many teahouses and snack stalls by the lake, where you can chill and enjoy a cup of Pu'er. Second stop: Dali Ancient City The ancient city of Dali retains the antique architecture of the Bai ethnic group, and its streets and alleys are very flavorful. It is recommended to walk from the south gate to the foreigner street. There is also a night market on Friday and Saturday nights. Special snacks such as Xizhou dumplings and roasted milk fans must be tried. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around the seaside of Erling. There are many photo spots along the way to take pictures of the lake view and the distant mountains. Stop 3: Lijiang Ancient Town The ancient city of Lijiang is a World Cultural Heritage Site. The stone roads, wooden buildings and small bridges and flowing water in the ancient city are great for taking pictures.
