Are there any friends planning to visit Yunnan this summer? The travel guide is ready for you all

Summing it up, the cost for food and accommodation isn't very expensive, excluding airfare, a budget of 💰1.5K+ per person is feasible~ . ⚠ Some precautions you might not have seen before 1⃣ Yunnan has strong ultraviolet rays, so even on cloudy days, you need to protect yourself from the sun. 2⃣ Never go to local specialty stores recommended by local drivers, they are expensive and not tasty. 3⃣ Don't trust the drivers or ladies who try to solicit customers on the road. 4⃣ Don't stay inside the ancient town of Lijiang, as it has stone roads that are not accessible by car, and it's too tiring to drag your luggage in if you stay too deep inside. 5⃣ Don't opt for a one-day tour to Lugu Lake, it's too rushed, you can plan two days instead. 6⃣ You will also encounter some people offering portrait photography services locally, the quality varies, and some take a long time to edit photos, making it hard to discern. 7⃣ Remember to bring a jacket, as the temperature difference between morning and evening is big, especially after it rains, don't catch a cold. . 📝Six-day itinerary in Yunnan Day❶: Departure→Kunming→Free time Day❷: Kunming→Stone Forest Scenic Area Day❸: Erhai→Dali Flower Sea→Dali Ancient Town Day❹: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain→Blue Moon Valley→Lijiang Shuhe Ancient Town Day❺: Yushui Village→Ancient Tea Horse Road→Return to Kunming Day❻: Kunming→Journey back home ⚠‼PS: The distances between scenic spots in Yunnan are quite far, and the transportation back and forth is not very convenient. It might be a bit troublesome for friends who visit Yunnan for the first time~ You can also join a local tour group, which is very convenient and worry-free as it takes care of accommodation, transportation, and tickets! ‼A local pure play group similar to the above six-day route costs only about 1400 per person, which is a very cost-effective group that I know of! . 🌈Recommended attractions 1⃣ Stone Forest Scenic Area (Ticket 130) A karst landform scenic area, a 5A tourist attraction, where you can rent an electric cart and stroll around~ 2⃣ Erhai (Free) A must-visit attraction in Dali, the scenery of Erhai is really beautiful! You can tour the west or east line of the lake, and be sure to protect yourself from the sun. 3⃣ Dali Flower Sea (Ticket 40) A popular photography spot, mainly because the photos look great, with flowers everywhere and many small props suitable for taking pictures. 4⃣ Dali Ancient Town (Free) A place for a slow artistic life, it's nice to stroll around the ancient town at night, find a quiet bar to sit and listen to music, very relaxing. 5⃣ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (Entrance fee 100) A must-visit attraction in Lijiang, the stunning snow mountain is truly a gift from nature~ But don't get too excited or run around on the mountain, as it's easy to get altitude sickness. 6⃣ Blue Moon Valley Located within the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain scenic area, it's a beautiful sight with a natural filter, great for taking photos. 7⃣ Lijiang Ancient Town (Free) The city of encounters, it's really lively at night, you can go for a walk in Lijiang at night and feel the atmosphere of the ancient town. . ✨Tips 🔹Be prepared with an umbrella, sunscreen, and insect repellent. 🔹Those who get motion sickness should bring their own medication, as some attractions are far away and it takes a long time to travel by car. 🙋‍♀For more Yunnan travel information & days & routes & pandemic prevention
