Two People's Eight-Day Seven-Night Yunnan Tour | Travel Guide

🍁Kunming 🛵"Cuihu Park" Recommend going before 9 AM. The seagulls are more active in the morning. At this time, Cuihu Park has both spring and autumn scenery coexisting! It's so beautiful! 🛵"Haigeng Park—Haihong Wetland Park" Recommended for afternoon visits! Perfect spots for photographing bald cypress trees and seagulls! The two places are some distance apart, so you can rent bicycles/electric vehicles to get to the other side. The sunset turns the bald cypress trees in Haihong Wetland a beautiful red color, making it incredibly photogenic whether you're boating or feeding seagulls! 🛵"Kunming Old Street" Worth visiting if you're staying nearby. It's quite large and a well-developed commercial old street, though prices are slightly high. 🛵Guandu Ancient Town Has many old buildings. If it's on your route, worth stopping by for a visit. It's also quite a commercialized ancient town. - 🍁Lijiang 🛵"Lijiang Ancient Town" A lively ancient town with artistic shops, nostalgic folk singers, cobblestone paths and snow-capped mountains. In the evening, there's a bonfire party at Sifang Street in the ancient town where you can dance around the fire! 🛵"Shuhe Ancient Town" Has relatively fewer tourists and staying here is super relaxing! Less commercialized, and the whole ancient town isn't very big, perfect for wandering around. (Costume rental/photo shoot prices are relatively lower, and there are fewer people—I love it! But I discovered this after already having my photos taken in Baisha.) 🛵"Baisha Ancient Town" Has a strong local atmosphere. As soon as you get off the vehicle, you'll see a street that resembles a market. This ancient town isn't big and can be explored quickly. If you're not specifically going there for a photo shoot, half a day is enough. 🛵Sunrise on Golden Mountain-Jade Dragon Snow Mountain-Blue Moon Valley Booked a tour through a mini program, 428 yuan/person, including oxygen bottles and warm clothing. 🏔️The advantage is that they handle transportation and guarantee access to the large cable car. 🏔️The downside is the time constraints. The time for watching the sunrise on Golden Mountain is quite short. My boyfriend was planning to propose there, but just as he was about to take out the ring, we were called to leave haha 🤣🤣. Also, it took us longer to climb to 4680m, and then we had to queue for 1 hour to come down, almost missing our return bus. - 🍁Dali 🛵"Dali Ancient Town" Very commercialized. The ancient town is large, but once inside, it feels like there aren't many specialty dishes. We tried stone-grilled meat, which was just average. 🛵"Longkan Wharf" You can rent small electric vehicles to get there. It's not far from Dali Ancient Town and looks beautiful in the evening! Many people sing by the shore of Erhai Lake, making it perfect for taking a stroll, listening to music, and feeding seagulls. 🛵"Xizhou Ancient Town-Couple's Tree" When I went, they had just harvested the wheat, but it was still very photogenic. Sitting in a coffee shop next to the wheat field was quite relaxing. In Xizhou Ancient Town, you can ride a bike to the Couple's Tree, but parking costs money, even for small electric vehicles. 🛵"Fengyang Yi" A very quiet little village that feels so comfortable to walk through! I originally wanted to visit "You Feng Courtyard" and "Xie Zhi Yao's Home," but the courtyard prices were a bit high, so I ended up just taking some photos nearby and then exploring other places.
