I worked in Yunnan for a period of time, for the colorful south of the clouds is also full of expectations. Go to Yunnan to play in June to start, Yunnan is the rainy season, Yunnan's rainy season most of the time in the afternoon. Generally the morning sunny skies, the afternoon ten will definitely come to a shower. However, showers come and go quickly. The impact on traveling is not great. In Yunnan, railroad transportation is not particularly developed, mainly relying on cars. But the car fare is much higher than the train. On the other hand, Yunnan is in the plateau, high mountains and high traffic flow on the highway, so if you come to Yunnan for the first time, it is recommended to take Kunming - Dali - Lijiang line. On the one hand, it concentrates the main tourist attractions and spots in Yunnan. On the other hand, the railroad from Kunming to Dali has been opened to traffic, which greatly improves the transportation. And it is comfortable, safe and convenient.

Supplementary: as far as shopping is concerned, you can buy local objects with minority characteristics in Yunnan or Kunming, I bought a handbag in Yunnan, costing 6 yuan. I bought a handbag in Yunnan for $6. It was bargained for. And the quality is good, the color is also very bright, with a distinctive Yunnan atmosphere. Very good. Also, if you choose to travel with a group, you must go shopping under the arrangement of your tour guide. Personally, I don't like this kind of shopping with forced shopping. I think, go out to play, the important thing is to change the mood, I do not like to be led by the guide out of this store, into that store. Friendly tips: shopping can be purchased in the city's supermarkets, do not buy in the scenic area. I went to the Yueyang Tower scenic spot in Yueyang, Hunan Province in 2005, the same "Junshan silver needle" tea, the price in the scenic area than in the supermarket price is much higher.

D1 trip: downtown Kunming Spending: Kunming Expo Park tickets 100 yuan

Dali Xiaguan Ancient City is the former capital of the Dali State. Main Attractions: Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Sea (Admission: 30RMB) Butterfly Spring (5RMB) Dali Ancient City Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple (30RMB).

The Cangshan Mountains and Erhai in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is a place desired by travelers from ancient and modern times. Yang Shengan, a famous literati of the Ming Dynasty, depicted it as "the mountains are verdant and verdant, and the sea is half-moon blue", and "when I look at Dancang, I don't feel refreshed".

The Cangshan Mountain, also known as Dancang Mountain, *** has nineteen peaks, the highest peak is more than 4,000 meters above sea level.

Cangshan Mountain scenery has always been known for snow, clouds, spring. Cangshan snow by the summer, is the prestigious Dali "wind, flowers, snow and moon" the most of the four scenes. In the wind and sunshine in March, the top of Cangshan Mountain appears to be crystalline and serene, worthy of a crystal world of ice and jade.

Dot Cangshan clouds change colorful, sometimes as light as green smoke, sometimes as thick as ink. In the summer and fall, from time to time, there is a jade belt like white clouds across the beam in the verdant mountainside, long as a hundred miles, even the day does not disappear, charming and attractive.

On the top of Cangshan Mountain, there are a number of alpine moraine lakes, lakes surrounded by virgin forests that cover the sky. There are also 18 streams, lagging between the 19 peaks, moisturizing the foothills dam land, but also embellished the scenery of Cangshan. Cangshan is also a world of flowers. There are not only dozens of species of rhododendron, but also the rare Common Gromwell and the hydrangea-like horseweed, among others.

The Erhai Sea is a windy and beautiful plateau lake in a narrow shape, 40 kilometers long from north to south, with an area of about 240 square kilometers. When you are boating on Erhai on a calm day, the clean and transparent sea is like the blue sky, giving you a peaceful and distant feeling.

At the southernmost tip of the Erhai Sea, Tuan Shan, there is an Erhai Park, which is a good place to enjoy the view of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Sea.

Butterfly Spring

At the foot of Cangshan Mountain and on the shore of the Erhai Sea, there is another famous tourist attraction, the Butterfly Spring.

The fame of Butterfly Spring is related to Xu Xiake's description in his travelogue. He wrote: "the spring on the tree, when the beginning of April that is the flower like nymphalid butterflies, whiskers and wings vividly, and raw butterflies are no different. There are also millions of real butterflies, even the beard hook foot, from the tree upside down hanging down and in the spring surface, colorful and colorful, colorful and colorful." Indeed, there are times when the number of colorful butterflies that come to gather here is too many to count, and their colors are as brilliant as the sunshine and brocade.

In previous years, the number of butterflies decreased, according to the relevant parties, the main reason is that the local climate has turned dry, resulting in the migration of butterflies, and the second is the large number of rural use of insecticidal drugs, accidentally injuring many butterfly larvae. However, in the last two to three years, with the gradual restoration of the ecological balance, coupled with people's conscious measures to protect butterflies, the annual gathering of butterflies has been increasing day by day.

The ancient city is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, more than 2,400 meters above sea level, the whole city covers an area of 3.8 square kilometers, since ancient times is known as the market and the "Tea Horse Road" on the town.

Lijiang ancient city is China's historical and cultural cities in the only ancient city without walls. It is said that, because the ancient hereditary ruler of Lijiang surnamed wood, if you build walls, as if the word wood plus frame into the word "sleepy", inauspicious. The ancient city combines the essence of Naxi, white, Tibetan and Chinese nationalities in the art of architecture. Explore its past, people found that this had been forgotten "ancient Naxi Kingdom", since ancient times there have been human beings living and reproducing. Today's master of the Naxi people, is the ancient descendants of the Qiang people moved south. In the long years of thousands of years, they worked hard and built their own beautiful homes. At present, the city preserved a large area of Ming and Qing Dynasty residential houses, all of which are adobe structures with tile roofs, mostly three houses and one wall. Residents of the flexible layout of the building, focusing on decoration, carving, planting flowers and trees in the courtyard, set up bonsai.

Here is located in Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet, the main traffic, frequent business activities in ancient times, prompting the local people to flourish, and soon became known as the market and the town.

From then on, until the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, nearly five hundred years, the Lijiang area are under the jurisdiction of the central dynasty of the Naxi ancestors of the Mu Clan and the Mu Clan Tusi (established in 1382) hereditary rule. During this time, the Ming Dynasty geographer Xu Xiake (1587--1641), who traveled throughout Yunnan, described Lijiang City in his "Dian Tour Diary" as "a cluster of houses, houses lined up", with more than 1,000 residents in the ancient city at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that the town had been constructed on a fairly large scale.

The Wooden House in the ancient city was originally the Lijiang hereditary Tusi Wood's Yamen, was built in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368 AD), was rebuilt in 1998 into the Ancient City Museum.
