Yunnan I or Wind and Freedom are better

If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, why not come to Yunnan~ The sunrise of Erhai Lake, the ancient alleys of Lijiang, the prayer flags of Shangri-La... Every frame is like a painting, and every second is exciting❤️Kunming - [One] Travel: Guandu Ancient Town - Dounan Flower Market Arrived in Kunming, headed to Guandu Ancient Town, where the bluestone road is winding, and the ancient temples and pagodas stand quietly, witnessing the passage of time. When you are tired of shopping, find a small shop and taste the crispy Guandu Baba. When night falls, head to Dounan Flower Market, which is a sea of ​​flowers with gorgeous roses and fragrant lilies. Buy a bouquet and let the fragrance accompany you to sleep. We stayed at a hotel in downtown Kunming that night to recharge our batteries. 📍Day2: Kunming - Fuxian Lake - Cherry Blossom Valley Depart in the morning and head to Fuxian Lake, where the water is as clear as a mirror and sparkling. Rent a bicycle, ride along the lake, and feel the breeze on your face. At noon, try the copper pot fish and potato stewed rice. The tender fish meat and soft and glutinous potatoes are unforgettable. In the afternoon, go to the Cherry Blossom Valley, where the pink cherry blossoms are like clouds and rosy clouds. Take a stroll among them and encounter the romantic spring scenery. In the evening, check into a lakeside B&B and enjoy the lake and moonlight. 📍Day3: Fuxian Lake - Jianshui Ancient City After breakfast, take a boat tour of Fuxian Lake and watch the morning sun shining on the lake and the waves sparkling. Afterwards, we headed to Jianshui Ancient City. Stepping into the ancient city, it felt like traveling through time and space. The ancient Zhu Family Garden, with its carved beams and painted rafters, fully displayed the beauty of southern Yunnan architecture. Stroll through the streets of the ancient city and taste the grilled tofu, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Dip it in the special dipping sauce and take a bite, and you will be filled with the flavor of everyday life. Stay at Jianshui Ancient City Inn at night and feel the tranquility of the ancient city. 📍Day4: Jianshui Ancient City - Yuanyang Terraces Get up early and head to Jianshui Train, with retro carriages and pastoral scenery along the way. Arriving at Tuanshan folk houses, we saw green tiles, white walls, and exquisite wood and stone carvings. In the afternoon, we went to Yuanyang Rice Terraces. As the sun set, the afterglow cast on the terraces, and the layers of water were sparkling and colorful. Stay at the Terrace Inn at night and fall asleep to the fragrance of rice. 📍Day5: Yuanyang Rice Terraces - Kunming In the morning, watch the sunrise over the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, the sea of ​​clouds rolling, the rice terraces looming in the morning light, beautiful like a fairyland. After breakfast, return to Kunming. You can take a break at the service area and buy some special snacks on the way. Return to Kunming with full of good memories. [Two]🎈Travel tips: 🚗Transportation: You can choose to rent a car and drive yourself, which is free and flexible; you can also take the high-speed rail or bus, which is economical and convenient. 👗Clothing: There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in March, so bring a thick coat and wear light clothes during the day. 📸Photography: Prepare your camera and power bank. There are so many beautiful sights, don’t let your battery run out. During these five days and four nights in Yunnan, you can stay away from the hustle and bustle, slow down your pace, and feel the fusion of nature and humanity. Every scenery will become the most beautiful fragment in your memory. Come to Yunnan, go on a spring date, and encounter the romance that belongs only to you. [RoundNails] Note: The weather in Yunnan is gradually warming up in March, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so you need to bring a thick coat. The ultraviolet rays in Dali and Lijiang are strong, so you must take sun protection measures, such as applying sunscreen, wearing a hat, sunglasses, etc. Yulong Snow Mountain is at a high altitude, so you may experience altitude sickness. You can prepare anti-altitude sickness drugs in advance and avoid strenuous exercise when going up the mountain. Book accommodation, transportation and attraction tickets in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.

Winter in Yunnan's Spring City Awaits You

Dr. Eloy Satterfield
Dali Ancient City

✨ Wandering Through Dali, Yunnan ☁️ ✨ Yunnan has always been on my travel wish list, and this time I finally made it to Dali — a dreamlike town surrounded by mountains and the sparkling Erhai Lake 🌊⛰️. Every corner here feels like it’s been kissed by the wind and painted by sunlight 🎨☀️. 🚙💨 Our first stop was the Jeep Flower Field 🌸🌼 — a sea of colorful blooms stretching endlessly, with classic Jeeps parked for that perfect “wanderlust” photo moment 📸✨. Standing among the flowers, I could feel the peace and freedom that only nature can give . Next, we visited the Santorini-style spot 💙🏛️ — pure white buildings with blue domes overlooking Erhai Lake. For a second, I almost forgot I was in China and felt like I was in Greece 🇬🇷💭. The breeze from the lake carried the scent of sunshine and freedom. Then came the Lovers’ Bridge 🌉💞 — a romantic spot said to bring good luck in love. Even the air here feels softer and sweeter 🕊️💕. Maybe wishes really do travel across the bridge to the sky ✨. Of course, no trip to Dali is complete without exploring the Ancient Town 🏮⛩️ — cobblestone streets, vintage teahouses, and local crafts everywhere. I sipped rose tea 🌹🍵, listened to street musicians 🎶, and watched time slow down. And finally, standing by Erhai Lake at sunset 🌅, watching the colors melt into the horizon, I felt completely at peace. The reflection of the mountains, the sound of waves, and the cool breeze reminded me — sometimes, happiness is just being here, now 💫💖. 🌈✨ Dali, you’ve captured my heart — I’ll be back again someday 💌 #Dali #Yunnan #TravelDiaries #ErhaiLake #Wanderlust #SlowLife #TravelMoments 🌸🌊💙
