Summer in Yunnan ☀️ 有一种叫云南的生活 🌬

The city of Kunming is bright and bustling, Dian Chi lake is one of the must-sees! You'll see many locals going about their morning exercise there. Seagulls also make a stop here during their yearly migration! 阳光普照的昆明市活力、澎湃。先到滇池享受那里的风景。许多当地人都在那锻炼。如果能赶上海鸥的季节那就更好了! Visit Erhai lake in Dali to be blown away by the views. You can also rent a bicycle and ride along the lake. Rest at one of the many coffee shops there to sip a cuppa and soak in the scenery. 在大理一定要到洱海。那里可以骑单车,拍美照!在咖啡厅歇一歇脚也不错。喜欢天龙八部的,记得要到崇圣寺哦! Xizhou is a quaint little old town with many interesting shops. Would have wanted to spend more time there! Managed to try tie-dye for the first time too. 喜州有好多有趣的小店铺。有机会的话,花多一点时间走走看看。札染体验也是不错的! The old market street at Shaxi ancient town is said to be the only surviving market on the ancient tea horse caravan route. There are still many shops there and it's definitely worth a visit. 茶马古道上唯一幸存的古集市就在沙溪。虽然是古集市,但感觉还是活力十足。太阳撒在古镇屋檐上时,美得无法形容。 No amount of pictures can do justice to what you will see at Tiger Leaping Gorge and Yulong Snow Mountain. You need to be there in person! 虎跳峡和玉龙雪山就不多说了。拍出来的照片根本不能反映出峡谷水流雪山冰川的壮观。一定要亲身体验。 Black Dragon Pool in Lijiang was a pleasant surprise. It is located in the city but so pretty. Took a nice morning stroll beside ancient architecture built during the Qing dynasty. No regrets going there at all. There's a small entrance fee of 10RMB (works like a weekly entry pass) that goes towards maintenance of the park it's in. Worth it if you ask me! 丽江的黑龙潭有着许多清朝时期的古建筑。黑龙潭也是丽江的水源。空气清晰,景色漂亮。早晨到那散散步很是惬意。进去要付10元 (能用7天) - 划算! #summervacay #yunnanguide #summerinyunnan #kunming #dali #xizhouancienttown #tiedye #tigerleapinggorge #lijiang #shuheancienttown #yulongsnowmountain #blackdragonpoollijiang #云南 #暑假 #昆明 #大理 #喜州 #札染 #虎跳峡 #丽江 #束河古镇 #玉龙雪山 #玉龍雪山 #黑龙潭丽江 #有一种叫云南的生活

🇨🇳 China Yunnan 4 days Itinerary 🐾 Itinerary Overview Recommendations for food 🍄 Perfect score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yunnan Mushroom Hot Pot 🍲 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crossing-the-bridge noodles 🍜 ⭐️⭐️ Rose petal pastry 🌹 🗓️ Day 1 📍Kunming Old Street 昆明老街 🛍️ When we arrived in Kunming, it was already evening. We headed to the Kunming Old Street which was popular for cheap clothing and souvenirs. The streets were vibrant with Chinese traditional architecture with lights and filled with local vendors selling delicious snacks. We bought the Yunnan traditional rose petals pastry 🥮. It tastes sweet and chewy filling with rose petals inside. 🌹 🗓️ Day 2 📍 Laoyuhe Wetland Park 捞鱼河湿地公园🎣 We spent the whole afternoon and evening, a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle 🏞️. The most attractive part was riding a transparent boat 🛶 that glided through the lush, green jungle. 📍Lavender Field 滇池绿道薰衣草庄园 🪻 Near to the wetland, there was a stunning lavender field, where the vibrant purple flowers filled the surroundings with a calming fragrance under the sunset. We took countless pictures, and stayed till night to leave. 🤳 🗓️ Day 3 📍Dali 🚄 Around 2 hours train from Kunming 📍Dali Upon arrival, we visited Erhai Longkan Pier (大理龙龛) and were captivated by the picturesque views of Erhai Lake. The atmosphere was lively, with many photographers offering their services for professional photos. 🎥 Before committing, we requested a couple of test shots to find a photographer whose style matched our vision. It was a delightful experience, capturing the beauty of Dali and its surroundings. 🏞️ 🗓️ Day 4: Dali Photo Studio We booked a photo shooting session at a little farm 👨🌾 that had a variety of animals, including chickens, 🐓 sheep, 🐑 and friendly cats🐈🐈⬛ . Our photo shooting package included 1 hour for makeup 💄and clothing changes 👗, followed by a 2-hour photo session 📸. The studio offered a selection of clothing styles and themes, including western princess 👑 , mermaid 🧜♀️ , and traditional ethnic attire representing the Miaozu and Zangzu minorities ⭐️. After dressing up, my photographer drove us to the little farm. The adorable sheep were gentle who patiently posed and waited till you finished a photo. 📝 Reminder If you’re traveling to China, I suggest you to use the below apps: 1️⃣ 🗺️ Map: Gaode Map Gaode Map helps you find the fastest route to your destinations 2️⃣ 🚕 Taxi app: DiDi Global Always the best price for taxi / private car ride, remember keep track on your routes after getting on the car! 3️⃣ 🏖️ Attractions: RedNote (Xiaohongshu) If you’re confused about where to go next, check the RedNote! 4️⃣ 💵 Payment Method: Alipay Suggest you to use Alipay to prevent extra interest on credit cards 💳
