🚌 Transportation guide · tested with blood and tears:
✅ High-speed train fans: Kunming South → Mile Station (30 minutes, 34 yuan), then taxi/bus to play freely!
✅ Self-driving fans: 2 hours from Kunming, but attractions are scattered, renting a car (200 yuan/day) is more enjoyable!
❌ Avoid: don’t rely on electric scooters the whole time, distances between scenic spots are far, running out of power is heartbreaking…
📌 Tips · anti-pit life-saving guide:
1️⃣ Sunscreen! The plateau UV can peel your skin, wear a hat + sun-protective shirt!
2️⃣ Don’t soak in hot springs too long! 15 minutes per session, don’t soak on an empty stomach or after drinking = self-torture!
3️⃣ Don’t drink too much at the winery, a tipsy experience is better~
4️⃣ Remember to bargain when renting electric scooters at Taiping Lake, 10 yuan/hour is negotiable!
🍜 6 must-eat delicacies · sensory bomb:
1️⃣ Braised chicken rice noodles: broth so fresh you lick your fingers, chicken so fragrant your soul leaves your body!
2️⃣ Mutton soup pot: winter warming magic, tender mutton with mint dipping sauce, one bite and you’re hooked!
3️⃣ Grilled tofu: crispy outside, tender inside, 10 pieces for 10 yuan at night market stalls, so fragrant you can’t walk!
4️⃣ Red wine steak: winery-supplied red wine marinated meat, biting into juicy meat mixed with wine aroma, romantic bomb!
5️⃣ Ice floating rice noodles: cold rice noodles + crushed peanuts, summer cooling magic!
6️⃣ Grape ice cream: Dongfeng Yun exclusive, purple dream, a must-order for photos!
