Our two-week trip to Yunnan, from 6:00 Kunming began.
On the first day (12.23)
6:00 arrived at Kunming Railway Station. Got off, or the dark one, the entire city has not yet awakened from the slumber. This is our first visit to Yunnan, in addition to a number of online introduction to this strange place we do not have a little knowledge. As planned, we are ready to take the first group of cars directly to the Dali.
Station Square, there is sent to the corner of Dali shuttle, the earliest group of about 7 o'clock. But the car is Iveco, condition looks very poor, crowded waiting rooms are narrow, to the marble had to take nearly five hours, we still want to import bus ride is not only secure, more important is that comfortable, so you can focus Province used in the next play. Fortunately, not far from a railway station that is, long-distance bus terminal, the earliest flight to Dali's car in the morning at eight, car is a Volvo, the fare 103.50 yuan. We do not hesitate to buy tickets. It should be noted that, outside the station owners will give you a lot of individuals recruited to Dali, which they claim to start sooner, but we later found out, when we start the car, their car not to go.
8-minute car ride, a benefit can be used leisurely breakfast. Turn left out of the door not far from there is a terminal called "propaganda, and milk," a 24-hour fast-food restaurants. Taste things in general, but it is clean, warm. Very few customers at this time, it can sit rest, look at the back of travel routes. Soya bean milk shop diagonally across the street, relying on direction of a passenger terminal called broad air ticket less than a 7:00 opened the door. Where we booked a return trip ticket, you can hit 6.5 fold. This is a good service, then we have booked flights canceled for any reason, they specifically call notification. And the ticket together, there is a broad with the travel agency, we inquire about a bit of Stone Forest day-trippers. Back to Kunming from Lijiang, we have that the travel agents took part in this tour.
From Kunming to Dali is probably close to 300 kilometers down the road. It is an expressway from Kunming to Chuxiong, Chuxiong to Dali is a national highway. Road, are good, there is no big mountains, so not very arduous journey. Scenery along the road to have a general, but there is one point made a deep impression: Yunnan special bright sunlight. We start the sun had just risen, and only the windows are so high, sharp across the sun from the left window into the room lit with all the car sounds like a transparent. With the sun rise, the color of the window features are changing every second.
End is the next car off, that is, Metro is located in Dali, and we have always said is the ancient city of Dali, and the Shimonoseki also 13 kilometers distance. Shimonoseki is a modern town, there is no special features at a glance hastily. We get off the next afternoon at the station bought two tickets to Lijiang Volvo fare 55.50 yuan. Go to Lijiang, the car a lot, if the sitting Iveco, as long as 32 money. We are specifically identified in the ancient city on the train ticket, so that would not have returned to Shimonoseki on the car. Shimonoseki Shimonoseki Terminal doorstep to the bus station, take the 4-way car, to spend 1.20 yuan, and 30 minutes to the Dali, Erhai Lake can be seen along the road.
Although this time is not a tourist season, but still a lot of visitors inside the ancient city of Dali. Is the end of December, Dali, and there is no winter Hsiao evil, flowers and trees thrive. We are across the city, found on the Internet recommended洋人街洋人街Inn. 洋人街is the most crowded city street, crowded full of bars, inns and shops, a large number of English signs make people feel that exposure to Yangshuo West Street, but a much smaller scale than the West. At that time we have not yet visited Lijiang, Lijiang of bars and inns should know better than this gone. 洋人街Inn is located in the eastern section of Daoshi洋人街very quiet, totally not the western section of the hustle and bustle. Because it is low season, inns little guests, a large yard planted with flowers and plants unknown. Two tables under the trees playing mahjong haughty disregard of others, half a day no one reason the two of us coming all the way admiring guests. About 45 yuan a night, with hot water and clean beds, so that the price also do. In other Inn, 40 or even 30 can also be found accommodation, but do not know under what conditions. Overall, this season is not expensive to live in Dali, I heard that as long as 60 during the peak season can also be found very good inn. After all, unlike Dali, Lijiang, there are so many people willing to Daizhe not go.
The afternoon we have time enough to play Cangshan or Erhai Lake in the one place. We have chosen to go Cangshan. Cangshan can climb on their own, but hear that 2-3 hours; more people are sitting ropeway up the mountain. The ropeway, went to realize that a large and small cableway cableway divided. General locals recommend great rope better, we decided to grow in power and ropeway. The most surprising is the city where the streets are selling tickets rope, inns sell, restaurants sell, even the tea shop and sold, but also not non-stop front of people come to sell you, but the price of each place is different. Large one-way price cableway 45, from 80, generally on the street selling price is 60 per round trip. We casually asked one tied with our half-day little girl, her asking price 55 yuan, and later talked about 45 yuan a person round trip, but also to the foot of the ancient city of packages we fare. Really can not understand here, so will the price be so chaotic.
Santana, send us a driver to Hill, bought tickets (the price is only God knows) on the left. The ropeway Cangshan is a joint venture company, the equipment is very new. Sit cable car, the distance of the Erhai Lake and near the Cangshan glorified. Days, almost no cloud, the other side of a scarlet Erhai Lake, at the foot of Cangshan is varying shades of green and yellow. However, the overall Cangshan attractions also just that the. The mountain is worth noting that almost no spots, but the distance between attractions too far to see that 11 is neither possible nor necessary. Personally, if you have the time, it may take ropeway yo-yo this mountain, but it is best not to report too much hope. If you do not have much time does not travel, but also there has been no loss.
Down the mountain is 5:30, but the weather remained clear, the pinnacle of Cangshan was too brilliant sun shine. Down can take a taxi, carriage, and three motorcycles. Prices are similar, probably around 10-15 dollars. We are to spend 10 money directly to the Three Pagodas reflection park. This is also described in one place online. The famous Three Pagodas Three Pagodas of Dali at the park, but the fare to 52 yuan a person, obviously jae Team "being taken advantage of" place, and its reflection of park next to the Three Pagodas of money as long as four tickets, but can also be three Tower seen clearly, was even more peculiar is that the park has a Wang Seitan, including three towers reflected upside. When we went almost to the closing time, the park has been no one. Is not that big park in an increasingly quiet. Three Pagodas white stood silently in the distance, its reflection at the level of the lake as a mirror surface absolutely still. The air is the afterglow of sunset and Ruoyouruowu of smoke, and only in the lonely open Several Strains of Camellia.
Dinner is eaten in Dali ancient city. Dali Bai's habitat is, their diet also has a distinctive local characteristics. Snacks are also particularly numerous, as the locals eat fermented milk Milk Cake is done as a snack. We tasted one, and not particularly accustomed to eat. Or go to dinner bar! In the cultural park in an alley diagonally opposite, there are several restaurants adjacent written for a local flavor. We have chosen the middle called "Hong Yuan" in one. Called a few local dishes, a meal down, before more than 30 pieces of money, really good. Lunch the next day, we are also going there to eat.
