Travel account in Yunnan

Original link: https://www.ixiqin.com/2023/07/02/yunnan-tour-laundry-list/

The trip to Yunnan was very enjoyable, from 6.17 to 6.25, a total of 9 days in total. I played four different places in Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, and Lugu Lake. I stayed in almost every place for about 2 days. There are still many things worth visiting. and something memorable. However, because there are too many, it can only be recorded in the form of a journal. In the running account, we focus on some general issues, and write a separate article for each place for a more detailed description of each place.

However, in order for you to understand my itinerary ( copy homework ), I have prepared a map on Google Map so that you can understand where I have been. If you are interested, you can click on this link to see every place I went, and the corresponding evaluation.

Overview of the 9-day trip

to feel

1. Yunnan has a pleasant climate

The climate in Yunnan is what I experienced the most profoundly this time. When I was traveling in Yunnan, it happened that Tianjin was at the time of high temperature. In comparison, the highest temperature in Yunnan was only 30 degrees, which was simply too cool.

However, although the highest temperature is less than 30 degrees, it is still relatively hot at noon, but it does not feel “roasted” like in the north. And the humidity in Yunnan is not high, and there is no “steaming” feeling in Guangdong.

In terms of climate, I think Yunnan is better than Hainan, Guangdong (too steamed) and North China Plain (too roasted). So livable.

However, the fly in the ointment is that the intensity of ultraviolet rays in Yunnan is too strong. I spent 9 days in Yunnan, and basically sprayed Anesan every day. After the whole journey, my forearm/face was still darkened. When I go to Yunnan again, I think I may choose to wear sunscreen clothing directly, physical sunscreen is the most reliable.

2. The scenery of Yunnan is picturesque

For me, the scenery of Yunnan can be compared to the scenery of Tibet during my business trip in Tibet in 2019.

The blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and water like Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake are very comfortable. Here are a few pictures for everyone to feel (the following pictures are all from the original camera, without filters, but the shooting equipment is iPhone 13 and Pixel 6):

With such beautiful scenery, my biggest feeling is that I regret that I should have brought my camera here! For the convenience of this trip, I only brought a Polaroid and a mobile phone, so I couldn’t take pictures of the beautiful scenery I saw. Next time, I will bring my 6400, wide-angle lens, and telephoto lens to take pictures of these beautiful scenery!

3. The food in Yunnan is very special

This time I went to Yunnan, and the rainy season was delayed, so I couldn’t eat the local wild mushrooms (I really want to try Jianshouqing, which is said to be the top delicacy in Yunnan). But still got some good/special food.

For example: I ate fried scorpions in the ancient town of Xizhou? .

For example, the baba in Yunnan feels like a variety of pies.

I also ate the must-eat flower cakes in Yunnan. The freshly baked ones are really delicious.

Dai style hand-picked rice is also indispensable

The trip to Yunnan this time gave me a very deep feeling. Let me briefly summarize three points. More details will come later.

For sure, Yunnan, I will go again.
