Departing from Kunming | Southeast Yunnan Self-Drive Tour for 7 Days and 6 Nights is so beautiful and refreshing
| Southeast Yunnan Self-Drive Tour for 7 Days and 6 Nights is so beautiful and refreshing.🙋 In March, we gathered from south of Kunming and chose the Southeast Yunnan mini loop for 7 days and 6 nights. Just go without looking back or rushing, averaging two to three hours of driving each day, and we had a great time~ Here is the detailed itinerary to share with everyone~✌️
The 1⃣️st stop Kunming➡️Luoping
A sea of canola flowers, a sight too beautiful to describe
Accommodation recommendation: Shizong county town (During the canola flower season, hotels in Luoping county are ridiculously expensive, so we chose a nice and affordable hotel in the neighboring county, which is a 40-minute drive from the Luoping Jindie Peaks scenic area, with fewer people and cheaper hotels, very comfortable)
The 2⃣️nd stop Luoping➡️Mile
Visit scenic spots and soak in hot springs ♨️Experience the charm of a small health and wellness town
Accommodation recommendation: Mile city area (Any hotel near the lake and springs is good, most of them have their own hot spring pools)
The 3⃣️rd stop Mile➡️Gejiu
Experience the atmosphere of the '70s and '80s Little Hong Kong, full of nostalgia
Accommodation recommendation: There are many hotels in Gejiu city area, try to choose a newly renovated economy chain type, both hardware and services are good~👍🏽
The 4⃣️th stop Gejiu➡️Yuanyang
Witness the sunrise and sunset over 170,000 acres of Hani terraced fields, so beautiful and stunning~
Accommodation recommendation: Homestays near the Duoyishu viewing platform (Very convenient to get up early the next day to see the sunrise)
The 5⃣️th stop Yuanyang➡️Jianshui
A cultural ancient city with a strong sense of life, delicious and fun to explore~
The narrow-gauge train has a lot of charm, but it's a bit pricey, not recommended for self-driving trips, the sunset at Shuanglong Bridge is really too beautiful, never tiresome to watch~
Accommodation recommendation: Chain hotels or newly renovated homestays within the ancient city🏨
The 6⃣️th stop Jianshui➡️Shiping➡️Fuxian Lake
Shiping ancient city - almost no tourists, local food is very delicious
Fuxian Lake - the sea in the hearts of Yunnan people, the sunset over the lake is very fairy-like and beautiful~
Accommodation recommendation: Fuxian Lake Xiaowan village homestay (This season there are fewer people, the homestay prices are reasonable and the service is enthusiastic)🏨
⚠️⚠️The canola flowers in Luoping are off the market, but in September there is the sunflower festival, and you can also take a detour to Puzhehei and Bamei, a very nice Southeast Yunnan self-drive tour loop~ Definitely worth taking a trip❗️❗️
Shiping Ancient City is not accessible by train. It takes about 50 minutes by car from Jianshui Bus Terminal to Shiping, and then walks about 15 minutes to reach the ancient city. The ancient city with a thousand-year history is antique in architecture, residential houses and streets, suitable for slow appreciation.
Shiping Ancient City is the old city block that S Honghezhou has retained better. Chinese historical and cultural district. In the history of more than 2,000 years, Shiping Ancient City has created a brilliant culture, Taishidi, Jinshidi, General Di, Observation Di, Zongren Mansion and private gardens are dazzling, and experts call Shiping Ancient City a museum of Ming and Qing residential buildings.
Shiping, who re-taught Xingwen, was the "document famous state" of the Ming and Qing generations, and had 65 scholars, 15 Hanlin, 1 economic special yuan, 1 Wu Jinshi, and 640 people. Among them, the economic special yuan is the economic science Zhuangyuan Yuan Jiagu, which is also the only one in Yunnan history. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shiping had 10 academies, hundreds of private schools and Yixue, and the temples that have been preserved to date have carried the expectations and aspirations of many readers.
Shiping is really a very low-key existence compared to its neighbor Jianshui. This is a well-preserved and oily ancient city; Shiping tofu is also delicious; the only pity is that there is no place to eat down the street; it is worth seeing.
I went to Shiping Ancient City on National Day in 23 years. It has a sense of history. I must have been brilliant that year. I recommend to play. There are many barbecues, especially the tofu is good. I can't eat it in other places, but the environment is poor. Yilong Lake is very large, choose cloudy weather is the best light rain to play, the scenery is more beautiful, sunny and hot, it is not recommended to go, homogenization, no entertainment projects.
Shiping Ancient City niche tourist spot, it is recommended
Very worth going. I am a native of Shiping, and later went out to work. Going home during the Spring Festival, the blue stone trail was still like 30 years ago, and the shop was almost unchanged. Every step was uniform and needed to be tasted slowly.
