    "The night market is the same across the country, with various snacks and souvenirs. The special thing here is the Dai costumes to take pictures. Many young ladies like to take pictures, and my little brother likes to watch. . . It is also next to the Lancang River, so the night view is beautiful, and it is quite pleasant to drink a little wine with the river breeze."

    "Dali Ancient City, no tickets are required, I came in during the day, it was quite big, there were several areas inside, we couldn't find them. Because I am a team, I gave 2 hours. I think if you want to play well, it is best to come in the afternoon and play together at night. To play well. I ate beef skewers for 10 yuan and flower cakes for 10 yuan for four. No packaging. After the trip came out, I bought a box of flower cakes, which was delicious in the ancient city."
    Dali.Dali Ancient City
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: Located at the foot of the beautiful Cangshan Mountain, Dali Ancient City is the capital of ancient Nanzhao and Dali countries. With a slow pace lifestyle, a relatively warm climate and beautiful natural surroundings, it is a very conducive place for living. Combing the ancient city for artsy shops and hipster cafes is a very therapeutic and thrilling experience. The third and fourth month of the lunar calendar is filled with a lot of local festivals. The famous San Yue Jie or "Third Month Street", is the biggest festival of the year for local Bai people. Merchants come from far and wide to set up street markets and sell their interesting array of goods. There's also horse racing, archery and other competitions throughout the day. Join in the fun if you happen to be there!

    "Impression Lijiang, the performance is very exciting, all ethnic minorities, some actors are very invested, very touched, we sat for a while, the neck actually sunburned, the actors wearing so thick and jumping, not easy. The performance team is large, a small 100 people's performance. Very shocking and beautiful. Recommended. Be sun-protected."
    Lijiang.Inside Dayan Ancient Town
    >100km from downtown
    Highlights: The Lijiang Ancient City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has a history of over 800 years. It was an important stopover point in ancient times playing a very important role in the trading activities among Yunnan, China hinterland, Tibet, India and many other neighbouring Asian countries. The town is full of ancient wooden buildings, stone roads, and small bridges. It is the only old city built without a city wall. Standing in the city, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Several television series were also shot here. The former mansion of the Tusi people (Mu Mansion) and the Naxi ancient music performances should definitely be on your checklist.

    "May 1st with the baby to play and do not want to go too far, so I chose the colorful Yunnan Happy World. I booked a two-day and one-night package. The baby happened to be 1.2 meters, so I directly booked a three-person package. I thought that I would encounter countless pits when I came out to play. This really refreshed my understanding of Yunnan tourism. The dishes in the scenic area are not necessarily expensive and unpalatable. It turns out that the service staff can be so hospitable. I will talk about the process carefully below and hope to help friends who come for the first time. We are afraid of traffic jams on the road. We will leave at 6 o'clock in the morning on May 1st. We will drive here at about 8:50. The traffic is medium. We will go to the front desk of the hotel first. There is just a room. We will open the room directly. The hotel is apartment-style, two rooms and one living room, more spacious. After putting things in, take the free bus at the entrance of the hotel to Happy World. I met two enthusiastic Kunming children who introduced us to the play route. There are tour guides on both sides of the gate. You can see the introduction and play what you want to play. My baby does not like to play exciting. So most of them are playing some not too crowded projects, the staff inside are particularly enthusiastic, everyone can ask if they don't understand. We chose the knife duck for the package included. The three people couldn't finish it at all. They didn't have any hope. The result was not bad. A few big shows must be seen. It is really worth it."

Tang (AD 676-679), Tuyu here set up a Zhaibao on the top of the big turtle mountain, named "Dukezong", a Tibetan pronunciation contains two meanings, one is "castle built on stone", and the other is "moonlight city". For the horse gangs who cross the ancient tea horse road, Dukezong Ancient City is a heavy town on the ancient tea horse road, and the first stop after the horse gang entered Tibet. The most worth seeing in the ancient city is the Big Buddha Temple and the prayer wheel. The Big Buddha Temple on Guishan Mountain was built during the Qing Kangxi period.
