🗺️ travel program.

DAY 1: Don City - Kunming - Lijiang

After leaving the airport, walk on the subway line 6 (on the airport floor, there is an arrow line), go down the line (Tangzixiang Station), then turn to line 2, go down to Kunming railway station, exit A, and follow the public, and then you will find the gate (if you book Air Asia at Kunming 11.25 am and want to go to the train around 14.51 pm. Personally, if the machine is not good, then do not worry, but if you do not want to rush, book the next round). We reserve around 4.42 pm to Lijiang 9.36 pm. The hotel that booked if staying for 3 nights or more has one free shuttle-bus, so let him pick it up.

DAY 2: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Excursion

We bought a one-day tour from Mr. Chi (FB: Jayi JI), a group of up to 6 people, about five hundred yuan (total tour fee, big basket, park bus ticket, sweater, 1 can of oxygen, 1 bottle of drinking water, lunch, shuttle to and from the hotel, blue moon valley, accident insurance, Lijiang Impression), pick up around 6.30am. and return around five o'clock.

DAY 3: A round trip to Shangri-La

Starting from calling a taxi from the residence to the high-speed railway station, taking a ride around 08.32 a.m. to Shangri-La 09.45, calling a Mao taxi 30 yuan (at the time, did not dare to use didi) to Songzhi Lin Temple to the temple around 10: 30 a.m. (Buy a ticket to the temple and take the bus at Office ticket, 75 yuan each. Sit down to the front door of the pond and walk up to the temple. Tired but very beautiful. Walk back down to the same place where the bus got off. Take the bus back to the ticket spot and call didi to the ancient city of Tu Kezong, North Gate (Shangri-La Dukezong Ancient City - North Gate). Walk in and out. You will find the food court, have lunch, and then climb up the Temple to turn the "Golden Magic Wheel" (can open the apple map, walk straight away). The trip is done, call didi back to the final high-speed train 18.45. p.m. to Lijiang 8.06p.m., call didi back to the residence.

DAY 4: Lijiang Old City Excursion - Return to Kunming

Today, relax. Get up a little late. Pack your bags, check out. Leave your bag at the hotel and go out to take a picture of the old city and the monument of Chairman Mao. Then and sit at the cafe, can't remember the name. It's the view of the old city roof, then come back and take your bag and call didi to the train station. Take a car around 4: 07 pm to Kunming train station 7: 43 pm. Come out of the station, call didi to stay (because if you take the subway, have to scan your bag), pack your accommodation and then call didi to walk Shuangqiao night market.

DAY 5: 1-day Kunming trip

In the morning, call didi to Yuantong Temple (pin at Yuantong Temple - Main Gate), walk to the back of the temple, which houses a Thai church built in a mixed Chinese-Thai style. Inside this church is the "Buddha Shinraj," a replica of the Buddha from Thailand. Then come out and call didi to the Jindian gold house (pin at Jindian Park). It is now free of charge. The inside is like a small botanical garden. We stroll until we reach the door on the East Gate (but the pins in didi are called Kunming Botanical Garden - North Gate). Then call Didi returned to the city, walked Nanping Street (pinned at Nanping Food City). It was raining, so we went to sit and dodge the rain, sipping the tea at Kunming Bookstore. Kunming Shuncheng is a five-story bookstore. The top floor has a cafe and a reading area.

DAY 6: Go home.

Get up early, pack your bags, check out the hotel. Bye-by-Kunming, call didi to the airport. The price includes the expressway fee of 68 yuan. I think it's okay. Don't drag your luggage through the scanner. Sit through the city view before you go home. On your return trip to Thailand, take Air Asia 12.30pm to Don Muang 1.50pm. Finish your trip with entertainment.

🏨:

Lijiang 3-night stay: Hotel named Rizhao Jinshan · Heart-flying View Naxi Beauty Stay We booked a non-smoking room. The building is not new, clean enough, but fully equipped.

Advantage: If you stay 3 nights or more, there is a shuttle-drop-off service. Free 1 trip to the good service staff. Lift the bag. Good overall.

Disadvantages: It's on a hill in the old city limits, although a little off the big road, but the way to it has stairs and a hill that's rough cement. We use a 25-inch bag, a little bit of a leg up, a little bit of a leg down.

Kunming 2 nights stay: The hotel is called Ibis Hotel (Kunming Beijing Road). There is a separate review to read at (https://s.lemon8-app.com/s/GpYZsRMFrQR). The room is good, the price is good, everything is good.

Other recommendations:

1. Chinese people smoke a lot. Smoking everywhere. Car, bathroom, hotel, subway also smells of cigarettes. The smell of cigarettes is normal.

2. The bathroom is good. Some are very good.

3. When entering a subway or a high-speed train, they scan every bag, check it dark, seriously.

4. At Shangri-La Railway Station, they also see the Power Bank capacity. Do not exceed 20,000 mAh.

5. Train tickets can be booked through the trip. You can see the locomotives and seats in the AFL. When entering the gate, you don't have to print a ticket, you can use Plasport in line with the scanner.
