🇨🇳 China Yunnan 4

🇨🇳 China Yunnan 4 days Itinerary 🐾 Itinerary Overview Recommendations for food 🍄 Perfect score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yunnan Mushroom Hot Pot 🍲 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crossing-the-bridge noodles 🍜 ⭐️⭐️ Rose petal pastry 🌹 🗓️ Day 1 📍Kunming Old Street 昆明老街 🛍️ When we arrived in Kunming, it was already evening. We headed to the Kunming Old Street which was popular for cheap clothing and souvenirs. The streets were vibrant with Chinese traditional architecture with lights and filled with local vendors selling delicious snacks. We bought the Yunnan traditional rose petals pastry 🥮. It tastes sweet and chewy filling with rose petals inside. 🌹 🗓️ Day 2 📍 Laoyuhe Wetland Park 捞鱼河湿地公园🎣 We spent the whole afternoon and evening, a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle 🏞️. The most attractive part was riding a transparent boat 🛶 that glided through the lush, green jungle. 📍Lavender Field 滇池绿道薰衣草庄园 🪻 Near to the wetland, there was a stunning lavender field, where the vibrant purple flowers filled the surroundings with a calming fragrance under the sunset. We took countless pictures, and stayed till night to leave. 🤳 🗓️ Day 3 📍Dali 🚄 Around 2 hours train from Kunming 📍Dali Upon arrival, we visited Erhai Longkan Pier (大理龙龛) and were captivated by the picturesque views of Erhai Lake. The atmosphere was lively, with many photographers offering their services for professional photos. 🎥 Before committing, we requested a couple of test shots to find a photographer whose style matched our vision. It was a delightful experience, capturing the beauty of Dali and its surroundings. 🏞️ 🗓️ Day 4: Dali Photo Studio We booked a photo shooting session at a little farm 👨🌾 that had a variety of animals, including chickens, 🐓 sheep, 🐑 and friendly cats🐈🐈⬛ . Our photo shooting package included 1 hour for makeup 💄and clothing changes 👗, followed by a 2-hour photo session 📸. The studio offered a selection of clothing styles and themes, including western princess 👑 , mermaid 🧜♀️ , and traditional ethnic attire representing the Miaozu and Zangzu minorities ⭐️. After dressing up, my photographer drove us to the little farm. The adorable sheep were gentle who patiently posed and waited till you finished a photo. 📝 Reminder If you’re traveling to China, I suggest you to use the below apps: 1️⃣ 🗺️ Map: Gaode Map Gaode Map helps you find the fastest route to your destinations 2️⃣ 🚕 Taxi app: DiDi Global Always the best price for taxi / private car ride, remember keep track on your routes after getting on the car! 3️⃣ 🏖️ Attractions: RedNote (Xiaohongshu) If you’re confused about where to go next, check the RedNote! 4️⃣ 💵 Payment Method: Alipay Suggest you to use Alipay to prevent extra interest on credit cards 💳
