#ShareTravelBudget How much does a group of 6 people in Kunming cost? Since we had limited time, only 3 days, the travel plan was not very tight. We focused on relaxing and not tiring, sleeping in, walking, and drinking coffee. This is our plan. (Actually, the plan was very tight, but we woke up late and left at 1:00 PM, so we didn't make it in time 🥳) December 24-27, 24 Day 0: Arrive in Kunming at 1:00 AM, return to the room, eat street food Day 1: Wenlin Street > Kunming Old Pedestrian Street Day 2: 1 Day Tour Jiaozi Snow Mountain (buy a tour with Trip.com) Day 3: Guandu Ancient Town > Bangkok A quick explanation of the trip Day 1: Visit Wenlin Street, take pictures with the ginkgo trees, stop by a cafe along the way, take pictures, and walk around looking for food. The last stop is the Kunming Old Market. Before going back to the room, buy dinner at Street food as usual. Day 2: Buy a tour with Trip.com as a 1-day trip. Wake up early because I have to be on time for the meeting place at 6:30. It is a tour that opens up the world of China's mountains. The weather is cold. Hope to see snow, but only a little. Going up and down the mountain takes the whole day. The tour ends at 6 pm and returns to the city at 9 pm. Today is very tiring. End the day by using Street food as usual. (You can read more on our homepage. The name of the Moment is Jiaozi snow mountain.) Day 3: Guandu Village. Travel to see culture through the buildings. There are many restaurants at the walking street market. Stop for coffee, take pictures, and then prepare to fly back to Bangkok. (You can read more on our homepage.

The accommodation is called Jiyu Orchid Pavilion · Meisu, booked with Trip. If you want to book here, I recommend you go only in winter because it is not air-conditioned. But the owner of the room is kind and lovely, very helpful. 🍔 You will see that we eat dinner at the street food near the room every day. It's not because we come back late and this street opens up at 11 pm and closes at 6 am. All the food is delicious!! So we can eat here every day. #TravelChina #TravelKunming #Kunming #KunmingTrip

Jiaozi Snow Mountain Travel Guide Jiaozi Snow Mountain is located in Luquan County, Kunming City, with an altitude of 4,223 meters. It is loved by tourists for its unique natural landscape and rich vegetation. Here are some practical travel tips to help you plan your trip better. 🚉Transportation Guide: Jiaozi Snow Mountain is about 160 kilometers away from Kunming. It is recommended to drive or take a shuttle bus. It takes about 2-3 hours to drive, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. If you choose public transportation, you can take a shuttle bus at Tuodong Sports Center in Kunming, and the round-trip ticket price is about CNY 100. 🗓Itinerary: It is recommended to arrange a two-day tour to better enjoy the beautiful scenery of the scenic area. You can depart from Kunming on the first day, check into a hotel after arriving at Zhuanlong Town, and go to Jiaozi Snow Mountain Scenic Area in the morning of the second day. You need to take a shuttle bus to Xiapingzi in the scenic area, and then choose to take a cable car or hike up the mountain. 🧳Preparation: 1. ID card, student ID, senior citizen card (for ticket discounts). 2. Warm clothing: Due to the high altitude and low temperature, it is recommended to wear windproof and warm clothing, and prepare masks, gloves, etc. 3. Food and water: There are limited dining facilities in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring your own snacks and drinking water. 4. Hiking shoes: Choose non-slip shoes suitable for sports to ensure safety. 📝Tips: • Altitude sickness: Due to the high altitude, some tourists may experience mild altitude sickness. It is recommended to bring a portable oxygen bottle just in case. ⏳Play Time: The whole climbing process is expected to take 4 hours. Be sure to set off in advance to ensure that you return before sunset. ❄️Weather Changes: The weather on the mountain is changeable. Please check the weather forecast before traveling and prepare for the cold. 🌟Main Attractions: The main attractions of Jiaozi Snow Mountain include the 10,000-acre rhododendron sea, alpine lakes, and ice waterfalls. Rhododendrons bloom in spring, and summer and autumn are the best seasons to enjoy streams and snow. With the above guide, I hope you can enjoy an unforgettable trip to Jiaozi Snow Mountain!

Take a bus from Kunming North Bus Station to Zhuanlong for CNY 38. The bus takes 3 hours and doesn't enter the scenic area. After getting off the bus, you can take a black cab to the scenic area for CNY 30 per person. Remember to get the driver's phone number and arrange a return time. The return trip to Kunming costs about CNY 90 per person and takes about 1.5 hours to the city center. Tickets We recommend buying the CNY 299 package, which includes admission, a shuttle bus, and two cable cars. We bought the CNY 225 package in advance, which includes admission, a shuttle bus, and one cable car. However, the small package requires you to climb the mountain, and if you climb slowly, you may miss the last bus at 5:30 pm. Climbing the mountain is also very tiring. Equipment Wear quick-drying clothes as a base layer. The temperature difference on Jiaozi Snow Mountain is huge, and you'll sweat if you wear too much. Quick-drying clothes are great for wicking away sweat. Wear a sweater or fleece jacket in the middle and a down jacket on the outside. Wear non-slip hiking boots, or add shoe spikes to regular shoes. The mountain walkways are covered in snow and are very slippery. Don't wear regular sneakers, as they get wet and aren't non-slip. Bring gloves, a hat, a scarf, wool socks, sunglasses, and a thermos to make your trip more comfortable. Food You don't need to bring much food. If you get hungry, there are many aunties selling fried potatoes and rice noodles halfway up the mountain. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. Don't bring instant noodles or self-heating pots, as they're a hassle and take up space. Attractions First cable car Take retro American-style photos with a full sense of fashion. Halfway road After the first cable car, take the shuttle bus to the halfway road, which is perfect for taking road trip photos. Snowfield After the second cable car, take photos in the snowfield. The snow-covered trees are great for emotional photos. Walkway The walkway up the mountain is perfect for photos. Any pose looks great. Viewing platform The wind and blue sky are perfect for back and full-body photos, as if you're one with the sky and snow mountain. Xiaotianchi Take photos of tourists leaning on the railing to capture the beauty of Xiaotianchi. Xiaotianchi walkway Some people climb over the railing to take photos in the snowfield, creating a romantic atmosphere like in "Love Letter." Summit sign Take a commemorative photo here to prove you've conquered Jiaozi Snow Mountain. Notes Be safe, especially in snowy areas. Follow the scenic area's instructions. If you climb over the railing for photos, return quickly and don't stay in dangerous places for long. Plan your time wisely if you bought the small package to avoid missing the return bus.

| Dongchuan Xueling.🏡City: Kunming 📍Location: Xueling Huofeng ✨Features: It has one of the few long broken stone slopes of despair, and hiking is very challenging. 🐾Heavy-duty hiking guide: 🚗: Navigate to Kunming Xueling Outdoor Inn, go up from the new charcoal room, climb Xueling Huofeng from the hollow bamboo ditch, Xueling altitude 4344m, climb more than a thousand meters, there is a very long slope of despair before the summit, many broken stones, high verticality, easy to slip in rainy days, difficult to walk. · The first time I walked such a long despairing broken stone slope that I couldn't see the end, I climbed like a snail🐌. When I was stationed at an altitude of 3600m at night, I unexpectedly had altitude sickness, fever and hypoglycemia symptoms, but fortunately I prepared antipyretics and glucose; so the altitude is high, the temperature difference is large, and you must pay attention to the rhythm of climbing and body warming during hiking. Safety is the most important. · Camp⛺: 🔸Camp 1 seasonal water source; 🔸Camp 2 has a particularly good view, there are many places to stay, and there is a small stream, the water source is clean, and it takes about four hours to descend the next day; 🔸Camp 3 is a few hundred meters down from Camp 2, there is a large open space by the pond, and the water source is not so clean (multiple water flows converge). · ✨Notes: When you start hiking in high-altitude areas and sweat, as the altitude rises and the sun prepares to go down, the temperature gradually decreases and the wind becomes stronger. You must wear quick-drying clothes inside, add clothes in time, and gloves must be windproof and warm. Otherwise, it's easy to catch a cold; also bring basic spare medicines, especially glucose and cold medicine. · Track route two bl: Xiao Yang classmate Artwin

Around Kunming: Colorado Grand Canyon·Breathtaking Sunset After the Rain|||The Pudu River Grand Canyon after rain is absolutely stunning!! The 1,600-meter vertical drop chasm is shrouded in mist, like a scene from an epic fantasy drama🌫️! The river, carrying silt, flows quietly through the canyon. Wild azaleas sway in the breeze, moss glows emerald green after soaking up the rain, and no phone camera can capture its awe-inspiring beauty😭! "It's not that Switzerland isn't worth it, but Yunnan's Snow Mountain Village offers better value for money‼️" "After the rain, the Pudu River is God's love letter to Yunnan💌." "Here, sunset isn't an ending, but a romantic handover between mountains, rivers, stars, and the moon🌙."

📍Trip Overview When my friends and I wanted to see snow, we bought a tour with Trip.com because we wanted to travel conveniently. The price was good. After buying, we looked for information and were ready. We traveled in December on 26.12.24. The snow was not completely white yet. I recommend coming in February. For the journey, we had to take a bus out of the city for almost 3 hours (150 kilometers). We reached the first station at around 10 a.m. When we arrived, we had to take the cable car to the first station and then take another bus. When we arrived at this station, there was a shop selling food, such as sausages and instant noodles. If you are hungry, you can eat first, but you have to make time. I recommend eating since morning to be full because after this, we will take the cable car again and have to walk up!!! Yes, we had to walk up almost 4 kilometers. We reached the point of about 4,000 meters and had to stop and buy a ticket to go down because there was not enough oxygen in the can, no drinking water, and it was very cold and windy up there. The cold started to bite our faces (the scarf was wool and could not protect us from the wind). There was quite a bit of snow that we wanted to see because it did not snow during that time. It is scattered at high altitudes, but the weather is very cold. The walk up is very tiring. You have to prepare yourself well. Walk slowly because the thin air makes you tired easily. The walk up took almost half a day, but in any case, you got the picture you wanted. In the end, it was tiring but satisfying. For altitude sickness, my friend and I took Chinese herbs 10 days before the trip, so we had no symptoms. We traveled with peace of mind. It was the best.❤️ 🚩Travel route: Buy a tour from Trip.com 🚇How to get there: Take a bus from Kunming for 3 hours. 📷Photo spots: The cable car entrance and the viewpoint 💡Precautions: Since it is a mountain climb of more than 3,000 meters, be careful of altitude sickness. You should bring chocolate bars, oxygen cans (buy them at drug stores in the city/at the entrance to the mountain), water to sip, glasses, and a windbreaker. #Jiaozi Snow Mountain #Travel China #Kunming #Get a discount without relying on luck

Today, I would like to tell you about my visit to Jiaozi Snow Mountain in China in December for those who are interested. At first, when Christmas came, we wanted to fly to celebrate Christmas nearby. It would take a short flight, the ticket price was not expensive, and it was not far from Thailand. So, the lottery came out in "Kunming". While searching for tourist attractions, I came across "Jiaozi Snow Mountain" 🏔️ It was not far by car, no need to cross the city to Lijiang to see the snow. After getting the information, we searched for a tour from Trip.com. It was a one-day tour for 1,200+ Thai baht, which is considered a very good price. What does the tour include? 🚌 Round-trip bus fare from Kunming, boarding at Nanyao Gate 1 and Bus up and down the mountain 💳 Entrance fee 🚡 Round-trip cable car fare from Xinshan Pass + cable car to and back at Xiapingzi 🍔 Meals are not included, but can be found on the mountain Since the tour is entirely in Chinese And in contacting the meeting point to inform (usually 1 day before the trip), we didn't have a Chinese SIM card that could make calls, receive calls or send SMS, so we contacted Trip.com to help coordinate communication, which was very nice. The staff coordinated until we got the Wechat of the Chinese Agency, so they could contact us via Wechat. Okay, I survived and finally got to travel as I wished. If anyone is interested in the tour, don't hesitate because it's very easy. #TravelChina #triptour #Jiaozi Snow Mountain #Kunming #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

I. Trip Highlights 1. Breathtaking Natural Wonders - Flying Sky Waterfall: A hundred-meter waterfall cascades down steep cliffs, creating rainbows across the gorge in sunlight—perfect for capturing magnificent panoramic shots. - Three Buddha Mountain Peaks: Three giant peaks rise like pillars into the clouds, with colorful rock layers (blue, brown, purple, red) resembling a natural oil painting. - Piaoshui Rock Waterfall: During autumn and winter, the clear river water creates a waterfall like hanging silver ribbons. You can descend to the riverbed via an abandoned quarry road for a "zero-distance" waterfall experience. - Pothole Landscape Stone Valley: The pothole landscape in the lower reaches of Jiaoyu River in Huidong County resembles "earth art," with formations like "Beauty Combing Her Hair" and "Giant Elephant Drinking Water"—ideal for photography enthusiasts. 2. Light Hiking Combined with Adventure - The hiking route mainly follows riverbeds and canyons, covering about 8 kilometers, requiring navigation through winding mountain paths and water crossings—suitable for intermediate adventurers. - You can challenge yourself with rock climbing and rappelling activities (professional equipment required), or explore the waterfall source along abandoned roads. --- II. Suggested Itinerary Day 1: Depart from Kunming → Jinyin'ao Grand Canyon → Piaoshui Rock Waterfall → Overnight at Lisu Ping - Transportation: - Self-driving: Kunming city → Jiaopingdu Town in Luquan (about 2.5 hours), navigate to "Jinyin'ao Water Station" (parking lot can accommodate multiple vehicles). - Carpool group: Meet at Kunming North Railway Station, cost approximately 159 yuan/person (including transportation and insurance), suitable for those without cars. - Hiking Route: - Morning: Descend along the canyon trail from the water station, crossing riverbeds and dense forests, focusing on photographing the Flying Sky Waterfall (wide-angle lens recommended). - Afternoon: Walk along the abandoned quarry road to the bottom of Piaoshui Rock Waterfall to feel the impact of the waterfall (wear non-slip shoes for safety). - Accommodation: - Lisu Ping Village: An authentic Yi ethnic village, recommended villager-operated homestays (about 150 yuan/night), experience fire pit barbecue and wild mushroom soup. - Luquan County: For more comfort, return to the county town for accommodation (such as "Yi Family Joy" inn, 80 yuan per person). Day 2: Lisu Ping → Huidong Stone Valley → Return to Kunming - Stone Valley Exploration: - Hike or drive to the lower reaches of Jiaoyu River in Huidong to photograph the pothole landscape (recommended to arrive before 9:00 AM for best lighting). - Focus on capturing "Shagou Waterfall Group" and "Biaoshui Cliff Waterfall," avoiding strong midday light. - Return Journey: Huidong → Kunming (about 6 hours driving), or choose to enjoy Yi ethnic cuisine in Huidong County before returning. --- III. Guide to Avoiding Travel Pitfalls 1. Transportation Tips: - Avoid going alone! Some sections of the canyon require wading through water and climbing. It's recommended to go with companions or professional outdoor teams (such as "Mountain Meatball" activities). - Be cautious about self-driving during rainy season (June-August) due to high risk of landslides; non-SUVs should avoid village roads. 2.

Lisu Ping village homestays offer better value—contact in advance to confirm hot water supply. - Choose chain hotels (like Hanting) in Luquan County for better hygiene. 3.

Must-Visit Photo Spots and Tips 1.

Three Buddha Mountain Sunrise: - Check sunrise time in advance, climb to the canyon's highest point, and use a telephoto lens to capture the mountain silhouettes. 3. Pothole Stone Formations: - "Beauty Combing Her Hair" stone pool in Huidong's Jiaoyu River—shoot with side lighting to capture texture details; "Giant Elephant Drinking Water" stone is suitable for panoramic composition. 4. Piaoshui Rock Riverbed: - The crystal-clear pool beneath the waterfall is perfect for capturing reflections of people—bring waterproof phone protection (waterproof bag recommended). --- V. Important Notes 1. Safety First: - Wear non-slip shoes and knee pads for hiking, bring trekking poles; avoid deep water areas during rainy season. - Forest fire prevention period (December-May): no fire sources allowed, don't litter cigarette butts. 2. Equipment Checklist: - Essential: Windbreaker, quick-dry clothes, trekking poles, knee pads, 2L drinking water, trail snacks (energy bars, nuts). - Optional: Headlamp (in case of darkness), first aid kit, mosquito repellent (many insects in the canyon). 3.
