Yunnan is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery. Xishuangbanna in the south has a subtropical climate, with only hot summers and no severe cold, comparable to Sanya, Hainan. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the north is located at 30 degrees north latitude and has snow that has not melted for thousands of years. It is more beautiful than Mount Fuji in Japan. Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, volcanoes, ancient cities, stone forests, tropical rainforests, and many other miraculous creations of nature will amaze you and make you linger. At the same time, Yunnan is adjacent to Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and the small border towns in Yunnan each have their own exotic charm. The folk customs of more than 20 ethnic minorities will make you feel that the world is vast and full of wonders. There are well-known Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna, as well as Mangshi, Tengchong, Yubeng, Bingzhongluo, Nujiang, Bala Zongge and many other very special and niche places. The place. Every place has different customs and customs that are so attractive.

Colorful Yunnan is really apt, because its beauty is colorful, just like the rainbow in the sky. Her original beauty is difficult to describe completely with pen, ink or language. Caiyunzhinan, you will never regret going to . It is a place that makes people want to see it again and again and never get tired of it. It is a place that you don’t want to leave after visiting it.
I like Yunnan very much, so when many people ask me where is the most worth visiting, I recommend Yunnan. It was almost two and a half months since I last visited Yunnan, and I felt like I still hadn’t had enough.
Many people think that because I run around outside every day, I must be very rich, so I often see people commenting, "I'm really rich." They all think that those who stay in hotels every day while away from home will definitely spend a lot of money. So let’s take a look at how much I spent in the two and a half months in Yunnan? Where did the money go?
I entered Yunnan from Lugu Lake in Sichuan on November 1st, which happened to be the first day of the month, so it was easy to settle accounts. The following is my consumption list for November. The accommodation in the bill is the cost of staying in a hotel every day, the food is the cost of eating and drinking, the gas cost is of course the cost of refueling the car, the tickets are the fees for going to various scenic spots, and the highway fees include not only the highway fees, but also some Bridge tolls, local highway tolls, etc. It covers many other things, such as vehicle repair and maintenance fees, parking fees, phone bills, buying souvenirs, buying daily necessities, and buying things you need and like.

This month I spent 7 days living and playing around Lugu Lake. I felt that Lugu Lake is really beautiful and worth visiting carefully. I ate the fish in the lake and also had the wild mushroom hot pot chicken that I still miss. It contained truffles , not matsutake. It was so fragrant that I am still drooling just thinking about it. Then I went to Lijiang. I feel that every time I come to Lijiang Old Town the commercial atmosphere will be stronger than the last time. I may not come here again in the future. I thought there were too many people and it was too noisy, so I went to Dali. In Dali, I stayed and walked in circles along the Erhai Lake. I went to Nuodeng Village again to see how Nuodeng Ham was made. I stayed in Tengchong for ten days before leaving reluctantly.

I usually try not to exceed 80 yuan when booking a hotel, so the average of 75 yuan this month is not bad, and the average daily food consumption of 77 yuan is a bit high. I plan to average around 50 yuan per day, but After I came out, I found that no one could reach 60 in a month. Haha, I can eat it. When I go to a place, I usually want to try the local specialties. Isn’t it just shopping and eating when I go out? It’s not just about shopping, but also about eating, so eating is definitely a must, but I rarely go to those websites. For red shops or shops frequented by tourists, I like to go to places where locals gather and find what they like to eat.When a woman is out, sometimes sitting alone in the lobby, drinking and eating meat is a bit too much, so I often pack it up and go back to the hotel, sipping wine and eating meat alone. It’s so beautiful that I wouldn’t exchange it for anything. That kind of beauty [yeah].
The tickets cost more this month, mainly in Tengchong, where there are many attractions, including hot air balloons and flying wings. The total expenses this month are more than 8,000, which is a bit excessive.

Originally, I was going to walk along the border line of Yunnan at the beginning of this month. Who knew that after running for two days, I encountered a checkpoint when I reached the border line. Because of the epidemic, the roads along the border were closed to foreign vehicles. I was Advised to return. So I drove around the so-called S-class highway in Lincang, Yunnan for several days. I ran 20 kilometers in an hour and made 300 turns. Oh my god, I made myself motion sick while driving. But the scenery on the road is really beautiful. When you turn a corner, there may be an unexpected surprise waiting for you, so although the journey is a bit difficult, it is still fun to walk alone. I specially went to Sakura Valley to see cherry blossoms , but because of the hail that had just fallen, all the flowers had fallen, so I felt lonely. When we arrived in Kunming, the Expo Park and were not open, so we went to see the red earth, and there was a strong wind to cool down. It's not always smooth sailing when you go out. There are often various unsatisfactory things waiting for you ahead. This is normal. You are not a god, so how can you have everything go as you want? It all depends on fate. I believe everything is for the best. The arrangement is just to wait until we meet again next time.

I moved to several ancient cities and towns this month, from Lushi Ancient Town, Shitou Village Segumo Village to Weishan Ancient City, and from the ancient city Yunnanyi, which only has one name left. Went to Heijing Ancient Town , then to Jianshui Ancient City , Shiping Ancient City , Fossil Village, etc. Haha, I almost vomited when I saw the ancient city. In order to wash my eyes, I finally went to Samaba to see the rice terraces.

Because I spent a bit more last month, I have controlled it this month. Fortunately, the total cost is more than 6,000, which is just right. I originally hoped My monthly consumption is around 7,000. Otherwise I will have to pay a lot of money.

The last half of the month was also well controlled, but other expenses were a bit more because I had to replace the brake pads. When traveling around Yunnan, the roads were all winding, uphill and downhill, and the brake pads were very useless, so when I was about to leave Yunnan, I went to the 4S shop to check and replaced two brake pads.
I started to see the terraced fields at the end of last month, Guidong terraced fields, Nimei terraced fields, Samarba terraced fields , Yangliu terraced fields, Green tree terraced fields, Tasa terraced fields and Yuanyang terraced fields. Oh my God, I turned half way. Looking at the terraced fields for a month almost made me sick again. Alas, you can’t have too much of anything, otherwise it will make people bored. Then I went to Puzhehei . Alas, it was not smooth sailing again. There I encountered the coldest weather I had seen in decades. The owner and wife of the inn were so cold that they ran to Xishuangbanna. I showed them there. shop.

I don’t like to go to crowded places, so I rarely go to those popular scenic spots, not just because the crowds are annoying. The main reason for the dryness is that the original beauty of the popular scenic spots has been lost, and more modern and commercial things have been added. For the sake of profit, people always want to make the people who go there spend more money, and do A very beautiful place makes people feel uncomfortable when looking at it, and they lose the mood to appreciate the beauty. I came to see the beautiful scenery, not to give them money, so I didn’t enter the later paid scenic spots if I could.
Actually, although I am away from home, I feel that it is the same as at home. When my better clothes and less easy-to-wash clothes arrive in larger cities, I will send them to laundromats for washing. Normal clothes are washed casually, but thick coats, jeans, sheets, quilt covers, etc. can be found at the Youth Charity Holiday Inn. There is usually a washing machine in such places, and it costs 10 yuan to wash each time.
I also buy clothes and shoes on the road. I bought a handmade cheongsam in Shiping Ancient Town. I fell in love with this cheongsam at a glance when I passed by the store. I went in and chatted with the proprietress for a long time, and she still had half of it. Of Vietnamese descent. I also made a T-shirt in an ancient city. I have been out for more than a year and have bought a lot of things outside, without any delays. I really live my life on the road.
It has been a while since I left Yunnan. Although I had no interest in visiting some places at the time, looking back now I still think it was pretty good and I am ready to go there again when I have time. Bingzhongluo, Huayao Dai, Fossil Village, wait for me ~
