The first three points of Yunnan tourism shopping:
First, handicrafts are best bought in Old Town of Lijiang.
Two, jewelry products, the price exceeds 500 yuan's cautious purchase. If the price exceeds 1000 yuan, you can bargain and ask a tour guide for help. Generally, tour guides have rebates, and they can help you negotiate a 6-7 discount.
Third, you can buy local products. Don't buy too many. You can buy more varieties, such as Pu 'er tea, Panax notoginseng and Dongba meat.
Other suggestions for Yunnan tourism:
1, you'd better travel by yourself. Now the traffic in Yunnan is very convenient, especially the road traffic is very developed, so it is very convenient to go anywhere, and even in the busiest time, cars can be guaranteed to arrive. So don't worry about the traffic. Not to mention accommodation, which level of room you want to live in is absolutely no problem. There are dozens to hundreds of rooms in Old Town of Lijiang. You can find the right one according to your actual needs. The free life post station, ivy, oak park and so on recommended online are all good.
If you stop at the destination before taking the bus, you'd better take the bus that comes every night, which can save some time and money, but only if you have enough energy and physical strength. Young man, I think there is generally no problem. If you take the bus, you can go directly to the parking lot of the bus station at 4 or 5 pm and find the car you want to go to (there is usually a sign on the windshield in front of the car). Sometimes there are several cars, so you can find the latest one, which is safer and faster. After finding it, you can directly negotiate the price with the owner, which is generally 20-30 yuan cheaper than buying a ticket at the station window (hehe, of course, you should look at the price tag in advance). Be sure to book a seat and get a good ticket. In Kunming, there are many long-distance stations with similar prices. You can ask, someone will be happy to help you.
3. If you want to buy tea, you'd better not buy it at the shopping point of the travel agency, ask a trusted innkeeper for help or go to a large supermarket or shopping mall. In this case, maybe the price of the tea you bought at the shopping point can make you get back four times the tea.
If you like jade, don't buy it locally, especially in the shopping spots of travel agencies. I suggest you go shopping in the ancient city to bargain first, and then let the innkeeper take it with you to buy things, so that you can experience the fun of shopping. When buying valuables such as sterling silver ornaments, jadeite jade, crystal gems, plateau medicinal materials, etc. Be sure to go to the Quality Supervision Bureau for testing, no matter how much you trust and how big the store is, because you can make yourself happy on the trip with confidence.
When going to Lunan Stone Forest or Jiuxiang, you'd better find a car yourself, because I've tried a one-day tour. As a result, almost all the cars leave in the morning, pass through three shopping spots and arrive at their destinations. After lunch, they hurried for about two hours. After returning to Kunming, they were forced to go to a hospital in Huang Chuangui. I didn't expect the hospital opened by soldiers to be so overbearing now! The most unbearable thing is that after arriving at the scenic spots, almost all the group tourists from nearby cities arrive at the same time (because they all eat there), and the scenic spots in Shilin and Jiuxiang are relatively concentrated, so there is a spectacular scene in which adults look at their heads and children look at their asses. Unfortunately, there are not many stones, and there is no fun.
6. When staying in Dali and Lijiang, you must find a small inn run by local residents and stay in their home (usually a quadrangle), so that you can truly feel the leisurely life and pure and peaceful mentality of the local people. After going out to play, you can also chat with the old people and children of the people you live in, get to know the local situation and eat their meals with them. Staying in a hotel in Lijiang is very corny, hehe. In Lijiang, you must live in the houses of Dayan ancient city. I think you must live in the courtyard of an inn with a big yard and plenty of sunshine, such as the Free Life Post Office, in order to really enjoy Lijiang's feeling of being in a daze in the sun. In Dali, you must also live in the ancient city of Dali.
7. If you are traveling in go to dali, you'd better not take a one-day tour. I tell you from personal experience that a one-day trip may hurt your good mood for Dali. If you take a cruise to Erhai Lake, you can buy a half-way ticket, which is around 60 yuan. After disembarking in butterfly spring, you can go there by carriage or on foot. It's very close. If you join a tour group, they will give you about half an hour for each scenic spot, and the rest of the time is endless shopping! Even if you don't buy it, you have to wait If you have a little more time, you can find a boat to swim in Erhai Lake and make sure you never forget it! Maybe the ancient city of go to dali can ask the coachman. Of course, you'd better spend five yuan to visit the ancient city by carriage. When chatting, the coachman will definitely tell you how to find the boat. A day's boat rental in 200 yuan is not expensive for three or four people. They will also invite you to lunch, and the delicious small fish caught from Erhai Lake is a dish.
8. Lugu Lake is picturesque, and most of the guests who have been there say it's beautiful, but it's a long drive, and it takes more than seven hours for one way. One bend and eighteen bends. When passing through every corner, drivers are playing drifting, and drifting on the edge of the cliff is exciting. Almost every female guest feels it with her eyes closed. In addition, there are many gravel roads in Lugu Lake, which are not smooth and bumpy. Well, it took so much saliva, not to tell everyone not to go, but to make everyone fully prepared to travel.
9. In Lugu Lake, if time permits, you must stay for a few more days and walk along the lake by yourself. It is best to contact the bus to Rige or Dazui, where the Mosuo people are primitive. The place where the bus from the general passenger station goes is already a resort-like drowning village. Although it is still a Mosuo, it has been sinicized to the point that only the clothes it wears belong to the Mosuo.
10, Meili Snow Mountain, also known as Prince of Snow Mountain, is the most eye-catching scenery of Jinshan in Rizhao. Generally, after reading Mei Li, you don't need to see Yulong, because it's not a grade at all. Meili Mountain is located between Nujiang River and Lancang River in the middle section of Hengduan Mountain, about 10 km northeast of Deqin County, Yunnan Province. There are 13 peaks, with an average elevation of more than 6000 meters, which is called the main peak of Prince Thirteen. Carvajal Slope is as high as 6740 meters, which is the highest peak in Yunnan. Yubeng is a Tibetan natural village at the foot of goddess peak in Meili Snow Mountain. Walking there is quite a sense of paradise, which is the epitome of Shangri-La. Yubeng Waterfall has always been a holy place for Tibetan Buddhism to worship. Thousands of believers come to worship from Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and other places every year.
1 1. If you have time to go to Ruili and are interested in going to Myanmar, there are many small souvenirs of Myanmar before crossing the border, such as commemorative stamps and Myanmar currency. It's best not to buy it first, and then buy it in Myanmar, where things are relatively cheap and RMB is ok!
12. If you go to Myanmar, the tour guide will definitely let you watch the shemale show. If you are interested, you might as well go and have a look. But if the shemale wants to ask you to take a photo and sign your name, we must negotiate the price in advance. In addition, according to the tour guide, if the shemale mysteriously asks you to identify her, don't go, or you will have to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
13. When traveling to Lijiang, you must not miss the Naxi Ancient Music Concert held at Dayan Ancient Music Hall at 8 pm! And it must be presided over by Dr. Xuanke himself! Some people say that the bone of Lijiang is Yulong Snow Mountain, and the soul of Lijiang is Naxi ancient music! General inns can provide booking service in 20 yuan at a price lower than the par value. The ancient music played here is as precious as the unearthed cultural relics, and the band playing ancient music can be said to be the oldest and best ancient band in the world! They have performed in more than 20 countries and regions, and President Jiang Zemin also wrote inscriptions for them. If possible, talking with the first celebrity and geek Xuanke in Lijiang will definitely have an unprecedented feeling! His humor, his wisdom, his vicissitudes, his legend and everything about him will surely benefit you a lot.
14. When traveling in Lijiang, you can ignore Yulong Snow Mountain (commonly known as Yushanping), because the tickets there are expensive (including cable car tickets are more than 300 yuan) and there are few snow blocks. I suggest going directly to Meili Snow Mountain.
15. When eating rice noodles across the bridge in Yunnan, you must find an authentic restaurant, otherwise you will definitely eat this famous snack. You can ask the innkeeper for specific snacks. When they stay in Lijiang, they usually know where there is delicious food. In Kunming, you can try Xiang Qiao Garden or Jixin Garden, where the rice noodles crossing the bridge are authentic. In the latter, you can also enjoy singing and dancing performances in Yunnan while tasting. The best advice is to eat the one with 20 yuan. It's economical and delicious. I tried something more expensive, just a little more material.
16, Yunnan is a kingdom of animals and plants. When you arrive in Yunnan, there is one thing you must not miss, that is, all kinds of wild mushrooms with extremely sweet taste, where the prices are particularly cheap. You can also go to the kitchen to choose them yourself, because I can't tell the real names of many fungi, but I know they are delicious, but it is difficult to tell you the specific names. You can choose for yourself. Now let me tell you about the delicious fungi I know, such as chicken fir. Its name is a bit strange. I didn't understand when the chef told me, but I didn't understand until I checked the lyrics. Its strange name doesn't hinder its delicious taste. It grows in strange places, on termite nests in the fields. As for why it grows in the termite nest, no one can understand it so far, and I can't understand it either. The mushroom cover of the chicken fir is not big, but the mushroom handle below is long and thick. Generally, the part eaten in mushrooms is mostly in the mushroom cap, but the best place to eat chicken fir is in the chicken handle. Chicken fir is the king of bacteria. It tastes a bit like chicken, but it is far more delicious, tender, slag-free, smooth and has a faint fragrance. Yunnan is the hometown of fungi. In addition to chicken fir, dry bar, boletus, Penicillium and so on. It's delicious. I have eaten more wild mushrooms in Yunnan for a month than I have eaten in more than 20 years. Stop it. My mouth is watering again.
17, just don't forget to consult the local tourism agencies about local ethnic festivals before you go, so as to arrange your own itinerary. Yunnan is a major ethnic minority province in China, with 26 ethnic minorities, accounting for almost half of the national ethnic minorities. The most worthwhile place to visit in Yunnan is not its beautiful scenery, but its human landscape, where there are many strange customs that you have never thought of, and these customs are often best reflected in their festivals. Therefore, when preparing your travel plan, don't forget to listen to the folk festivals of various ethnic minorities first, and choose the days you are interested in, so you will gain more feelings.
18, in fact, it is no longer a suggestion, but it is better to act immediately. With the rapid economic construction of highways, railways and airports in Yunnan and the developed traffic, many landscapes in Yunnan have lost their original charm.
19, safety comes first when you are away from home. It is best to take a short-term travel accident insurance. There are many insurance products and the prices are very cheap. More importantly, you can also help with the claim.
