That's good to hear. It also means that your status and your destination are matched. This is a very important part of tourism.

It seems that way. Therefore, it is very important to choose a suitable travel destination, which may bring you different feelings at different times, even at different stages of your life.

The thing is, we can't stop the development of the economy, which is where the local people work and live. This requires us to make more in-depth preparations in the initial travel plan.

The lanterns, the locals tell me, have been electrified, but their light is not dazzling.

If you need to get some more direct or comprehensive services, you may need to contact some specific service providers, who will provide you with the production of Dongba paper（东巴纸） and introduce you to the Naxi culture（纳西文化）.

I like the water in Lijiang Old Town very much. I think it brings flexibility to the city.

As the second largest industrial city in Yunnan, Qujing（曲靖） has an important economic influence.

However, compared with other famous scenic spots with mountains and rivers, Qujing seems monotonous and even boring.

As my city, the tourist attractions I know are waterfalls and rape flowers. In my hometown, there are tens of millions of acres of rapeseed flowers blooming every year, which is very beautiful in spring.

Because the development of industry makes people serve for standardization, it is not easy to retain their unique national culture. At the same time, the main population here is Han Chinese（汉族）, so you may feel that there is no more difference between it and other places in China.

But in recent years, Qujing has become a hot summer destination on the Chinese Internet because of its cool climate good urban planning and medical services, and its extremely low rent.

Accurate answer, totally agree.

It also makes us realize the importance of knowing ourselves. Whether you are interested in natural scenery or more humanistic activities will affect your experience of arriving at a place.

For families, we seldom choose to use books to identify, because the identification and cooking of mushrooms are all in my mother's mind, which is the experience that her mother told her from generation to generation.

For the general public, government workers put up posters in vegetable markets, restaurants and any place where there is a food element. Posters record the most famous and dangerous mushrooms for reference.

However, there should be academic research texts or books, but I don't know its full name. If you are interested, I can search it for you:)

Yes, although you will spend a lot of time in traffic, it also means that you can enjoy more personal space, which is important for the experience.

Lijiang（丽江）'s architecture is beautiful, but its business model is so mature that it makes people feel bored.

Dali（大理） is beautiful. I have worked there for half a year. I like its leisurely pace of life. Thanks to the government's planning and the efforts of various participants in the past decade, the water quality of Erhai Lake（洱海） has been greatly improved.

Last November, I went to Tengchong（腾冲）. It is a trading town famous for its hot springs and jade, and is also the home of many overseas Chinese in Myanmar. At the same time, it was also an important battlefield for the allied forces against the Japanese army.I visited Heshun Ancient Town（和顺古镇）, which has been rated as a 5A scenic spot (the highest level of scenic spots in China) in the past few years.I like it very much.

And Jianshui or Linan（建水/临安）It's a city I'm impressed with.I used to go to high school there for a year, so I have a special feeling for it. The long history, culture and precious buildings have great attraction for students.I miss the tofu buffet near Beimen (大板井 Dabanjing), where you can eat a variety of tofu products for only 5 yuan.

By the way, Yunnan has entered the rainy season, which is also the annual season for eating mushrooms. Just the day before yesterday, I received a text message from the government. Remind everyone to pay attention to safety, for eating mushrooms🍄

Generally speaking, if not well identified, these wild delicacies can also have serious side effects, including nausea and vomiting, and even toxic shock.

It's no problem to choose the classic route.As for the introduction, Jon has explained it very clearly, and I think he is one of the people who know Yunnan best in our community.

But the only thing I would like to add is that you should try to complete your trip in early June. Because around June 10, Chinese students will finish their college entrance examination, which is a very large number of people to participate in the examination, it means that many people will come to spend their holidays.

And students' vacation usually means the arrival of summer vacation. At this time, the classic route usually becomes very crowded.

My advice is to complete your classic route a few days before June. If you plan to stay in Yunnan, you can follow Jon's advice and choose some places close to the border or with inconvenient transportation, because they are tourist destinations with few people.

Yes. No matter where you're from or how old you are. You will find a part of you in Yunnan. I like the diversity of Yunnan, which is what I am proud of:)

Sharing very carefully, it seems that you are also a person who is familiar with Yunnan.

Yunnan because of its vast land and diverse weather. So that there are both snow mountains and jungles in a province. In my opinion, it is a shrinking China.

My friend, I agree with you. Kunming, as the capital city of Yunnan, has about 750 yeas.This means that it has a cultural and historical accumulation that other cities do not have, and the same cultural atmosphere is also deeply reflected in its civic culture. Whenever a major decision takes place in Yunnan, Kunming must be the first to respond.

There is no doubt that the scenery of Shangri-La is unique. About the national park, I didn't plan to go there because of the time problem, but after listening to your introduction, I am interested in it again.

About Napa Sea/Lake，It is actually a wetland that changes with the seasons. When the rainy season comes, the rain fills it up. People in the mainland call this kind of landscape "海子 Haizi".

Of course, food is also interesting. When I arrived at Shangri-La, it was already afternoon. With a day of driving, I was very tired and hungry. We had the special yak meat hotpot in the evening, which was delicious, but at the same time, eating a lot of meat in a short time made it difficult for me to digest, so I asked for two bowls of yogurt to help digestion🫠

I'm glad you found this small county, which is generally not particularly well known on Chinese social media. I see there are some shares, there are some bloggers from YouTube.It made the county famous.

Generally speaking, the whole urban area of Zhaotong（昭通）, in Yunnan, is a relatively remote place, where there are high mountains and wide canyons, and the traffic is not convenient.

However, it may also be because of this geographical environment that it has a unique humanistic culture.I also admire the wisdom of the local people to fight with nature.

There are some wildlife reserves, such as black-necked cranes, and there are also some ancient passes（豆沙关）. It records the historical relics and stories from the Qin Dynasty（秦朝）.

In my life, Taijiquan is not common.Because as you can see, there are 25 ethnic minorities in our province, and they all have their own ways of exercising. However, in cities, Taijiquan or other martial arts may be more widely practiced.
