Why did you choose first to give travel agents and opt for this line (Lijiang - Tiger Leaping Gorge - Shangri-La - Kunming):
Because only time in the Golden Week travel, along with two squeamish leadership, and more importantly want to save points, the cost (mainly air tickets and accommodation), can only select a travel agent group travel. Online read a lot about Yunnan's travels, visited a friend at the same time reference, so choose Lijiang - Tiger Leaping Gorge - Shangri-La - Kunming line, has several advantages: to avoid the traditional big-Kun Li lines, the number of spots will not be too much (except Tiger Leaping Gorge things have proved less than expected number of people have heard of people with more of Lijiang, No. 3,4); line away from Dali (basically all of them do not recommend), while there is my dream Shangri-La and the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Major stroke and feelings and costs:
(I am from the south, Wuxi, visited Zhangjiajie, Guilin, Zhouzhuang, Banna, Huangshan, etc. Another Heaven has never been specifically stated Jiuzhaigou, feelings will be different for reference purposes only, if not to enjoy Zhi Jiao)

5:00 wake up, based on what our ancestors had long planned proposal to the town shopping, wrapping die hard grind to LD pull up, call up the vehicle (the driver when the door is clearly not awake), 6 points more to the ancient city of big water tankers, days have been a little light, and very few people, city streets on both sides of doors are not opened, all points on both sides of the antique street lights, feels great. Follow the signs up to the eternal and floor, at the door to see a lot of amateur photographers snapping pictures standing on tile houses, in the eternal floor there is a viewing platform inside the ancient city of picture can be seen, so would like to use 20 yuan to pass the guard, who wants to return failure (I say here, people are really benzene, LD said to be honest, ha ha, perhaps) finally spent 30 yuan into the stroll around in a circle, forever floor, no good-looking, that is, observation deck took some photos, take a look at ancient picture, feeling fairly value. In particular, I like to go places with a high look at the scenery (hint: in less than vancomycin floor where we could see part of the city, but I feel it might as well look at all the above). Back to the way the sun shines on the stone road, the morning of the ancient city is really beautiful. At the same time for the first time to see snow-capped mountains, clouds surrounded by the snow-capped mountains, beautiful! The murder of countless film.
8:00 a taxi back to Cabinet, the breakfast has been doing a good job, but also can, but there is no five-star hotel a rich buffet.
9:10 start journey to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, blocked the road drama, everyone complaining that guides why not start earlier, blocked more than 1 hours until the ticket office, and lead even to suggest that we do not go Yunshan Ping, and said, ropeway certainly be blocked 2,3 hours, by our refusal to (be me), to have come, not to big cable (trip route regret, feeling regret is the largest), how can we not go Yunshan Ping it. Did not reach the rope was found Yunshan Ping imagined crowd (which may have gone to a big cable), came in less than an hour to take the ropeway up to the 3200m, coming Yun Shanping walking 15min Plank Road, is surrounded by a mountain surrounded by an alpine grassland, very much regret that due to weather do not see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Mid-levels have been living cloud files. But pretty scenery can, on our side can not see. For the leaders of the three ethnic minority clothing for pictures. Along the Plank Road, after turning a lap down by ropeway.
13:30 In the baishuihe next to the hotel after dinner into our first shopping trip point. Much to buy things. Baishuihe is our second spots, local small, is a very wide number of small waterfalls and pools of artificial calcification. However, the deepest impression is the waterfall on the yak, though seen on television, but still feel a long strange. Unfortunately, not riding pictures (to vote votes).
17:00 The third city attractions. Once again came to the ancient city, many people apparently a lot Dao Chuguang of visiting the old city is great, as if no go to many places to eat in Lijiang Baba (feeling can be), bought some typical things (mainly an online recommendation : The hand-painted map of the Bunun bells, small ornaments) and also bought a book of Lijiang scenery (and I have to buy every one place), the passing Naxi ancient music has been sold out tickets as expected, though, and missed Xuan Ke . 20 points late after dinner, visiting the ancient city of night to be led of premeditated murder (also because a little rain, otherwise I am sure want to go, students, and he led back to that feeling good, a little disappointed), back to hotel to sleep, did not feel tired.

Farewell "and the guide," 7:30 to Shangri-La. Since the departure earlier today, so plan to catch an early fall to the Black Dragon Pool, only wait until the next time. Start on the road basically no scenery, more than one hour later, eyes suddenly see the light, beautiful mountains, valleys suddenly show in front of the mountain is especially high, days, especially blue, the clouds hanging in the Mid-Levels, the very beautiful. Unfortunately, the driver to prevent parking camera (there are a lot of cars on the road to stop taking pictures, that is, the benefits of self-help).
10:20 or so has finally come to a viewing platform parking, the driver says that it is the Yangtze River First Beach, and we get off and have not seen the first Bay, can see only part of the scenery is not bad here, okay, so shoot camera on the get on the train had continued on our way. Opened along the Jinsha River in the mountains for a while, they came to the town bridge, bridge side is under the jurisdiction of Lijiang, over the bridge is Diqing of. After a bridge trying to fix it is difficult to go everywhere landslides of rocks and mud (this time the rain), but also often see a small slope on the left of the debris flow, a lot of sections and other vehicles often need to rendezvous, but this in this neighborhood and this would be a better way, because, after all, State Road (Xizang or "Britain dirty" road).
11:30 We came to the town of Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-La land connected to our tour guide to accompany "pull lead" (Tibetan), in the town run out of unpalatable unparalleled in the after dinner we went to have 9KM of Tiger Leaping Gorge (in the town to see several travel services to countries on foot hotel, it appears that this person Zhenbu Shao foot). Our tour is on the tiger jump tiger jumped on a tour from Lijiang direction, is also available from across the river Zhongdian direction (we walk the line), two road could see each other in the direction of Lijiang drove to the parking lot the need to go back and forth after the 6km of the Plank Road (in the mountains along the river side of sinking, which had just repaired a few years), we can see the opposite, imagine walking in the above must be very stimulating, but the tour guide said that from the other side can only see the Tigers go after the first Gap jump back, do not see the panorama, there is no spectacular here. Our cars and motorcycles to half of the block, and the car too much, the same across the Lijiang River to see the direction of parking lot full of cars. Walk it, to savor the scenery is not bad. See the opposite Plank Road, the above is also a vague one at large in, tour guides say they are open before the foreign adventure family really is hard to imagine how the go. Good parking lot is small, no wonder would be traffic jams, of course, you can not blame it, I heard that construction of the parking lot and on this road have been very easy. Because the parking lot at the Mid-Levels, we need to walk down to see the Tiger Leaping Gorge and the tiger jumped stone. Be able to see down to half of the tiger jumped stone, indeed quite spectacular, and the feeling of watching TV and photo is not the same, just very smooth surface of the river all of a sudden change surging, big gap, it is spectacular. Lijiang to see the other side, there are many tourists, analysis estimated to be missing the big picture point of view, certainly not spectacular here. Recommended in the selection line be sure to choose Zhongdian here (except the whole foot). Done taking photographs on the parking lot, away from Zhongdian, where there is 100KM (added: Zhongdian is the capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, now renamed Shangri-la County). Way again into another landscape, cars in the virgin forests along the streams in the road, often see a small waterfall, landscape well, leaders said, and the road to Jiuzhaigou similar. Because the way slippery, a sport utility vehicle rollover in front of us in the middle of the road leading to Ludu, we are just down and savor the scenery, the other a good-hearted off-road vehicle tow truck turned over to the accident, and we move on. Car a mountain, we came to a small Zhongdian, open landscape of a sudden surprise us, far from the rolling mountains and a large front is a large grassland, full of bright red flowers, blue sky, white clouds are so close, as if on top of the head, everything is so clean, refreshing. Make people feel happy.
5:40 We have come to that Pa Hai, this is the season not to mention the sea water, no, that is surrounded by hills of a vast prairie, where natural conditions are very good, but there are many places were horses, and visitors step on broken grassland. Web sites have not been great, but I started to feel that could, no imagination is so poor. Because the open, we are full spectrum of pose, the murder of film.
7:00 Xinhua hotel we were staying (the conditions can still be). On-line town of Zhongdian (now renamed Shangri-La County) Evaluation of a lot, but I think the fact that after the gap between the large, Zhongdian county town in the Midwest it is not small, it can be said is still relatively prosperous, the conditions are not imagination is so bad that evening when we were out shopping and lively than might be thought more (of course, 11 more people than usual), as are the Tibetans (surprisingly, virtually no encounter other tourists), together with their black skin, Biao Han's body and the cold expression, walking on the road we were a little afraid of the six Han Chinese, but in shopping found people here is really very simple, not like other tourist areas people are so cunning and rude. Something the county seat where the supermarket is very cheap, we bought a lot of local specialties (although not very tasty). Because they can not use plastic bags (local environmental protection policies introduced by the Government), engage in are not easy to get hold of us (supermarket customers will probably not ready to buy so much).
Cost: evening shopping 280

Tour guide said that the plateau will sleep well at night, I went to did not think. It's just begun to see some reaction (headache), hastened to eat two Rhodiola. 7:30 to Bita Lake, wants to change the way drivers and tour guides say go to an all lakes, although the Internet is a right evaluation of the lake are good, but I chose to Bita Lake, as far Bita Lake, road hard go, but the routine is still not walking away Bita Lake is inevitably has its own logic (which is what kind of logic ah). Engage in tour guides and drivers seem to me there are views. 9:30 we arrived at the Bita Lake parking lot (3800m is the highest point of this trip), on the road is fairly good go at that time in order to repair the World Expo 99, the scenery is not bad. According to the online proposal we are prepared to walk down, and then riding up. Is about 4km at large in the beginning, because it was slippery, we spent almost 1 hour through the jungle. Eyes suddenly open, is a grassland and a plateau lakes, walked the lake because of the time and the boat did not come, so shoot camera, in the next few barbecuing ate yak meat, and old point of taste can be. The way she ran a lot of hometown Wuxi, Wuxi, who lamented nice, to support the building of the western region. Back up to go riding, because it was chaotic and many people, we have a few people are separated, we went so far as the regiment was an aunt fell off the horse, I ride ld is the first time, cried called home, her safe return parking field.
At noon, after lunch visit the Songzanlinsi (owned by Chinese Temple), Songzanlinsi Yunnan's largest Tibetan Buddhist temple, built on mountains, temples, and our traditional differences in the following to see panoramic views of the entire temple, than in the pictures is also spectacular, worthy of a small Potala Palace, which is serious and we visited the main hall, the tour guide and representative of the two murals of Tibetan Buddhism (also very interesting to listen to in general I do not like to listen to a), and then every one of us went to see the Buddha, there is a small ceremony. Monks came out to find a photo shot, finished our thanks, learned to give money back to the car may be embarrassed to bar Lama. Opposite the temple there is a market, you can buy beautiful knives, but the aircraft can not be checked, a friend can take a train. Because the evaluation of online visits to the Tibetan people can be, so after dinner several of our young people to play at their own expense, to a Tibetan family is said to be the best (60 1, as well as 30 \ 40). I never expected that a lot of people (estimated at more than 60 people), I thought only a few of us Tibetan visits, specialized in receiving our then, the Tibetan people a great living room at home, as if specifically to receive tourists like us, because the many people, it is difficult to carry out an interactive program (simply can not dance), to eat is also very general, but also other things that give money roasted and feel this activity cost is not high, but Tibetan song and dance too badly. 1 hour in a, it seems that the Tibetan people turned to earn at home. (I've been to the Dai Banna home visits, compared with much worth) feeling is that most of this trip is not worth a place. 10:30 pm We rushed to the plane in Kunming, Shangri-La airport, not much is Expo 99, when the repair and it seems that the organization of the World Expo in Yunnan's infrastructure to make the less advanced 5 years. 11:30 arrived in Kunming, the plane is very nice to see the night view of Kunming (Kunming Airport, the edge in the urban areas). To accompany "Liang guide" took us to the hotel (China land dynasty, damned in the new area, good far) go to sleep until 1:00, feeling a bit tired during the day and have a more significant altitude sickness (headaches).

7:40 to the Stone Forest, road, or I seven years ago, the road (which was the best way to Yunnan Province), 10:00 to reach Shilin, visitors come to the last, when there is not even more people, the size Shilin 2 hours to get, feel, or gods, However, compared with the scenery, and a few days ago, it seems that we have already mentioned the spirit can not afford to. After dinner we went to the Colorful Yunnan, Colorful Yunnan is in the 99 pre-Expo built, divided into jade museum, medicine hall, craft hall, tea, museum, etc., that is, a large set of Yunnan specialty shopping point, but something authentic and can not also Price (worry), a little better than the other shopping spots, the overall price high (the same thing Wal-Ma than 40% -100% higher, of course, a lot of the East Sivori Ma did not), we bought such a small jewelry and Shangri-La's picture Fig. Recommended tea and specialty (what mushroom) in the Wal-horse to buy, can be a lot cheaper. 4:50 pm to Expo Square, making pictures, we even walked inside Nobody wants tickets, either not enough time, we will go a good time, and out, the tour also came at last because more people were found to files lived. Can obviously see that management chaos. After dinner, to accompany that free foot bath, certainly not such a good thing, the four of us decided to act alone, a taxi to the Wal-Ma shopping, bought many trail of tea and chicken there are other specialties. Because the two leaders tired, so only a taxi back to sleep.

8:00 to Kim Ma Bi chicken Square, downtown St. Paul 2, Kunming sign. In the next to add a point of tea (the leadership required to buy much at home). More lively, that is, no time to stroll the fine. Xiang Bridge Park Noodle can only be the next Miles Greek the (morning, the hotel noodle well). Then go to flower market and bought a box of flowers (flowers in Kunming really cheap) and fruits (mangosteen). 12:00 Aircraft - Shanghai Hongqiao, 3:30 High Speed - Wuxi. 7:00 Back to the warm home.
Cost: tea 90, Flower Market 50 mechanical construction 75 * 50 * 2 high-speed two taxi to go home 18
Total cost: travel fares 5000 * 2 (usually this route offer more than 4000 points, other costs of about 2000.
To talk about the overall experience it: the most luxurious one, but it feels fairly value. The time, then self-help is a good choice, as a lot of travel friends said, Lijiang and Shangri-La is required where thin taste, as long as your attitude is good, scenery everywhere, because we put aside all came to a strange place , because we do not pressure, because we are in touch with nature, with nature, because the Shangri-La in our hearts.
