For our first train ticket from Kunming to Lijiang, we bought the ticket before we flew at www.12306.cn. However, not easy to buy. We were successful after many attempts
Thank you for the super detailed and well put together travel videos! I'm planning a Yunnan trip soon and your content is beyond helpful. Looking forward to more of your content. :)
Hi, at Dali your intention to take Ximatan ropeway to midway, hiked 4.6km and take the Gantong ropeway down was not possible because of limited time. How long this will take according to your estimate. And what is the total cost of ropeway ride, entrance fee and others, if any.
You didn't go to the popular 3 pagodas in Dali. May I know what make you choose (your intention) hiking up Changsan mountain instead of visiting the popular 3 pagodas.
Found, liked and subbed your channel today.😊 would love to see more China downloads as the more i see, the more i fall in love with China...greetings from Johannesburg, South Africa 🇿🇦
License not required. When we scanned the QR code on the bike using WeChat, the relevant app required us to input China mobile number and we did not have that
Possible to share name of all the accommodations throughout your 12-day trip in Kunming, Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La ? Also, the price of stay per night & your comments on cleaniness, location etc. Thanx in advance
Generally, they were all quite good. Clean, good location, great room size and staff were helpful. Also generous in providing bottled water (except at Shaxi). Lijiang - Xilu Xiaoxie Inn Within Lijiang ancient town but at a corner away from the noisy bustling area & near the south gate. But in the room, can hear noise if guests were to talk in the corridor. Helped to bring our luggage from the south gate. Shangri-La - Floral Hotel-Shangri-La Blue Sky Walking distance to Dukezong ancient town North Gate & the parking area to take the tour bus to Balagezong; Staff helped to reserve a booking for the Balagezong tour. Other attractions are also just a short drive away. Shaxi - Wuyuenian Renwen Inn Within Shaxi Ancient Town. No air conditioning but no problem for us as the weather was cooling. Staff helped to bring luggage to the Inn. Dali - Dali Yunxi Boutique Inn Just outside Dali Ancient Town, Great Hospitality. Gave us useful advice on the routes for the various attractions. Kunming - Fairfield by Marriott Kunming Xinying Walking distance to the nearest Metro station. Next to the Shopping Mall. Breakfast included. Our accommodations were all 3 in a room. I don't think the rates will be relevant to you. You may check the current rate at booking.com.
Hello, thank you for the upload! I am looking at going to Yunnan as well, wanted to ask if foreigners are able to rent a car in Yunnan for self driving?
@@holidayingyourway513 Hi So on the 7th day, you stay in Shaxi - Wuyuenian Renwen Inn? and on the 8th at Dali Yunxi Boutique Inn? And can we leave our luggage at these inns before check in time? and is it 云溪 inn or 云栖？cos Baidu map shows so many yunxi... and what time did the bike rental end at Erhai?
Yes, we only stayed one day in Shaxi. FYI, that hotel has no air conditioning. Dali Yunxi Boutique Inn (大理云兮精品客栈) Yes, can leave luggage at Inn before check-in time. Bike rental is using App, so can be any time. But the app we tried in WeChat requires China mobile number. You might want to try the Hello App in Alipay. Not sure if it requires China mobile number too. For the electric shuttle bus, last service is at 5:30pm
loved your videos!!!!! thank you!!!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
How much did your didi ride cost from Shaxi to Dali
CNY313 (including toll CNY63)
How do you book your train ticket in advance ? Tq

Do you think it’s worth it to stop by Shaxi or even staying for 1 night? I’m afraid the itinerary will be too packed
We enjoyed our time at Shaxi. If going, should stay for one night so that you have more time to explore the place. Can skip the Friday Market though

We were told will take about 5 hrs. Have no idea of ropeway cost

No particular reason. Just a preference.

Hi, may l know why u were unable to rent the electric bikes/ scooters in erhai? Do we need to have a license?
License not required. When we scanned the QR code on the bike using WeChat, the relevant app required us to input China mobile number and we did not have that
Oh so if l’m using an esim (retain my local number) , l wont be able to rent the bikes?
I guess not unless at bike rental shops in Dali ancient town.
