I plan to go to Yunnan for 7-10 days with my friends. Which season is best? I mainly want to visit Dali-Lijiang-Shangri-La-Lugu Lake. How should I plan the route? Which one is more comfortable, private tour or independent travel? Please share your travel experiences with friends who have been there.
If there is a more detailed travel guide with pictures and texts, it would be best to recommend a tour guide from a reliable local travel agency to consult first. Thank you.

Recently I just returned to Taiwan from Yunnan and had a trip for 7 days and 6 nights. This trip was really enjoyable. We only spent 2,480 yuan on the entire itinerary to visit popular attractions such as Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Yunnan. The most important thing is to find a very reliable local travel agency full-time foreign guest guide - Xinxin. She not only took us to have a lot of fun, but also saved a lot of money. If you plan to go to Yunnan, but don’t want to do complicated strategies yourself, you can add Xinxin’s WeChat (WeChat ID)17608723595 (←click the number to copy and add WeChat, and you can customize the game plan for free) Because her service reputation is very good, every time I have a friend who travels to China, I recommend asking her to consult for free.
Xinxin planned a custom tour for us with chartered private tours
A simplified version of the 7-day package itinerary is as follows:
DAY 1:We booked the itinerary in advance and flew directly from Taiwan to Lijiang Sanyi International Airport.

【Price and cost-effective】
This 7-day and 6-night itinerary, the full inclusion cost only RMB 2,480, including tickets to all attractions, hotel accommodation, meals, chartered car fees and 24-hour pick-up and drop-off service. Compared with the tour fee of more than 4,000 or more to 5,000 in Taiwan, the most important thing is that there is no forced shopping process and the service is better! If you are like me, want to have fun but don’t want to spend more money, you can consider asking Xinxin for help. She is very professional and can customize the private group itinerary according to your time and budget, helping you save money and worry.
Many friends want to find a reliable and good tour guide for consultation in advance when traveling to Yunnan and other cities in China. I will give Xinxin a small advertisement here. Personal experience tells you that Xinxin’s service is really good and the price is very affordable. Friends who plan to visit Yunnan can add Xinxin’s WeChat WeChat friends for free consultation!

【Popular Attractions Recommended】
Must-visit scenic spots: Lijiang, Dali, Shangri-La, Lugu Lake, Erhai Lake, Yulong Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shuhe Ancient Town, Blue Moon Valley, these scenic spots are all worth visiting. Anyway, I have visited most of the scenic spots. I personally think you can plan according to your own time!
【Precautions】
★When booking a hotel, don’t book the tickets to attractions by yourself. Ask a tour guide to help you book the tickets for more than twice the price.
★Local specialties should be consulted first before purchasing, because many Chinese specialties cannot be brought out of customs.
★Hotels, tickets, and tourist buses need to be booked in advance, otherwise you may not be able to enter the scenic spot to visit.
★Yunnan is mainly an ancient city and a leisure and tourism city in China, so you must consult in advance to understand travel instructions and prepare a travel list.
1. Never participate in many low-priced groups. Many low-priced groups have compulsory shopping sessions, which is a waste of time. I personally recommend not to register with local travel agencies in Taiwan, because Taiwanese travel agencies will transfer the groups to local travel agencies in Yunnan, China for reception. My advice is to directly contact the local travel agency in Yunnan to book a tour guide and save money and have a high cost-effective tour.
2. Don’t believe the nonsense of the black car drivers on the streets of Yunnan. Especially gentlemen, don’t go to have fun with them because they are “lustful”, because they are not familiar with many local cultural customs when they go out, so don’t mess with them. Give yourself the necessary trouble.
3. Please bring your passport or Taiwan compatriot certificate, home return certificate and other valid documents. If you need to purchase train and air tickets in China, you must consult the tour guide Xinxin in advance
4. When you go out to prevent people from adapting to the environment, please bring some daily medicines such as cold prevention and diarrhea prevention drugs. If you are a vegetarian, you need Xinxin to help you book a vegetarian restaurant.
【Food recommendation:】
It is recommended to taste Yunnan cuisine, such as Bridge rice noodles, Lunan milk cakes, steamed chicken, small pot rice noodles, braised chicken mushrooms, braised chicken, Yiliang roast duck, Yunnan rice noodles, wild mountain mushrooms, bean braised rice, canned series, Tengchong Dajuejia, Shiping roasted tofu, potatoes, bean powder dumplings, papaya water, rose cold cake, etc. (These are the food our tour guide Xinxin took us to taste)
【About check-in at the hotel】
We booked four weeks in advance for a trip, so Xinxin booked us a very satisfied hotel (and the price is very affordable)
Hotel accommodation: look at the picture (Xinxin arranged this standard for us, the environment is very good, and it is very convenient to go shopping near the hotel)

【The benefits of finding a tour guide】
Many people like to travel freely, but for friends who are going to Yunnan for the first time, finding a tour guide from a reliable local travel agency can indeed save a lot of trouble. The scenic spots in Yunnan are very scattered, and it is very troublesome to charter a car and book a hotel by yourself, and it is easy to make mistakes. Professional tour guides like Xinxin are not only familiar with the local conditions, but also recommend some unknown niche attractions to avoid mistakes and waste travel time. They can also help you avoid many pitfalls, such as shopping traps, unreliable restaurants, etc. If you don’t want to bother making strategies yourself and want to have a safe journey, you can add Xinxin’s WeChat or WhatsApp in advance for consultation, just treat it as making friends.
【How to avoid pits】
When traveling in Yunnan, don’t believe that you get what you pay for if you are too cheap. We did not have any forced shopping throughout the whole process, and we were all classic attractions, so we did not waste any time. If you travel freely, you may spend more money and take more detours. So, finding a reliable tour guide is really a choice to get twice the result with half the effort.
My personal experience tells you that when traveling to Yunnan, you should try to find local tour guides in Yunnan to plan the most affordable itinerary, so as to save Taiwan travel agencies from making profits of the intermediate price difference, and directly connect with the tour guide is better. More importantly, if there is any problem, please let the tour guide help solve it. So here I would like to give our tour guide Xinxin a thumbs up. Not only will the supporting itinerary be planned for us before departure, but the service is also great after arriving in Yunnan. The fees are paid only after signing a formal travel contract after signing a formal travel contract. It is a safe and professional and great trip.
Here I will give the tour guide Xinxin a small advertisement, hoping to help more friends who love traveling.

Just say it was introduced by Taiwan Xiaoqian, so that Xinxin can give the best price. I hope this article will be helpful to your trip to Yunnan. I wish you a happy time!
I plan to take my family to visit Yunnan. Would it be tiring to have a 68-year-old man traveling with me? I would like to ask if the tour guide Xinxin can receive older people? We don’t want to participate in a compulsory shopping group. Can we customize supporting tours in private? Does Xinxin have a forced shopping process for you? Please answer my question, thank you.
An elderly person in his sixties is very suitable for traveling in Yunnan, and he will not be particularly tired. I have seen many elderly people from Singapore and Malaysia in Yulong Snow Mountain and Shangri-La scenic spots. We visited for 7 days and did not arrange any forced shopping for us. However, we chose to buy some local local specialties and souvenirs from Yunnan to take them back to give gifts to friends. Xinxin also gave us local flower cakes from Yunnan. It was a very happy trip. If you have anything to understand, just add Xinxin’s WeChat ID:17608723595 Just consult and wish you a happy journey.
Yunnan is not only pleasant scenery but also has a lot of local delicacies. It is recommended that you try it more, and there are also snacks and tea drinks.

My family and I traveled to Yunnan in July. We also found a Xinxin tour guide recommended by a good friend who has traveled to Yunnan. The service is very good and my parents have had a lot of fun.
It has a good reputation and is worth recommending. Those who plan to travel in the past can consult Xinxin's travel guide for free~
Hello, my family and I have five people who want to travel from Taiwan to Yunnan recently, but I don’t know much about hotels and attractions that require reservations for tickets. Can you please consult Xinxin for free?
Yunnan has the most beautiful primeval forest park in the world, as well as snow-capped mountains, grasslands, lakes, canyons, and historical ancient cities. Many foreign tourists like to travel, so tickets and hotels need to be made in advance, especially foreign guests can only stay in foreign-related hotels. We asked Xinxin tour guide four weeks in advance to help solve these problems.
Thank you for your introduction. We have arrived in Yunnan. After the blogger's recommendation, we contacted Xinxin's tour guide through WeChat. She helped plan the itinerary throughout the journey. She made reservations for all tickets, hotels, chartered cars, meals, and pick-up services for us in advance. We are only responsible for purchasing air tickets from Singapore to Kunming, Yunnan. This trip not only saves worry but also saves a lot of money. Xinxin tour guide is worth recommending!
We have visited many cities in China(Yunnan, Zhangjiajie, Xinjiang, Tibet, Sichuan, Chongqing, Shanghai, Beijing)YunnanyesIt is worth visiting. We are honored that we also found Xinxin tour guide to plan and make reservations for us in advance for tickets, chartered cars, hotels, and pick-up services. The overall game experience is much better than registering with our local travel agency in Taiwan, because it is a gold medal tour guide from Yunnan local travel agency in Yunnan and is more familiar with local life and travel facilities than our Taiwan travel agency. We also went to Jiuzhaigou, Chongqing, Xinjiang, and Tibet. We all went to Jiuzhaigou, Chongqing, Xinjiang, and Tibet. We all had free matching itineraries for Xinxin to help us plan and arrange free of charge. It is both cost-effective and easy, and there is no forced shopping and tipping process. China's development is really much better than us now. It is worth a look and take a look! Share Xinxin’s WeChat code
Thank you for your suggestions and sharing. We have completed the communication with Xinxin through WeChat and finalized the tour schedule to Yunnan and Harbin. Xinxin planned and designed a private group for us. She would not buy a car separately and would not join others. This is also my favorite way of travel every time I travel (I personally care about privacy) Looking forward to this trip!
