The most representative scenic spots in regional division
Shilin, the capital of Kunming
Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture
Yulong Snow Mountain, Lijiang City, Lijiang (large and small ropeways)
Pudacuo National Forest Park in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Shangri-La
Lugu Lake is a boundary lake between Sichuan and Yunnan, and Yunnan belongs to Liwubi Island in Lijiang City, where pigs swim by boat.
Wild Elephant Valley and Primitive Forest in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture
The above scenic spots belong to the most representative scenic spots in China. If there is no such representative scenic spot in the itinerary when signing up for the tour, it belongs to the marginal scenic spot. The difference is that tickets representing scenic spots are expensive and enjoyable, so they are a must-see attraction. Tickets for scenic spots are cheap, and as an auxiliary scenic spot at ordinary times, the enjoyment is average. When signing up for a tour, you should pay attention to what kind of route this trip belongs to. Some travel itineraries, from the whole article, are all about scenic spots, that is to say, only take you to that place, not to the main scenic spots. This is definitely not worth the loss.
Secondly, when joining the group, you can choose the way to join the group according to your own needs:
Long-distance group tour: The so-called long-distance group tour is to gather tourists from all over the country (usually to Kunming) to take a fixed route for a long time and visit many places. For example, Lijiang, Dali, Kunming 6-day tour, Shangri-La, Lijiang, Dali, Kunming 8-day tour and so on. The advantage of this route is that you can go to all the places you have never been to at one time, and the price is relatively cheap. Accommodation, catering, transportation and tickets are all included in the itinerary. The disadvantage is that the route is fixed and not free, and the tour guide will go wherever he takes it. During the trip, various shopping shops and self-funded projects will be arranged, which has certain restrictions on the conditions of tourists, such as flying to Yunnan over a few years old. It is estimated that older tourists and people who can afford to fly will have stronger purchasing power, so various restrictions have been made. Imagine a 6-day tour of Lijiang, Dali and Kunming. If you play by yourself, it costs at least two or three thousand yuan, while signing up for a tour through a travel agency may cost only a few hundred yuan. Therefore, we must arrange shopping during the trip to earn back the cost. Therefore, when choosing this kind of route, one is to pay attention to whether the itinerary is a representative scenic spot, and the other is to look at the commitment of the merchants. There must be one in the shopping mall, but can you guarantee that the tour guide will not be forced?
This kind of line is on Taobao, and there are many merchants in Kunming local travel agency. Usually, they just integrate the various routes of Kunming travel agencies, large and small, and put them online for tourists with their own needs to choose. Once tourists buy a route, they hand it over to the travel agency that produces the route (they have their own motorcade and tour guides, which actually operate the tourists' itinerary), so they just earn the difference in the middle as a transit. So when you choose, you must ask the merchants: "Is this route your own?" "Is it your own team and tour guide?" Wait, there are several simple ways to distinguish. First, look at the bus stop sign. The so-called bus stop sign refers to the sign held by the airport pick-up staff after the tourists get off the plane and the train. If the name of this merchant on Taobao is "Kang Hui" and the bus stop sign belongs to other travel agencies, then this route is definitely not owned by the merchant. In addition, you can also check whether the products in the store include air tickets. For example, if you are in Beijing, you want to apply for a six-day tour from Beijing to Yunnan, and see if the store has an itinerary that includes air tickets from Beijing. Regular travel agencies will have their own airline ticketing departments, and they will sign agreements with airlines every year to get cheaper air tickets, which is also a way to distinguish the size of travel agencies. If a merchant marks the words "round-trip air tickets are not included in this trip" and "round-trip air tickets are self-care" on the webpage, the store must not have the qualification to operate independently or the scale is extremely small.
In addition, it must be said that some qualified and large-scale travel agencies will not directly sell their routes to tourists, but will only cater to tour groups from other provinces (travel agencies that are not local in Yunnan but have their own air ticketing departments to organize local tourists to travel to Yunnan) or local distributors (located in Yunnan, which collect tourists from other provinces but generally have no air ticketing departments) to receive tourists from all over the country through these channels. Therefore, choosing a place of residence to join a tour group is less risky than calling a local travel agency in Kunming directly. In this way, the problems that arise during the journey can be solved at home. Imagine if you signed up for a local tour group in Kunming through the internet and went home after the game, who would you ask for a refund at this time? After all, there are really tourist shops near where you live. You can go directly to find someone if you want to argue. If you report directly to the local group in Kunming, who will you talk to once you leave Yunnan?
Off-topic: If you don't care about the location of the tour group or whether you have been transferred to join the tour group, then this is the easiest way. Look at the store rating and tourist evaluation. The store's score must be above 4.8 to say that the service level is good, and below 4.8, either regardless of product quality, as long as the profit is high, or the store can't solve the problems during the trip. At the same time, if you have time in Kunming, you must go to the travel agency for a field trip. Travel agencies with remote places and few employees must have problems. In addition, on Taobao, you can see the customer service volume of merchants. Some merchants can hang several or even a dozen Want Want customers at the same time. How to distinguish them? It's simple. Want Want, a general customer service, has a quick reply phrase and a signature. You can open it and have a look If the signature is the same, or the quick reply phrase is the same, or even the customer service usage is the same, then it must be the same customer service chatting with you.
Short-term package tour: refers to fixed routes with shorter trips and less time consumption, such as two-day tour of Shangri-La, four-day tour of Meili Snow Mountain and two-day tour of Xishuangbanna. This kind of travel can be divided into two situations, one is a simple trip or a trip with only a few shopping shops, and the other is a trip with more shops. How to distinguish?
1. If you mainly play in places like Meili Snow Mountain in Shangri-La, Lijiang is the northwest area of Yunnan's administrative map (Lijiang City and Diqing District). You can directly find a local travel agency or outdoor pure play club in Lijiang on Taobao, and even sign up for a tour when you arrive in Lijiang. Shangri-la Lijiang is different from Kunming, where there are not so many travel agencies and it is not as chaotic as Kunming. Moreover, there are many outdoor clubs, which is the product of the development of tourism to a certain height, from low-priced shopping groups to high-priced pure play groups, which is also a good result of Lijiang government's long-term policy orientation. Therefore, it is suggested that tourists who only want to play in the northwest can directly find local travel agencies or clubs in Lijiang to sign up for sightseeing. There are several choices online: Lvyouquan Outdoor Club, Lijiang Lazy Cat Travel Agency, Lijiang Aladdin Tourism, Lijiang Sanjiang Outdoor Club, etc. , mainly pure gameplay route, with high online score. In addition, Lijiang has an airport, which can fly directly to Lijiang from outside the province. If you want to transfer in Kunming, you can take the train from Kunming to Lijiang. Sleeper about 150 yuan, hard seat 89 yuan. In addition, there are long-distance buses departing from the western passenger station. Very convenient.
2. If you want to go to South Yunnan (Xishuangbanna) and Southwest Yunnan (Ruili Baoshan, Tengchong), because there are no trains and few flights in Banna and Baoshan, you must transit through Kunming, and you can choose a local travel agency in Xishuangbanna to sign up for a tour. The available travel agencies are: Yiheda Tourism in Xishuangbanna, Jinghong Business Travel in Zheng Da, etc. If you want to play by yourself, you can take a bus to Banna, and the fare is around 200 yuan. There are planes flying to Banna in Kunming, and the fare is around 600 yuan. Where can I buy a plane ticket online? In addition, several local travel agencies in Kunming can also do the same, which are generally one-stop packages for Kunming's transit, such as overseas exhibition departments and Kang Hui tourism flagship stores. In addition, Banna and Tengchong are close to Myanmar, and tourism commodity industries such as jade are developed. The quality of a route depends on the number of jade shops it enters. The more it enters, the worse the interest of tourists. Originally, tourism is mainly about leisure and vacation, so it is meaningless to make it mainly about shopping and consumption.
One-day tour: just a short trip in one day, such as one-day tour of Yulong Snow Mountain and one-day tour of Shilin.
1. Let's talk about Yulong Snow Mountain first. Yulong Snow Mountain is a scenic spot, not a spot. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain includes Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Climbing, Snow Mountain Cableway, Small Cableway, Dry Haizi, Blue Moon Valley, Yushui Village and Black Dragon Pool. The small cableway only reached the mountainside of the snowy mountain, and only the snow on the top of the mountain could be seen from a distance. The big ropeway is to climb to the top, so the playability of the big ropeway is higher than that of the small ropeway, and the price is much more expensive than that of the small ropeway. It is recommended to find local travel agencies and clubs in Lijiang to sign up for travel. If Kunming Newspaper Group travels with a group for a long distance, it usually goes to the small ropeway (there are few big ropeway routes, and some are generally high-end routes), and some trips have no small attractions at the foot of the snow-capped mountains (to save money) or only small attractions do not go to the snow-capped mountains.
2. One-day tour around Kunming, such as Shilin Tour. Just search the itinerary of a one-day tour of Shilin and you will find that the prices are uneven, ranging from tens of yuan to more than 200 yuan. Some one-day tours of tens of yuan even include pick-up and accommodation. Why? As I said before, the cheaper the trip, the more stores he will enter, because he will earn back the cost by shopping. Shilin air ticket 175 yuan, Shilin round-trip ticket to Kunming 50 yuan, airport transfer ticket to 50 yuan. You can go to the booking website to check the accommodation. Samsung is above 200 yuan, so the cost should be around 500 yuan, so you should keep bringing tourists into the store to buy. Therefore, the cheaper a day trip, the more tricky it is. Of course, if you can stay in Kunming for one night just for someone to pick you up at the airport, you can choose these low-cost routes, but you can't miss any shopping stores. Don't blame the tour guide for making you look bad if you don't buy anything. So I'd rather choose an expensive one than travel for tens of dollars.
Independent group tour: a large number of tour groups organized by a unit or family can tailor the tour route according to their own preferences. Unlike group tours, you can get up at 6 am and enter several shopping stores. Independent groups can freely choose whether to enter the shopping store, choose the scenic spots to go, and even the tour guides and cars can be customized. However, the general cost is higher, and tourists who want to play with confidence and economic strength can choose. Independent tour groups suggest going directly to the tour agency where they live to discuss in detail, and it is not recommended to find it on Taobao. As I said before, many local travel agencies in Kunming on Taobao are not qualified to operate independently, and there are no cars and tour guides, so they still change hands to earn the difference.
Free travel: only travel agencies need to book hotel tours, with the highest degree of freedom. You can play by yourself during the day and stay in a hotel at night. The advantage is that you can go wherever you want, depending on your financial situation. This kind of tourism is relatively novel and is the development direction of future tourism. Now all kinds of information are very developed. On the one hand, there are various online booking and booking networks, and car rental companies rent cars locally. The price is very affordable, so avoid shopping in stores. You can make your own itinerary in advance and calculate the cost. If the cost is high, you can ask the travel agency of the tourist destination for help. Yunnan Free Travel recommends Lijiang. Inn is the best accommodation in Lijiang. Other hotels are not as interesting as inns. You can book a hotel online. As for the scenic spots, you can go to Lijiang to find an outdoor pure play club to sign up for a tour.
To sum up, after deciding what kind of group you want to join, collect all kinds of information through the internet. There are many merchants watching Yunnan tourism on Taobao. In addition to the above-mentioned 4.8 points and tourist evaluation as the bottom line, Taobao's ranking should also prevail. This is not a sales ranking, but a comprehensive ranking. Sales can be brushed out. For a dozen or twenty products at a time, it is impossible to join the group (enter the store) for a long time except for purely playing the route, because the number of people joining the group for a long time is limited, generally six. It is also possible to buy only one, and the sales volume is also very high. Imagine that travel is at least one-on-one, and there is little chance of traveling alone. I bought one in a row. Where did you get so many solo flights? This can be seen from the transaction records.
In addition, most long-distance lines with shopping stores can be bargained, and others will pay as much as they bid, especially when there are many people in the same group. Also, before you decide to buy travel itinerary, please look at the refund rules of the merchants in advance. The rule that "you can only refund part of the group money if you leave the group a few days in advance" is completely a overlord treaty. In fact, as long as you leave the group one or two days in advance, there will be no loss. Even if you leave the group that day, because the room has been booked that night, the loss is only two or three hundred yuan. The reason why merchants have such regulations is to pursue the maximization of profits. What does a businessman who only pursues profits talk about after-sales service?
Finally, I hope my friends will keep their eyes open, and flaws will always be found. At the same time, I also consult travelers and collect information on the Internet, so that I can avoid detours.
