🧳Travel essentials:
☁️Clothing: The climate in Kunming-Dali-Lijiang in January is unique. Kunming has a large temperature difference between day and night, Dali is sunny and often breezy, and Lijiang has a large temperature difference between morning and evening. Therefore, it is recommended to bring some light down jackets, short sleeves, long pants, windbreakers, and windproof jackets.
👟Shoes and socks: The roads in the ancient city are uneven. Considering the need for walking tours, it is recommended to bring comfortable and durable sports shoes and warm cotton socks.
🕶️Sunscreen: The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are strong, so it is recommended to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat to protect your skin and eyes.
📷Photography equipment: The scenery here is beautiful, so cameras and mobile phones are essential. Don't forget to bring chargers and spare batteries. If possible, bring a tripod, and you will find it very useful!
💊Medicine: Due to the high altitude, altitude sickness may occur. It is recommended to bring some cold medicine, pain relievers, and medicine for joint discomfort. Also, bring some motion sickness medicine to prevent motion sickness during long-distance travel.
💳Documents/cash: ID card and driver's license (if you plan to rent a car) are essential. You can prepare some cash. Although most places accept credit cards, some small vendors only accept cash.
⛑️Others: Bring a small umbrella, which can protect you from light rain and the sun. Also, if you are a book lover, bring a book. Lijiang Ancient City and Erhai Lake in Dali are great places to read.
