Day 1: Fly into **Guiyang Longdongbao Airport**, take the high-speed train to **Liupanshui Station** (about 1.5 hours), check in at 【Zhongshan District Liangdu Impression Hotel】 or Yeyuhai Boutique Homestay (800 RMB/night × 2 = 1600 RMB).

In the afternoon, climb 【Yushe Snow Mountain Ski Resort】 (grass skiing available in summer, 80 RMB)—a rare highland grassland experience in southern China. Stay at the original homestay, and for dinner try Yi-style hearth chicken and buckwheat cakes.

Day 3: Explore 【Wumeng Grassland】 (entrance fee 70 RMB)—at 2800 meters altitude, see vast meadows, windmill fields, and the sea of clouds sunrise; you can also try horseback riding (50 RMB/lap) or camping. Before returning, shop for souvenirs in the city: Jiangji iced barley mix, Panxian ham, dried Rosa roxburghii, and Yi embroidery.

💰Budget breakdown:
Transportation 2000 (round-trip airfare + high-speed train + taxi) + Accommodation 1600 + Food 1000 + Attractions and activities about 300 + Shopping reserve 700 ≈ **5600 RMB**

📌Tips:
- Liupanshui’s summer average temperature is 19°C, known as “China’s Cool Capital,” perfect for summer retreats;
