Kunming city day → Shilin excursion → Dianchi lakeside day. Both excursions return to Kunming, keeping the overnight base consistent.
Stay within Kunming on arrival and settle into the hotel before choosing a short city walk. This is a Kunming-based reference, not a compressed Dali and Lijiang circuit.
Suggested overnight area: Kunming
Keep Shilin as a separate outing and agree transport and walking needs. Do not place a hotel move to another distant city on the same day by default.
Suggested overnight area: Kunming
Choose a Dianchi lakeside stop only if it fits the departure journey. Prioritise luggage pickup and the correct airport or station over an extra scenic stop.
Suggested overnight area: Route ends; accommodation by onward plans
