We arrived at the scenic spot at 10 am and finished the tour of the east and west areas at around 4 pm. The journey was moderate and we were able to see a variety of rainforest plants. The tour guide was very serious in his explanation and was very enthusiastic in helping us take photos along the way. I learned a lot! It is recommended to bring an umbrella and a water bottle with you, as there will be alternating sunshine and showers at any time (big snails will appear after the rain).
This time I came to Xishuangbanna, I had been thinking about going to the Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It did not disappoint me. There are many kinds of plants and the scenery is beautiful. It is definitely worth visiting.

Our guide, Mu Layou, was fantastic! He took us on a whirlwind of fun, including eating wild fruits and sour ants. He was incredibly strong, lifting us high and pushing us back down on the swings each time. It was incredibly thrilling. Afterward, he immediately arranged for us to eat. The barbecue, chicken, and fish were all delicious. It was a truly special experience!
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and discover nature on a hike in the Jinuo Mountain rainforest.
The total distance is 5 kilometers, 2 kilometers by land and 3 kilometers by water.
Along the way, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the rainforest's flora, fauna, environment, and ways of life.
Dressed in a "savage costume," we experienced rainforest river tracing, high-altitude swings, tree abseiling, archery, and a rainforest feast, including sour ants and wild Sanya fruit (Banna's version of mangosteen).
For families with young children (under 10 years old), we recommend booking a private tour with an experienced indigenous guide, who can provide one-on-one support for the children.

I really enjoyed coming here with my mom and husband. We were able to see the animals up close while still feeling safe, which was amazing! I was a bit disappointed with the panda area, as it wasn't as engaging as I had hoped, but overall it was still a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t mind coming back again next time. Highly recommended!

At Pu'er Sun River Forest Park, the air is sweet, and every step is like stepping into the breath of the rainforest. The ultimate surprise was encountering the forest spirits—red pandas! The close interaction and the touch of their furry fur melted my heart. Strolling along the forest path, rhinos wallowed in the mud, gibbons leaped through the trees... Feel the primal pulse of life.
The staff were excellent, with dedicated guides for each animal area. You could get up close and personal with the red pandas. The forest environment was beautiful, the air was fresh, and the path was easy to walk on. However, there were many steps, so wear sneakers.

The hotel is in a great location, right next to Nanhu Park and a 10-minute walk from Southwest Associated University and Pioneer Bookstore. I happened to catch the weekly Haibianzhai market, which takes place every Sunday. The dazzling array of products, the diverse ethnic groups gathered together, and the vibrant ethnic costumes were truly eye-opening. It was well worth the trip. The hotel's breakfast was also excellent, and they even gave me a 40-yuan voucher for cross-bridge rice noodles. I had two of them in a row, and they were delicious!
I rushed to buy Sunday tickets early Wednesday morning. They said tickets would be released at midnight, but it took a minute or two after midnight for them to be available. I recommend that older children purchase seats, even at half price, because the carriages are incredibly crowded. The free time at each attraction is quite ample, but restrooms can be a challenge. Girls, in particular, had to wait in line for a long time.
The only additional charge is the return shuttle bus fare to Tuanshan Mingju, or you can hike down the mountain. It's not expensive, only three yuan per person. Overall, the experience was good, but it wasn't as clean and inviting as advertised. It was quite crowded, and there were a lot of people smoking at the station.

I was on a business trip to Kunming and had a short half-day break. I took a quick tour of the Yunnan Provincial Museum and felt the historical changes in Yunnan that were different from those in the Central Plains. After closing, I went to the nearby Guandu Ancient Town to eat tofu rice noodles and snacks. Then I rode a shared electric bike to the Haidong Wetland for a walk to digest the food. I encountered a stunning sunset and sunset glow. It was a perfect half-day.
The best place to get to know a local is through a museum. Yunbo Museum is right next to Guandu Ancient Town. We went in the morning and it was quite crowded. Our tour guide said it was even more crowded in the afternoon, probably because many people visit Yunbo Museum before heading to Guandu Ancient Town.

Surrounded by verdant mountains, picturesque countryside, swaying emerald bamboo, and crystal-clear waters, Equan is home to a swarm of fish and shrimp. Here, you can admire the picturesque rural beauty of Zhuang culture and experience the charm of the wild mountains.
Equan's waters are crystal clear, like a giant emerald, warm and limpid. The sand, rocks, and aquatic plants on the bottom are clearly visible, and fish and shrimp swim freely among them, with occasional ripples reflecting their playful play. The waters are as green as emerald and as smooth as a mirror, shimmering in the sunlight.
The area surrounding Equan is characterized by typical karst landforms and rural scenery. In the distance, towering peaks and rolling hills appear and disappear in the mist. Nearby, fields stretch across the landscape, lush in spring and summer, and golden in autumn. This landscape has earned it the nickname "Guilin on the Water."
A very unexpected scenic spot with beautiful mountains and clear water! I thought it would be just like that, but it turned out to be such a great place! Booking with Ctrip was very convenient! I came here after playing in Tongling Grand Canyon, which is very close!

Nighttime tickets are cheaper, but wait times are shorter than during the day, allowing for a wider range of attractions, and the Torch Festival is also lively. The park's design reflects strong ethnic characteristics and cultural heritage. Objectively speaking, annual passes are relatively inexpensive, and for families traveling with children, you can rent very affordable B&Bs (over 1,000 yuan per month, or under 100 yuan per day), perfect for both study and leisure activities. However, the planned location fails to fully leverage the unique character of Dianchi Lake. Due to its locational constraints, its food, living facilities, and transportation are inferior to those of the main urban area. For example, the local economy (Jinning District) may be problematic. The road between the main urban area and the park is unlit early in the evening, and the road is uneven in some areas.
Adults can bring their children to play, and both adults and children will have a lot of fun. It is impossible to play here in one day. The food inside is relatively expensive, so it is best to bring some food with you. Some areas may be slightly cheaper, but generally it is more expensive than outside. Don't buy raincoats outside, as the water activities inside are all free. When I left, I took a picture of the beautiful sunset, which was very photogenic. It's a pity that I didn't get to play many activities with my baby, but the older children didn't want to leave after having so much fun.

I didn't have high hopes before coming here, but after entering, I found that the scenery was super beautiful, suitable for checking in and taking photos. There are also many service items inside. The park is very large, and you can really spend a whole day there. The ticket price is standard and the price-performance ratio is okay. Maybe the park is relatively large, and some things are still not up to par and need to be improved. Some projects will be suspended due to weather conditions, and the ticket inspectors at the door will explain this in advance.
The park is very large, so you absolutely must buy a shuttle bus package, or you'll be left wondering how to get there. Some children recommend buying a 10-choose-4 package, as individual rides are very expensive. Popular rides, like the Rubber Duck, require a queue. The rafting is a bit pricey, and the automatic photography service is quite expensive, with only average results. The park is lush with vegetation, and the flowers and plants are in excellent condition. The air is fresh, and it's pleasant to find a shady spot to sit and enjoy the scenery.

Cuihu Park is located in the main city of Kunming. The park has beautiful scenery, lush vegetation and shaded trees. In winter, you can see groups of seagulls flying freely in the sky. This is a scene of the park. Of course, the surrounding traffic is also very convenient. Accommodation and eating are also more convenient, you must come to visit Cuihu Park.
Cuihu Park is located in the main city of Kunming. The scenery is very beautiful. The air quality in the park is excellent. It is suitable for traveling for family and children. You can take your children to visit on weekends. The surrounding accommodation is also very cost-effective. The transportation for eating is also very convenient. It is one of the parks that must go to Kunming to punch in. Make sure you don't regret coming.
