It was a worthwhile and wonderful trip. Thanks to Ctrip for arranging it. The free day on the last day was like an extra day of leisure time because our flight was late. The hotel had average reviews online, but I thought the transportation was very convenient. We visited most of the planned attractions. It was a very happy time with the Luo family.
There are lots of performances every day, and it's always fun when I bring friends from other provinces. You just have to immerse yourself in it, hahaha.
Nowadays, many buildings have restaurants (specializing in their respective ethnic groups), which is quite fun. You can enjoy roasted milk fan in the Bai village, and there are Dai-style restaurants in the Dai village. Restaurant prices are generally comparable to those outside the scenic area, so they're very affordable.

The scenery is beautiful. There are three attractions in total. The first one is a hike in the mountains and forests. It is recommended to skip the first one and save your energy for the second and third ones. The second one costs 68 yuan per person. There are little squirrels on the forest trail and they will ask for food. You should prepare some in advance (original flavor). The third one has a wide meadow and lake, where cattle and horses graze leisurely. The scenery is very beautiful.
This is a large national forest park, preserving its original natural environment, vegetation, and even the lake. Because of its size, traveling back and forth between locations can take quite a while. Boat trips, cycling, and hiking are all great options, and good weather can be even more effective.

It's worth the price of admission. There are so many animals to interact with, and while it costs money, it's a lot of fun. Best of all, you can take photos with the tiger cubs and feed the big ones up close.
It feels more fun than the Beijing Wildlife Park, and there are so many more animals. I recommend spending the better part of a day here with your kids!
Note: You can't touch the tiger cubs! You can't touch them!
It's fun. You can get very close to the animals. Each animal is fed and looks very pretty. If you have the chance, you can take the kids there. Although the area is quite large, you can take a sightseeing bus.

The staff at the scenic area are incredibly nice! Whether you're asking for directions, show times, or finding the restroom, they're incredibly helpful and patient. They'll even offer to help the elderly, children, or those carrying luggage. If you drop something or get separated from your family, don't panic—just ask a staff member or go to the service center. They handle things quickly and effectively, making you feel incredibly safe!
It's so worth bringing the kids here! We first went to Dawa Village, where they played with the lambs they'd been longing for, while the adults took the opportunity to take some photos. The coffee there was surprisingly delicious. In the afternoon, we watched "Lijiang Eternal Love." The scenes on stage felt so real, the kids' eyes widened, and the elderly nodded along to the plot. Afterward, we bought some Dongba script pendants for our friends as souvenirs, and the whole family was delighted.

I highly recommend the Jianshui meter-gauge train. Tickets must be booked on Ctrip at midnight three days in advance, and it's best to book a morning train. The train stops longer at noon, allowing time for shopping, dining, and rest. The scenery along the way is stunning, especially for the elderly and children, as you don't have to walk. It's highly recommended.
It was fun, the kids loved it. The parking time was short, and we had to leave before we had enough photos. It was not appropriate for Tuanshan Residence to charge extra. There was nothing fun, we had to park for so long, and there were not enough places to eat, so we ate in a hurry.

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.
The guide was very good! He covered six historical museums in two hours and covered almost all the important cultural relics. Yunnan's historical relics are very interesting. I benefited a lot and will come again next time!

The scenery is beautiful, but there's some traffic. Traffic jams happen because some people think they're smarter than others and skip the line, overtaking from the side lanes and blocking oncoming traffic. I've taken photos of these cars skipping the line and exposing them, hoping to foster public scrutiny and promote social progress. We can't always let those who skip the line take advantage while those with public morals suffer.
This is the location mentioned in Chairman Mao's poem "The Long March." "The Five Ridges wind like gentle waves, the Wumeng Mountains are majestic and majestic, rolling in the mud."
The great man's words are imbued with revolutionary passion. Back in 1935, at a time of national crisis, a group of Red Army troops, filled with revolutionary ideals to transform the world and build a new China, began their journey in the mountains of Jiangxi and Hunan. They were then forced into the Long March by counter-revolutionary encirclement and suppression. Eighty years ago, in today's peaceful times, have become a beautiful sight before our eyes. The hardships endured by the Red Army have become the roads we now face, the natural barriers we face now, and the world has been transformed!
Arriving at the Wumeng Grassland, we'll find farmhouses and hotels along the way, each with its own cattle and sheep slaughterhouse. Herds of cattle and sheep abound, leisurely grazing amidst the blue sky, white clouds, and verdant mountains and clear waters. Here, too, there are groups of horseback riders and herders grazing their cattle. Galloping on horseback through the alpine meadows was such a joy...
The road winds along, filled with seas of clouds, mountains, horses, cattle, sheep, and people unfettered by their own freedom, as well as tents and RVs of all colors.
There are also campsites and people trekking up the canyon. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the people taking photos and checking in admirably embellish the beautiful scenery, a true reflection of the people's yearning and pursuit for a better life!
The road may be long, but the journey will eventually lead to the destination!
We also rode the bus through the rolling hills, letting our eyes take in the scenery and our hearts wander freely. Someone played "To the Clouds," which was perfectly fitting!
Everyone sang and sang, taking in photos and checking in on the Cloud Plank Road. Occasionally, cattle and sheep would approach, unfazed. Many people drove along the mountain roads, but some cars unfortunately got stuck, causing traffic congestion in some sections.
The weather in the mountains is unpredictable. Just one moment, the sky was clear, then suddenly it was overcast. From time to time, clouds would blow in, and then a moment later, a steady rain would fall...
Perhaps this is the beauty and magic of the Wumeng Grassland. It's said that around 4 p.m., the Tyndall effect occurs, where sunlight scatters through clouds. If you're lucky, you might even witness the Buddha's light shining brightly. Due to time constraints, we didn't see it. We continued on our journey, passing through lush green mountains and clear waters, and then walked a long, poorly maintained road before reaching the Beipanjiang Bridge, said to be the world's tallest bridge at 600 meters. This is a great victory for our country's infrastructure, and it's a testament to the fact that mountain dwellers have transformed natural barriers into accessible roads, no longer feeling overwhelmed by the sight of mountains.

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 played for a whole day and had a very good experience. The weather was not hot, there were not many people, the queue was fast, the food inside was not expensive and tasted very good, I will come again in the future

I went on August 13th and waited in line for the cable car for an hour and a half. It was unbearable 😣...
I bought my ticket on Ctrip. Remember, I must go to the cable car ticket window to get my paper ticket before lining up!!!
On a sunny day, the cable car offers a stunning view of Erhai Lake in Dali. There's a very high section, so those afraid of heights should keep their eyes closed.
The one-way trip takes about 15 minutes.
Cangshan Mountain in Dali is so beautiful! The Gantong Cableway is great value for money. Along the way, you can see the Cangshan pine forest and overlook Erhai Lake. It's spectacular! The squirrels on Cangshan Mountain are so fat and love to eat potato chips 😁

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.
It is worthwhile to take a small train tour of the Taiping Lake Ecological Park in Mile. You can get off the train at each stop to take photos and enjoy the scenery. The park is very large, and I recommend the small train.
