Because I brought the baby out late, I didn’t go there, I only went to Ya Niuping, but the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is really beautiful. I feel beautiful before I enter the scenic spot and close to the scenic spot. It is the kind of scenic spot I want to go to. The scenery inside is very spectacular. Atmosphere, the mountains and mountains of the motherland are really beautiful.
The weather in Lijiang is unpredictable. When booking the ticket, I looked at the weather forecast and said it was sunny. As a result, I couldn't see anything at the top of the mountain. It was still snowing. Other attractions were basically strolling in the snow, which was also a kind of enjoyment.

The stone forest is very beautiful, you must do a battery car, the inside is too big, if you go, you have to go shopping and break your legs. It’s not enough to visit for a day, it’s beautiful everywhere, blue sky, white clouds and green trees. There are too many people.
There are too many people, looking at the stone from a distance, looking at the big stone from a distance... You must strengthen the queue management of battery cars in the scenic area. So many people are crowded together, there is no queue at all, and there is a railing in line when it is almost time to get there! On such a hot day, there is no fan, and the elderly who are crowded together will suffocate! The battery car is not enough, it is not enough!

The Dianchi Xishan Cableway is very beautiful. I like it very much. It is worth the 100 yuan round trip. Especially the section on Dianchi Lake feels like a cable car on the sea. The breeze is very pleasant. It will be a wonderful memory to have been to Kunming and Dianchi Lake. This spring city is a place I yearn for. There are not many attractions in Kunming. The cable car of Dianchi Lake can be the first choice.
I thought the ticket was a bit expensive when I bought it, but when you get on the cable car and look at Dianchi Lake at your feet, you won't think it's expensive anymore. The ticket price is very worthwhile. After passing the Dianchi Lake part, the part up the mountain is also beautiful. I think the ticket is worth the price.

Tickets are a bit expensive, the scenic spot is quite big, it is recommended to take an electric car with the elderly and children, the memorial inside can see people in tears, the coffee in the memorial is super delicious! ! !
I saw the video in Douyin and finally traveled happily with my friends. The scenery is unique, the seal shop and kaleidoscope red brick design architecture are very eye-catching, and it is beautiful to take pictures. Worth going, very creative design.

Too big, small train 30, individual car 60, the scenic spot does not give tips, each stockade is general, the legs are scrapped, but I have not played 😧 It is particularly fun, I will not come next time.
The garden is very large. You can pay attention to the public account in advance to understand the performance time of each tribe and feel the ethnic style. If you have not been to Yunnan, it is still worth recommending. It will be recommended to walk for a long time to make a small train in the park.

Wuhu, great, but unfortunately the time I went is that the sky is not beautiful, I can't photograph the feeling of the city of the sky, the lake is very clear, and I have seen water-based poplar plants. I heard that there are a lot of floating on the water on a sunny day, which is very beautiful.
Wuhu is still worth playing. The ticket for 70 yuan per person to drive here is naturally beautiful. But for a large scenic spot, the service is equivalent to 0. The first toilet is not much, the second traffic is inconvenient, and the third tourist's hiking trail is seriously insufficient, resulting in no chartered car, there is almost no way to visit the entire scenic spot, so the cost is far more than the ticket money.

The director sister is very patient and gentle. The arrangement is very careful. This trip is very happy. The scenery is very beautiful. The small group is very convenient. It will not let the time arrangement of buying specialties can be discussed. It is recommended! !
Wucang Mountain is not very reasonable, Cangshan is still very beautiful, more suitable for parent-child play, taking the ropeway is not very tired, the steps up the mountain are a little difficult to walk, the other side is very good to go down the mountain, the queue took about half an hour, not too long.

It is a place worth visiting! The three pagodas are well preserved, the Chongsheng Temple is solemn and majestic, the garden environment is good, and there are no crowds even in summer vacation. If you want to save some energy, you can buy a battery car ticket after entering the gate and take the mountain. After visiting the Bodhisattva Halls in turn, you can go down the mountain and visit along the steps.
It is definitely worth a visit. It is not far from the ancient city of Dali. I took my child on a motorcycle from the ancient city. Although climbing the towers is not allowed in order to protect the three towers, it is still very shocking to see the 🕍 from different angles in the Tang and Song dynasties from below. I admire the wisdom of the ancients!

Compared with Yangshuo's ancient love, I feel that Lijiang is very boring, the plot is not coherent, a little inexplicable feeling, and I will not be impressed after watching it (Yangshuo's 7 years of watching, but also impressed)
One of the best performances/show I've seen. The artists are all professional dancers and the stunts they did were amazing! Stage effects and choreography was also top tier, even Broadway is limited. It was truly a 4D experience. On a side note the story is a bit mature. It was about romancing, love, and couples that meet different kinds of tragedy. There were sexual innuendos too (though artistically and theatrically done, it is obvious for adults). Still, there are a lot of kids in the audience and overall it was a performance all age group and sex can enjoy. Do note if such a subject theme makes you uncomfortable.
