Just go without looking back or rushing, averaging two to three hours of driving each day, and we had a great time~ Here is the detailed itinerary to share with everyone~✌️ The 1⃣️st stop Kunming➡️Luoping A sea of canola flowers, a sight too beautiful to describe Accommodation recommendation: Shizong county town (During the canola flower season, hotels in Luoping county are ridiculously expensive, so we chose a nice and affordable hotel in the neighboring county, which is a 40-minute drive from the Luoping Jindie Peaks scenic area, with fewer people and cheaper hotels, very comfortable) The 2⃣️nd stop Luoping➡️Mile Visit scenic spots and soak in hot springs ♨️Experience the charm of a small health and wellness town Accommodation recommendation: Mile city area (Any hotel near the lake and springs is good, most of them have their own hot spring pools) The 3⃣️rd stop Mile➡️Gejiu Experience the atmosphere of the '70s and '80s Little Hong Kong, full of nostalgia Accommodation recommendation: There are many hotels in Gejiu city area, try to choose a newly renovated economy chain type, both hardware and services are good~👍🏽 The 4⃣️th stop Gejiu➡️Yuanyang Witness the sunrise and sunset over 170,000 acres of Hani terraced fields, so beautiful and stunning~ Accommodation recommendation: Homestays near the Duoyishu viewing platform (Very convenient to get up early the next day to see the sunrise) The 5⃣️th stop Yuanyang➡️Jianshui A cultural ancient city with a strong sense of life, delicious and fun to explore~ The narrow-gauge train has a lot of charm, but it's a bit pricey, not recommended for self-driving trips, the sunset at Shuanglong Bridge is really too beautiful, never tiresome to watch~ Accommodation recommendation: Chain hotels or newly renovated homestays within the ancient city🏨 The 6⃣️th stop Jianshui➡️Shiping➡️Fuxian Lake Shiping ancient city - almost no tourists, local food is very delicious Fuxian Lake - the sea in the hearts of Yunnan people, the sunset over the lake is very fairy-like and beautiful~ Accommodation recommendation: Fuxian Lake Xiaowan village homestay (This season there are fewer people, the homestay prices are reasonable and the service is enthusiastic)🏨 ⚠️⚠️The canola flowers in Luoping are off the market, but in September there is the sunflower festival, and you can also take a detour to Puzhehei and Bamei, a very nice Southeast Yunnan self-drive tour loop~ Definitely worth taking a trip❗️❗️

I haven't actually gone abroad, I've just been to the only pink sand beach in China

Perhaps you've seen the silvery white, delicate sand beaches of Wuzhizhou Island in Sanya, or the ten-mile golden sands of the Bohai Coast, but have you ever seen a pink sand beach? It's like the most enticing shade of pink on a girl's cheeks when she's shy, or like the petals of peach blossoms in spring, scattered along the shore, tinting the entire lake red. This unique pink sand beach in China is right here in Yunnan! I've heard a saying that the people of Yunnan gave Lugu Lake to the world, but kept Fuxian Lake for themselves. The beauty of Fuxian Lake is a treasure belonging only to the people of Yunnan, and apart from the azure expanse of crystal-clear blue, there lies a romantic pink sand beach. The red sand beach is located at Hongshanhou on the west bank of Fuxian Lake. It's just over a ten-minute drive from the city center. Under the azure sky, the lake surface sparkles, and the intoxicating red sand beach, together with the colorful metasequoia forest, reflects each other, full of infinite ancient poetic charm, forming a beautiful picture scroll. Strolling on the red sand beach, with feet stepping on the soft, cotton-like sand, facing the clear and blue lake water, and listening to the lapping sounds of the lake... A gentle breeze comes, as if any worries could be blown away... From an aerial view, under the azure sky, the lake surface sparkles, and the intoxicating red sand beach, together with the colorful metasequoia forest, reflects each other, forming a beautiful picture scroll. Do you think this perfectly pink sand is man-made? The local villagers say that the land has always been red since people started living here, spreading to the edge of Fuxian Lake, turning the entire beach pink. If the pink sands of the Bahamas come from foraminifera, then perhaps the pink sands of Fuxian Lake are created by mixing crushed peach blossoms into them, creating a fairy tale. Walking on the soft fine sand, feeling the warm spring breeze, the lake water lifts wave upon wave, and the whole Fuxian Lake seems to have turned sweet, becoming a bubbling carbonated orange soda, exuding a sweet fragrance. Upon closer inspection, the sand is reddish-brown, with small seashells washed up by the waves mixed in. When you grab a handful, the sand is fine and soft, just like a girl's rouge. If you happen to grab a handful, the sand is fine and soft, just like a girl's rouge, and if you brought aerial photography tools, congratulations, you've found the most beautiful way to experience this beach. You will see what is the most wonderful and harmonious color fusion of nature, and you can only sigh and say 'How beautiful!'

The beauty of Fuxian Lake by the Lucong scenic area

386 years ago, from May to July 1638, China's first adventurer in 'Xu Xiake's Travel Notes' praised Fuxian Lake in his 'Diary of a Trip to Yunnan': 'The Dian mountains are mostly made of soil, hence many streams are dammed to form lakes, but the waters are mostly muddy, only Fuxian Lake is the clearest.' Fuxian Lake is located between Chengjiang, Jiangchuan, and Huaning in Yuxi City, with a surface area of 212 square kilometers, second only to Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake; the deepest point of the lake is 155 meters, with a storage capacity of 18.5 billion cubic meters, which is four times the total storage capacity of Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake. Fuxian Lake is known as the 'Pearl of the Plateau' and a summer retreat, with clear and transparent waters, and a vast expanse of glittering waves. At the beginning of April, we participated in a health and wellness tour of Fuxian Lake and stayed at the 'Xingsheng Hotel' opposite the entrance to the Lucong scenic area of Fuxian Lake. The specialty dishes of Fuxian Lake are copper pot fish, stone pot fish, and copper pot potato rice. The Lucong scenic area is located on the west side of Fuxian Lake and is the only 4A scenic area of the lake; the ticket price is 15 yuan, half price for those aged 60-69, and free for those over 70; after registering at the main gate, the ticket allows multiple entries into the scenic area within a week. This place was originally the Lucong fishing village, nestled between mountains and facing the lake, with steep cliffs on Bijia Mountain, and attractions such as Lingshen Pavilion, Guanyin Temple, and Yuyan Pavilion on the mountain, as well as Golden Sand Beach, Breathe Bay, and Banyan Tree Bay by the lake, shaded by ancient trees, and also features fish caves and the remains of car water fishing; seven o'clock in the morning is the perfect time to watch the sunrise.

The beauty of Fuxian Lake is inseparable from the clear lake water of Fuxian Lake. As early as the end of the Ming Dynasty, the traveler Xu Xiake in his "Xu Xiake Travel Notes" has "the only mountain in the mountains, so many flows into the sea, and the flow is more Turbid, but Fuxian Lake is the clearest." Fuxian Lake, the lake crystal clear and crystal clear, the ancients called "glazed million", located in Yujiang City, Chengjiang County, Jiangchuan District, Huaning County, Hubei, 52 kilometers from Kunming, is the province's important leisure, tourism , holiday destination. Fuxian Lake is China's largest water storage lake, the largest plateau deep water lake, and the second deep freshwater lake. Since Li Jian wrote Fuxian Lake into the song, Fuxian Lake has become a place of literary youth.

Fuxian Lake in Yunnan | Romantic people have their own utopia

"The mountains in Yunnan are rich in soil, hence many rivers are dammed to form lakes🌊, and among these, the waters are mostly turbid, only Fuxian Lake is the clearest"—Fuxian Lake, as described by Xu Xiake, is indeed the lake of my dreams! The water here is crystal clear to the bottom, and the gradient colors of the lake water are rich in layers, so beautiful it's almost criminal.

Yunnan's deep lake, second only to Lugu Lake

China's County-level City Tourism Rankings 71: Chengjiang City, Yuxi, Yunnan Province Chengjiang City, a county-level city directly governed by Yunnan Province and managed by Yuxi City, has a history of nearly two thousand years and is historically known for its reputation 'The literary style does not concede to the Central Plains, and the folk customs remain as ancient and pure.' Fuxian Lake within its territory is the second deepest inland freshwater lake in China. Notable figures include the famous Three Kingdoms general Li Hui, who was the first person from Yunnan to be recorded in the national history. Chengjiang has been selected as China (Yunnan)'s Most Investment-worthy Cultural Tourism County, China's Famous Summer Resort County of 2020, and one of the Top 100 Counties with Tourism Development Potential in 2021. Chengjiang's tourism resources are not abundant, mainly concentrated around Fuxian Lake and the Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum, but both are national-level tourism resources. Just based on these two alone, it's worth 50 points, ranking 10th among the 71 counties and cities that have appeared so far, and should even be stronger than the well-known tourist county of Wuyuan (49 points). If we were to classify the tourism resources of nearly 3000 counties and cities in China into super first-class, first-class, second-class, third-class, and non-class, then Chengjiang should be ranked as second-class, that is, within the top 200 of national tourism resources. Let's specifically assess these two tourism resources. 1: Fuxian Lake: 4A scenic area, recommendation index: 5 stars, travel time: 2 days and 1 night Although it is only 4A, it definitely has the resources of a 5A scenic area. Even within China, it is a first-class lake. Fuxian Lake is divided into the east and west lines, and even if you drive yourself, it would take two days to visit all the attractions. Additionally, Fuxian Lake is easily accessible, very backpacker-friendly, with direct bus routes to both lines. In terms of natural scenery, it absolutely surpasses the West Lake, which is praised by all literati. It can only be said that Fuxian Lake is underestimated. Among the many attractions of Fuxian Lake, the Sunshine Coast on the east line, the Luchong Scenic Area, the Red Sand Beach, and on the west line, the Moon Bay Wetland Park, and the Beach Park (also known as the Sailing Base) are must-visits. Others can be chosen based on the length of the trip. Fuxian Lake is a place where even a special forces-style tour would need 2 days and 1 night, and a slow tour of a week would not be too much. 2: Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum: 4A scenic area, free admission, recommendation index: 5A, suggested time: half a day (over 3 hours) This is another national-level tourism resource bestowed by the heavens after Fuxian Lake. It has won the World Natural Heritage Museum and the 'Top Ten Museum Exhibition Excellence Awards' in 2021, hailed as 'one of the rarest finds in the history of modern paleontology research,' 'one of the 20 most astonishing discoveries in the world,' and the 'golden key to revealing the mystery of the Cambrian 'explosion of life'.' A trip to Chengjiang would be in vain without visiting Fuxian Lake and this museum. Overall, although Chengjiang is not well-known nationally, its tourism resources are completely underestimated. Although it is difficult to rank among the top 100 counties for tourism resources, it can definitely rank between 100 to 200, which is an existence that can defeat 95% of the counties and cities in China. It is also a must-visit place when traveling to Yunnan. Don't just focus on Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna, and Tengchong when traveling to Yunnan; include Chengjiang in your Yunnan travel plan.

The museum's hall has a huge fossil site, and the museum also collects more than 60,000 rare paleontological fossil specimens and extant animal specimens from around the world; 2、 The museum takes the "big explosion of life, big evolution of life, biodiversity" as the main line, showing the Chengjiang biota and precious paleontological fossils and extant animal specimens collected from all over the world, and interpreting the Cambrian explosion of life and the evolution of life on earth from multiple angles and levels; 3、 The Cambrian explosion of life can be seen as an "origin point" of today's animal diversity. Taking vertebrates as an example, in the Chengjiang Fossil Museum, you can find one of the oldest vertebrates: a small fish "Kunming fish" about 3 cm long, this fossil is also known as the treasure of the town hall. ❤Recommended reason: It's not an exaggeration to say: Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum is a seriously underestimated place, if it weren't for a friend's suggestion, I really wouldn't think of going! Before I came, I thought this place was more suitable for bringing children to play, but after I came, I was really amazed, those tens of thousands of years ago biological fossils are just in front of my eyes! 👍Most recommended: In the long river of time, what do those small setbacks we encounter in life count? This is probably the precious significance of going to a billion-year appointment!
