Kunming | Surrounding Tour to Huize Da Haicao

Take advantage of the grass not yet yellow, following the pace of autumn Get up early in the morning, and have a day trip with friends It takes about 3-4 hours to reach the destination from the center of Kunming The road conditions are very good throughout Especially after getting off the highway, the road up the mountain is absolutely beautiful In early September, it was a bit cold wearing a skirt and a jacket, friends who go later are suggested to wear more❤️ It's worth going, more surprising than I imagined

There is a mountain named Da Hai, it's so beautiful here~ (One-day tour of Da Hai Grass Mountain)

It takes about 3 hours to get to Da Hai Grass Mountain from Kunming, and the scenery along the way is also very beautiful. Address: Da Hai Grass Mountain, Huize County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province. Transportation: After landing in Kunming by plane, I recommend driving or chartering to Da Hai Grass Mountain (We chartered a guide to go there, the guide was very good, introducing us at any time, arranging us to check in, if your driving skills are not good, do not drive, the road is hard to drive). Clothing Suggestions: It's very cold on the mountain, it's recommended to bring a windproof jacket, it will be better when the sun comes out, if you don't bring a jacket, you can rent one at the entrance of the scenic spot. Check-in Spots: Spot One: Internet celebrity check-in spot, Spot Two: Mongolian yurts and streams (These two places are must-check-in, but the mountain is really beautiful, it's easy to take good photos, there are also many sheep). Food: There are lamb skewers for sale on the mountain, very fresh, 3 yuan a skewer, roasted sweet potatoes are also delicious, if you don't like beef and mutton, you can bring some food. Accommodation: We went there and back on the same day, there is accommodation on the mountain, but it's super cold at night on the mountain, if you stay, be sure to prepare clothes, it's recommended to go there and back on the same day. This place is very niche, it's indeed inconvenient to go there, but it's really healing, take action during the National Day, if you don't go, the grass on the grass mountain will turn yellow.

Let's go to the mountains for the weekend

The wind blows the grass low and reveals the cattle and sheep This scenery is really too beautiful⛰️ > 📍Dahai Grass Mountain We drove from Chongqing for 7h to Huize We stayed in the county town for one night and drove up the mountain the next morning It takes about 1h from the county town to the scenic area > 📷Tour Private cars🚗 are parked in the parking lot You need to take a bus to enter the scenic area Scenic area ticket + sightseeing bus🎫55/person There are two stops along the way ✨Overlooking the grassland and lake 🛖Grassland, stream, flock of sheep There are also grilled lamb skewers, baked potatoes and sweet potatoes...

The beauty of Nian Lake

Nian Lake is a major attraction in Huize County and a signature attraction in Qujing City. It is a place to admire the elegant black-necked cranes, sunrise over the sea of clouds, mountain villages, and the lake and mountain scenery. The black-necked cranes only migrate from the north in winter. We arrived here at noon, so of course we couldn't watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds, but the lake and mountain scenery, blue sky and white clouds, and sparkling clear water were very beautiful. The high blue sky was dotted with white clouds, ripples spread across the pool of broken blue, the distant layers of mountains presented a dark green, the willows on the shore were lush, and unknown water birds were playing in the nearshore aquatic plants. Even though it was not the best season or time to come to Nian Lake, it left a deep impression on me.

In the morning, the lake is most beautiful and the most beautiful, the clouds are haunting, the mountains are looming in the clouds, and the breath that is walking in the middle is the breath of autumn, and the beauty is so tearful. Whether the lake is still a village or a mountain, it is covered with layers of mist, and the ink-and-dark paintings are plunged into the eye, and a quiet natural picture is displayed in front of you. There is a word called no name, and there is a word called stunned. When I saw the reading of the lake, I think it would be more appropriate to use these two words. All the beauty in the world is not as good as Walk quietly on the shore of the lake.

Some people say that the lake on the mountain is a tear lying on the surface of the earth. The tears on the pillow are the lakes hanging in your heart. Every September 9th, the Himalayan cold wind passes through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a group of black The neck crane flew back to Yunnan with thoughts, and it was thousands of miles away. It was not afraid of hunger and cold. It flew over thousands of mountains and waters. It came to the Haizi of Huize County, Yunnan Province, and spent a long winter in this sea. It is expected to fly back to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the spring of next year. They met in the migratory flight, knew and played in this picturesque lake, and agreed to fly back to the lake in the coming year, but he soon left because of the fatigue and injury of the journey. Losing her partner, she passed the lonely winter with her infinite thoughts. When the spring came, the cranes flew back to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but she chose to stay here because of her choices. However, in the end, the lonely crane left behind, the lovesickness fell, and people moved. In the black neck crane's loyalty to love, this lake of thoughts is called "Nianhu". Groups of black-necked cranes, bar-headed geese, and kenaf ducks play crisp morning songs, lined up in formations and go out for food. These spiritual elves are free to soar in the sky, the gentleness of the bow, The rhythm of countless shutters, the shyness of the moment, the most beautiful axis of the sky.

I came from afar, just for the appointment on your side. In front of the magnificent nature, we are so small and make the most sincere wish. The misty clouds are like a magical magician, which can be seen by the naked eye. One mountain, one water, one grass and one wood illusion is in front of our eyes, it is dizzying, and imagination. faded the lush summer season, the autumn grassland color is more full, far-sighted, golden under the sky, pick up the camera, will freeze the picture in the lens, become the scenery that never fades in the heart. In this space, forget everything in the world. The so-called jealousy, trouble, and humanity... stop at this moment, stop, give the soul a rest time, do nothing, just breathe the green of nature. The fragrance of the flowers, bathed in the lakes and mountains, intoxicated. quiet, peaceful, wonderful, blue, sacred, here is everything you imagine, and everything else you imagine.

A paradise not far from Kunming

Consider visiting Huize County in Yunnan during holidays when it's too crowded. Reasons for recommendation: 🚗 It's a little over two hours' drive from Kunming, unfortunately, there is no high-speed train. 🏩 Hotel prices only rise from the original 270 to 350 during holidays. 🏯 Huize Ancient Town is much larger than expected, great for exploring, and there are many old buildings worth visiting in Huize County. 🥩 Huize is famous for its black goat meat, which is exactly why I came. In the city, someone recommended 'Yang Ba Wan'. I went to the Fatty Goat Restaurant, a down-to-earth place where I had a very satisfying meal. The local potatoes are also famous. Not far from the entrance of the Dashai Grass Mountain scenic area, there are some grilled mutton stalls with good quality meat; if you prefer a lighter taste, ask them to use less seasoning. There are also many mutton stalls inside the scenic area, but they might serve sheep instead. The black goat with skin I had outside the scenic area was pretty good. ⛰️ Nearby Dashai Grass Mountain, the ticket is 35, and the shuttle bus is 20, although there are only two stops inside, the high mountain meadows make you feel as if you've arrived at the Ili grasslands. The key is that you can see it all for only 55 yuan, which is a bargain. The altitude is 3650, so be aware of altitude sickness. ⛩️ Baiwu Village is a quiet and peaceful little village, and I was lucky enough to catch the sunset clouds. I really wanted to stay a few more days.

Huize Ancient City

The Huize Ancient City, most of which are buildings left from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, has grand guild halls, temples, and mansions, as well as many stone and earth buildings. Various precious cultural relics, ancient buildings, urban layout and blocks are relatively well preserved. After professional restoration, it has a strong sense of history. The old streets of the ancient city are relatively narrow, without too much noise and commercialization, and have a vicissitudes of ancient charm. Walking in it, there is a feeling of time travel.

Qujing Roaming

The rice fields and ancient opera stage of Baiwu Village are really underrated😜! In Huize, Qujing, Yunnan🤩, there is a lesser-known travel destination, only 25 kilometers away from Huize Ancient Town🚗, and it takes just one hour to drive there🤗! The summer and autumn seasons in Baiwu Village are very beautiful🤩, and you don't have to go to Dali to smell the fragrance of rice🌾🌾~ This place is truly a land of outstanding people and splendid culture, where the prosperity of ancient times can still be vaguely seen👀. The buildings in Baiwu Village are mainly arranged vertically or parallel to the streets🎪. The ancient Baiwu opera stage is located at the center of the traditional village🤴, which is the heart of the village🎭. Baiwu Village was a military and commercial post station during the Western Han Dynasty🛣, and with the development of the Tong mine in Dongchuan Prefecture during the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the village's economy flourished and its culture thrived🎉, making it a major commercial town in the western part of Huize🎯, and a major station for the transportation of copper from the south to the north and the main supply site for copper materials for coinage during the Ming and Qing dynasties🧐, earning it the reputation of 'the first station of the thousand-mile capital transport'👍. After roaming the Dali-style rice fields🏞, you can also visit the old street to see the ancient temples🛕 and opera stage🎶, and by the way, have a bowl of pea powder and Zhua Zhua powder at an old brand restaurant🥣, which in Qujing dialect is said to be 'pea powder is very hard zou'😝. Time moves slowly here🕰, and it's not very commercialized. This is the real Yunnan rhythm🎵!

Luoping at sunset

Headed up the hill to find the patterns in the canola flowers at sunset. Just a couple of hours away from Kunming, Luoping blooms into a sea of yellow flowers for about 4-to-6 weeks every year. Worth checking with the local hotels before getting tickets though about when because if you miss the time - there isn’t really much to do. #tripblazers #awesomepic #passionpassport

Luoping flowers

A year after the last trip to the same place - albeit during the completely wrong season- headed back to Luoping to make up for lost time.. and it didn’t disappoint. The whole town is a sea of yellow canola flowers on all sides. The town is a little bare of great hotels or restaurants it seems but based o Lon how much the area has changed in the last year or so, I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes soon. #tripblazers

Documenting the beautiful scenery of the rapeseed flowers in Luoping

Luoping's rapeseed flowers, I really love the scenery here so much, because tens of thousands of acres of rapeseed flowers are competing to bloom in the Luoping basin. As far as the eye can see, it's a sea of golden yellow. The view is truly indescribable with just the word 'spectacular', it's beauty to the extreme! Even a camera can't capture one-tenth of the actual scenery's beauty.
