Things to do in Yao'an

Guanglu Ancient Town in Yao'an is a scenic spot in the county and a must-visit place when visiting Yao'an. It has a sense of age and you can go and experience it. As a county, it is not appropriate to have this culture.

A breathtaking experience at 4680m with comfort. The exact time of your visit is determined randomly, keep your plans for the day flexible. Pay attention to what is written in the details: add the company's WeChat account and receive instructions about the visit time and other details. The package includes a free meal at a buffet near the lower station, oxygen and a warm coat (no hat or warm trousers or gloves, though). The experience was smooth despite the popularity of the mountain and the crowd, thanks to the incredible crowd management. The whole round trip from the visitor center and back took around 2.5 hours and left enough time to see the Impression Lijiang show conveniently located just near the visitor center. The views at the mountain are stunning and are absolutely worth it.

Standing on the lakeshore, one can see a breathtaking panorama of clear water, blue sky, and soaring birds, all blending seamlessly into a harmonious scene that soothes and calms the soul. Every autumn and winter, the arrival of red-billed gulls from across the mountains and seas creates a unique and romantic spectacle at Dianchi Lake. There's no need to chase after the scenery; simply stroll along the lakeside, watch the gulls dance, and listen to the interplay of wind and their calls.

I visited this well-known 5A scenic spot several years ago. I bought Ashima cigarettes there for 260 yuan a carton, but I heard they've been discontinued for a few years. There were many vendors selling ginseng fruit in the parking lot, the cheapest being 10 yuan for five bags. I bought quite a few.

Mile Dongfeng Farm is a red-brick art town designed by artist Luo Xu. It was transformed from an old state-owned farm, and the entire group of red-brick buildings is constructed without a single steel bar or nail, relying solely on the interlocking of red bricks. Its unique style is highly recommended.

I change for a walk to zhonghe cable car from middle of the ximatan cable car after I had completed view the top of cangshan (top of ximantan cable car- got very good view of cangshan). The view is very good during the walk, and the road is quite good and the journey is quite smooth. Only litter up hill and down hill. In short it is a very relaxing and smooth walk, can be better with some titbit.

I visited more than 10 years ago, and this return trip is still just as impressive. Now there are escalators, which are much more convenient than before and more friendly to those with limited mobility or the elderly, but there is an additional charge.

Entering the park directly with the QR code is convenient. Autumn is a very pleasant time to visit Atami. The walk from the entrance to the Big Boiling Pot is shaded by trees, so it's not too sunny. Soaking your feet and eating some onsen eggs is quite nice! 👍

I went in at 9 am and stayed until almost 5 pm. It was a place that didn't even sell much instant noodles, but I really liked it. The second section involved renting bicycles, which was quite tiring, but I loved the scenery. I hardly saw anyone along the way. As for food, there's a KFC at the end of Shudu Lake. The service station between the first and second sections didn't even sell instant noodles, only hot dogs, so I suggest bringing some food with you.

Lugu Lake truly lives up to its name as a pearl of the plateau. Its waters are crystal clear, a vibrant blue like a piece of warm jade. The Goddess Gemu Mountain serenely embraces the lake, while traditional wooden boats float gently on its surface. The Walking Marriage Bridge and Lover's Beach each possess their own unique charm, creating a soothing and tranquil landscape. We slowed down and strolled around the lake, enjoying the breeze and watching the clouds drift across its surface. Away from the hustle and bustle, we felt incredibly relaxed. We also experienced a bonfire party, immersing ourselves in the simple and honest customs of the Mosuo people. The scenic area is well-managed, with excellent ecological protection and a moderate level of commercialization, avoiding excessive noise. It's perfect for relaxing with friends, taking photos, and was the most delightful surprise of our Yunnan trip – definitely worth a special trip.
