    The scenic area isn't very large. After entering the gate, I bought tickets for the magic carpet for my parents. The magic carpet didn't have any safety features, which made me feel a bit unsafe. Inside the scenic area, there are several photo spots at the tropics boundary, which are quite nice.

    The famous Fish Cave on the west shore of Fuxian Lake is a hidden gem where nature and culture intertwine. Over 200 fish holes stretch along the lake, and the "water-carrying fishing" practice during the fishing season is a living intangible cultural heritage. The waters are as clear as glass, dotted with sailboats and kayaks. The lakeside seating at Xin Coffee is a truly stunning spot. The 15 yuan ticket price is a great value, and paired with the delicious taste of the braised kanglang fish, it perfectly captures the charm of slow-paced life in central Yunnan.

    Here is a review of my trip to Fuxian Lake in Yunnan: Fuxian Lake is truly a stunning place, a hidden gem of Yunnan. Picturesque Scenery The lake water is crystal clear and azure, like jelly, with extremely high visibility, making the pebbles and small fish underwater clearly visible. The lakeside ecological park boasts vast green lawns, and the wooden boardwalk is a photographer's paradise, offering stunning shots whether it's morning or evening. The sunset, in particular, with its orange hues reflected on the lake, is breathtakingly beautiful. Abundant Activities There are many fun activities to enjoy. For example, at the Star Fish Cave, you can rent kayaks or sailboats to enjoy a relaxing time on the water; Moon Bay Wetland Park features coconut groves, white sand beaches, and an infinity pool, making it feel like a mini-Sanya, perfect for family trips. Tempting Cuisine The food at Fuxian Lake is also unforgettable. Copper pot fish is a must-try local specialty. The freshly caught fish, cooked in a flavorful broth, results in tender, melt-in-your-mouth fish. The accompanying copper pot potato rice is also very fragrant. Street vendors selling chilled pea noodles and iced rice porridge are also delicious and offer excellent value. However, the facilities at Fuxian Lake Scenic Area do have some shortcomings. Some attractions are quite remote, making transportation inconvenient. The distances between attractions are considerable, making it difficult to explore without a car. Furthermore, some popular spots, such as the pink sand beach at Hongshanzui, differ from online descriptions; the beach has many pebbles, and the color isn't as vibrant. Additionally, some guesthouses in Guanglong Town have poor soundproofing, affecting the accommodation experience. Overall, Fuxian Lake is a perfect resort for relaxation. Despite some minor flaws, its natural beauty and unique experiences make it well worth a visit.

    The Hundred Blessings Wall at Songming Pavilion is very meaningful; taking photos there is believed to bring good fortune. The surrounding environment is also very elegant, making it a good place to rest. The suspension bridge at the Land Altar is a bit thrilling, swaying as you walk across. It's surrounded by trees, offering beautiful scenery; those with a strong stomach should definitely try it. For families with elderly members and children, a package ticket is sufficient. The electric shuttle buses are very convenient, running both ways, saving energy and allowing you to visit more attractions. The Kongming Well water-carrying challenge is perfect for parent-child interaction. Adults and children can carry water together, experiencing the hardships of the caravan trade in the past and strengthening their bonds. The park's signage is very clear, making the hiking route easy to navigate. Even beginners can easily complete the entire route, providing a fantastic experience!

    The China Pu'er Tea Expo Garden is located in Yingpan Mountain, Simao District, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province, 29 kilometers from the city center. It is built on a 23,000-acre ecological tea garden. The scenic area has nine core areas, including the Pu'er Tea Museum and the Tea House, to showcase the origin, cultivation, production, and ethnic culture of Pu'er tea. Visitors can experience special activities such as tea picking and making, and ethnic customs exhibitions. It will be upgraded to a national 4A tourist attraction in 2021.

    Nighttime tickets are cheaper, but wait times are shorter than during the day, allowing for a wider range of attractions, and the Torch Festival is also lively. The park's design reflects strong ethnic characteristics and cultural heritage. Objectively speaking, annual passes are relatively inexpensive, and for families traveling with children, you can rent very affordable B&Bs (over 1,000 yuan per month, or under 100 yuan per day), perfect for both study and leisure activities. However, the planned location fails to fully leverage the unique character of Dianchi Lake. Due to its locational constraints, its food, living facilities, and transportation are inferior to those of the main urban area. For example, the local economy (Jinning District) may be problematic. The road between the main urban area and the park is unlit early in the evening, and the road is uneven in some areas.

    Suitable for family trips, you can feed each animal for 20 yuan, and there are many signs introducing plants. It's basically a small zoo. The price-performance ratio is so-so, but it's a good place to take children. A complete tour takes about 2 hours.

    A must-see in Kunming is Xishan (Western Hill), and taking the Dianchi Lake Cableway is essential. After descending Xishan, go to the Longmen ticket office to buy a one-way ticket for 60 yuan (round trip 100 yuan; it's recommended to go from Xishan to Haigeng Park, taking a one-way trip). The cable car ride soars over Dianchi Lake, reaching the must-see Haigeng Park in 15 minutes. The scenery along the way is breathtaking. The cable car is actually divided into two sections: one descends from the mountain, offering a higher vantage point for viewing Dianchi Lake, and the other is on flat ground, from the foot of the mountain to Haigeng Park. The route even crosses the water of Dianchi Lake, making it a very unique and rare lakeside cable car in China.

    I came specifically to ride the transparent boats, and after comparing it with Haihong Wetland Park, I chose Laoyuhe Wetland Park. Due to time constraints, I only managed to ride one transparent boat, but the experience was still quite good. Next time, I'd like to allocate more time to explore the park.
