I wanted to buy tickets for the glacier cable car, but it was sold out on the official website, so I had to buy a package deal on Ctrip. It wasn't too bad, though I was a little disappointed not to see the sunrise over the snow-capped peaks. They picked up three groups of people and took us to a place to buy oxygen. They tried to convince us as soon as we got on the bus that it was useless, and the kids got anxious, so we had to buy it and carry it back by hand. The Impression Lijiang tour was also a rip-off; it was outdoors, and we were practically dried out by the sun. We also rushed through Blue Moon Valley to make the most of the time. The snow-capped mountains are worth climbing, and Blue Moon Valley is definitely worth visiting—it's breathtaking!

Winter is a great time to visit, for its natural beauty and pastoral charm. After entering, turn left. Don't go to the Ginkgo King immediately; it's too crowded and noisy. Instead, wander freely through the vast villages, letting your imagination run wild and finding peace in the moment. The beauty of the ginkgo trees is just beginning, slowly unfolding their splendor.

If you missed the Yuanyang Rice Terraces in October, don't miss them in February. They're absolutely stunning in February! Before sunrise, the terraces are a dazzling display of blue, like a vast palette. The mist pouring from the mountains casts a mystical veil over the terraces and the village.

Kunming Botanical Garden has East and West Gardens, each with its own distinct plant area. There's also the Plum Garden, the Rhododendron Garden, and more. In autumn, the Maple Avenue is ablaze with color, with red maples and yellow apricots creating a vibrant tapestry of hues. The garden is a captivating spectacle of autumnal beauty.

Come to Kunming to take your kids out and experience the transparent boat of the Dianchi Forest Boat! ! The location is relatively easy to find. The ticket purchase is calculated according to the boat. A boat starts at 5 o'clock for one hour, and can be booked for half an hour after 5 o'clock. I guess it's because I'm about to get off work. Wear a life jacket before getting on the boat. One boat can take two adults, or two adults + a child under 1.2 meters, with two oars. The area is really not too big. If there are few people, it's still good to experience taking pictures. If there are many people, it's crowded + group photos, and the experience will be reduced a lot. It was cloudy on the day I went there, and the photo effect was not very good, but the children were also very happy to experience it.

The autumn colors were beautiful, but we didn't have enough time to see everything. The ticket price felt a bit expensive, especially considering we had just visited Baishuitai; the contrast was too stark. 😀

The scenery is beautiful, but the service is inadequate. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the waiting time for the dispatch bus was long during the National Day holiday. The temperature drops rapidly after 6 pm. Horseback riding and sightseeing buses within the scenic area are at your own expense. If you take children out, remember to wear sunscreen, bring dry food, and warm clothes.

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.

[August Xizhou Ancient Town: In the rice fields and Bai customs, meet the romance of summer] August Xizhou Ancient Town is a treasure land filled with greenery and fireworks! Less than half an hour's drive from the ancient city of Dali, just got off the bus and was surprised by the endless rice fields at the entrance of the village. The green rice waves undulating with the wind, and some egrets passed by. The blue sky and white clouds lined the white tiles and white walls of the Bai people's houses. No wonder everyone runs here with their cameras. Time in the ancient town is very slow. The stone road is winding and twisting, and there are intact Bai old houses on both sides. The darts and the carved doors and windows are all exquisite. Walking in is like breaking into the time museum. The key point is to praise the Yanjia Courtyard, not only to see the exquisiteness of Bai architecture, but also to understand the history of Xizhou business gangs. The pomegranate trees in the yard are full of fruits, especially the atmosphere of life. In August, just in time for the local fruit peak season! The roadside stalls are full of yellow figs, sweet grapes, and freshly picked blueberries, affordable and fresh. Of course, Xizhou is indispensable. It is recommended to bake sweet mouths (rose filling) and salted mouths (pork end), the outer skin is crispy and the inner is soft, with a cup of milk fan Shaqima, and the carbide is happy to be directly full. I found a small shop by the river and sat down to eat, watched the flowing water, listened to the locals chatting in dialect. It's so pleasant. In the afternoon, you can rent a bicycle to ride along the rice fields, blow the wind through the fields, pass the villagers' vegetable fields and ponds, and feel the most simple pastoral scenery. In the evening, the light on the edge of the rice field became soft, taking pictures with filters, and many newcomers took wedding photos here, which was very romantic. The only thing to note is that it is a bit sun-dried in the afternoon of August, remember to do a good job of sun protection; there are a little more tourists on the main street of the ancient town, but you can find a cleanliness when you turn into the alley, suitable for slowly shaking. Overall, Xizhou does not have the hustle and bustle of Dali Ancient City, but has more idyllic and humanistic heritage. Come here in August, like putting the beauty of the whole summer in your hands, recommend it to friends who want to slow down and feel Dali ～

The scenery around Erhai Lake in Dali is absolutely stunning. Choosing a sightseeing bus tour is the most economical option. I booked a one-day tour on Ctrip. Since time was limited, I recommend selecting a few attractions, such as the S-bend and Luoquan Island.
