Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
【Gejiu, a place that slows you down】
Today, I'm going to take you to a hidden treasure town in Yunnan - Gejiu. Here, it's spring all year round, the house prices are affordable, and the pace of life is slow, making it the perfect choice to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.🏡
📅 Day 1: The blend of nature and history
Yuanyang Terraces: In the early morning, we start our day's journey from here. The greenery of spring, the golden splendor of autumn, each season has its own beauty. Remember to bring your camera to capture the charm of nature.
Jianshui Ancient City: In the afternoon, stroll on the stone roads of the ancient city and feel the accumulation of history. Jianshui Seventeen-hole Bridge, Twin Dragon Bridge, each bridge has its own story.
📅 Day 2: Exploration of art and culture
Mile Dongfengyun: This place is known as the "Provence" of central Yunnan, where art and nature blend perfectly. Every building seems to have walked out of a painting, making people linger.
Bisezhai: Take the Jianshui small train, travel through time, and feel the weight of history. The French-style houses at Bisezhai Station seem to take you back to that romantic era.
📅 Day 3: Quiet and relaxing time
Tuanshan Village: In this off-the-beaten-path ancient town, you can slow down and experience the leisurely life of southern Yunnan. Ancient bridges and buildings, each place reveals the traces of time.
Jinhu: In the evening, come to the side of Jinhu, watch the sunset glow sprinkled on the lake, and enjoy this tranquility.
🚌 Travel Tips: Gejiu is about 200 kilometers away from Kunming. Self-driving or taking the intercity railway are good choices. Departing from Kunming, it takes about 3 hours by car or 130 minutes by train to reach this beautiful town.
🌄 Opening hours: Most attractions are open all day, but it is recommended to set off in the morning to have more time to enjoy the beauty of each place.
🍲 Food recommendation: The snacks in Gejiu are also not to be missed. The roadside rice noodles are affordable and delicious, and are a favorite of locals.
Gejiu, this small town forgotten by time, is waiting for you to discover its story. Here, you can slow down and feel the true meaning of life.🌈
The Grand Mosque of Shadian Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
【Honghe】The largest mosque in Asia is so beautiful!
Before, I heard that the largest mosque in Asia was actually in a small town in Honghe, and I was just curious and wanted to go see it. I didn't expect to find it so beautiful after I went there, and I stayed for an afternoon without wanting to leave.
The location is in Shadian, Honghe, one day away. You can navigate to the Shadian Mosque. It is very close to Jianshui, less than half an hour by car. You can also take a look when you go to Jianshui. It is very convenient to take a taxi from the train station and it only takes more than ten minutes. Personally, I think it's worth a visit.
The mosque has five prayer times every day. It is recommended to go around 1:30 pm and 6:30 pm in the afternoon. There will be sunlight in the main hall in the afternoon, and the light and shadow will be beautiful. The evening light is also good.
Non-Muslims and women are not allowed to enter the main hall. Visiting is only allowed in the outer corridor, and do not wear too revealing clothes. Please wear long sleeves and long clothes as much as possible and respect others' beliefs.
The security guards are very friendly, they can chat with you and even guide you on where to take photos. However, during prayer time, they will ask for silence. Overall, it is a beautiful and exotic mosque worth visiting, and you can also take beautiful photos there.
Jiaji Village Pear Valley Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
A grand spring at Jiaji Zhaicun!
Captured with a mobile phone! This grand spring, right here at Jiaji Zhaicun. Some say that Pear Blossom Valley only looks good when photographed with a camera, and not as nice with a mobile phone, right? But it has moved me with its beauty.
Moreover, mobile photography allows for a wider angle, capturing more content and even the whole tree.
Jiaji Zhaicun has so many spectacular ancient pear trees, an immense sea of flowers, majestic and vast. Standing among them, one feels so small.
I quite like the photos taken with a mobile phone too. I'd like to see your mobile photography.
