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 most beautiful lake on Earth, rivaling Sayram Lake.
Yunnan people sold Erhai Lake to outsiders and kept Fuxian Lake for themselves.
I've visited both Sayram Lake and Fuxian Lake, and they truly share the same beauty, yet distinct styles.
Furthermore, Fuxian Lake holds an extremely important position in Yunnan's ancient life history. Those interested in archaeology and geology should explore it carefully.

Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum is worth visiting and learning with your children.
You will have a very detailed and three-dimensional understanding of the origin of the earth🌏, the past of the earth🌏, and the history of the earth's development.
Various animal fossils and specimens "jump" off the flat books. The three-dimensional presentation in front of the children is very shocking. Children can watch, touch, and feel it on the spot. In this way, they can better learn to protect the environment, love nature, and love all rare animals.
Teacher Wang’s explanation is vivid and interesting, and his scholarship is profound. He talked about life from nothing to something, and culture from zero to one, allowing us to fully understand the Cambrian explosion of life and appreciate the long process of the origin and evolution of life.

Yuxi Moon Bay Wetland Park: A dreamy nature trip ✨ 🌳 took advantage of the weekend, I came to the Yuxi Moon Bay Wetland Park that I was thinking of. It is really great here! Stepping into the park is like breaking into a green fairy tale world, full of green plants lush, hundreds of plants grow wantonly, it is a natural botanical garden. Walking along the lake, the clear blue lake sparkling, the lake shore line twists and turns, and the beauty of the garden intertwined, as if a beautiful landscape painting, people can not help but stop to enjoy. What surprised me most was the open coconut grove shadow beach on the south side of the lake, the delicate white sand, the tall coconut trees, and the umbrellas and lounge chairs. The proper sun coast has a sense of sight, which really makes people think they have arrived in Sanya. The entertainment here is also super rich, whether you want to enjoy the sand on the beach, enjoy parent-child time, sweat on the tennis court, or take a water-pedal sightseeing boat to enjoy the lake view, you can meet. There are also children's boating, beach slides, inflatable amusement facilities, children do not want to go when they come! Taking pictures is even more amazing. There are many special photo scenes in the park, such as prisms, the gate of the sky, the sea of sunflowers, lotus ponds, purple verbena areas, rose gardens, etc. Any shot is a fashion blockbuster. I took a lot of beautiful photos here, and the circle of friends was praised. The supporting facilities of the park are also very complete, providing bicycle rental services, riding a car to visit the park slowly, not to mention more comfortable. Tickets 30 yuan can also deduct consumption in the park, which is really cost-effective. Parking around is convenient, the bus can also be directly accessible, there are hotels and various restaurants opposite, there is no need to worry about eating and accommodation. The only small shortcoming is that some entertainment projects are charged separately. The overall cost of playing may be a bit high, but this does not affect my love here at all! I highly recommend everyone to punch in, and I will really get an unforgettable travel experience!
- Beautiful natural landscape: The park is rich in vegetation, with hundreds of plants growing luxuriantly, like a botanical garden; a large number of flowers are also planted, like a beautiful garden. In addition, the park is close to Fuxian Lake, the lake water is clear and blue, the lakeshore is long, and the scenery in the park complements each other, forming a beautiful landscape painting.
- Rich entertainment projects: There are entertainment beaches, tennis courts, parent-child paddling pools and other sports and entertainment projects, as well as children's rowing, beach slides, inflatable cushion amusement facilities and water pedal boats, etc. Whether it is a parent-child outing, a couple's date or a friend gathering, you can find a suitable entertainment method for yourself.
- High rate of photo shooting: The park has many special photo shooting scenes, such as prisms, gates of the sky, sunflowers, lotus ponds, purple verbena, rose gardens, etc., as well as large coconut trees and shadow beaches, as well as clear lake water and blue sky and white clouds as the background. Any casual shot is a fashionable blockbuster, and it is a good place to take photos and check in.
- Complete supporting facilities: The park provides bicycle rental services to facilitate tourists to visit the park. The 30 yuan ticket can be deducted from the consumption in the park, which is very affordable. In addition, there are parking lots around the park, which is convenient for parking and there are direct buses, so the transportation is relatively convenient. There are also hotels and many restaurants opposite, with a variety of dining and accommodation options.
- Some projects are charged higher: In addition to tickets, some entertainment projects and facilities in the park require separate charges, such as boating, renting beach lounge chairs, etc., and the overall cost of playing may be higher.
- A large number of tourists: As a popular tourist attraction, there are a large number of tourists during holidays and weekends, and the beach may be crowded and you need to wait in line for the play items, which affects the play experience.
- The park is limited in area: Although the park has beautiful scenery, the overall area is relatively small and the play content is relatively limited. For tourists who want to play in depth or stay for a long time, they may feel that they are not satisfied enough.
No.

Due to the lower temperatures in winter, there are not many tourists around Fuxian Lake and there are fewer audiences watching the performances. However, the actors from various countries in the Fuxian Lake International Circus still performed very professional and enthusiastic performances. The festival choreography was interesting, and the actors interacted well with the audience, especially bringing a lot of joy and laughter to the children present. Compared with the night markets and Internet celebrity man-made attractions around Fuxian Lake, the circus performance at night is more joyful and joyful, and it is worth a try.
The exterior structure of the Grand Theater and the colorful lighting arrangement are good, but some of the seats inside are not solid. The program arrangement is quite careful, but the time is a bit short, 1 hour and 8 minutes, which is slightly less cost-effective than the ticket price. After that, there are about 30 minutes of fire-breathing and other programs outside the venue, and there are also interactions, which feel quite integrated. The overall feeling is that the actors are attentive, and the wheel program is the most exciting.
