This time I came to the Stone Forest and felt different. I brought my 86-year-old mother here. She had never seen it before and she was very happy. I came here 20 years ago and my memory was vague. This time I was really shocked by the strange shapes of the stones. Here you can give full play to your imagination and see what these stones look like. What is not ideal is that there are too many people in the summer.
It was quite astonishing, a truly unforgettable sight. The temperature inside the Stone Forest wasn't very high, especially in September, when the weather wasn't too hot. It wasn't at all hot to enjoy the beauty of the Stone Forest.
Viewing the Stone Forest from a high vantage point offers a truly unique experience.

Dianchi Lake, the birthplace of the ancient Dian Kingdom, has been a vibrant cultural hub for thousands of years and boasts a rich history. Nestled alongside the Xishan Mountains, Dianchi Lake boasts abundant natural resources and breathtaking scenery. The surrounding Daguan Park (Daguan Tower), Haigeng Park, Xishan Scenic Area (Longmen), and numerous wetland parks offer excellent recreational opportunities. However, the entire Dianchi Lake is surrounded by a circuit, making it difficult to reach the lake's edge for scenic views.
It would have been quite convenient to walk from Gantong to Xima Cao and then pay the 50 yuan per person difference to take the cable car down the mountain, but now you have to climb 1,200 steps to get to Xima Cao, which is a bummer. They are currently building another staircase or elevator nearby, so it may be improved in the future.

Dongfengyun, a newly popular online destination in Yunnan, combines historical depth with artistic creativity, making it ideal for travelers seeking a less-traveled, immersive experience. If you prefer natural scenery or traditional folk customs, we recommend planning your itinerary in advance.
Nine photos aren't enough to show this beautiful, artistic town. The red brick castle and the fusion of Chinese and Western styles make it a great place to take photos. The restaurant inside is also very good. The space is very spacious, and if the weather is good, you can walk around more, drink coffee, listen to music...

It's worth a visit. The various ethnic performances were very exciting. It was just raining when I went there, so many programs were cancelled. The travel photography was terrible. It was the worst travel photography I've ever had in so many places. I just followed the photos near a scenic spot. The experience was poor, and the photos were not good at all. I paid for it and that was it. It really hurt the score of the scenic spot.
I bought the night show and entered the park at 5:30 pm. The battery-powered bicycles were all off duty. A few villages were open, but it was a bit deserted and the show was a bit boring. It might be because there were too few people. The scenery is beautiful and suitable for taking pictures and checking in. I don't recommend it if you want to learn about ethnic minorities. It takes a long time to walk out of the commercial area...

The scenery is really beautiful, but there are too many people queuing for the cable car during the peak tourist season. The one-way trip takes about 10 minutes. You can also see the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake from a high point.
The environment is good, the air is fresh, and it is a holy place for oxygen absorption. However, the waiting time for the Gantong Cableway is too long. The queue is nearly 3 hours, and the cable car is only a few minutes. The Gantong Line, the Zhenlong Chess Game and the viewing platform are very average and not up to expectations. The Jade Belt Road is very quiet and at an altitude of more than 2,600 meters, there is no discomfort and children can also walk

The place is huge with many temples along with the three pagodas. I recommend booking the sightseeing bus to travel up the hill. You can choose to return with the sightseeing bus or walk downhill. It’s very clean and well maintained. Just amazing how well preserved everything is and in such good condition after so many years. The place is very tourist friendly and has introductions in English. We visited during the off-peak season and had some of the temples all to ourselves - got the chance to really soak in the history and scenery. Also a great photo opportunity! There was slight rain shower however as Maldivians, we are used to it and did not bother us or ruin our visit at all. We were expecting and prepared with umbrellas! It was beautiful and definitely worthwhile.
🏯 Three Pagodas Park — величественно, спокойно, незабываемо!Посетили с женой — и остались под впечатлением от масштаба и гармонии. Главные пагоды стоят уже более тысячи лет, горы на фоне, зеркальное озеро… Фото получаются как открытки 📸Парк ухоженный, тихий, идеально для неспешной прогулки. Особенно красиво утром — меньше людей, мягкий свет, полное ощущение уединения с природой и историей.Обязательно возьмите аудиогид — истории о пагодах добавляют глубины впечатлениям. И не забудьте сделать фото отражения пагод в воде — это must-have кадр!—#崇圣寺三塔 #大理必去 #云南旅行 #文化古迹 #情侣出游 推荐 #中国古建筑 #静谧之美 #历史与自然 #旅行回忆

I really enjoyed coming here with my mom and husband. We were able to see the animals up close while still feeling safe, which was amazing! I was a bit disappointed with the panda area, as it wasn't as engaging as I had hoped, but overall it was still a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t mind coming back again next time. Highly recommended!

The Lijiang Qianguqing Scenic Area also offers unique experiences and hidden gems. In Dawa Village, visitors can experience earthenware pottery making, tie-dyeing, lacquer fans, and copperplate engraving. These intangible cultural heritage projects are incredibly popular, and after enjoying a wonderful performance and then relaxing in Dawa Village, they can also experience some of Lijiang's Yunnan intangible cultural heritage. It's truly a perfect experience.
World class performances with beautiful backdrops and lightings. Highly recommended for anyone that is visiting Lijiang.

I had hoped for a molten golden sunset by the sea, but instead, I encountered a lingering rainy day, which unexpectedly brought a unique tenderness.
Lead-gray clouds hung low above the horizon, and the wind, wrapped in sea mist, blew against my face, bringing a salty, damp coolness that was far more soothing than the sweltering heat of a sunny day. The beach had lost its usual bustle, a few scattered footprints quickly smoothed by the rising tide. The fishing boats in the distance were blurred silhouettes in the mist, like a smudged ink painting.
I found a small seaside shop, sat down, ordered a cup of hot ginger tea, and watched the rain slant into the sea, splashing tiny drops of water. Occasionally, a seagull flew past, close to the crest of the waves, its cries softened by the wind. Without the glare of the sun, even time seemed to slow down. No need to rush to tourist attractions or snap photos, just quietly listening to the crashing waves and rain was a more soothing experience than the bustle of a sunny day.
A rainy evening by the sea lacked the expected breathtaking spectacle, but it brought an unexpected sense of relaxation. If you also want to avoid the crowds and find some quiet time, such a moment may be more worthwhile than a clear sky.
🌊 "Proven myself | Driving around Erhai Lake is the ultimate way to experience Dali's romantic charm!"
If Dali's "romance" were a poem, then driving around Erhai Lake is the most free and unrestrained way to recite it! Renting a convertible here is very convenient and affordable. 💨
🚗 Step on the accelerator and enter a fairyland.
► Recommended: The Haidong Route! The road winds along the lake, and the car windows feel like a giant theater—Cangshan Mountain on the left, Erhai Lake on the right. Every turn is a "wow" moment!
► Don't miss the idyllic scenery of Haixi. Drive through rice paddies and villages, dotted with Bai ethnic minority dwellings. It's like stepping into a live version of a pastoral poem. 🌾
► Pull over whenever you see a charming spot: take photos of the mirrored sky on the lakeside boardwalk, or wait for the sunset by the wetlands. Feel free to indulge in the feeling of freedom!
🌿 Ecological Corridor: Green healing on wheels.
Don't underestimate the driving experience; the ecological experience is uncompromising! Cycle along the Ecological Corridor at night. The S-bend is bustling with activity, with many people singing and dancing.
✅ Enjoy breathtaking lake views throughout the ride. The waters of Erhai Lake are as clear as sapphires, and waterfowl dance in the wetlands along the shore.
✅ Pass by popular photo spots like the S-bend, the Corridor Bridge, and the Couple Tree, and hop off the bike to pose whenever you want. 📸
✅ Play "Going to Dali" in the car while feeling the lake breeze—who knows this ambiance?
💡 Exclusive Tips
▪️ Vehicle Recommendation: Convertibles or cars with sunroofs are more photogenic!
▪️ Timeline: We recommend a morning sunrise or an afternoon departure, circling the lake counterclockwise to catch the golden sunset at Erhai Lake. 🌅
▪️ Stops: Shuanglang Observation Deck, Wase Waterway, and Xizhou Ancient Town—each one is worth a stop!
🌟 Why is driving the best?
Freedom! Spontaneity! No sun exposure! Perfect for lazy travelers, families, and couples—no need to ride in the scorching sun or hike, just hum along in the air-conditioned car and take in the breathtaking scenery.
📌 Follow me to unlock more magical routes!

Diverse Experiences: Experience both the wonders of nature and the slower pace of rural life, perfect for travelers of all tastes.
Pleasant Climate: Guizhou's cool summers make it an ideal summer escape.
It's a very nice, comfortable countryside and forest scenic area. It's not hot inside, and the facilities are complete and rich. You can take the bus there. There are also scenic shuttle buses in the park. There are some villages in the scenic area where you can stay and eat, as well as try batik clothes. It's a good experience and recommended.
