During the peak tourist season, I stayed in a hotel near the scenic area in advance and entered the park early the next morning. The entire Stone Forest is divided into the Big Stone Forest and the Small Stone Forest. Personally, I think there is nothing to see in the Small Stone Forest except Ashima. The scenery behind the Big Stone Forest is good and it is still possible to walk slowly.

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.
The cable car is the first choice for parent-child travel. The pool water is much clearer. The queue for the battery car in Longmen Scenic Area is too long, so I gave up decisively. It is still necessary to walk around Nie Er's Tomb after getting off the cable car.

Taking my two kids to the Miledong Fengyun area was beyond our expectations! The red brick buildings in the area were a real delight for the kids. The Kaleidoscope Art Museum resembled a castle made of colorful building blocks, and the kids ran around it, exclaiming, "It looks like a magic house!" The photos were filled with their delighted smiles. The vast lawn became a natural playground, where they chased butterflies and lay on the grass to watch the clouds. The kids had a blast running around all afternoon without even complaining of fatigue. Along the way, there were many little surprises: adorable sculptures hidden in the grass, and a roadside stall selling colorful cotton candy. The kids ate and browsed, their eyes overflowing. In the evening, we rested on a bench by the sea of flowers, watching the sunset gild the red brick buildings. My eldest child sketched with a paintbrush, while my second child chased squirrels. The scene was truly soothing. The most thoughtful amenities were the family-friendly facilities: rest areas were everywhere for children to refill their water bottles and change clothes, and the restrooms had dedicated child-friendly sinks, so even with a stroller, we could complete the entire route without encountering any steps. The scenic area's trains are slow and leisurely, leaving children waving with excitement while adults can take a break. Our B&B is located near the scenic area, just a 10-minute walk away. At night, we can take our children out to admire the stars, listen to the chirping of insects, and reminisce about the day's fun. In short, there's no crowds here, but there's space for children to unleash their inner selves. The perfect blend of art and nature is a surefire way to bring your kids!
To be honest, the Kaleidoscope Art Museum is pretty good, but there are no flowers in the flower fields. There are too many tourists and the staff feel that they can't handle it. There are too many people. Taking a photo is like squeezing. The quality of tourists seems to be not high. They don't care, especially some uncles and aunts. Alas, I can't stand it.

It was a worthwhile and wonderful trip. Thanks to Ctrip for arranging it. The free day on the last day was like an extra day of leisure time because our flight was late. The hotel had average reviews online, but I thought the transportation was very convenient. We visited most of the planned attractions. It was a very happy time with the Luo family.
There are lots of performances every day, and it's always fun when I bring friends from other provinces. You just have to immerse yourself in it, hahaha.
Nowadays, many buildings have restaurants (specializing in their respective ethnic groups), which is quite fun. You can enjoy roasted milk fan in the Bai village, and there are Dai-style restaurants in the Dai village. Restaurant prices are generally comparable to those outside the scenic area, so they're very affordable.

I didn't go to the Ximatan Cableway because I was worried about altitude sickness. This cableway is also quite good and suitable for light tourism. The scenic area is not well managed. Fortunately, I went there early in the morning, otherwise it would be difficult to park, use the toilet, and everything else. It's better to go early if you want to go.
I am not sure this place is worth 300 yuan per person, especially in the rainy season when the clouds obscure a lot of views, but at least I liked the 7 dragon pools area and the scenic route to the other cableway. The glacial lake on the top was also nice but a bit underwhelming. If you're in Dali for multiple days - give it a try, otherwise perhaps choose the cheaper option.

The scenery is beautiful, the explanation is interesting, the tour guide is experienced and takes a break after each climb, taking care of the discomfort caused by the high altitude. I asked for a 99 yuan bell and hope that my daughter's studies will go well.
The Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas Scenic Area is very famous and you must come and see it when you come to Dali. Except for the three pagodas, the rest are newly built, but the temple is magnificent, the dojo is grand, and the momentum is magnificent. It is still worth a visit to understand Buddhism and history.

It's worth the price of admission. There are so many animals to interact with, and while it costs money, it's a lot of fun. Best of all, you can take photos with the tiger cubs and feed the big ones up close.
It feels more fun than the Beijing Wildlife Park, and there are so many more animals. I recommend spending the better part of a day here with your kids!
Note: You can't touch the tiger cubs! You can't touch them!
It's fun. You can get very close to the animals. Each animal is fed and looks very pretty. If you have the chance, you can take the kids there. Although the area is quite large, you can take a sightseeing bus.

I slept in this morning and arrived just in time for the scenic area to open. I followed the caravan around for a good half tour, then joined my kids in tie-dyeing, working together to create outfits for the whole family. We had a delicious bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles for lunch. That evening, we danced hand-in-hand with the handsome performers around the bonfire, sweating profusely. It was truly exhilarating!
This was the smoothest trip I've ever had to a Lijiang scenic area. It wasn't crowded at all during peak season, and I really appreciate the scenic area's excellent traffic flow management. Staff members were very helpful in directing people in different directions during the break, ensuring a smooth and orderly flow. The free shuttle bus was located near the exit, with clear boarding points, making it very convenient to get back to the city. For those who drove, the pick-up route was also smooth. The constant announcements kept me informed, so I didn't have to worry about getting lost. It was a perfect end to the day.

Today I went to a mountain road near the Three Pagodas Temple. There were few people and the scenery was beautiful. I should be able to shoot a popular video, but unfortunately I don't know how to shoot. I also saw a rainbow on the way back. I stayed in a small courtyard by the Erhai Lake. The terrace overlooked the Erhai Lake. The breeze was refreshing. I liked to sit on it and drink tea.
The lake of the Bohai Sea is wide and quiet, often shrouded in mist in the morning, like a light colored ink. The boat was rowing out, and the lake was full of ripples, reflecting the distant mountains and white towers, and the picture was extremely soft. The path by the lake is the rice fields and ancient villages, and you can feel the strong atmosphere of life when you walk. In the evening, the sunset falls on the lake, the sky is the same color, the sunset is shining. The most touching thing is the "slow beauty": no need to deliberately, time is here quietly flowing.

A one-way cable car ride is enough; after all, the scenery isn't as stunning in months without seagulls.
When it's crowded, go to Lingxu Pavilion first, then Longmen.
The view from Lingxu Pavilion overlooking Dianchi Lake and the path carved into the Longmen cliff face is quite nice. Tickets are 30 yuan for adults and 15 yuan for students, which is not expensive. A shorter route down the mountain from the north gate would be even better!
Just go, and climb without making a sound. I suggest you take the scenic bus first, then transfer to the battery car to the entrance of Longmen Scenic Area, and then climb. If you hold on until you are sweating, you will reach Longmen, hahaha. But the scenery is really beautiful, you can see the whole panoramic view of Dianchi Lake. You must go to Longmen early, otherwise it will be full of people.
