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. 😀
Pudacuo National Park is located in Hongpo Village, Jiantang Town, Shangri-La City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is a 5A-level tourist attraction. Major attractions include Shudu Lake and Bita Lake. The park boasts beautiful scenery, clear blue skies, alpine meadows, and geological landscapes, making it a popular summer retreat.

We love Zoos and have been to zoos all over the world. However, this might be our favorite experience! The animals are well kept and everything is clean. The tigers are amazing! Our kids loved every second.
Fantastic! This trip to the Yunnan Wild Animal Park far exceeded my expectations, and I must give it a huge thumbs up! The environment is beautiful, and the animal welfare is evident. Upon entering, I was immediately drawn to the lush greenery and cleanliness. The paths are wide and clearly marked, so I didn't get lost at all. What surprised me most was that most of the animal enclosures were very spacious, simulating natural habitats. I saw tigers strolling on artificial hills, monkeys leaping nimbly through the trees, and flamingos leisurely preening in the wide water. The animals looked to be in great spirits, with glossy fur and natural behavior, indicating they are well cared for, which was truly heartwarming and touching. The interactive experiences were plentiful, combining fun and education. The zoo designed many interesting interactive projects. Moreover, each exhibit had very detailed and vivid informational panels, as well as regular animal behavior demonstrations and explanations from the keepers. Not only did children learn something, but even we adults were engrossed, truly achieving edutainment. The service was attentive, with attention to detail. The park's facilities were also excellent. There were plenty of benches in the rest areas, and the restrooms were well-distributed and clean. There was a variety of dining options. The staff were incredibly friendly, patiently answering all questions about directions and animals. The numerous tall, green water fountains were a welcome touch on the hot summer days. Overall impression: This is definitely a place worth visiting again and again! Whether it's a family trip, a romantic date, or a gathering with friends, you'll find enjoyment here. It's not just a place to see animals, but a paradise where you can relax, connect with nature, and learn. It's wonderful to see such a dedicated and caring zoo. Five stars! I'll definitely be back!

Lijiang Eternal Love is absolutely amazing! Stepping into the scenic area is like entering a Naxi secret realm, with cobblestone paths connecting the stories of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. The "Lijiang Eternal Love" performance touches the soul; the tragic grandeur of the caravan and the poignant beauty of the Jade Dragon Third Kingdom come alive in the light and shadow. The handmade leather shops and coppersmiths on the streets, along with various interactive dances, are incredibly immersive. Only when the bonfire is lit at night do you truly understand the vibrant yet gentle side of Lijiang.
Drawn in by its reputation as a "visual wonder," *Lijiang Eternal Love* certainly didn't disappoint! The stage technology was used to perfection. The opening scene, with its cascading floodwaters, elicited gasps from the entire audience, and the effect of the caravan walking on the "cliff" was incredibly realistic. The lighting, mechanical devices, and multimedia worked in perfect harmony, making each scene a dynamic epic. In terms of stage technology and visual effects alone, it is undoubtedly a benchmark for domestic live-action performances!

A nighttime stroll through Lijiang Old Town is a double dose of healing, a blend of light and shadow and vibrant atmosphere. Red lanterns line the stone-paved streets, the Jade River flows gently, reflecting the silhouettes of the Naxi wooden houses. The Dongba script lanterns on Oil-Paper Umbrella Street and Zhenxing Lane offer countless atmospheric photo opportunities.
The bonfire dancing at Sifang Street is the most lively, with Naxi grandmothers leading tourists in song and dance, their laughter echoing through the alleys. In the quiet bars around the corners, folk songs mingle with the aroma of plum wine, while electronic music from upbeat bars creates a unique energy. Donning ethnic costumes for a photoshoot near the waterwheel and the stone bridge, the flower-adorned shops and flowing water create stunning backdrops for pictures.
Lion Hill's Wangu Tower offers a panoramic view; under the night sky, the old town lights twinkle like stars, both serene and magnificent. Although the bar street is a bit noisy and commercialized, it remains orderly, with volunteers and tourist police readily available to assist.
Tips: Wear comfortable shoes for the cobblestone streets, and ask about prices before making purchases to avoid being ripped off. The ancient city at night offers both a lively, bustling atmosphere and a tranquil feeling as you stroll through its alleys, making it a place worth immersing yourself in.
Lijiang Old Town at dusk is a perfect transition from the hustle and bustle of daytime to the gentle warmth of night. The setting sun casts a warm glow on the cobblestone streets, the eaves of the Naxi wooden houses are tinged with twilight, and the flowing water in the river carries shimmering fragments of gold, creating a picturesque scene with the red lanterns lit along the banks.
Sifang Street is the heart of the lively atmosphere. When bonfires are lit, the rhythmic "Da Tiao" (a traditional Naxi dance) fills the air with laughter, and tourists and locals dance hand in hand, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. In the alleyways, the sounds of ancient Naxi music and folk guitars intertwine, and the aroma of Pu'er tea mingles with the smoky scent of Naxi grilled fish in the teahouses, enticing visitors to linger.
Climbing to the Lion Hill viewing platform, one can overlook the entire old town, its lights gradually unfolding, with the silhouette of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain appearing and disappearing in the night, both serene and magnificent. Occasionally, stumbling upon a hidden Naxi courtyard, the reflection of lights in the pond, the swaying water lilies, feels like entering a poetic dreamscape.
Here, there's none of the daytime crowds, yet a vibrant energy that surpasses even the dead of night. Strolling through, the ancient and the modern, the quiet and the bustling blend perfectly, each step resonating with the rhythm of time, captivating the senses and making one reluctant to leave.

The 3-hour explanation was excellent, the timing was just right, and it wasn't tiring at all even with elderly people. I'm very grateful to Mr. Xiong Lin, the teacher who gave us the explanation; it was truly wonderful!
I went to the Yunnan Provincial Museum today, and Mr. Liu's explanation was excellent. His language was easy to understand, and he even pointed out small details about the artifacts. It was both easy to understand and interesting; I highly recommend everyone see him!
If you enjoy guided tours, I think you should buy the 2.5-hour pass, because 2 hours is simply not enough.

Nighttime tickets are cheaper, but wait times are shorter than during the day, allowing for a wider range of attractions, and the Torch Festival is also lively. The park's design reflects strong ethnic characteristics and cultural heritage. Objectively speaking, annual passes are relatively inexpensive, and for families traveling with children, you can rent very affordable B&Bs (over 1,000 yuan per month, or under 100 yuan per day), perfect for both study and leisure activities. However, the planned location fails to fully leverage the unique character of Dianchi Lake. Due to its locational constraints, its food, living facilities, and transportation are inferior to those of the main urban area. For example, the local economy (Jinning District) may be problematic. The road between the main urban area and the park is unlit early in the evening, and the road is uneven in some areas.
Adults can bring their children to play, and both adults and children will have a lot of fun. It is impossible to play here in one day. The food inside is relatively expensive, so it is best to bring some food with you. Some areas may be slightly cheaper, but generally it is more expensive than outside. Don't buy raincoats outside, as the water activities inside are all free. When I left, I took a picture of the beautiful sunset, which was very photogenic. It's a pity that I didn't get to play many activities with my baby, but the older children didn't want to leave after having so much fun.

I went on August 13th and waited in line for the cable car for an hour and a half. It was unbearable 😣...
I bought my ticket on Ctrip. Remember, I must go to the cable car ticket window to get my paper ticket before lining up!!!
On a sunny day, the cable car offers a stunning view of Erhai Lake in Dali. There's a very high section, so those afraid of heights should keep their eyes closed.
The one-way trip takes about 15 minutes.
Cangshan Mountain in Dali is so beautiful! The Gantong Cableway is great value for money. Along the way, you can see the Cangshan pine forest and overlook Erhai Lake. It's spectacular! The squirrels on Cangshan Mountain are so fat and love to eat potato chips 😁

[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 ～
Well, the entire Dali Erhai Lake circle is about 80 kilometers long, and you will pass through many ancient towns in the middle, such as Xizhou Ancient Town. At the same time, there will be a lot of people renting cars, and you can also see many luxury cars. But you should pay attention to whether you choose to tour clockwise or counterclockwise. Sometimes, there will be more traffic jams in one direction.

Taiping Lake Forest Town is absolutely stunning, like stepping into a fairytale. My favorite spots are "In the Clouds," "Zixia Lake," and Monet's Garden—every photo is a true masterpiece. Taiping Lake was a truly worthwhile trip to Mile! You can rent electric carts within the scenic area, which is incredibly convenient! The restrooms are also incredibly clean, and the brown sugar ginger tea is incredibly thoughtful and warm!
The park is huge. We rented a four-seater electric car at the starting point. Having a car is great. We wandered around the park. First, we saw the bougainvillea flower wall, then the flower statue of Princess Taiping from a high vantage point. Then we went to the lily field. The fragrance was amazing and beautiful! The lake in the park is very quiet and perfect for lounging. Finally, we went to the desertification area. The cacti, prickly pear, pine trees, and red maple trees were beautiful.

I've also been to Cuihu Park. Most of it feels like any other city park, though there are some traditional Chinese-style buildings, such as the Guanyu Tower. The reflections of the blue sky and white clouds in the pond create a beautiful scene. If you're not in a rush to shop, you can spend half a day here enjoying a cup of tea. It's quite relaxing. Of course, there are also some young women snapping photos to enhance the scenery. There are many ancient ginkgo trees in the park, and it's hard to imagine how beautiful they must be when their leaves are golden.
Cuihu Park is located in the main city of Kunming. The park has beautiful scenery, lush vegetation and shaded trees. In winter, you can see groups of seagulls flying freely in the sky. This is a scene of the park. Of course, the surrounding traffic is also very convenient. Accommodation and eating are also more convenient, you must come to visit Cuihu Park.
