The lotus flowers were in full bloom; any later would have withered. The Stone Forest is huge. My parents are over 70, so the entrance fee and the sightseeing bus are free. However, the park is so large, and I was worried they might get hungry at noon, so I just visited the Stone Forest and climbed to the pavilion at the top before heading back. As long as they don't have any regrets, that's fine.
Kunming Stone Forest, with its array of bizarre peaks and jagged rocks, resembles a work of nature. A stroll through it offers a breathtaking view, like being transported to a magical wonderland. It's a truly memorable experience, a truly memorable experience.

We arrived at the scenic spot at 10 am and finished the tour of the east and west areas at around 4 pm. The journey was moderate and we were able to see a variety of rainforest plants. The tour guide was very serious in his explanation and was very enthusiastic in helping us take photos along the way. I learned a lot! It is recommended to bring an umbrella and a water bottle with you, as there will be alternating sunshine and showers at any time (big snails will appear after the rain).
This time I came to Xishuangbanna, I had been thinking about going to the Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It did not disappoint me. There are many kinds of plants and the scenery is beautiful. It is definitely worth visiting.

The scenery on the mountain is particularly beautiful, and there are various seasonal flowers. There is an ancient temple on the mountain, and there are kittens, birds, squirrels and other animals everywhere.
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.

The Dongfengyun Scenic Area is worth visiting. It is very photogenic. You can check in and take photos from time to time. You can also eat and drink coffee in the scenic area. The prices are relatively affordable and not outrageous. Overall, I am satisfied and will recommend it to my friends and family to visit.
Located in Mile City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, Dongfengyun Art Town is a unique town built around art and grape culture, integrating natural beauty, and cultural tourism. Known as the "Provence" of central Yunnan, the Dongfengyun scenic area boasts a vast landscape, with the Kaleidoscope Art Museum at its core.

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...

Our guide, Mu Layou, was fantastic! He took us on a whirlwind of fun, including eating wild fruits and sour ants. He was incredibly strong, lifting us high and pushing us back down on the swings each time. It was incredibly thrilling. Afterward, he immediately arranged for us to eat. The barbecue, chicken, and fish were all delicious. It was a truly special experience!
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and discover nature on a hike in the Jinuo Mountain rainforest.
The total distance is 5 kilometers, 2 kilometers by land and 3 kilometers by water.
Along the way, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the rainforest's flora, fauna, environment, and ways of life.
Dressed in a "savage costume," we experienced rainforest river tracing, high-altitude swings, tree abseiling, archery, and a rainforest feast, including sour ants and wild Sanya fruit (Banna's version of mangosteen).
For families with young children (under 10 years old), we recommend booking a private tour with an experienced indigenous guide, who can provide one-on-one support for the children.

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!

It's a great place to see downtown Kunming and Dianchi Lake. The facilities are excellent, with electric cars, buses, and cable cars available for your convenience. You'll find the stupa and memorial hall of Master Xuyun. Both Huating Temple and Taihua Temple are worth a visit. The Longmen Gate hike is challenging, but well worth it. The forests are lush and the air is fresh.
Finally climbed the West Mountain and had a great view of the Dianchi Lake from a high place. It was easy to go up and down the mountain by sightseeing bus. In addition to Longmen, there were 2 or 3 stops on the way to get on and off, which was convenient for visiting temples near the stops.

Hidden Maitreya Temple in Jinping Mountain

The main attraction of Jinping Mountain is to see the world's largest Maitreya Buddha and Buddha's hand. There are 1,999 steps, and you will see the 19.99-meter-tall Maitreya Laughing Buddha nestled among the lush trees of Jinping Mountain. This is also the world's largest laughing Buddha.
It's really convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip. You can use them right away. The scenery of Jinping Mountain is quite nice, and the Big Buddha is also quite spectacular. It's best to buy a package ticket, take a bus up the mountain, and walk down the mountain. Climbing more than 1,000 steps is quite tiring, especially for the elderly.
