The scenic area is well-developed with excellent facilities and services. The scenery is absolutely beautiful, and the waterfalls are breathtaking. However, climbing the waterfalls can be challenging for the elderly, so it's best to buy escalator tickets and walk slowly. Don't rush; the scenery needs to be appreciated at your own pace. Bring plenty of water! The only downside is that you have to walk through a sales area to exit.
Even during the dry season, Huangguoshu Waterfall remains magnificent, and Tianxingqiao Scenic Area is truly a must-see. The Silver Chain Waterfall is incredibly photogenic, and we even saw flowers at the Water Curtain Cave! It was definitely worth the trip. Although the walking distance within the scenic area is long, the paths are quite easy to follow, making it effortless even with parents.

The Stone Forest Scenic Area in Kunming mainly includes the Stone Forest Scenic Area, Naigu Stone Forest Scenic Area, Dadieshui Scenic Area, Changhu Scenic Area, and Guishan National Forest Park. Among them, the Stone Forest Scenic Area is the core scenic area, which consists of five sections: the Greater Stone Forest, the Lesser Stone Forest, Wannian Lingzhi, Liziyuanqing, and Bushaoshan.
The unique landscape is worth seeing, but the entrance fee is a bit expensive. It's like a maze inside; if you treat the Greater Stone Forest as a maze, it's quite fun. The Lesser Stone Forest is mainly about the legends and stories. There are many shops nearby, but they're all scams, which is a major downside.

It's beautiful, don't take the cable car unless you just want to experience it. Xishan District is very large, just go to Haigeng Park and the Seven-Arch Floating Bridge. You can visit these two attractions on two separate trips.
The scenery is quite beautiful. It's about 2 kilometers long, with 1 kilometer on Dianchi Lake and the other kilometer or so uphill. The uphill part is a little scary, but overall I would recommend giving it a try.

Good for photo op esp the Kaleidoscope Museum where the bricked amphora-like shaped buildings are. Go around 1pm- - 2pm less crowd as they dispersed for lunch or other activities provided by their tour group.
The iconic red-brick building complex within the scenic area, including the Kaleidoscope Art Museum, the Half-Cloud Artist's Salon, and the Seal Carving Workshop, is incredibly photogenic. Designed by Yunnan artist Luo Xu, these structures are built using local red bricks, without the aid of reinforced concrete. The Kaleidoscope Art Museum, shaped like a wine bottle and a flame, blends the wine culture of Mile with the fire culture of the Yi people. Sunlight filters through the perforated red-brick dome, creating ever-changing light and shadow effects, perfect for taking pictures. The Half-Cloud Artist's Salon, with its exterior resembling a floating cloud, houses a café and restaurant, ideal for a relaxing break.

It's very convenient to drive there; the roads are wide, and the underground parking lot is spacious and easy to park. There's a food street downstairs, and shopping malls are nearby. The rooms are large and clean, and there are many elevators, so even on higher floors, you won't have to wait long. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I would definitely consider coming back again.
I have visited karst caves in many places, including Guangxi, Liaoning, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Hebei, and Chongqing. The Zhijin Cave in Guizhou is the most breathtaking to me. Its landscape is magnificent, with unique shapes, graceful forms, and rare beauty. Wandering amidst the stunning karst scenery, I marvel at the Creator's favor upon Zhijin Cave. In my heart, Zhijin Cave is the "King of Karst Caves."

Hiring a guide for 200 yuan is definitely worth it. The guide will take you on a walk around and will take you to three intangible cultural heritage sites, such as silver jewelry sales, medicinal incense, and tea. You can buy things or not.
The miniature landscape park is quite large; you can easily walk through it in three hours. I recommend going as soon as the park opens, as many shows are combined at the beginning and become more scattered later, making it difficult to see everything. If you're short on time, it's not necessary to force yourself to go.

Yunnan Wildlife Park is located in Jindian National Forest Park, Panlong District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, 7 kilometers from downtown Kunming. Opened to the public on May 1, 2004, the park covers an area of 2,800 mu (approximately 180 hectares) and is a new type of tourist attraction in Yunnan Province, primarily focused on the domestication, breeding, viewing, and display of wild animals, integrating sightseeing, science education, and ex-situ conservation.
This wildlife park is packed with interactive experiences and highly recommended for family trips. Almost all the animals are interactive; you can even pet the gentler ones like the Kapibala. You can feed the large carnivores, especially the bears near the entrance, for which there's a specially built viewing platform. The tigers are also available for feeding, and you can even take photos with the cubs up close. The only downside is the climb; the sightseeing bus only covers about 60% of the route…

The scenic area is uniquely designed, and you can depart by sightseeing bus. The route includes: General Peak, Surrounded by Stars, Beautiful Fields, Bagua Field Viewing Platform, Great Wind, Earth Eye, Sinkhole, Fortune Field, Ethnic Culture Park, Sinkhole, Fried Food Shop, and Nahui Village. You can easily avoid detours while enjoying the peak forest, fields, villages, and cafes. The driver is enthusiastic and attentive, proactively introducing the attractions and local culture, ethnic customs, and delicious food – all in one place!
Wanfenglin is a must-see attraction. We entered the park around 4 PM before sunset, and the scenery was like a traditional Chinese ink painting. We looked at it again and again; its beauty is beyond words. The sightseeing bus was excellent; you could listen to the explanations while stopping at designated points to admire the scenery. It was a very pleasant experience.

Hidden Maitreya Temple in Jinping Mountain
3493 positive reviewsRecently viewed by 1,000+ people
Verified user reviews
Jinping Mountain is located in the southern part of Zhangqiu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, stretching across the border of Wenzu Town and Duozhuang Town. It belongs to the northern foothills of the Taiyi Mountains, covering a total area of approximately 25 square kilometers, with its main peak reaching an altitude of 563.5 meters. It was originally named for its gentle slopes and screen-like vegetation. During the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed from Pingdingshan (平顶山) to its current name.
Located 10 kilometers north of Mile City, it is named for its mountain shape resembling the Maitreya Buddha. Mile Temple was first built in the Song Dynasty.
The open-air Maitreya Buddha statue, 19.99 meters tall, forms a unified cultural landscape with the mountain shape and the temple name. The thousand-year-old terraced fields, century-old tree clusters, and the steps leading up to the mountain are also part of the site, all symbolizing the year 1999 when the temple was completed.

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.
