In Tuanjie Township, 20 kilometers away from Kunming, there is an ancient Yi village with a history of nearly 600 years - Leju Village, which can be reached in 40 minutes by car. The entire village is built on the mountain. The houses are mainly made of earth and wood, with gray tiles and mud walls, presenting the most primitive form. The courtyard is a traditional "seal", with a well-arranged complex of buildings, forming a series of mossy stone paths. Walking among them, it feels like traveling through time, making people feel instantly peaceful and leisurely.

There is a parking lot at the entrance of the village, charging 10 yuan for unlimited time; Tickets: Free admission Clothing: National costumes, cheongsams, etc. are all very photogenic

I've wanted to go for a long time and finally made it. The old village has been nicely renovated. It's not too crowded, but it can get a bit crowded on holidays in the small village. Gave up waiting in line at that popular bakery, leaving a little regret for next time.

Wondering around the streets of Xishan District in Kunming, i came across this beautiful Temple know as “Xiyue Temple” 😍 It was under construction as they were setting up an exhibition inside so could only walk around the temple but from what i saw, it’s aesthetically pleasing to the eye with eye catching patterns and designs all over the temple.. You can stand there and just admire the beauty of the architectural structure of the place, the colour scheme and the eye to detail 😍😍 This place hosts various exhibition as it has an exhibition center on the ground floor and the temple is above it.. The have a “Jade Jewellery Store” just at the entrance of the place with some beautifully crafted jade jewelry work but pricey tho 🫣 📍Xiyue Temple, Xishan #staycation #yunnantravel #travel Photography #awesomepic #summervacation
