Baishuitai, the Chinese version of Cotton Castle

A fairyland on earth | Baishuitai, China's Cotton Castle Baishuitai, similar to the Turkish tourist attraction Cotton Castle, is a natural wonder formed by calcium carbonate dissolved in spring water. The white stone steps are stacked layer upon layer, like a white terrace. Under the sunlight, the water surface reveals different colors, really like a fairyland, where you can feel the magic and beauty of nature. This is the birthplace of the Dongba religion of the Naxi people and a sacred place for the Naxi people. Every year on the eighth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the Naxi people will hold sacrificial activities in Baishuitai. 📷Baishuitai is a very suitable place for taking pictures, and it is best to have aerial photography to capture the panorama. Bright clothes are more noticeable when aerial photography, and plain clothes are more fresh when taking close-ups. 📌Tips: 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself, two hours drive from Dukezong Ancient City. There are also buses available. 🎫Ticket: 30 🐎: There are many locals pulling horses at the foot of the mountain, 50 yuan to the top of the mountain, 10 yuan can only walk for five minutes. It's still a bit high to climb up. ✈️: If you have a drone, be sure to bring it, the scenery is completely different. ❕Note to walk on the artificial trail, do not damage the natural stone steps.
