20℃ Summer! I found a breathing primeval forest in Yunnan

The most beautiful hiking trail I've ever walked! 💚 When the city is shrouded in a 40℃ heatwave🔥 Quickly save this "Summer Escape Plan" 🍃 In the folds of the mountains in western Yunnan, I found the "natural air conditioner" that Earth has gifted to humanity❄️ A summer paradise with an average temperature of 20°C, hiding a breathing primeval forest, a jade carpet woven with moss, ancient trees supporting a green dome🌳 Every breath here is a blast of 98% negative oxygen ions! 📍 Scenic spot address: Jinshan Primeval Forest Scenic Area, Yuxi City, Yunnan 🎫 Ticket information: 10 RMB/person (super cost-effective!) 🚗 Transportation: · About 4 hours driving from Kunming · High-speed rail to Huanian Station, then about 2 hours by taxi 🕒 Opening hours: 8:00-18:00 🌿【Recommended hiking route】: Bluestone trail → Malu Valley stream → Squirrel Forest → 2483m Viewing Platform → Hundred Birds Forest → Tea Horse Ancient Road ruins About 2 kilometers in total, takes 3-4 hours (slow walk + photography) 📸 🎒【Essential gear list】: 👟❶ Non-slip hiking shoes (important❗️ many slippery sections) 👕❷ Quick-dry clothes + windbreaker (20°C temperature difference, bring raincoat in rainy season) 🩹❸ First aid kit (key point!) · Mupirocin ointment (original domestic product, same as on variety shows! Small and very portable, essential for wound sterilization) · Mosquito repellent (many mosquitoes in the forest🦟 ointment can also be used after bites) 💊 Others: drinking water + energy snacks (to replenish energy in time) 🏡【Accommodation recommendation】: "Shuji Mountain Lodge" right next to the scenic area, a secret homestay hidden in the forest, sleep in a natural oxygen bar, wake up to a view full of green💚
