I wanted to buy tickets for the glacier cable car, but it was sold out on the official website, so I had to buy a package deal on Ctrip. It wasn't too bad, though I was a little disappointed not to see the sunrise over the snow-capped peaks. They picked up three groups of people and took us to a place to buy oxygen. They tried to convince us as soon as we got on the bus that it was useless, and the kids got anxious, so we had to buy it and carry it back by hand. The Impression Lijiang tour was also a rip-off; it was outdoors, and we were practically dried out by the sun. We also rushed through Blue Moon Valley to make the most of the time. The snow-capped mountains are worth climbing, and Blue Moon Valley is definitely worth visiting—it's breathtaking!
Great natural landscape. Cable Cars are not clean, dirty glass windows, make difficult to see beautiful view outside.

It's worth visiting, very good. There are fewer people this season. There are no refreshment points inside the scenic area, only automatic water vending machines at the entrance; there are none in other areas. I suggest adding more refreshment points. Abandoned facilities should be removed promptly, such as abandoned emergency telephones. Also, the scenic area's signage system is inadequate, the stones are far apart, and lack interest. The Stone Forest's charm relies on imagination; if the stones in front of visitors were displayed with more visually appealing signs, visitors would linger longer.
Worth a visit, the karst landscape is quite unique. The route is very complex, and surprisingly, there's no panoramic map, and the signage for attractions is minimal.
I don't think it's necessary to hire a guide at the entrance. Most guides, to save time, only take you along the main route, skipping all the side paths. You can actually explore on your own at your own pace; it's not complicated. The trick is to just follow the man-made paths, and you'll be fine.

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.
The hotel boasts a great location, just a two-minute walk from Haigeng Park. The staff are courteous, attentive, and professional. Nestled amidst mountains and water, the hotel is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The hotel itself features charming bridges, flowing water, and meticulously maintained vegetation, creating picturesque views at every turn. The rooms are well-equipped, with separate shower and toilet areas, and thoughtful touches throughout – a true four-star hotel. Special thanks to Manager Li at the front desk for recommending and assisting us with our upgrade to a private hot spring lake-view king room, which was absolutely wonderful!

Dongfengyun is named after Dongfeng Farm. There's a historical exhibition inside that's worth visiting. It would be very beautiful during the flower season, but by early November there aren't many flowers left. Honestly, the 80 yuan entrance fee isn't really worth it.
I took different friends to Dongfengyun three times in one year, so I really enjoyed it! For some reason, the electric car station in the park is now far away, not at the park entrance. You have to walk to the other side of the lake (the other side in Figure 4) and back. And you don't pass by other attractions; you travel completely outside the scenic area! I chose an electric car with the elderly because it would be easier, but it turned out to be worse than walking around the park! So I recommend that young people just walk, or ask where the pick-up point is when buying an electric car ticket!

The scenery at Tiger Leaping Gorge is undeniably beautiful, though the sightseeing elevator at 70 yuan is a bit pricey. The most unacceptable thing was the parking lot; it was full of pebbles. Given the significant annual ticket revenue, couldn't they allocate some of that money to repair the parking lot? The on-site guides were also inadequate. It was chaotic. There were also a bunch of scalpers offering to drive into the scenic area without queuing. It was so obvious on the way to the scenic area, why couldn't they do anything about it? Or do they have some kind of corrupt relationship with the local management? Thankfully, the shuttle bus within the scenic area is free.

The view from the mountaintop was decent, but the staff at the Zhonghe cable car station were incredibly rude. We came here to have fun, not to owe them money. Who are they trying to fool with their attitude? I suggest they make improvements.
The facilities are complete, the environment is nice, clean and hygienic, the service is good, and it's convenient to go anywhere. The surrounding environment is also very good. The cleanliness and hygiene are excellent, suitable for travel and business trips!

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.
The park is huge! It's best to plan your time in advance. You can also take a sightseeing bus; the driver will take you around the park and direct you to the corresponding area based on the free performance times for different tribes and ethnic groups. This visit taught me a lot about the different ethnic groups! Highly recommended! I suggest bringing children.

The journey from Lijiang to Lugu Lake was quite long, but the moment I saw the lake, it was all worth it! It truly deserves its reputation as a pearl of the plateau, and was the most memorable highlight of our Yunnan trip. Even now, more than a month after returning, I often think of the azure lake and the beautiful sky—a sight I'll never want to leave!
This is my third trip to Lugu Lake. The first time was in 2016, alone; the second time was with colleagues. Nine years later, I'm going again, and the lake scenery is still the same—very peaceful, with excellent water quality. This time, I'm with my wife. We spent two days at Lugu Lake, enjoying a pleasant drive around the lake. Waking up in the morning, we could see the beautiful scenery. The overall ecological environment is excellent, although some attractions are still underdeveloped. I hope to have the opportunity to go again sometime.

The autumn colors were beautiful, but we didn't have enough time to see everything. The ticket price felt a bit expensive, especially considering we had just visited Baishuitai; the contrast was too stark. 😀
Pudacuo National Park is located in Hongpo Village, Jiantang Town, Shangri-La City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is a 5A-level tourist attraction. Major attractions include Shudu Lake and Bita Lake. The park boasts beautiful scenery, clear blue skies, alpine meadows, and geological landscapes, making it a popular summer retreat.

Ha superado mis expectativas. El área escénica es preciosa. Merece la pena totalmente. Es muy grande, más de lo que esperaba. Muchos templos con jardines. Las pagodas impresionantes. Desgraciadamente una pagoda estaba en obras, aun así, la visita fue maravillosa. La recomiendo totalmente
The only 5A scenic area in Dali, a royal temple. A must-see in Dali. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating; it rained the whole time, so I didn't get to take any pictures of Cangshan Mountain. The exit layout of the scenic area is not very reasonable; I walked a lot of unnecessary paths.
