It's truly a cultural heritage site and well worth a visit. The Hani and Yi people, the indigenous inhabitants, are friendly and down-to-earth. Even in autumn, the scenery is magnificent and pleasant. For meals, all the vegetables are grown by the locals themselves, and are fresh, sweet, and affordable.
You have to go, how can you tell if it's fun here if you don't go and have a look. It's not far away, why not go in and take a look before leaving, right? Go and have a look, maybe it's worth the trip. You have to go, how can you tell if it's fun here if you don't go and have a look.

Come to Kunming to take your kids out and experience the transparent boat of the Dianchi Forest Boat! ! The location is relatively easy to find. The ticket purchase is calculated according to the boat. A boat starts at 5 o'clock for one hour, and can be booked for half an hour after 5 o'clock. I guess it's because I'm about to get off work. Wear a life jacket before getting on the boat. One boat can take two adults, or two adults + a child under 1.2 meters, with two oars. The area is really not too big. If there are few people, it's still good to experience taking pictures. If there are many people, it's crowded + group photos, and the experience will be reduced a lot. It was cloudy on the day I went there, and the photo effect was not very good, but the children were also very happy to experience it.
Haihong Wetland Park is the wetland park closest to the main city of Kunming. It is adjacent to Dianchi Lake and Xishan Mountain, and offers a panoramic view of the lake and mountains. The wetland park is large in area and has beautiful scenery. Birds can be heard everywhere, and flowers are everywhere. There is also a water forest where you can go boating. It is a very satisfying leisure resort!

It is worth going. The plants are quite rich. If you like plants, I strongly recommend buying the ticket for the Fuli Palace. The Fuli Palace is the most satisfying and unforgettable place for children in Kunming. At the entrance of Baicao Garden, I also witnessed a scene of a bumblebee fighting a bee.
The main purpose is to see the azalea exhibition, which is dominated by red, white, purple and pink azaleas. There are not many other varieties. A kind of azalea called Yangchunxue is the most beautiful! There are many other flowers. When you enter the north gate, you can see a bunch of poppies, which are also very bright. There are peonies in Baicao Garden, but not many flowers bloom. There are also foreign peonies. It is worth a visit to see the spring flowers and green trees, which is very pleasant and relaxing.

Baozi, today I must share with you the treasure wetland park I found when I lived in Kunming. It is a national 3A-level tourist attraction. In the many wetland parks I walked around Dianchi Lake, it is the only scenic spot named "national". It is like a pearl hidden next to the city, exudes a unique charm. Every time you walk into it, it seems to step into a dreamy natural kingdom, which makes people intoxicated. The vast area of the fish river wetland park covers more than 700 hectares, and the vast earth is like a green picture. As soon as you enter the park, the dense vegetation comes to your face, and the trees are shaded, as if a huge green umbrella propped up a cool world. On a hot day, as long as you walk in here, the heat dissipates instantly, leaving only a full of peace and comfort. The happiest thing in the park is the children, who play like a group of happy little angels on the beach. The fine sand slipped between their fingers, leaving a string of silver bells laughing, and they were still fishing excitedly by the pond, the focus of a great adventure. But to remind parents, the water here is not very clean, for the health of the children, try not to let them play in the water. In addition to children, this is also a holy place for girls to film. Every corner is like a carefully arranged canvas, and any shot can be beautiful to a new height. The best place to take pictures of the fish river wetland is a row of small beaches along the water of Dianchi Lake. At first glance, it may not have the sensation of a stunning look, but when you pick up the camera and point the lens at it, a picture full of Southeast Asian style will be presented. The Fish River Wetland Park is like a magical place, with beautiful scenery given by nature and a happy atmosphere for parents and children to play. Here, you can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature. Treasures, come to the Yuhe Wetland Park and start your beautiful journey! I believe it will leave you with an unforgettable memory.
This park is free, next to Dianchi Lake, the scenery is very unique. There are many ancient trees that grow by the water, and it is very popular to stand in it to take pictures. There are also flower shows here, and the activities are very rich. Many parents take their children to fish here, which is very interesting. There are also many couples who come here for a walk, comfortable. There is also a food snack street. There are many people and it is very lively. There is an observation deck, you can overlook Dianchi Lake and Haitang Village, and you can watch the sunset in the evening. It is highly recommended to come here to play.

Cuihu Park is located in the main city of Kunming. The park has beautiful scenery, lush vegetation and shaded trees. In winter, you can see groups of seagulls flying freely in the sky. This is a scene of the park. Of course, the surrounding traffic is also very convenient. Accommodation and eating are also more convenient, you must come to visit Cuihu Park.

Black Dragon Pond is located in the north of Kunming City. It is named after the Black Dragon Temple, springs and legends of the Black Dragon in the park. Winter is a good season for plum blossoms. The yellow winter plum blossoms bloom in succession, and the fragrance wafts over. The family can't help but recite a sentence, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold" and "The fragrance floats". Even the children ask everyone to play flying flowers with her. There are many squirrels in the park. Because they are often fed by people, the squirrels are not afraid of people. You will come down to eat immediately after you put food! It looks very cute with two little hands holding cough melon seeds, but it also keeps alert at all times. Once someone suddenly approaches, it will immediately retreat to the tree to observe, and also be alert to the attack of wild cats in the distance. It looks like a survival war in the animal world will be staged at any time. The back mountain is not high, you can take your children to climb up slowly, which is also a workout for children who do not exercise much in the city now. In short, there are few people and the air is good. You can take your children to see plants, climb mountains, feed fish, and it is suitable for strolling!
Walking into Heilongtan Park, it feels like stepping into a quiet and mysterious world. Walking along the bluestone path, you will see towering ancient trees and lush greenery. The clear water reflects the surrounding mountains and trees, like a huge mirror.
In autumn, the maple leaves of Heilongtan gradually turn red, the ginkgo leaves turn yellow, and the colors are intertwined, which is beautiful. The ancient buildings by the pond are solemn and elegant, adding a strong historical atmosphere. Here, you can hear the crisp chirping of birds and feel the gentle breeze on your face. Tourists stroll and enjoy the scenery, or lean on the railing to meditate, all immersed in this picturesque beauty, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the world.

It was unexpectedly good. People on the Internet said it was a bit confusing because the scenic spot was too big, and some people didn't do any strategy or read other people's articles before coming, so they felt that they were blinded when they arrived. In fact, as long as you do a strategy, you will know the fees and locations very clearly, so you won't step on the pits again and again. Sitting on the boat to watch the scenery is beautiful, and the cool breeze is very cool even in this hot August day. It is really a very pleasant trip
"Puzhehei" is a Yi word meaning "lake teeming with fish and shrimp." This karst wetland boasts 54 lakes, 312 isolated peaks, and 83 caves—it's truly breathtaking just to contemplate. The rolling mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and breathtaking cave scenery are truly breathtaking. Board a boat and journey toward the lake, where the scenery and gentle breeze blend seamlessly in the hazy morning light, creating a shimmering, ink-stained scroll. There are even playful water-splashing battles along the way! Climbing nearby Qinglong Mountain offers panoramic views of Puzhehei, which are particularly spectacular at sunset.
The stunning scenery of lakes and mountains is a truly relaxing place worth lingering for a few days!

The lotus flowers were in full bloom; any later would have withered. The Stone Forest is huge. My parents are over 70, so the entrance fee and the sightseeing bus are free. However, the park is so large, and I was worried they might get hungry at noon, so I just visited the Stone Forest and climbed to the pavilion at the top before heading back. As long as they don't have any regrets, that's fine.
Kunming Stone Forest, with its array of bizarre peaks and jagged rocks, resembles a work of nature. A stroll through it offers a breathtaking view, like being transported to a magical wonderland. It's a truly memorable experience, a truly memorable experience.

The Dongfengyun Scenic Area is worth visiting. It is very photogenic. You can check in and take photos from time to time. You can also eat and drink coffee in the scenic area. The prices are relatively affordable and not outrageous. Overall, I am satisfied and will recommend it to my friends and family to visit.
Located in Mile City, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, Dongfengyun Art Town is a unique town built around art and grape culture, integrating natural beauty, and cultural tourism. Known as the "Provence" of central Yunnan, the Dongfengyun scenic area boasts a vast landscape, with the Kaleidoscope Art Museum at its core.

The most beautiful lake on Earth, rivaling Sayram Lake.
Yunnan people sold Erhai Lake to outsiders and kept Fuxian Lake for themselves.
I've visited both Sayram Lake and Fuxian Lake, and they truly share the same beauty, yet distinct styles.
Furthermore, Fuxian Lake holds an extremely important position in Yunnan's ancient life history. Those interested in archaeology and geology should explore it carefully.
Fuxian Lake has been quite popular in recent years. Real estate tycoons have long surrounded the area, building numerous health and wellness projects. I wonder how sales are performing now.
The overall environment is quite pleasant, with mountains and water, the hills covered with tobacco trees, and a small temple overlooking the lake.
There are many farmhouses near the lake, and the fish is excellent and spicy.
