The service is very good, Li Dao is very patient, the introduction is in place, the route planning is particularly good, and I saw the shock of Huangguoshu Waterfall! After climbing the mountain, my knee hurt, Li Dao also gave seedling medicine, and the effect was immediately seen with a little.
Very good, good-looking, very shocking to see, a feeling that can't be said, can only say that our China is really big and beautiful, so beautiful, beautiful mountains and clear waters, I feel that the whole person is fresh, and I will come back later, hahahaha

The scenery in Kunming is very beautiful. It is very shocking to take in the beautiful scenery while taking a tunnel above Dianchi Lake! There is a tourist center at the top of the mountain. The snacks there are also very good and cheap. The slope of Longmen is very steep and the trail is very narrow. My feet were a little bit out of control when I went down the mountain! I took the cable car back to Haigeng Dam to enjoy the breeze and walk around the river. I felt very comfortable. Unfortunately, the seagulls have already returned to Siberia! I will come again next time!
The cable car water surface is 1000 meters, the mountain is 1000 meters, and the round-trip ticket is bought. You can see the scenery of Dianchi Lake in the cable car. I personally think it is quite suitable. We arrived at about 2:30 in the afternoon. There were a lot of people watching the queue. I was afraid that I could not catch up at 5:30 before the shift was closed. Later, I found that I didn’t have to worry about it. I visited Xishan Longmen Scenic Area and came back very rich.

Highly recommend here, really good, there are many ethnic minority villages here, I remember it seems to be 26, and there are singing performances, the environment is good. I didn't find a tour guide, but I still recommend finding a tour guide to take it or better.
The lives of all the famous ethnic groups in the village are here, and they are all over the place. There are 56 famous ethnic groups. Yunnan is the most ethnic minority. Every famous ethnic group here sings and dances. Life is delicious and not shy at all.

Personally feel that it is the most worth going to Maitreya. Lavender Manor and kaleidoscope building are definitely the first choice for taking pictures and punching in. The scenic area is relatively large, and it is relatively convenient to take a battery car. You can buy round-trip tickets, and you can get off and take the scenic spot.
It is a kaleidoscope, the scenic spot is very large, but the sightseeing car will be there for a while, the ticket + shuttle bus is 100 yuan per person, it is expensive, maybe because the scenic spot is too big to need maintenance

If the full score is five stars, then Yunnan Wildlife Park definitely deserves an extra "surprise star"! This is a paradise for family travel and nature lovers, and it is also a great place for city people to escape the hustle and bustle and embrace the wild. From the moment you step into the park, it's like entering a natural secret full of vitality, and every step hides unexpected encounters! The staff will guide you in a safe way to interact, which is both fun and educational. The route is well designed, and the whole walk is easy and stress-free. Families with children can rent strollers. The dining area provides Yunnan snacks and simple meals with transparent prices. It is recommended to try the special rice noodles! Washbasins and rest pavilions can be seen everywhere, and the toilets are clean and odorless, and the parent-child friendliness is full.
Yunnan Wildlife Park is very large. There are many types of animals in the wild environment. It is very good to play. It saves a lot of effort. You must buy a ticket for the battery car. The weather is very good. It is suitable for playing and hanging out.

be ready to hike if you want to visit all the sights. It’s all well worth it when you reach the peak to overview the city in the distance. The temples sprinkled along the way provide a peaceful atmosphere to relax.
The scenery is very beautiful and it is worth a visit. From the dam to the Xishan, the closed cable car is open. The view on the right is great, but it will be a little afraid of heights. It will be better to sit on the right. It is not high from the ground.

It's worth a visit. The ticket is valid for several days. You can buy a sightseeing car on the first day and take pictures from the halfway point of the mountain. If you are not satisfied with the photos on the second day, you can walk again. The distance from the halfway point of the mountain is not long, so you can go there by yourself. If you go there on May Day, the rape flowers are gone. It is best to go before Qingming or in July and August, but there will be too many people at that time. In the afternoon, if you are tired of walking, go to the foot of the mountain for a cup of coffee, and go to Jiangjun Peak on the way back to eat egg fried rice. PS: Wanfenglin's prices are really reasonable. All stores have a unified price of 12 for egg fried rice. Renting a car is about 30 to 40 yuan a day, and you can bargain. Suitable for a two-day leisure tour
Don't go to Wanfenglin on May 1st! There is no golden yellow when rape blossoms are like paintings and the green when rice is planted. The scenery is greatly discounted. Students go to Wanfenglin tickets are free of charge, but they have to complain about Trip.com . The information provided above is wrong. I bought the tickets online in advance. I found that students were free of ticket after I arrived at the scenic spot. After contacting customer service to communicate, they verified the situation before giving me a refund. This process is really a bit tossing. I hope Trip.com can update the scenic spot information in a timely and accurate manner, don't affect the mood of playing!

The old-fashioned train made some noise while running. It passed a large lotus pond along the way. It would be more beautiful if the lotus was in bloom. We returned to the departure station at 2 pm. It was a relaxing trip, very suitable for children and the elderly. The train service was also very good. The details of each stop were clearly stated.
Personally feel that it is worth experiencing, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. The small train passes through Shuanglong Bridge, Xianghui Bridge and Tuanshan Village, and the whole journey is more than 4 hours. It is difficult to buy holiday tickets and you need to grab tickets in advance.

OK, the scenic spot is not big, but the big Buddha is to Maitreya must come to worship, climbing the mountain is piety, the whole scenic spot is at the highest point of Maitreya, the scenery is still very good, the vegetarian is not bad, you can consider eating a meal at noon is still good
Come to Maitreya and not to Jinping Mountain always feel the shortcomings, after all, Maitreya Buddha is on the top of the mountain! But the 1999 steps will be a little tired, it is good to walk slowly without hurry, on the mountain can also overlook the mountains and fields in the distance; In addition, there is fast food to eat in the scenic area, but you have to go early, and there may be not many choices when you are late.
