The scenery is so beautiful, the photos taken are like paintings, the weather was also good that day, and I was told by a chartered car from Nanning that the whole way was filled with sugarcane and banana trees, and the mountains were shapes I had never seen before. The only thing that was a bit difficult was that the stairs were too high, and it might be a bit difficult for the elderly with poor legs and feet, especially young children.
Detian Transnational Waterfall, as the largest transnational waterfall in Asia, its magnificent landscape is shocking. The sound of the waterfall is thunderous, the water mist is filled, and the sun shines, forming a beautiful rainbow. Standing in front of the waterfall, you will be impressed by its grandeur, lamenting the magic of nature.

If you like to see stones, you can come here, shale, sedimentary rock, karst landform. But if you don't have a special interest in stone landscape, you will be bored. The scenic area is very large and it is very tiring. There are many people.

It's okay to check in and feel it. The cable car is relatively fast and a little exciting, but after going up, you can check in at the Nie Er Museum and the Art Museum. There are no places with much experience. If you take your children to check in and feel it, it's okay.
Well, we only enjoyed the 15 minutes on the cable car (50 for one way, 100 for round trip). Going up the mountain and entering the scenic area is another charge, except for the Nie Er scenic spot which is free. We just took the round trip cable car, and I felt that the cost-effectiveness was not high.

As the top-ranked scenic spot in Mile, it's quite good. While it can get quite crowded during peak season, the area is well-managed, with plenty of sightseeing buses and no lines. However, there were a few loud ticket sellers at the visitor center, confusing visitors and leaving them stranded. The parking lot is also quite limited, with people constantly being told to park on both sides and then back again. Traffic jams are severe at the entrance, and management needs improvement.
It was okay, but it was too hot when we went there at noon. It would be better to go in the morning or evening. Three hours is enough. It is a park with several special art buildings and seasonal flower fields. The 80 yuan ticket is a bit expensive.

Here, the classic attractions of the entire Yunnan ethnic minority are integrated together. Tourists who do not have enough time to play all the classics can go to the Yunnan Ethnic Village to experience it and understand the customs and practices of the Yunnan ethnic minorities. It is worth visiting.
The weather in Kunming is really great. It doesn't feel hot at all. The scenery in the scenic area is very beautiful. It's very photogenic. There are not many people. The experience is very good. It is next to Dianchi Lake and can be arranged in one day.

The guide sister was very enthusiastic, patiently explained to the children, picked up on time, and drove very steadily. During the entire hiking process, she helped take care of the elderly and children. The route she led was very beautiful, with waterfalls and wilderness kitchens. Everyone had a great time
Overall, it's worth a visit. The circulation is well-designed, and you don't have to go back and forth. The downside is that the fees for various interactive activities are quite high. For 30 yuan to feed a raccoon, you only get a few pieces of ham, barely enough to cover the bottom of the cup. There aren't many different animals, but they're all in decent condition.

The scenery of Xishan is really nice. Dianchi Lake is really beautiful when viewed from the mountain. However, there are many people during holidays. In addition, the Longmen Cableway is under reconstruction, so you can only take the scenic area's electric car to go to the Longmen Scenic Area.
Xishan Scenic Area is a very cost-effective scenic spot with a pleasant environment. It is not tiring to walk up the mountain. You can take pictures while walking. The scenery is very good. The view of Dianchi Lake from the mountain is very beautiful.

The waterfalls here have a large drop. I think Wanma Pentium Waterfall is more spectacular than Huangguoshu Waterfall, but the waterfalls here all have a large vertical drop, while Huangguoshu has a variety of waterfalls. Compared to the huge crowds at Huangguoshu, I think this experience is better.
This is a fantastic attraction. While you can enjoy the stunning canyon views from the bridge for free, walking inside is the only way to truly experience its beauty up close!
Xingyi's beauty far exceeded our expectations!

There are many people, there is a big Maitreya Buddha statue, there are shuttle buses to get on and off, but the scenic area is relatively large, there are Buddha's hands and pagodas, but you need to walk there, overall it is good and worth a visit!
The air is very good, and you can see the beautiful scenery from a high vantage point. When you climb the stairs, your whole body and mind are relaxed and carefree. When you pray around the Buddha statue, your soul is purified and everything goes smoothly!

The entire Tongling Grand Canyon is lush with lush forests and medicinal plants! The oxygen level is incredibly high! It requires a lot of hiking, including many stairs. We walked a lot, but the air was so fresh! I felt completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire walk, not feeling tired at all! At the end is the Tongling Waterfall, which I personally found to be incredibly beautiful and spectacular! It's so high and majestic! You absolutely have to walk inside to the Water Curtain Cave!!! Finally, we hiked back to the entrance and took a seven- to eight-minute tourist minibus for ten yuan per person to the exit, which is also the entrance.
I personally think it's quite fun. There are caves and waterfalls, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. It's not as bad as it looks, especially with children. It's worth seeing. The waterfall is also very nice. The whole two-hour hike is worth bringing a raincoat, as you will get wet in the waterfall and cave, and it will be drenched in rain the whole time.
