I went there with my brothers. The mountain is very pretty even with the bad weather. The spectacle was not the best, but it was ok.
I waited for some time to be able to book for the date that I wanted to visit the snow mountain. But I’m glad that the customer service on trip was able to answer some of my questions and the booking and communication was smooth 👍 after booking the tickets, we need to add the Lijiang ticket operator on WeChat and the timings are all given the day before the date of our trip. All scanned using a QR code which was easy to use! 😊👍

It is an old scenic spot with concentrated attractions. It is not tiring to visit. The Stone Forest has beautiful scenery and is known as "God's Bonsai". Kunming Stone Forest is the essence of the world's karst landforms and the hometown of China's Ashima. It is a must-visit attraction in Kunming, but it is far from the city and taxis are expensive. It is convenient to take public transportation. You can take a bus from Kunming East Bus Station to the Stone Forest Scenic Area. The fare is 30 yuan per person. The bus runs once an hour. You can buy tickets on site or in advance on the official account of the bus station. There is a handling fee of 3 yuan for buying tickets on the official account. The return trip is at the tourist bus station at the entrance of the scenic spot. This ticket is a transportation ticket, divided into two sections. After getting off the highway in the first section, all get off, and then directly transfer to the bus to the scenic spot.
The Stone Forest Scenic Area is divided into the Big Stone Forest Scenic Area and the Small Stone Forest Scenic Area. There are many large stones of various kinds in the Stone Forest of the Big Stone Forest Scenic Area, which is like walking in a maze and is very interesting.

The easiest way to go up Xishan Mountain is fast, the ride is stable, and the view is good. You can get to the entrance of the scenic area directly after getting off the cable car. It is still recommended.
Riding the Kunming Dianchi Lake Cableway is an unforgettable experience. First of all, the exterior design of the cableway is very modern and colorful, which leaves a deep impression. During the ride, the view is wide and you can see the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake, especially at sunset, the scenery is even more beautiful. At the same time, the operation of the cableway is very smooth, making people feel comfortable and safe. In general, the Kunming Dianchi Lake Cableway not only provides an excellent sightseeing experience, but also ensures the safety and comfort of passengers. For those who like high-altitude sightseeing, this is definitely a recommended choice.

Some scenery needs to be viewed by yourself, and the pictures are always almost meaningless. Ticket 45, I bought escalator 70 (4 escalators, the vertical height is about 100M Yes, there are elderly children and high anti-responsive personnel recommended to buy)
Tiger Leaping Gorge, as the first Grand Canyon of the Yangtze River, has become a magnificent business card in Yunnan and even China with its majestic and steep natural landscape and deep cultural heritage. The vertical height difference of the canyon is 3900 meters. The Jinsha River is squeezed by the two snow-capped mountains of Yulong and Haba, forming the narrowest rapids and dangerous beaches of only 30 meters. The legend of the tiger jumping stone in the heart of the river adds mystery. During the rainy season, the river water roared and the waves were like thousands of horses, shocking people. Tiger Leaping Gorge is not only a natural wonder, but also a paradise for hiking lovers. Its high road hiking line is known as "one of the world's top ten classic hiking routes", along the way can enjoy the multiple magnificent snow-capped mountains, canyons and rapids.

All kinds of ethnic minority buildings have everything. You don’t have to go to other places. You can feel the customs of various ethnic minorities in Yunnan in a place in Kunming, and there are regular performances that are worth watching. The performances of the Yi people are most recommended. The ladies are very beautiful. It is a great experience.
Very pleasant place, the tour guide explained that it felt very interesting, the scenery was delicious, the tea was delicious, the tea was chatting, it was very comfortable. There were 26 resident ethnic groups in Yunnan. The language and clothing of ethnic minorities had different beliefs, but they lived in harmony with the geographical environment.

The early morning Wuhu is a clear cold wind on the side of the face, a low smog in the snowy mountains in the distance, a sloppy pig trough boat, a "water-based Yanghua" full of lakes, a golden light rising slowly against a dark cloud.
The weather is good, you must go to the Goddess Mountain of Gem. The ropeway is open and the wind is very comfortable, especially when you go down the mountain and face the lake from the height to enjoy the lake view. The Goddess Cave above is too strange, and there is free explanation.

Maitreya is located in the middle of the city, and the scenery here is unique. I visited Dongfengyun Art Town, a complex that combines ecological agriculture, art culture and leisure and vacation health. Since its establishment in 2014, the town has developed into a modern agricultural resort of 4A class covering lavender manor, wine manor, artist manor and other formats. Here, people can enjoy the fun of high-end leisure and health.
The environment of the scenic spot is very clean and tidy and well maintained. Walking in it makes people feel happy, as if they are in a fairyland. ""The activities in this scenic spot are varied and I participated in many interesting tours and experience projects, which were full and enjoyable. ""The scenic spots in the scenic area are reasonably distributed, it is very convenient to walk around, and there is also a transportation for tourists to choose from. ""I enjoyed the beauty of nature in this scenic spot Li, breathe fresh air, relax, and have a precious memory."

It has been raining in Dali, but it stops after a while. Three hours is enough for the Gantong Cableway. There is a section where you need to climb a mountain. The scenery is actually average. The ticket price is moderate. If it is not raining, I would recommend the Zhonghe Cableway.
The Grand Canyon has dried up. There is no water. The suspension bridge is dilapidated and has not been repaired. You can only visit a little bit of the scenic area. You can't see many beautiful scenery from the observation deck. The plank road is broken. Many intersections are blocked. Some places on the stone steps are dilapidated and cannot be walked. The cable car can barely be used. You can see a little bit of beautiful scenery. The tour time is very short. Two hours is enough. It is not tiring. It is cool and comfortable inside. The vegetation is dense and there are many varieties. There are many kinds of food in the plateau area. There are many small animals such as golden pheasants, squirrels, many birds, and red pandas.

Winter mist on Shudu Lake

It is indeed worthy of the name of the first national park, and the scenery is beautiful. However, the Bita Lake inside is closed due to ecological adjustments. This is understandable, but we should have been reminded by platforms such as Ctrip or Gaode. We were a little disappointed to find that we could not visit it when we went there.
Pure Land Pudacuo
We set off in the early morning, the plateau was freezing cold, and there were still stars hanging outside the car window. Finally, we walked into Pudacuo, and it was like stepping into the threshold of the world beyond the earth - Shudu Lake was like a huge silver plate inlaid with turquoise, lying quietly among the fir forests. The morning mist was like solidified milk, gently entwining the lake and mountains like a Hada; the tall fir trees were like silent sentinels, and their dark figures were reflected in the clear water.
The deeper we went, the Militang grassland gradually spread under our feet, like a huge green carpet embroidered with wild flowers, dense and soft. The grass leaves held the silver coins of dewdrops, and the green was full of water, so full that it was about to drip down. Bita Lake is even more profound, with the lake water changing from blue to green, floating with the strange legend of the myth of the azalea intoxicating fish - the petals of the azalea fall on the lake, as if a lake of fine wine is brewed, the fish sip and get tipsy, floating and swaying, floating and sinking in time, as if falling into a dream. The prayer flags flutter in the wind. For thousands of years, the wind horse flags have been chanting blessings for people over and over again, as if even the grass, trees, mountains and rocks have heard this silent scripture.
People who have been trapped in the hustle and bustle of the siege for a long time, once they step into this place, their hearts become a washed glass world. There is no place in Pudacuo that is not beautiful, and there is no time that is not quiet. Nature is like an invisible hand, filtering out the noise and returning us a spiritual pure land.
When you are tired, find a wooden house to rest and drink a sip of hot butter tea. The warm warmth quietly enters the heart from the throat, and the fragrance of tea rises, seemingly entwined with the scent of snow-capped mountains in the distance and blue waves nearby, and finally blends into the unique mellow taste of the plateau - it turns out that the comfort of nature must eventually sink slowly into the depths of the soul through the perception of the body, and build a fortress against the hustle and bustle of the world in silence.

Lijiang Qianguqing Scenic Area is a treasure! Not only are the performances wonderful, but there are also a variety of intangible cultural heritage experience projects that both adults and children can enjoy. Especially when you bring your children here, they can not only learn traditional cultural knowledge, but also experience making handicrafts by themselves, which is really entertaining! Our children had a lot of fun on this trip and gained a lot!
It's worth seeing. The performance combines the history of Lijiang with high-tech stage design. The stage can be ridden in the rain. The actors are very professional! The actors on and off the stage are elusive and the planning is great!
