The weather in Jiangchuan tonight
When many people hear about Yunnan, they will think of Lijiang and Dali, or Kunming and Xishuangbanna. The most visited places are Cangshan Erhai Lake, Yulong Snow Mountain, Dianchi Lake, Banna and so on. In fact, there is another place in Yunnan called Yuxi, where there is Fuxian Lake, which is full of colorful glass, and Ailao Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles. In late April, I spent 10 days in Yuxi, exploring the scenic spots that were slightly "low-key and niche", and finally found that Yuxi was so beautiful. (This is a comprehensive strategy, and it is recommended to read it after collection. )
Yuxi is located in the middle of Yunnan Province, which governs 9 county-level administrative divisions, and its terrain is mainly mountainous.
Recommended location 1: Fuxian Lake
Fuxian Lake is located in the northeast of Yuxi, which is wide in the north and narrow in the south, and it is about 90 kilometers around the lake. Most of the northern part belongs to Chengjiang City, including Li Chang Village, Luchong Scenic Area, Hongshanzui Powder Beach, Guanglong Town, Sakura Valley, Moon Bay and Taiyangshan Town. There is a small area in the southeast of Huaning County, mainly Haikou Village and Haijing Village. The southwest and south of the lake belong to Jiangchuan District, including Luju Town, Xingkong Town and Gushan Scenic Area.
Luchong Scenic Area is an old scenic spot in Fuxian Lake, with admission fee of 15 yuan/person. There are relatively many tourists here, but you can still find many places to take pictures.
The average depth of Fuxian Lake is close to 90 meters, and the deepest depth reaches 150 meters. The lake looks blue. Because the water quality is well protected, the lake on the shore is very clear.
In Luchong, many tourists will choose to take a boat and drive to a place closer to the center of the lake. As you can see from here, there stands a hill on the shore, that is Bijia Mountain.
July-August is the tourist season of Fuxian Lake, and summer belongs to the rainy season in Yunnan, and the weather changes rapidly. It is this change that makes more clouds appear in the sky, and the film is very beautiful.
On Bijia Mountain, you can see a beach in the distance, called Boxiwan, and the high mountain in the distance is called Jianshan.
The puppy on the beach seems to want to swim in the water, too.
From west to north, you can go to another online celebrity punching point, which is the online celebrity beach in Hongshanzui.
There are also some beaches in Guanglong Town, but the sand is not as beautiful as the color of Hongshanzui. I mistakenly thought that I was cheated by Tik Tok. In fact, the scenery here is still very good. If I come in the morning and evening, it will be less hot and more comfortable.
Hongshanzui is not a scenic spot yet, and there is no charge at present. You can also see the Jianshan Mountain in the distance from here.
Due to the hot weather near noon, I gave up my outdoor trip to Sakura Valley and Moon Bay. After the break, I went to Sun Mountain Town, another scenic spot among network celebrities.
In addition to the free parking lot, there is also a circular square on the mountain, and there may be activities and performances on holidays.
There are many famous hotels here, such as Hilton, and restaurants with swimming pools.
Sun Mountain Town is a very good tourist destination. Those with better conditions can choose the hotel here. There are not many people here at present, but the conditions are good.
There is also a good place to take pictures. Choose a night, and you can come here to watch the beautiful sunset. It's called Xi 'an Club. At present, you can visit for free, but you are not allowed to take pictures with SLR cameras indoors.
Next, walking south along the east bank of the lake, you will pass by a place called Haijing Village. The lake here is very clear, and many local villagers will come out to rest and enjoy the cool at night.
At night, drive to the observation deck in Daheishan (the road is difficult to walk, and the uphill road is narrow and steep, which is not recommended by novices), and watch a sunset in Fuxian Lake halfway up the mountain.
Daheishan already belongs to Huaning boundary. Due to the time schedule, we didn't reach the top of the mountain in time.
Further south, you can go to a resort that is being vigorously developed: starry town.
The cliff top park in the starry town can be reserved for free visit, which is a shooting place.
There is a RV camping base, where you can camp, 60 yuan/car, free water supply, self-help electricity payment, lawn and lavender garden are carefully taken care of by staff. It can be clearly seen that this green space is in sharp contrast with the surrounding mountains.
Aerial photography of Gushan Island in the morning, with soft sunshine and gentle breeze, is a good place for leisure and holiday. Fuxian Lake is often called the back garden of Kunming people.
There is a famous gourmet copper pot fish in Jiangchuan near Gushan, which is very quiet and a good place to live.
Gushan Island is the only island in Fuxian Lake.
Seen from the air, Gushan Island looks like a fish. It is said that there are often many fish around this island.
In the morning and evening, on the beach by the river in Gushan Island, it is very pleasant to take photos with a breeze blowing.
There are some other scenic spots around Fuxian Lake, including the sailing base in Li Chang Village, Xingyu Cave and Biyun Temple. If you have enough time, you can calm down and explore slowly. There are fewer tourists to Fuxian Lake than to Dianchi Lake in Kunming and Erhai Lake in Dali. Fuxian Lake belongs to a quiet and leisurely leisure resort. The gentle zone on the shore of the lake is not as wide as Dali and Dianchi Lake, and there are no mountains like Cangshan around it. Traveling here is to appreciate the beauty and blue of this deep-water lake and experience the slow-paced life.
Recommended location 2: Xingyun Lake in Jiangchuan
Xingyun Lake is very close to Fuxian Lake, and the two lakes are actually connected by a stream.
The water color of Xingyun Lake is relatively green, because the average water depth here is only about 7 meters, and the water quality is rich in nutrition. It is a natural breeding fishery.
Xingyun Lake belongs to Jiangchuan District, and there are many gentle alluvial plains around the lake. Xingyun Lake holds a fishing festival from June 5438 to February every year. The scene is very lively, and eating fish has become a normal thing here.
Recommended location 3: Huaning Modoushan Wind Farm
Mount Mo Dou in Huaning is located on the shore of Fuxian Lake, and there are several roads to go up. This is a mountainous area where grass and livestock are in balance. In the wind farm built by China Nuclear Power Wind Power Company, the grazing sheep and windmills are very harmonious.
The roads here are specially paved for the construction of wind turbines. Now more and more photographers and tourists come to Mo Dou Mountain to enjoy this magnificent mountain view.
Climb on the roof and take a photo with the car.
Woods and windmills in the distance.
You can see Fuxian Lake and Xingyun Lake at the same time here. When the wind is light and the weather is clear, you can also take aerial photos of Qilu Lake leading to the sea. The three plateau lakes in Yuxi can also be seen at high altitude.
Recommended location 4: Huaning Mobochong
Located in Hongdongdian Yi and Miao Township, Huaning, it is an undeveloped scenic spot integrating windmills and reservoirs in the plateau meadow stone forest. Many people often come here for hiking and picnics. In summer, it is very beautiful.
Walking on the grass in the mountains and sharing this beautiful nature with the sheep is a very pleasant thing.
Recommended location 5: Tonghai Qilu Lake
Tonghai County is about130km away from Kunming. There is a mountain called Xiushan (also known as Qilu Mountain) and a lake called Qilu Lake. Qilu Lake has an average water depth of only 5 meters and an area of 36.7 square kilometers.
A large area of vegetables and flowers have been planted on the dam near Qilu Lake.
Tonghai ancient city has a long history and many celebrities. Now it is a local commercial street with many people.
At the foot of Qilu Lake in the evening, there are many people riding bicycles and walking. This is the favorite cycling city I have ever seen.
There is a small bridge in the sea park of that ancient town, where you can not only see the beautiful sunset, but also be an important choice for people to stop and watch the lake view.
The beautiful sunset glow is reflected on the Qilu Lake.
Millennium Cooper proudly stands in Xiushan, gazing at Qilu Lake at the foot of the mountain.
Tonghai Confucian Temple is the second largest Confucian Temple in Yunnan Province.
Recommended location six: Eshan Yuncha Mountain Villa
Eshan, formerly known as yi county, is the first Yi Autonomous County in China and the first county in Yunnan Province to implement regional ethnic autonomy.
This is the only tea mountain in Eshan, covering an area of more than 6,000 mu, mainly producing green tea, black tea and Pu 'er tea.
Tea picking experience and buffet barbecue are provided during the tea season here, and the tea they produce can be tasted for free.
On the way, I will pass by a bamboo sea and walk in the Woods, where bamboo leaves rustle and there is a feeling of seclusion.
Recommended location 7: Ailao Mountain in Xinping
Sa Jia Town, located at the foot of Ailaoshan Nature Reserve, is the hometown of Huayao Dai. On Dai festivals, Huayao Dai women will dress their waists with brocade to welcome guests from afar. In April and May, there will be a grand Songkran Festival here.
The terraced fields on the mountainside witnessed the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
The phoenix flowers on the roadside will bloom brilliantly in June.
Ailao Mountain is an important nature reserve with dense virgin forest. National Highway 323 runs through the forest.
Jinshan primeval forest is a protected area at the top of the mountain. There are many kinds of birds and hundreds of plants in the forest.
The forest is covered with these towering trees.
On the south side of the forest, it is the dividing line between Yuxi and Pu 'er, and also the windward slope of the southern monsoon.
The water in Shimen Gorge is crystal clear, the flowing water is gurgling, and the valley is quiet, just like a fairy coming down to earth.
Butterflies in the forest are colorful and stay on the railing, which often attracts people to stop and watch.
The water in Shimen Gorge falls from a height, forming waterfalls and pools. In summer, you can explore the forest and have a unique flavor.
Go to Chu Orange Manor in winter, buy some oranges, and then watch a sunrise in the sea of clouds in Yaonan Village. My heart is sweet and my eyes are beautiful.
Even if it is not winter, you can see the beautiful sunrise here.
Mountains and clouds depict a beautiful landscape painting.
The flowing water on Ailao Mountain keeps gathering and pouring down at Nain Waterfall. When the amount of water increases in rainy season, the stones behind the waterfall will be ugly.
Recommended location 8: Yuanjiang Nano Terrace
On the south bank of Yuanjiang River, adjacent to Honghe County, there is a hot land in central Yunnan-Nanuo, which is famous for its terraced sea of clouds and Hani culture.
This is a place famous for its terraced landscape in central Yunnan, which belongs to the upper reaches of the Honghe Hani cultural corridor.
Nanuo Terrace has the same humanistic and natural environment as Yuanyang Terrace, which is famous all over the world. It is a precious legacy left by the hard work of Hani people.
The scale of terraces here has decreased in recent years, but the beautiful sea of clouds has added a different kind of beauty to the land in this mountain.
On the market day, you can also see how the ethnic minorities live here.
Market days in Nanuo Township and Yangjie Township are always very lively. People travel in full dress and buy all kinds of goods.
abstract
Yuxi has both the profundity of Fuxian Lake and the luxuriance of Ailao Mountain, the harmony of many nationalities and the hard struggle of Yuxi people.
After a period of personal experience, I understand more clearly that Yunnan is not only Lijiang and Dali, but also Banna and Kunming, and there is also a beautiful Yuxi surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is ecologically livable and has unlimited potential.
