Jiasazhen
无无事做神仙It is worth eating nearby, the beef soup pot is a special feature, and the water is the soul. The climate is relatively hot, and there is a chimney of Nanen Sugar Paper Factory in the town that has been exhaling smoke. Uncomfortable to live

Shimenxia
Ssp_ewWow, amazing hike into the gorge. It was around 2.6 km to the end and it took about an hour or so. The last 1.4 km was quit quick. The hike is not that hard or tiring. Lots of little flies flying around you but didn’t bite, just annoying. We used trekking poles and that helped a lot. Unfortunately, it rained on the way out. The multiple shelters can in handy. The path is relatively new but beware it can slippery. Well worth the 30 RMB entrance ticket.
Ailaoshan Honghegu Tourism Sceneic Area
首首席监理In Xinping Yi and Dai Autonomous County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, the majestic Ailao Mountain exudes a charming charm. Watch the sea of clouds at sunrise, walk along the ancient path deep in the mountains... The scenery changes with every step, and you can enjoy it in all seasons. The mountains, waters and forests form a natural, peaceful and beautiful landscape painting. The most attractive places for tourists in Ailao Mountain are the Ten-mile River, the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, the Shimen Gorge and the Nan'en Waterfall.
Jinshan Virgin Forest
MM48***85It rained all night, so we went to Jinshan Primeval Forest the next morning. Hiking along the artificially paved road through the primeval forest, the scenery was full of greenery, the air was fresh, and the forest was filled with fairyland. Although the attraction is small, the experience is excellent!
Nan'en Waterfall
CchenweiwenNan'en Waterfall is located in Ailao Mountain National Forest Park, Gasa Town, Xinping Yi Autonomous County, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province. Nan'en Waterfall originates from Ailao Mountain and is called Nan'en River. The Nan'en Waterfall has a turbulent river and fierce water. Many waterfalls have formed in the mountains, of which the most famous is Nan'en Waterfall. The waterfall spans up to 100 meters, like a jade belt inlaid in the Ailao Mountain. The waterfall is surrounded by cliffs and strange rocks. When you walk into the waterfall, the water rushing down from the mountain is huge. A snow-white waterfall flows down from the top of the mountain, as if it came out of the sky, with waves flying straight down, and the waterfall falling thousands of feet from the cloud peak. The sound of the valley is like thunder in spring, which is very spectacular.

吾吾多多[View] The scenery is very good. [Fun] When I eat oranges for another year, this may be the best orange I have eaten at the moment. [Cost-effective] It is worth a visit.
Mopanshan (Mopan Mountain) National Forest Park
云云杉家的笑笑The scenery of lakes and mountains is very good. The Mopanshan Forest Park Hotel in the scenic area is worth experiencing. The cherry trees on the mountain are in bud, and there are many alpine azaleas around the cliff villa and Fushan Garden. The blooming season should be very good, and it feels much better than the hardware of Dali Wuliang Mountain. It just feels that there are not many people who come because of the lack of publicity. There is a large-scale jungle leap in the scenic area, which is very interesting. Such a good scenery and such good hardware should be promoted more!
