Miss it, and you'll have to wait a whole year! 🌼Luoping canola flower fields: Every year from February to March, millions of acres of canola flowers bloom, creating a spectacular golden vista. It's simply a photographer's paradise. 🎈Jinji Peak is the core viewing area. You can photograph the sunrise and sunset, and there's a small train too. 🎈The terraced fields of Niu Street create a spiral pattern of canola flowers, with beautiful lines and a rich sense of depth. 🎈Jiulong Waterfall Group, one of the top ten waterfalls in China, where the waterfalls complement the sea of flowers. 🚗Travel route: If you have plenty of time, arrange for 2-3 days. On the first day, visit Jinji Peak in the morning and Niu Street in the afternoon. On the second day, visit the Jiulong Waterfall Group, and then freely stroll through the flower fields. If you only have one day, watch the sunrise at Jinji Peak early in the morning, then go to Jiulong Waterfall Group, and visit Niu Street in the afternoon. 🌊Fuxian Lake: The lake water is clear and blue, known as "ten thousand acres of glass," and is the backyard garden of Yunnan people. 🎈Red Sand Beach is free of charge and looks beautiful from aerial photography.

If you have enough time, spend two days and one night circling the lake, relaxing on the west bank and watching the sunset on the east bank. If time is limited, choose 2-3 attractions for a day trip, such as Fuhai Bay Wetland Park, Red Sand Beach, Luchong Scenic Area, and the S-bend in Dawan Village. 🍷Mile Red Winery: Full of romantic French style, you can learn about wine culture, taste mellow wines, and enjoy a leisurely time. 🎈Stroll through the vineyards and pick grapes. 🎈Taste fine wines with introductions from professional sommeliers. 🎈Visit the winery's cultural exhibition and experience its rich heritage. 🚗Travel route: Arrange for 1 day.

I strongly recommend you to visit Mile in winter, which is definitely the best choice for reverse tourism! I used to think Dali was a beautiful place, but when I stepped into Mile, I realized what a truly charming niche place is. This place is called the Morocco of China by many people, with a comfortable temperature of 21°C all year round! There are many excellent attractions here, such as Dongfengyun in Mile, and Puzhehei, the filming location of the TV series Eternal Love. You can take photos and get countless likes on WeChat Moments. ❇ Unique niche experience: Enjoy the world cultural heritage Samaba Rice Terraces/Yuanyang Rice Terraces, look for food in Jianshui Ancient Town, take a meter-gauge train, and make pottery in Ant Workshop. 🚄 My Southeast Yunnan vacation itinerary: 🔹D1: Kunming - Mile The tour guide picked us up at the airport and then went to Dongfengyun Farm in Mile, also known as the "Oriental Kaleidoscope". It took the owner of this building 8 years to build it. Enjoy the architectural art of the master in the magical red brick castle! 🔹D2: Mile - Jianshui Morning: Go to Ant Workshop in Jianshui to experience the purple pottery culture. The buildings here are colorful and full of imagination, with a strong visual impact!

Afternoon: Go to Red River Valley Glamping. 🔹D4: Yuanyang - Fuxian Lake Morning: This itinerary gives people a wonderful feeling of a leisurely vacation, which is great! Enjoy the rural scenery in the private camp, explore the Yuanyang Rice Terraces, and take a light hike with a tour guide. Afternoon: Arrive at Shitouzhai Village, and finally stroll along the quiet Fuxian Lake to enjoy the sunset. 🔹D5: Fuxian Lake - Kunming - Return Kunming and Fuxian Lake are also great vacation destinations, where you can experience the sea and relax... 🏷 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 🎈 Compared with popular cities in Yunnan, there are fewer tourists on this route, so you can choose it to avoid the crowds in peak season. 🎈 The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are strong all year round, so remember to bring a hat 🧢 and sunglasses. 🎈 The temperature difference between day and night is large.

As Asia’s sole fossil-based World Natural Heritage site, it weaves a captivating tale—from the explosive birth of life to the grand evolution shaping the vibrant biodiversity we see today. Free to enter (though closed on Mondays), the museum offers an immersive experience perfect for young minds. Within its walls, spring’s spirit of renewal echoes in the story of life’s beginnings, as interactive displays and awe-inspiring fossils create a journey that spans billions of years. Visitors can comfortably wander through its wonders for hours, discovering a narrative as rich and intricate as the season itself. Chengjiang Fossil Museum is not just an educational space; it’s a celebration of spring’s essence—the beauty of life’s persistence and endless transformations. 🌿✨🦴🌍

#springwander With an entry fee of just 15 RMB, the Luchong Scenic Area offers a wealth of experiences wrapped in spring’s radiant charm. For those arriving by car, setting your navigation to “Hama Stone Turning Water Cave” ensures an effortless journey. Once you’ve parked, a short walk reveals countless photo-worthy spots, where every step feels like framing spring’s vibrancy.

📍Dazhi Xianxian Homestay in Chengjiang is located in Lucheng Scenic Area (on the shore of Fuxian Lake). It is about a 3-minute walk to the lake. Nearby are Mount Bijia, Sailing Base, Boxi Bay, and Lucheng Fish Cave. Dazhi Xianxian is a private homestay brand that focuses on artistic experiences. The park blends local cultural elements with modern styles. Here, art is not a decoration, but a way for the space to breathe. The homestay cleverly combines the "square" frame with "delicate" details, forming a restrained sense of healing. The moment the butler opened the door of Courtyard No. 2, I thought I would see an angular "minimalist style", but the sunlight shining into the courtyard stretched the square shadow into an arc. It turns out that the tough frame is just to make the gentleness more bounded. The independent courtyard of Courtyard No. 2 has excellent privacy. In the courtyard on the first floor, I experienced the most agile hidden service. In the afternoon, I was sitting in a chair reading a book. A gust of wind blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled, which was so pleasant. Suddenly, I heard a "meow" sound, triggering a surprise encounter with a cat. The homestay cats are free-range, but the balcony height/plant layout on the first floor of Courtyard No. 2 just forms a "cat passage" so they can come and go freely. I felt exclusively favored. Dazhi Xianxian's Immersive Brand Aesthetics This homestay turns its name into a visual Mantra (a repeated visual spell), allowing the "philosophy of leisure" to penetrate into every subtle tactile point. The "omnipresence" of brand symbols is reflected in every corner. When the mist on the bathroom door disappears, the Logo of the water mist sticker appears in the corner. When I didn't remember how many times I had run into "Dazhi Xianxian" on the embroidered label of the bathrobe, I suddenly laughed—it was clearly the homestay owner whispering in my ear: "You are here to relax, don't secretly deal with work messages." Dazhi Xianxian's "Sound Aesthetics" Not only does it convey the "philosophy of leisure" visually, but it also maximizes "immersive relaxation" through carefully selected sound equipment. The Marshall speakers in the room offer a double enjoyment of retro sound quality➕minimalist aesthetics. Xianxianting Cafe The cafe of Dazhi Xianxian is not an independent existence, but the breathing center of the entire homestay's moving line, connecting various courtyards and becoming a social space where residents and tourists naturally gather. Located in the C position but not noisy, it is the only way to go to each courtyard. In Xianxianting, the best seat does not exist, because no matter which direction you turn, you will encounter new leisure possibilities. I recommend the special series, every cup is delicious! ! ! "Zuo Ge Xian Ren" is amazing! The name and taste of this "Zuo Ge Xian Ren" special blend, from the naming to the flavor design, you can feel the cafe owner's ingenuity in integrating the "philosophy of leisure" into the drink. The attraction of the name is extremely tempting, bringing its own sense of "slowing down" ritual. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the wooden glass tray of Xianxianting's coffee is handmade from the remaining materials from the window decoration, hiding the concept of sustainability in a seemingly ordinary tray, giving it a new life. The seemingly random blank space has actually been calculated for the rhythm of the line of sight. You don't have to "understand" the mottled cyanotype work, but when the spring breeze blows through it and rustles, you suddenly understand what "Dazhi Xianxian" is.

#springwander While Yunnan shares Lugu Lake and Erhai with the world, Fuxian Lake feels like a treasure it keeps for itself—a haven of clarity and calm that mirrors spring’s quiet intimacy. Encircling its pristine waters are destinations for every kind of traveler. For a touch of adventure, the Luchong Scenic Area and Starfish Cave offer beauty steeped in wonder, with their paid-entry landscapes worth every yuan. Meanwhile, free wetland parks around the lake embrace visitors with open paths, where spring blooms in every ripple and rustle. Fuxian Lake is more than a destination—it’s a sanctuary of spring’s best-kept secret, waiting for those who seek its tranquil charm. 🌿✨💦🌅

#springwander As Yunnan’s second-largest lake, Fuxian Lake is a serene masterpiece of nature—its waters remarkably clearer than Erhai, shimmering like a mirror of spring’s gentle light. Stretching into the horizon, this vast expanse is more than just a scenic escape; it’s a place of mystery and wonder. From the famed Starfish Cave to the submerged ancient city resting beneath its depths, the lake holds secrets waiting to be discovered. At sunset, its waters glow in hues of gold and violet, painting an unforgettable evening sky. And when night falls, the Starlight Night Market comes alive, wrapping visitors in the warmth of local flavors and vibrant culture. Fuxian Lake is not just a destination—it’s a season’s reflection, where nature, history, and beauty flow together in perfect harmony. 🌿✨💦🌅

📍Address: Moonlight Bay Wetland Park 🚗Transportation: It is recommended to drive there yourself. If using other transportation methods, you will need to find your own way. 👍️Must-see attractions: Baisha Beach. Baisha Beach is the most famous attraction in Moonlight Bay, so it is a must-see. 🎟️Ticket information: Tickets are CNY 30 per person, but the scenic area and surrounding hotels basically have cooperative relationships. If you book a hotel nearby, the hotel will give you free tickets to the wetland park. However, when booking a hotel, be sure to carefully read the hotel's notice, or call the hotel to ask if they offer free tickets, so as not to be disappointed. 💗Other tips: 1. The scenic spot is a little different from what I imagined. Baisha Beach seems to be artificially built, unlike Hongsha Beach, which is naturally formed. Apart from Baisha Beach, you can only see the sea and a small lavender field, and that's it. 2. When we went there, there was a section of wet soil between Baisha Beach and the lake, and it seemed to be still under construction and development. 3. If you still want to go after reading the above, I especially recommend the Jiachen Hotel (Fuxian Lake Moonlight Bay Branch). The hotel faces Fuxian Lake and has a large floor-to-ceiling window with a sea view, and the price is super high. I booked a twin room for CNY 179 during the Qingming Festival, and it also included tickets to the wetland park. Moreover, it is on the 22nd floor, so the view is invincible, and the hotel environment is OK. 4. Overall, if I had to pay CNY 30 to enter separately, I would not go. There are too few places to visit, and the photos are not very good! Not very recommended.

#springwander Luchong Scenic Area is a haven for capturing stunning visuals, where every shot feels effortlessly cinematic. Its concentrated cluster of picturesque spots means you’ll never run out of incredible scenes to frame, no matter where you turn. Whether it’s the interplay of natural light, the scenic backdrops, or the vibrant seasonal hues, this place guarantees that every click will result in an awe-inspiring masterpiece. A must-visit for those with a camera in hand or simply an eye for beauty. 🌿✨📸

🌊 Let's start with the conclusion: Fuxian Lake is worth visiting, but avoid these pitfalls! As a Yunnan local, after a 3-day self-driving trip around the lake, I've compiled this "pit-avoidance guide." Honestly, Fuxian Lake's water is so clear you can scoop it up and drink it, but some experiences really made my blood pressure rise... (like the prices at certain Instagram-worthy cafes 💸) 🚗 Trip Preparation: Don't Be a Sucker! 1. Transportation: • Strongly recommend self-driving! 1-hour drive from Kunming, just navigate to "Fuxian Lake," the east/west lake roads offer therapeutic views. • Public transport: Direct buses from Kunming South Station/Changshui Airport to Guanglong Town, tickets 45-70 yuan, but taxis to attractions are super expensive (don't ask how I know 😭). 2. Packing List: • Sun protection trio (sunglasses + hat + sunscreen), flip-flops (for wading), windbreaker (big temperature differences), power bank (photos drain battery fast). • Cycling enthusiasts can bring their gear, or rent mountain bikes at "Bean Sprout Cycling Station" on the south shore - the 50 km lake circuit is amazing! 🏞 5 Must-Visit Spots, Avoid the Crowds! 1. Luchong Scenic Area (4A-rated) • Iconic spot of Fuxian Lake, amazing panoramic view from Bijia Mountain! Go early morning for fewer people and "glass-like" water photos. • ❌ Skip the horse carriages in the scenic area, it's just a 10-minute walk to the lake. 2. Moon Bay Beach • Feels like Sanya 🌴! Coconut trees + white sand beach + swings, perfect for photos. Best after 4pm for gentle sunset views. 3. Gushan Island • Yunnan's largest lake island, 15-minute boat ride. Watch the "Silver Carp Formation" (summer-fall), remember to bring bread for fish feeding 🐟. 4. Mingxing Fish Cave • Local secret spot! Lake water blue as jelly, experience traditional "water-driving fishing." • 🚣 Try sailing, 100 yuan/person, thrilling experience with instructor! 5. Wanzigou S-curve Road • New photo hotspot! Capture the S-curved road along the lake, perfect with sunset views for social media-worthy shots. 🍲 Food Hit and Miss List: These Are Worth It! ✅ Must-Try List: • Copper Pot Fish + Potato Rice: Any lakeside restaurant, fresh fish cooked in Fuxian Lake water - incredibly delicious! Add ham bits to potato rice. • Braised Pork Trotters: Must-try at "Wang's Cold Pork" in Chengjiang, perfectly tender with chili powder. • Pan-fried Lake Anchovy: Local specialty fish, crispy outside, tender inside, great with salt and pepper as snacks. • Lotus Root Starch: Many stands serve fresh ones, jelly-like texture, get the osmanthus flavor! ❌ Avoid These: • Skip that famous coffee shop! 68 yuan for an Americano that's worse than convenience store instant coffee. • Be careful with "Kanglang Fish"! 600 yuan/kg, farm-raised with mediocre taste, not worth the price. ⚠️ Important Tips: Learn from My Mistakes! 1. Environmental Protection: No littering by the lake, 5,000 yuan fine! Saw someone get fined, don't risk it. 2. Sun Protection is Crucial: Highland UV is intense, got "two-toned face" despite SPF50+ 😤. 3. Accommodation Tips: Prices surge during peak season, recommend "Sun Mountain Town" on south shore, Nordic-style lake-view rooms, good value at 200+ yuan per person. 4. Cycling Safety: Some sections of East Lake Road have no bike lanes, beginners be careful! 🌟 Final Thoughts Fuxian Lake's beauty is stunning but needs to be experienced mindfully. Skip the "social media filters," walk slowly along the lake, feel the breeze, watch the clouds - that's the right way to appreciate it. If this guide helps, please leave a like! ❤️

[Fuxian Lake] I visited Fuxian Lake in 2020. The prices of homestays around the lake during holidays were outrageous. I booked a homestay with a lake view. I arrived at 3 pm, and they told me I had to wait. By 5 pm, the room still hadn't been cleaned. I was so frustrated. I had no choice but to switch to a chain hotel in the city. Finally, things calmed down. So now, I'm a bit wary of homestays unless I really love them. I won't consider them otherwise. Or, if there's a star-rated hotel with similar conditions, I definitely won't choose a homestay. They're too unreliable. The scenery of the lake is still quite beautiful. Taking a self-drive trip around the lake at sunset, enjoying the scenery while chasing the sunset, is a lot of fun.
