The recommended snorkeling spot is the Fish Cave. 2️⃣ The city is covered in purple during the Jacaranda season from April to May, a must-see for photographers 3️⃣ The temperature difference between morning and night in Ailao Mountain is large, so prepare a jacket and non-slip shoes 4️⃣ Remember to avoid the "Mountains and Flowing Water" toast when attending a long street banquet 📸Internet celebrity seats: ▶️Hongtashan Cherry Blossom Avenue (Spring only) ▶️Fuxian Lake Time Plank Road (white piano + boundless lake view) ▶️Nanuo Rice Terraces Observation Deck (same location as the aerial photography in China) 💰Budget reference: 1200-1500 per person (including transportation and accommodation), students can reduce it to 800+ This way of playing that deeply combines natural scenery with ethnic minority culture avoids the crowded popular routes and hides the most original surprises of Yunnan!
