Guangnan County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province—should have come sooner!

1. A small county in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan. It's just a half-hour train ride from Puzhehei High-Speed Rail Station to Guangnan High-Speed Rail Station. From Guangnan Station, you can walk to the county center. Prices are low, the locals are warm and honest, and the lamb rice noodles are delicious. Bamei Village in Guangnan is a scenic spot surrounded by mountains, accessible only by boat through a karst cave. After being acquired by investors, the tour route is designed as follows: take a boat through the cave, walk 1,000 meters or pay an extra 10 yuan for an electric cart, then board another boat to reach the village. To exit, take a boat through another cave to the visitor center. The entrance fee is 40 yuan, and the mandatory transportation fee is 140 yuan. Bus Route 3 in Guangnan County goes to Bamei Scenic Area, taking about an hour. Ke Zhongping, a native of Guangnan, was once vice chairman of the Chinese Writers' Association and a poet who passed away in 1962. 2. Take the train to Guangnan Station and check into the City Comfort Inn near the station. The next day, take a minivan to Bamei for 15 yuan/person. Buy the 140 yuan/person ticket on Douyin—a bit overpriced, but hey, traveling costs money 😁. Spend two hours exploring, then take a taxi back (same price, but depends on luck). If no taxi, take the bus (departs every half hour). The next day, hire a round-trip taxi for 100 yuan to Liulangcheng, which kids will love for its play areas. The night market on South Street has great grilled skewers, and the nearby Tusi Yamen is great for photos. Market day is Sunday, with a huge variety of wild vegetables, herbs, and fruits. A short trip here offers a glimpse of unique local life. Two itinerary options for you!
