📍Detailed address: Phoenix Ecological Park, Kaiyuan City, Yunnan Province Tickets 🎫: Free The clock tower in Phoenix Ecological Park is particularly beautiful to take pictures with. It is full of French style. It is really tiring to climb the mountain. You can plan your time in advance. You can arrive at the clock tower around 18:00 in the evening. You can also take pictures of the bell tower at night. The neon lights are also very beautiful. After the film was released, the bell tower was also a museum, "Kaiyuan Time Memory Hall"

The Kaiyuan Sightseeing Train departs from Kaiyuan Railway Station. The carriages are restored to their original appearance, and the retro carriages are full of cultural heritage. The carriages are equipped with Wi-Fi and electric fans. The windows on both sides are open for passengers to enjoy the scenery. There are 7 stops: Kaiyuan Station, Xiangyun Road Station, Lujiang River Station, 1909 Square Station, Qikong Bridge Station, Nandong Station, and Datuo Station.

Lujiang Park is located on the east side of Xicheng District, Kaiyuan City, on the banks of the Lujiang River. It is a park built on the original riverbed after the Lujiang River was diverted. It is also the first park in Kaiyuan that is open to the public for free. The planning and design of Lujiang Park draws on the essence of Lingnan-style garden art in China. It is a typical Chinese classical garden construction style, fully embodying traditional Chinese aesthetic taste. The mountains, water, buildings, flowers, grass, and trees are harmoniously distributed, complementing each other, and all are scenic.

Kunming (or Kunming South) Railway Station can reach Kaiyuan South Station directly in about an hour and a half by high-speed train. I personally prefer this hotel, after all, it is not a popular tourist city, there are not many tourists, and it is not commercialized (hasn't been ruined yet), which is very suitable for vacationing . The hotel is located at the entrance of Renzhe Village, and the hotel breakfast is abundant. In addition, there are many unique dining options in the village. The rice noodles and dishes related to eel are highly recommended.

Early in the morning, I had a bowl of rice noodles at the hotel, and right outside was the wetland park. The air was fresh, the weather was fantastic, with a temperature of 25 degrees. I strolled inside for more than an hour, it was so enjoyable. Moreover, there is a plastic fitness trail around the wetland park, with a few people jogging, exercising in the morning, and fishing. The key point is that this is just a small part of the entire Phoenix Mountain Ecological Park.

Kaiyuan City is a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Honghe Prefecture in Yunnan Province, located in the southeastern part of Yunnan. Kaiyuan's geographical location is important, and it has been a crucial hub since ancient times. However, it developed slowly until the opening of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, which brought a flow of people and goods, leading to its rapid rise. Therefore, Kaiyuan is known as the 'city brought by the train.' Wandering around Kaiyuan, you won't see many historical sites. The French-style station building of the Kaiyuan Meter-Gauge Railway Station has endured a century of weathering and can be considered an old building. Kaiyuan Station is the only second-class station on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway line, while other stations range from third to fifth class. New developments have their advantages. Unlike many places that build new ancient cities, Kaiyuan has boldly developed Phoenix Ecological Park, Nandong Phoenix Valley Tourist Area, Lujiang Park, and Lingzhi Lake Forest Park, balancing the quality of life for locals with tourism needs. We visited Phoenix Ecological Park and Lujiang Park in Kaiyuan and felt that these are blessings for the locals and good measures to attract outsiders to travel or settle permanently.

Kaiyuan Phoenix Ecological Park became a national AAAA-level tourist attraction in 2020 and is only a few kilometers away from the city center of Kaiyuan. On a Saturday afternoon, we drove to the north gate of the ecological park. The parking lot was full of cars, and some were parked along the roadside. A parent-child fitness activity was taking place, with ribbons outlining part of the road leading up the mountain, limiting the activity area and attracting many families to participate. It was a scene of joy. This place is not only suitable for tourism and sightseeing, leisure and fitness, but also a great venue for public welfare activities. The mountain in the ecological park is called Phoenix Mountain. There is a well-maintained road leading up the mountain (for safety reasons, cars are prohibited from driving up). The road is shaded by green trees, the slopes are covered with lush grass, and there are forests and lakes on the mountain. At the top of the mountain stands a 14-story bell tower—Phoenix Tower, which reaches into the clouds, set off by green lawns and surrounded by woods. The steps in front of the tower are adorned with a floral phoenix pattern. Phoenix Tower is a landmark building in Kaiyuan City, and in 2021, it opened the 'Kaiyuan Memory Living Room' exhibition, introducing the history and present of Kaiyuan. On the south side of Phoenix Mountain is Phoenix Lake, with a wide water surface and fitness trails around it. Between Phoenix Mountain and Phoenix Lake, a square was built, named 1909 Square to commemorate the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway. There are free parking lots on the north side of the ecological park, the west side of Phoenix Lake, and 1909 Square, making it convenient to drive there. The narrow-gauge sightseeing train running between Kaiyuan and Dada has a stop at 1909 Square, allowing visitors to reach Phoenix Ecological Park by experiencing the narrow-gauge train.

Kaiyuan in Honghe, a city brought by train Kaiyuan in Honghe, the first issue of Three Days and Two Nights: Attractions Guide Day One: Kunming to Kaiyuan South (high-speed rail). After arriving, take bus No. 7 to Lujian Park Station. The park is big, but what's comfortable is that locals play cards/mahjong by the park, truly a relaxed vibe, life enjoyment 100. Then at 3:40 PM, head to Kaiyuan Station to take a small train to 1909 Park Station, visit the clock tower, a real European style. Take the train back to Kaiyuan Station at 5:37 PM, then go to Nanzheng Street night market for dinner, and finally return to the hotel to sleep. The hotel was average, so I won't recommend it. Day Two: Get up early and continue to Kaiyuan Station to take a small train to Nandong Station. After getting off, there is the first sky bridge in Southern Yunnan, a glass walkway, and jungle rafting. The package ticket was 148. There were photographers on the bridge offering small photos for free, and a large photo with a frame for 29, which was also acceptable. Personally, the experience was okay, but the slide was not very fast. There was a small accident in the middle of the rafting, it stopped for some reason, but the staff were very serious in helping to solve the problem, overall it was okay. After getting down, I didn't go into the cave to visit because I was too tired, and I had to buy a new ticket, so I didn't play. Then it was time to check in at a gourmet restaurant (gourmet sharing in the next issue). In the evening, I took a taxi to the next destination, Jinghu Leisure Park. This place is really worth visiting. First of all, the host was very responsible, upgraded my room for free, and drove me to swim across the lake for free. I also ate delicious food there, mainly because the hotel was really good, with super high cost performance, see the pictures, really atmospheric, and I took sunrise photos. Day Three: Got up and took sunrise photos, went to the reception center for breakfast, which was really good. Then the boss helped to arrange a car to go to Kaiyuan South high-speed rail to return to Kunming. tip: In short, this trip to Kaiyuan, in two words, was totally relaxed (relaxed).

In 1910, the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway was fully operational, and Kaiyuan—then known as Ami State—began to prosper, becoming an important transportation hub heading north to Kunming and south to Haiphong. Ami State was subsequently renamed Kaiyuan, meaning 'extending in all directions, connecting far and wide,' and it became known as 'the city brought by the train'. For 113 years, the 59-kilometer-long Kaiyuan section of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway has experienced both glory and decline, holding an extraordinary place in the memories of the people of Kaiyuan. In 2018, Kaiyuan's little train transformed into an urban rail transit train, traveling from Kaiyuan to Datun, and this secret hidden by time was once again unveiled. Today, we can search for old memories of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway on the 11.6-kilometer-long, 7-station north-south rail transit commuter train route using a sightseeing train. 🕹️Kaiyuan Train Station 🕰9.18 12.30 16.00 📌 There are only three trains a day, with tickets costing 18.8 online and 20 offline.

Kaiyuan is a beautiful garden city with flowers and green grass everywhere. Wherever you go, you will feel refreshed. It can be said to be the cleanest city in Yunnan. This seems to be a paradise for banyan trees. Banyan trees are everywhere in parks, hotels, and even on the streets. They have different postures, but they all look thriving. The classification of the outdoor trash bins here is very simple, there are only two types of "recyclables" and "other garbage". Yes, in fact, there are not so many "hazardous garbage" and "kitchen waste" outdoors, but the trash bins here are the most There are some unique flower pots on the upper level, and even the trash can, which makes it much more pleasing to the eye. This is a city that pays great attention to personal hygiene. You can often find convenient "wash basins". They are not mass-customized things, nor are they the same as in some places. Each one looks different and is thoughtfully designed. The high and low platforms are designed to be very friendly to children. Kaiyuan is not a popular tourist destination, so there are not many hotel options. Diannan Cuiyi is considered the best hotel, but precisely because it has not become an Internet celebrity, it maintains a very high cost-effectiveness even during the summer vacation. The hotel itself is a beautiful park with an exquisite and charming garden design, especially the winding waterway around the swimming pool, paved with pebbles, and the koi swimming leisurely. The outdoor swimming pool is lively, with many people playing in the water, but because it is round The swimming pool is huge and is divided into shallow and deep areas, so it's not crowded and everyone can have fun. In the Phoenix Building on the top of Phoenix Mountain, the third floor has been stylishly replaced by the "Kaiyuan Memory Living Room", which actually serves as a museum and is the best place to understand this city. Among the ancient exhibits, the most precious one is the "Soybean Glaze Hu Man Riding Horse Holding Pot" from the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It has a unique shape and exquisite design. It should be a fine product of Jianshui Kiln. I have visited countless museums, but such a collection is It's also my first time seeing this. It is said that Kaiyuan is a city brought by trains, so a large part of the second floor is dedicated to the history of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, with life-size wax figures of passengers, train and carriage design drawings, and even a real old Locomotive. If you are a train fan, I believe that after seeing it, you will go and take a ride on the local train. It is also quite rare that some old brands of Kaiyuan are displayed here, such as the wide range of fruit wines and white wines, all of which are local products. When old Kaiyuan people see them, they will smile knowingly. By the way, Kaiyuan was named less than a hundred years ago. Before that, "Ami" was the official name of this place. Maybe it's a coincidence, but all the Argentine fans in the world should come here to pay a visit.

🌝It was evening when we arrived in Kaiyuan. As soon as it got dark, we saw a "golden" tall building from a distance... It was a bit retro and a bit European. The tall building wrapped in lights was particularly eye-catching in the night. Feeling more mysterious! 🏃🏻‍♂️That night, we couldn't help but ran to find out what was going on and climbed up to the "Phoenix Ecological Park". When we reached the top of the mountain, the big bell tower stood right in front of us. Taking advantage of the bright but not dazzling light, we felt a little exaggerated, but also a little beautiful! 📍Kaiyuan·Phoenix Tower 📌Phoenix Ecological Park (top of the mountain) 🗺️Can be reached via navigation or taxi 🅿️There are parking lots outside the park 💰The park is free Phoenix Ecological Park is also very nice~ The park is very large, with mountains, water, and lush vegetation.
