Have you been to the 'Maldives' of Yunnan, the pink beach of Fuxian Lake?
I thought Erhai Lake was already incomparably beautiful, but it was only after I visited Fuxian Lake that I realized its stunning beauty was beyond imagination! I never expected that after experiencing the beauty of Erhai Lake, I could still be so deeply shocked by this third largest lake in Yunnan.
Fuxian Lake is even clearer than Erhai Lake, it is definitely a gorgeous lake in Yunnan that you shouldn't miss. Here is a one-day lake tour guide, be sure to save it.
About transportation and accommodation:
Although Fuxian Lake belongs to Yuxi City in Yunnan, it is closer to depart from Kunming. I recommend taking the high-speed train directly to 'Kunming South Station', and then take a taxi to 'Guanglong Town' by Fuxian Lake, it only takes 40 minutes via the expressway to get there.
I strongly suggest staying in Guanglong Town at night, where there are plenty of hotels and homestays, and there's also a super lively starlight night market, with all kinds of snacks for you to enjoy to the fullest
One-day lake tour recommendation:
After arriving at Fuxian Lake, my friends and I had already booked a car in advance. It's about 100 kilometers to drive around the lake. If you can drive, I highly recommend renting a car for a self-driving tour, so you can stop anytime you see beautiful scenery.

Fuxian Lake in Yunnan | Romantic people have their own utopia
"The mountains in Yunnan are rich in soil, hence many rivers are dammed to form lakes🌊, and among these, the waters are mostly turbid, only Fuxian Lake is the clearest"—Fuxian Lake, as described by Xu Xiake, is indeed the lake of my dreams!
The water here is crystal clear to the bottom, and the gradient colors of the lake water are rich in layers, so beautiful it's almost criminal. Although it's not as famous as Erhai Lake, it is the largest deep freshwater lake in China, no wonder they say Yunnan has left Erhai Lake to the world, but kept Fuxian Lake for itself.
Sisters🧚♀️ must choose a good weather to visit Fuxian Lake, you will be amazed by its beauty!

🏯Accommodation
It is highly recommended for sisters to choose hotels or homestays with a lake view, because the starry sky over Fuxian Lake at night is simply too beautiful🌃! Or there are many hotels and homestays near Moon Bay Park, some of which will give away tickets to Moon Bay Park, which is very cost-effective.
On Fuxian Lake, the waves ripple gently. Originally thought the water was clear and colorless, but who knew that once drunk on Fuxian, one is immersed in a painting for a thousand autumns.

Fuxian Lake in Yuxi
The Fuxian Lake in the southwest of Yunnan may not be as well-known as Lugu Lake and Erhai Lake, but its scenery is not inferior to the former. I went to Kunming from Xishuangbanna, specifically stayed at Fuxian Lake for a few days, and took some photos in scenic spots such as Lu Chong Moon Bay and Cherry Valley as travel souvenirs.

The sun is shining brightly on the warm Fuxian Lake
Driving along the east road of the lake, we arrived at the southern edge of Fuxian Lake.
Turning a bay, a magnificent and calm lake surface appeared before our eyes.
Different from other lakeside scenic spots, there is a large expanse of grassland on the shore. The reeds and well-arranged plant groups on the grassland form a unique lakeside scenery.
This is Longhu Starry Sky International Resort.
Since it's called Starry Sky International Resort, the main selling point is naturally the infinitely spectacular galaxy and the bright lake surface under the moonlight.
But we arrived in the afternoon, naturally missing this magnificent view.
However, the design style of the entire resort is eye-catching.
On one side, there are mountains, lakes, grasslands, paddy fields, trees, and sunflowers.
On the other side, there are windmills, tents, slides, swings, food, and craft beer.
Imagine, in the starry night, young people are enjoying themselves in the music and bonfire, enjoying another home built in nature.
This place is like the Fuxian Lake version of Aranya, for a group of young people with the same lifestyle, values, and interests.
A lakeside, a starry sky, a natural grassland, a cup of coffee, a bottle of craft beer, a pair of lovers, a period of time.

Fuxian Lake Sun Mountain International Resort Town
A lifetime acquaintance, from destiny, a sincere affection, from sincerity, a greeting, from concern, a blessing, from the bottom of my heart, may the person I love be happy and safe forever. If hearts know each other, there is tacit understanding without words; if feelings are cherished, there is pity without words.

Xianhu belongs to the plateau lake, with an elevation of 1721 meters. It looks like a gourd. Fuxian Lake is only 70 kilometers away from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. With an area of more than 200 square kilometers and a maximum water depth of 151.5 meters, it is the second inland deep lake in China. The water quality here is excellent, the lake is crystal clear and the transparency is 7-8 meters. The northern part of the lake in Fuxian Lake is wide and deep, the south is small and shallow, and the middle is slender and shaped like a gourd. Surrounded by mountains, the lakes and bays are staggered. Standing on the lakeside, the water is clear and transparent; the eyes are far-sighted and the water and the sky are all the same.
The lake in Fuxian Lake is extremely clear and has maintained Class I water quality. The locals have always called Fuxian Lake as Haizi. Residents here often draw water directly from the lake. Fuxian Lake has a beautiful scenery. Every morning or evening, the lake surrounded by green hills will shine with emerald-like luster and luster under the rays of the rays of the sun.

Fuxian Lake is located in Jiangchuan District, Chengjiang County and Huaning County of Yuxi City. It is 52 kilometers away from Kunming in Hubei Province. It is an important leisure, tourism and holiday destination in the province. Fuxian Lake is China's largest water storage lake, the largest plateau deep water lake, and the second deep freshwater lake.
Because it is close to Kunming, it is the back garden of the Kunming people.
If you don't know where you are, look at the scenery in front of you and think you have gone to Sanya.
This white sand, trees by the lake, colored houses, all reveal the breath of the sea. Because of this, it has always been called "Sanya" in Yunnan.
Here, in the Ming Dynasty, our countrys first generation of travelers, Xu Xiake wrote in his Xu Xiakes Travels:
The mountain is only a lot of soil, so it flows into the sea, and The flow is turbid, but Fuxian Lake is the clearest.
This is enough to see the clear water of Fuxian Lake. I always spy on its beauty in the picture, and always guess what it looks like in the text.
This time, it turns out that it is really beautiful in the Bohai Sea, even more than the shoulder lake.
