    The most beautiful lake on Earth, rivaling Sayram Lake. Yunnan people sold Erhai Lake to outsiders and kept Fuxian Lake for themselves. I've visited both Sayram Lake and Fuxian Lake, and they truly share the same beauty, yet distinct styles. Furthermore, Fuxian Lake holds an extremely important position in Yunnan's ancient life history. Those interested in archaeology and geology should explore it carefully.

    Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum is worth visiting and learning with your children. You will have a very detailed and three-dimensional understanding of the origin of the earth🌏, the past of the earth🌏, and the history of the earth's development. Various animal fossils and specimens "jump" off the flat books. The three-dimensional presentation in front of the children is very shocking. Children can watch, touch, and feel it on the spot. In this way, they can better learn to protect the environment, love nature, and love all rare animals.

    Yuxi Moon Bay Wetland Park: A dreamy nature trip ✨ 🌳 took advantage of the weekend, I came to the Yuxi Moon Bay Wetland Park that I was thinking of. It is really great here! Stepping into the park is like breaking into a green fairy tale world, full of green plants lush, hundreds of plants grow wantonly, it is a natural botanical garden. Walking along the lake, the clear blue lake sparkling, the lake shore line twists and turns, and the beauty of the garden intertwined, as if a beautiful landscape painting, people can not help but stop to enjoy. What surprised me most was the open coconut grove shadow beach on the south side of the lake, the delicate white sand, the tall coconut trees, and the umbrellas and lounge chairs. The proper sun coast has a sense of sight, which really makes people think they have arrived in Sanya. The entertainment here is also super rich, whether you want to enjoy the sand on the beach, enjoy parent-child time, sweat on the tennis court, or take a water-pedal sightseeing boat to enjoy the lake view, you can meet. There are also children's boating, beach slides, inflatable amusement facilities, children do not want to go when they come! Taking pictures is even more amazing. There are many special photo scenes in the park, such as prisms, the gate of the sky, the sea of sunflowers, lotus ponds, purple verbena areas, rose gardens, etc. Any shot is a fashion blockbuster. I took a lot of beautiful photos here, and the circle of friends was praised. The supporting facilities of the park are also very complete, providing bicycle rental services, riding a car to visit the park slowly, not to mention more comfortable. Tickets 30 yuan can also deduct consumption in the park, which is really cost-effective. Parking around is convenient, the bus can also be directly accessible, there are hotels and various restaurants opposite, there is no need to worry about eating and accommodation. The only small shortcoming is that some entertainment projects are charged separately. The overall cost of playing may be a bit high, but this does not affect my love here at all! I highly recommend everyone to punch in, and I will really get an unforgettable travel experience!

    Bus Route 2 runs from Hongta Mountain in Yuxi. On March 24, 2025, at 4:22 PM, ascending the steps below Hongta Mountain, red cherry blossoms bloomed on both sides, creating a wide and imposing staircase. Some signs carried popular slogans, such as "I miss you at Hongta Mountain. Next stop is in your heart." Bus Route 2 runs from the "Hongta Group" stop at the entrance. Buses run infrequently in Yuxi, making taxis inexpensive.

    Due to the lower temperatures in winter, there are not many tourists around Fuxian Lake and there are fewer audiences watching the performances. However, the actors from various countries in the Fuxian Lake International Circus still performed very professional and enthusiastic performances. The festival choreography was interesting, and the actors interacted well with the audience, especially bringing a lot of joy and laughter to the children present. Compared with the night markets and Internet celebrity man-made attractions around Fuxian Lake, the circus performance at night is more joyful and joyful, and it is worth a try.

    Fuxian Lake, Yunnan's third-largest lake, is located in Yuxi City, central Yunnan. It boasts beautiful scenery, convenient transportation, and affordable prices, making it a great value for money. It's well worth a visit and a perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Yuxi's pace of life is moderate, and its population, at just over 2.2 million, is less than a third of Kunming's. It truly offers a vibrant and picturesque scenery with fewer people.
