But this time, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the treasure that is Fuxian Lake. It's just over an hour from Kunming, but the scenery is no less stunning than Dali. There are fresh flowers🌸, blue lakes, and pink beaches. You can go boating🚣🏻, climb mountains, and the photos look super good. .

You can find it by searching for Toad Stone Turn Water Cave, and the name is written at the entrance, making it easier to spot. It looks even better with the sun shining~

It's not quite suitable for commando-style tourism.

In Yunnan, there is a magical lake that seems ordinary on the outside but hides extraordinary features! Will you go there? Curious friends might ask, where exactly is this magical lake in Yunnan? What different landscapes does it have? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk today about Fuxian Lake. Fuxian Lake is located between Chengjiang County, Jiangchuan County, and Huaning County in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, more than 60 kilometers away from Kunming. The lake covers an area of 212 square kilometers, making it the third-largest lake in Yunnan Province after Dianchi and Erhai. It reaches a depth of 155 meters, making it one of the deeper lakes in Yunnan Province. Besides the volcanic crater lake in the northeast Changbai Mountains—Tianchi, Fuxian Lake is the second deepest known lake in China. Fuxian Lake is a north-south fault dissolution lake, shaped like an inverted gourd. It is wide and deep in the north, narrow and shallow in the south, and constricted in the middle. The lake's surface elevation is 1722.5 meters, the area is 216.6 square kilometers, the volume is 20.62 billion cubic meters, the average depth of the lake water is 95.2 meters, and the deepest point is 158.9 meters. It holds a volume of water equivalent to 12 Dianchi Lakes, 6 times that of Erhai Lake, 4.5 times that of Tai Lake, accounting for 72.8% of the total storage capacity of Yunnan's nine major plateau lakes, and 9.16% of the storage capacity of the country's freshwater lakes.

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.

❤️ A song by Li Jian, 'Fuxian Lake,' with its gentle voice, sings of the romance and melancholy of Fuxian Lake. It also introduced Fuxian Lake to more people outside of Yunnan. ❤️ I found that the water here is clearer and more tranquil than Erhai Lake, and I was truly amazed by this third largest lake in Yunnan.💥 ❤️ The water volume here is six times that of Erhai Lake, it's more magnificent and grand, not at all inferior to Yalong Bay in Sanya. ❤️ Moreover, it is very clean, with a transparency of 8m, while the praised 'heavenly beauty' of Tai Lake only has a little more than 2 meters of transparency. ❤️ Perhaps because not many people have set foot here, the deepest part of the lake reaches 155 meters, with an average depth of 87 meters, and a transparency of 7-8 meters. This is the natural lake with the best water quality in China. 🚗 Distance: It's about a 1-hour drive from Kunming, and it's approximately 100 kilometers around the lake. It is recommended to circle the lake clockwise, so you can travel on the side close to the lake. ✅ You can also take public transportation and then rent an electric scooter to travel around, but pay attention to the battery life, as it definitely won't last for a full circle around the lake. 📝tips Fuhai Bay Wetland Park: Free! The moored ships on the shore, the waves hitting the shore, and the boardwalk connecting land and lake... all are excellent shooting spots! 📍 Chengjiang City, Yuxi City, Yunnan Province
