Things to do in Eshan

I visited Wanfenglin in mid-to-late October, and it wasn't as beautiful as I expected. There were no rapeseed flowers, and the rice paddies had already been harvested. The scenic area isn't very large; you mainly travel by sightseeing bus. You really need to come at the right time to see the beautiful scenery you imagine.

Yuxi is a grand garden with crystal-clear Yuhu Lake where egrets frolic and flowers bloom year-round. Every weekend, cultural performances are held, featuring songs, dances, lanterns, and operas, allowing visitors to experience the charm of this music capital.

On my second trip to Dali, I stayed for three days. On the first day, I stayed at Erhai Park, facing north to enjoy the view of Erhai Lake. On the second day, I stayed at Shuanglang Ancient Town, facing west to see the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake together. On the third day, I cycled from west to east along the Erhai Ecological Corridor to enjoy the view of Erhai Lake. I also went to Yunxiang Mountain Road for extreme mountain biking, Shuanglang, Xizhou Ancient Town, Dali Ancient City, etc. Every angle offered a different perspective of Erhai Lake. The scenery in Dali is truly beautiful.

It's a worthwhile scenic spot to visit. Climbing the stairs up might be a bit tiring, so we took an electric cart. There was a guide on the cart explaining how to pay homage to Buddha, which was quite nice. The scenery on the mountain is also beautiful, and the air is very fresh. If you come a little later in the day, it won't be so sunny, making it quite suitable for hiking. The weather in Mile is really changeable; it was sunny when we went up, but cloudy when we came down. Shortly after we got on the cart, a strong wind and heavy rain started, so we were quite lucky.

It's said that you haven't truly been to Xishuangbanna if you haven't been to Ganlanba. The scenery here is breathtaking, brimming with tropical charm. Lush coconut groves and greenery surround the villages, while rustic Dai bamboo houses are scattered throughout, dotted with pagodas and ancient temples, creating a tranquil and captivating atmosphere.

My visit to the Yunnan Provincial Museum was made incredibly fortunate by the professional and gentle guidance of Ms. Cui. The entire experience was excellent, and I gained a great deal. I wholeheartedly recommend her! Ms. Cui possesses a solid and profound knowledge base. Her explanations are logically clear and progressively structured, avoiding dry and tedious rote memorization. Instead, she seamlessly connects Yunnan's ancient Dian civilization, the Nanzhao and Dali kingdoms, and its modern ethnic history, weaving scattered artifacts into a vibrant tapestry of millennia-old cultural heritage. Regarding the museum's prized artifacts, such as the Bronze Ox and Tiger Case, the Four-Ox Gilded Knight Shell Container, and the Garuda, Ms. Cui meticulously dissected the artifacts' shapes, craftsmanship details, and historical significance, supplementing the content with numerous interesting anecdotes and cultural backgrounds beyond the textbook. The originally static and impersonal artifacts became warm and engaging under her vivid narration, allowing us to truly understand the unique charm of the ancient Dian culture and the brilliant heritage of Southwest China's civilization. Ms. Cui's pacing was perfect, maintaining an appropriate pace and making the explanations easy to understand, catering to the comprehension levels of different visitors. Throughout the visit, she was patient and gentle, proactively answering questions with a kind and responsible attitude. Her passion and sincerity for cultural heritage work were palpable. What was initially a cursory tour became incredibly meaningful thanks to Ms. Cui's professional explanations. We not only gained a deeper understanding of Yunnan's millennia-long history but also immersed ourselves in the unique cultural heritage of the region. An excellent guided tour is the key to unlocking history. Many thanks to Ms. Cui!

Although Jianshui Ancient City is a relatively niche tourist destination in Yunnan, this visit provided me with a unique experience! The city is clean and tidy, the tourism management is quite standardized, and the ancient city ruins are well preserved. The Zhu Family Garden, in particular, deeply impressed me with its rich local culture; it's likely a microcosm of the ancient city's heyday and definitely worth a visit. Allow ample time to savor and appreciate its beauty!

Fuxian Lake Tourist Resort, also known as Fuxian Lake Scenic Area, is located in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, and belongs to Chengjiang City, spanning Chengjiang City, Jiangchuan District, and Huaning County. It is an excellent summer resort!

Although it's a refreshing scenic area, within a small area, there are deep canyons, steep cliffs, and waterfalls like Huanglong and Zhenzhu cascading down like silver ribbons falling from the sky. The mist splashes, and the water's impact cuts straight to the earth's core. The calcifications on the rock walls resemble the growth of Ganoderma lucidum. It's no exaggeration to say that this is one of the most beautiful scars on Earth. I suggest upgrading it to a 5A-level scenic area and highly recommend visiting it.

Animal interactions within the park are charged separately, and it depends on the individual… some are a bit pricey, others are okay. But it's still fun, kids have a great time, and you'd need at least 4 hours to experience everything at a leisurely pace. The sightseeing bus system is well-designed.
