On the 21st and 22nd, I booked a one-day trip through Ctrip. This service is quite convenient and very suitable for free travelers who do not drive themselves and do not want to join a group for a long time. After booking, a staff member will contact you to determine the location of the hotel. If it is within the pick-up range, you only need to have a car near the hotel to pick up and pick it up to the departure point at the specified time early that day.
No. 21: Shilin and Jiuxiang
There is a saying in the local area: Look at the stone forest on the ground and look at the nine townships on the ground. Stone Forest is a postcard of Kunming and is famous. Everyone can touch the stone forest that has lasted hundreds of millions of years, close your eyes and have a spiritual dialogue with the ancient times. The entire park is divided into the Big Stone Forest and the Small Stone Forest. The Big Stone Forest is more famous for its famous word "Stone Forest" and the calligraphy treasures of many celebrities. However, the Small Stone Forest is more beautiful because of its Ashima. Although it is close, its own styles have their own characteristics.
Jiuxiang is a karst cave formed by karst landform. Because Brother Jackie Chan's "Myth" is well known to many tourists, fragments of the play are repeatedly played on the screen at the gate after entering the scenic spot. Because my preferences are different, my humble opinion is that all caves in the world are similar. The key is to see if the lighting effect inside can clearly display the characteristics of various stalagmites, stalactites, stone pillars, etc. The karst cave in Jiuxiang goes deep underground. In the end, it is necessary to take a cable car up and then take Route 11 to reach the ground.
No. 22: Fuxian Lake
Fuxian Lake does not belong to Kunming. It is located in the Chengjiang River in Yuxi. The lake is surrounded by 11 scenic spots, large and small, suitable for slow vacations. Each scenic spot has its own characteristics. A one-day trip to Ctrip includes three of the most classic attractions: Fuhai Bay Wetland Park, Fuxian Lake Red Sand Beach and Luchong Scenic Area.
Fuhaiwan Wetland Park has large tracts of lavender and blue lake water. In winter, swarms of seagulls from Siberia come to Kunming for the winter. The wetland park is their favorite. This also indirectly explains our country's protection of the ecosystem, and their arrival fully proves this point. When lavender is in full bloom, this is a holy place to check in.
The sand on the red sand beach of Fuxian Lake is not natural red, but the sifted red soil is artificially spread here. Blue sky, white clouds and red soil complement each other, and white, red and blue clothes are the best choice for taking photos. It has not been developed yet. It is said that there is an idea of development. Because the epidemic has been shelved, the original ecology is still preserved (there is no toilet).
Luchong Scenic Area is really suitable for sitting on a recliner and thinking for a whole day. Travelers who like to take photos must come and ensure that they have a large picture and the scenery is not inferior to Sanya, which was not over-developed at that time. Fuxian Lake is second only to Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake in area. It is the second deep-water lake after Changbianshan Tianchi Lake, and it is responsible for replenishing fresh water. Therefore, rowing is only a form of pedaling, but it is highly recommended. You will experience what it is to ride the wind and waves. It is very exciting.
No. 23: Haigeng Park, Haigeng Dam, Dounan Flower Market and Guandu Ancient Town
Haigeng Dam is a good place to get in close contact with seagulls. The two favorite foods of seagulls are 10 yuan for 3 packs of gull grain and Dali Garden buns. This year's tourism boom, about 50 people feed a seagull, so taking photos of close contact with the seagull requires considerable patience. Haigeng Dam belongs to the periphery of Haigeng Park and is built around Dianchi Lake. Food and play are very mature. There is also a cable car to climb the West Mountain in the park. Hikers who like to climb mountains can climb the West Mountain first and rest in the park after coming down. They can replenish their energy when they are hungry.
Dounan Flower Market is the largest flower market in Asia and the second largest in the world. After 8 p.m., there are bulk transactions, and before this, it was retail. It was really difficult to walk inside. Not only were there many people, but I really couldn't leave to see all kinds of fresh flowers. During the Spring Festival, the express delivery was closed, but the packaging was still there, so I put the flowers I bought in a carton. The size was 20*20*80. I could only check them and not carry them with me. It was the first time I checked it, and I didn't know if it would be crushed, so I was very nervous. Fortunately, Air China staff handled it properly and followed me home intact.
Guandu Ancient Town: It is a well-known historical and cultural town in Kunming with a long history. Now the commercial atmosphere occupies the vast majority of it, but walking in the streets of the town, it is interesting to imagine that Duan Yu from Dali Kingdom once lived here. When visiting these monuments, you really have to integrate your rich imagination into it to appreciate its beauty.
No. 24: Because I had to catch a noon flight, I rushed to the dam early in the morning to feed the seagulls who had not yet had breakfast. Unexpectedly, the seagulls were also sleepy. They waited from 7:30 until 8:00 before flying in groups. After arriving, they didn't eat first. Instead, they stood up on the lake and kept flying. I guess they wanted to eat more after exercising, haha.
This is the first travel note since Ctrip. I don't know how to write it, so I present it in the form of a running account to leave a memory for myself and hope to serve as a reference for other friends who are going.
