December is the baby's birthday, and the baby is five years old. I wanted to go skiing, but I chose Yunnan, which has a better climate, for various circumstances. I visited Yunnan eight years ago, including Dali, Tengchong, Ruili and Xishuangbanna. This time, I plan to visit Honghe Prefecture and Wenshan, enter and exit Kunming, rent a car and drive, and connect several world heritage sites and Internet celebrity attractions on the road.

Our journey lasted for a total of 13 days and 12 nights. We booked a ticket back and forth to Kunming through Chengjiang, Fuxian Lake, Jianshui, Yuanyang, Hekou, Wenshan, Qujing, and finally returned to Kunming for the return journey. The total journey was 2443 kilometers. As I get older, I take my baby and mother with me, avoid mountain climbing trips, and focus on leisure and sightseeing interactions.

Self-driving:

This time, it is also considered a loop line, and it is not far away from a few points. However, Yunnan's expressway is not as developed as Guizhou. Starting from Yuanyang, Yuanyang-Hekou-Pingbian-Wenshan-Malipo, all national highways, provincial highways, county roads... Some sections of the road are still relatively bad. High-speed roads are under construction nearby, so there are no traffic jams on the road and the scenery is quite good.

Meals:

Yunnan's food is still good, with all kinds of mushroom vegetarian dishes and steaming pot chicken. This time, I ate the hotel and dry food throughout the journey, and I feel that it is still a very good choice.

Accommodation:

With your child and your mother, you basically stay in well-known local hotels all the way. Except for the Fuxian Lake Hotel and Jianshui Famous Hotels, which are slightly more expensive, the hotels in the city are extremely cost-effective. In the end, it is a pity to miss the legendary Maitreya Huquan Tianyi Hotel.

Tickets:

At the time of the epidemic, all tickets this time are basically discounted at half, and all on-site purchases do not have the sense of urgency to grab tickets during Guizhou's summer vacation.

D1: Kunming

In the afternoon, the China Eastern Airlines plane arrived at Changshui Airport on time. I picked up the car smoothly and drove directly to the Cuihu Hotel next to the Cuihu Lake in the city. It was an old state-owned hotel. The hardware was not new and the room was not large, but the service was very good. Butler service, swimming pool reservation system, parking was also convenient, and free food in the room was delivered to one table a day, which was indeed a bit too much.

D2: Journey to Yuanmou

Today is the first day of the tour. We set off for Yuanmou County, Chuxiong. It took less than three hours to Kunming. We first went to the Yuanmou ruins. Our baby is already used to archaeological trips. Yuanmou, Yuanyang, and Yuanjiang are known as the Three Kingdoms of Yunnan. It is said that Yuanmou does not know what winter is. It is indeed more than 20 degrees here.

After getting off the highway and walking all the way, it didn't take long to reach Yuanmou Man Ruins Park. It was still under construction and was relatively simple. Except for a few monuments, I could only feel the atmosphere. But this place is written into textbooks and is worth visiting.

After leaving the ruins and returning to the county seat, I went to the Yuanmou Museum. Parking in the square is 2 yuan. The museum is not big, but it systematically introduces ancient humans and Yuanmou's landform. Yuanmou is a basin. No wonder it is so hot.

Not far from Yuanmou County, the Yuanmou Soil Forest is worth visiting. It is very shocking here. You can take a car to the top of the mountain, see the scenery all the way, and walk all the way down. It is very good to walk through the various scenery inside the soil forest. It is said that the Yuanmou soil forest was carved into strange shapes by the god of wind and rain after millions of years of crustal movement. Therefore, many photographers, geologists, and well-known directors have been attracted to visit and take pictures. The films filmed here include the Promise and the Thousand Miles Alone.

Mom waited until we returned to Shanghai and still said that Tulin was sweeter than Shilin. Look at the beautiful scenery of the soil forest and flying drones. There are not many people in the scenic area and it is very comfortable to take photos.

After the preview was completed, I went back to the hotel. The Chinese restaurant on the ground floor was really reliable. The steaming pot chicken was a great example, the service was good, the price was moderate, and all kinds of delicious food were worth a try.

D3: Feeding red-billed gulls at the Jindian Temple of Taihe Palace, Kunming Museum

Today was a relatively casual arrangement. The first stop was to the Kunming Museum in the city. I came here to mainly see Kunming's oldest building-the Dizang Temple Sutra Building. The entire museum was built around this stone carving. As soon as you enter the museum, the entire hall is a Buddhist building. This antique was built during the Dali Kingdom of the Song Dynasty and is carved from sandstone. The surface of the building is slightly yellow. There are seven levels in total. It is carved with moderately sized and exquisite Buddhist statues all over it. It is still very shocking.

Before the museum was built, it was a park, and it was also built around buildings. Now the museum has several exhibition halls, which are not much content. It introduces some content related to Yunnan and takes a quick look at it.

Leave the museum and go directly to Mingfeng Mountain, 7 kilometers northeast of Kunming. There is the Golden Hall of Taihe Palace here. You can drive directly to the door. Parking during non-holiday peak hours is still convenient. This is a famous Taoist temple in Yunnan. The environment is very quiet, but the most famous is the bronze hall inside. The golden hall was first built in the Ming Dynasty. It was built by Yunnan Governor Chen Yongbin in the style of Taihe Palace and the golden hall on Tianzhu Peak in Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province, to worship the Northern Pole Zhenwu Emperor. The existing golden hall was rebuilt by Wu Sangui, the Western King of Qingping, and weighs 250 tons, which is heavier than the golden hall on Wudang Mountain.

The Camellia Garden around the Golden Hall has various garden scenery, which is also quite beautiful. Take the baby to climb high and ring the bell to pray. It's nice to see historic sites, climb mountains, and see small flowers here.

There were very few tourists, so they could only take care of some lunch and drive to Kunming Haigeng Dam in the afternoon. Not far away, the dam was full of red-billed gulls. We found a hall opposite to park and started the gull-feeding journey along the Dianchi Lake. December is the best time to see red-billed gulls in Kunming. It is now an absolute Internet celebrity attraction. The place here is spacious and there are no tickets. In winter, thousands of red-billed gulls fly here from distant Siberia and feed them bread and bird food at will. It is very enjoyable. What time in the morning I took two bags of bird food, but it was not enough. The baby ran happily, bought a lot of bread and bird food, and took photos of various shapes and shapes. Everyone, young and old, had a great time.

The seagulls here first came in 1985. When a group of red-billed gulls came to Kunming from distant Siberia, Kunming citizens brought food from their homes to feed them; then, they came to Kunming every winter without abandoning them. Dianchi Lake and Cuihu Lake. Every winter, citizens come here to feed seagulls. After checking, the red-billed gull is not a protected animal, but Kunming regards it as a business card and takes care of it very well.

Back at the hotel, the Chinese restaurant was booked and ordered directly to the room. It was still delicious.

D4: Kunming North Railway Station (Yunnan Railway Museum), Chengjiang Fossil Land, Fuxian Lake

After waking up, I am preparing to leave Kunming today.

Today's destination is Fuxian Lake. The first stop on the road is to visit the Yunnan Railway Museum at Kunming North Railway Station. The museum consists of the south museum and the north museum. The south museum is based on the century-old French classical building of the "Yunnanfu Station" of the Dian-Vietnam Railway. The north museum is a modern building that extracts elements of the high-speed rail passenger station. A railway steel frame bridge is connected between the two museums, spanning the three tracks of the station, integrating the museum and the station in operation. The museum is not big, but it is very interesting.

During this trip to Yunnan, my wife is still very looking forward to the Diannan-Vietnam Railway. Here is a comprehensive introduction to the Diannan-Vietnam Railway. It is a systematic introduction all the way from Kunming to Hekou. It is very interesting. In addition, Yunnan has standard rails, meter rails, inch rails, and various specifications of railway types. It also added more expectations for us to find attractions along the railway in the future.

After leaving the museum, I left Kunming. First, I went to the Maotianshan-Chengjiang Fossil Site. It is an unknown world heritage site. Tickets are not required. There are not many tourists at the fossil discovery site. It is a large mound of earth, but it is said to be a pilgrimage for paleontologists.

At 3 pm on July 1, 1984, Hou Xianguang discovered an early Cambrian invertebrate fossil in a loose rock formation. He discovered three important fossils that day. After further identification, they were found to be the fossils of naroworm, gilded shrimp worm and nippongworm. This discovery opened a door to the treasures of early Cambrian palaeontology. Since then, Hou Xianguang has successively discovered fossils of early Cambrian palaeontology such as arthropods, jellyfish, and worms. Later, he and his mentor, Professor Zhang Wentang, wrote "The Discovery of Naroworms on the Asian Continent", and named the animal fossils of Chengjiang as the "Chengjiang Fauna" in the paper.

Take photos, leave the starting point, and go to the museum 8 kilometers away. The museum that just opened in August claims to have an investment of 600 million yuan. This museum should be the best natural history museum in the country. It is right on the bank of Fuxian Lake. Entering the exhibition hall, the huge fossil earth wall in the hall is very shocking. Various high-tech, sound and photoelectricity, in the exhibition hall, focus on ancient organisms. The free guided tour introduction was very eye-opening. After learning about the outbreak of life in the Cambrian and the Cambrian Overlord "Strange Shrimp", the baby was a little scared but also a little curious. The fossils here are not big, a bit different from what we imagined. It is said that the most unique thing about the Chengjiang fossils is that the soft body structure of ancient organisms 530 million years ago was actually turned into fossils and completely preserved in the rock layers. These fossils of ancient organisms not only preserve the bones of organisms, but also preserve various soft tissues such as epidermis, cilia, eyes, intestines, digestive tract, mouth, and nerves. The Chengjiang paleontological fossil group vividly reproduces the magnificent landscape of marine life 530 million years ago and the original characteristics of modern animals, and proves the authenticity of the Cambrian Big Bang, breaking the limitations of Darwin's theory of evolution, and is known as "One of the most amazing scientific discoveries of the 20th century", a museum that is definitely worth a visit, and an eye-opener.

Anyway, the information posted online is full of praise and admiration for the Chengjiang Fossil Land. It is definitely worth a visit!

A few kilometers away from the museum, you will find the Hilton Hotel by Fuxian Lake. It is in a great location to watch the sunset. The hotel service is good, the front desk is not pleasant at all and has no major impact. The children also enjoy the various amusements here, walking by the lake, having tea, and taking a look at the scenery.

To say it's a pity, I didn't eat the fish waves from Fuxian Lake (the hotel only had 0.5 kilograms in total, and it was sold out).

D5: One-day trip to Fuxian Lake

When I get up early in the morning, there is Fuxian Lake outside the balcony, with beautiful eyes. Today, we are preparing for an in-depth tour of Fuxian Lake. The first stop is Fuxian Lake Park. The biggest feature of Fuxian Lake is its water quality. Class 1 water quality can be drunk directly. There are no motor boats in the lake except for emergency boats, and the water is quite clear. Fuxian Lake ranks third in Yunnan in area, but the average lake water is more than 90 meters deep and has a huge water storage capacity. There are also various wild birds and red-billed gulls here, but manual feeding is not allowed for fear of polluting the lake water.

Leave Fuxian Lake Park, take a look at the scenery along the lake, continue to walk around the lake, and go straight to Jieyushi Park on the roadside. It is the middle part of the Yudai River where Xingyun Lake connects Fuxian Lake. It is said that fish from the two lakes will swim here. They will turn back, creating a miracle of Jieyushi that "the two lakes intersect, but the fish do not interact".

The park is very small and there are not many tourists, so it is worth a visit.

The last stop on Fuxian Lake was reserved for Gushan. You must ferry to the island. You can choose to pedal your own boat or take a human boat. In short, there is no internal combustion engine power. Gushan is the only island in Fuxian Lake. The island is not big and there are not many tourists. It is very comfortable to climb high and see the lake. Gushan is known as the "Jasper in Yunnan" and is known as a wonderful beauty in the world. The scenery is beautiful and the best in Nanzhou. It is worth visiting.

Say goodbye to Fuxian Lake, continue south, and stay in Jianshui tonight. When I visited Yunnan eight years ago, I visited Jianshui because of steaming pot chicken. I visited it again this time. It was my favorite ancient city. The ancient city began to develop commercially, but it did not overdo it. Chaoyang Tower was still the same building, and there were many B & Bs.

I chose Tingziyun B & B, the best in the ancient city. The B & B itself is an ancient house. The parking lot is 300 meters away from the B & B. The service of the B & B is really good. The middle transfer bus comes to pick us up and pick up our luggage. The boss saw that we had extra breakfast and upgraded the room, so I still deserve to thank you. After putting away my luggage, I went out for a walk, and walked along Lin 'an Road. This was my mother's first visit. She passed by the Xuecang Examination shed and took her baby around before closing the door to learn about the imperial examination culture at that time.

Continuing along Lin 'an Road, the baby was hungry and went out to the west gate to find Osaka Well. The Sakai Tofu Shop opposite made the baby very satisfied. His wife also added a lot to Jianshui tofu for this bite. Soymilk, tofu pudding, fried tofu, it's really delicious.

I went to the well to take a look after my food. The baby was very busy and satisfied with the water. Back on Lin 'an Road, the baby played street games and found an Internet celebrity restaurant. Nicholas Tse had done a show and ate local grass sprouts, and he was satisfied.

D6: Jianshui Small Train

The breakfast at the B & B was very delicious. After breakfast, thanks to the helpful staff, we drove a shuttle bus to Lin 'an Small Railway Station. At first, the boss was worried that their shuttle bus would not be allowed to drive to the train station. I was worried that it would be too late for me to drive myself. Thanks to the enthusiastic help of the waiter. The last time I came to Jianshui, I didn't have a small train. This time, I took my baby and took a bus to play. This is the route based on the previous "Gebishi" railway. I learned about it at the Railway Museum in Kunming before, but now the inch track has been changed to the meter track. The train is a real thing. In the Kunming Section of Kunming Bureau, the train starts from Lin 'an Station and ends at Tuanshan Station, stopping at Shuanglong Bridge and Xianghui Bridge in the middle.

At 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., there are two buses, one round trip for 4 hours and 40 minutes. It feels a little roaming and very comfortable. Get on the train at Lin 'an Station, take photos on the platform, and the wooden carriage slowly. The first stop is Shuanglong Bridge. The attendant on the bus will also lead a team to explain the whole process and take a tour around Shuanglong Bridge. This bridge is a well-known scenic spot in Jianshui. It is commonly known as the "Seventeen-Hole Bridge". It is a large stone arch bridge with three pavilions and seventeen holes. It spans the water surface where the Lujiang River meets the Tachong River. It is one of the famous historic sites in Yunnan Province and has been included in the history of bridge building in China. It is very beautiful. Parking here is only about half an hour, which is enough.

The next stop is Xianghuiqiao Station. Here we mainly look at the platform. The platform is an old building and original goods. Stop for 20 minutes to take photos and tour.

The last stop is Tuanshan Station, which is the ancient village of Tuanshan Village. There is more than 2 hours of sightseeing time here. Tuanshan Ancient Village is a fusion of local ethnic culture and Central Plains culture. It has many historical relics. It is also a quiet place in Jianshui, Yunnan that is not disturbed by too many people.

In fact, these points are not far from driving, but the slowness of the train is still very worth experiencing.

The train takes 40 minutes directly to Lin 'an Station (Jianshui). Along Yinghui Road, you can choose a snack bar and sit down and start roasting tofu. Thinking back to the roadside station roasting tofu eight years ago, the corn kernels are still counted and all kinds of tofu are fragrant.

To say it's a pity, the small roll of powder in the alley was not found this time. Walking all the way to Chaoyang downstairs, my mother looked at the scenery and took photos. This was the same original product as Tiananmen Square.

The Yuanyang red rice pancakes made by the eldest brother in Northeast China on the roadside are also unique and will replenish energy for our next stop, Yuanyang.

After leaving Jianshui, we go to Yuanyang on the National Highway. The road is not good. There are many sections of National Highway 245 and Linya. Due to the highway here, there are also many large carts of various kinds being built. Originally, I could go to Yuanyang to watch the sunset, but I encountered a temporary road closure and demolition of large protective devices on the national highway of the construction party. It was delayed for an hour. The road before entering the Yuanyang terraces was still very good. I chose Wanshan Resort Hotel in Qingkou Scenic Area. The price is affordable and the restaurant tastes good. The hotel did not include breakfast at the time of booking, but the surprise was that the hotel actually said,"There is no place around, breakfast is delivered for free by our hotel." Give me a good comment! This place is not very popular, but at least it is a World Heritage Site in 2013! However, business cannot be compared with Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces at all. It still feels like farming civilization, and there are few opportunities for farmhouses.

D7: Yuanyang Terrace Hekou Port

The best way to watch the sunrise on Yuanyang Terrace is at Duoyishu. It is a 40-minute drive one way. You need to come back and forth for breakfast. You give up decisively, eat breakfast calmly, and just look at the beautiful terraces on the annex observation deck.

Tourists are basically camera men, with various majors. When you check out and leave the hotel, the first stop is to Bada Scenic Area. Tickets are not required for the entire Yuanyang Terrace. Only a few small scenic spots require tickets. One ticket is all available and it is not expensive. There are several viewing points on the road to take photos. The two viewing points in Bada Scenic Area are very spectacular. See the introduction Starting from the Malizhai River at an altitude of 800 meters, thousands of layers of terraces continue to extend to an altitude of 2000 meters. At the top of the high mountain, the Hani villages such as Malizhai, Bada, Shangmadian, and Quanfuzhuang are held high into the sea of clouds. More than 3700 terraces are like ladders, reaching the sky.

Moving forward, there are Hani Xiaopen friends doing business on the mountaintop observation deck. It is indeed quite farming here, and the commerce is underdeveloped. The baby changes into famous costumes to take photos. It is not a long distance to Duoyishu. Here, you can directly see the terraces. The door is under repair, so parking is quite annoying. Fortunately, there are fewer people and fewer cars. It is located at an altitude of 1900 meters, and there are 650 hectares of terraces distributed on 25° to 50° slopes like bays such as Duoyishu, Aichun, and Dawazha. It is the best scenic spot for viewing and photographing Yunhai terraces, sunrise and shanzhai. The famous scenery film "Yunnan Story" was filmed with this terraced field and village as the main scene.

The Laohuzui geological disaster is closed, and we have not seen the sunset at Qingkou or the sunrise at Duoyishu, but the Yuanyang Terrace is still worthwhile.

Leave Duoyishu, continue on the national highway over the mountains, take national highways 553 and 219, and follow the Yuanjiang Road south.

There were not many tourists and cars on the road. When we got on the Kaihe Expressway, there were almost no vehicles on the way and it went straight to the estuary. Security checks in border cities were stricter. After getting off the highway, we went directly to the Hekou Port. No one was concerned about the epidemic. Almost all shops were closed, and parking was convenient. The Nanxi River and the Yuan River meet here, and the Yuan River enters Vietnam and begins to be called the Red River.

The port has been closed and all border trade has stopped. Walking around and looking at the boundary pillars, ports, gates, Hekou Transit Bridge and Hekou Station of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, the scene of extreme prosperity in the past is now completely gone. I am lucky to see Vietnamese trains crossing the border for goods. From Kunming to Hekou, the journey was complete. After leaving the port and staying at Yunling Xinhewan Hotel, which is also the best hotel in the area. On the day of check-in, it seemed that there were only 8 rooms with guests. The restaurant was still open and the swimming pool was fully open. The service was indeed good. Give me a good comment.

D8: Herringbone Bridge Wenshan

Go to the hotel's own observation deck in the morning and you can see the Hekou Freight Port. Trucks on the bridge are constantly traveling between Vietnam and China. I don't know how the drivers can prevent and control it.

There is only one scenic spot away from the estuary today-the Pingbian Erren Bridge, an important point on the Dian-Vietnam Railway.

Driving all the way along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway for a long time. The road is not difficult to walk. Walk slowly, look all the way, and reach the Ringzi Bridge at noon. No tickets are needed, and the farmhouse starts climbing the mountain bridge for dinner.

Follow the steps all the way until you reach the railway. You start to pass through a tunnel along the railway and reach the bridge deck of the Miter Bridge. The wind on the bridge is very strong and very spectacular.

The Ringzi Bridge, also known as the Wujiazhai Railway Bridge, is a ribbed three-hinged arch steel beam bridge on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway Line. The bridge is located in the Sicha River Grand Canyon, Wujiazhai, Heping Township, Pingbian and Miao Autonomous County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. Between Boduqing Station and Luogu Station, the bridge is a landmark project of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and an important physical material for studying the history of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and Chinese bridges. It is included in the History of World Famous Bridges. The Wujiazhai Railway Bridge was built on March 10, 1907. It was designed by Paul Borden, an engineer of the French Badinule Engineering and Construction Company, based on the principles of applied mechanics and constructed by his company.

The Wujiazhai Railway Bridge is 71.7 meters long, 4.2 meters wide and 102 meters high. The bridge deck is 102 meters high from the deep line of the valley bottom. It is all connected by steel plates, grooves, angle steel and rivets. It is said that in order to build it, all the constituent parts were broken down and designed to withstand transportation by one person. All of them were built by manpower. They were assembled on site and 800 workers were killed in repairing the bridge. It was very difficult. Going down through the tunnel opposite the Miter Bridge, the dirt roads for local people are really difficult to walk on. It is recommended to go forward and take the repaired tourist steps.

Leaving Ringzi Bridge to Wenshan, the shortest route that Baidu and Gao De did not recommend was the road. We decided to give it a try. Sure enough, this road was the worst road this time. We had to go up the mountain and walk parallel to the railway. The dirt road crossed the railway line and started the rugged and muddy road. Fortunately, there were not many cars. There were forest farms all the way, heading for Heping Town, and all the way to Wenshan. This road was still the shortest time. After a bumpy journey, we finally got on the Tianhou Expressway and successfully arrived at Wenshan, the hometown of Sanqi.

When staying at Fenghuang Jinjiang Hotel in Wenshan, a big city hotel, the restaurant dishes are good, but as a specialty, many of them use pseudo-ginseng. The medicinal flavor is strong and it is really a bit bitter. Not bad!

D9: Journey to Laoshan Mountain in Malipo

Today we will go to Malipo and Laoshan. There is no high speed, so we can only use Provincial Highway 210 and National Highway 246, all kinds of fog, and all kinds of climbing mountains and ridges. Fortunately, the road surface is good, and border inspections are still very strict. All kinds of forms are filled, and even you have to press your fingerprints. Malipo is located on the border and the main site of the recent counterattack against Vietnam. It is said that wars have been fought here for a long time in history until the 1990s. The county is supported by people and it is very difficult, but there is also history here, dating back to the Stone Age, and it is a place worth visiting.

It is a pity to go to Laoshan first. Due to the epidemic, the main peak is not open, so we can only see a few war relics at the foot of the mountain. Red tourism, well constructed, exhibition halls, magic artillery positions, landmine exhibition halls, various scenery.

It is not far from Tianbao Port. Tianbao Port is smaller than the estuary and more depressed than the estuary. The country gate is isolated. We can only look at the country gate and transit vehicles through barbed wire. Walking around, there are very few tourists and businesses around us have no business at all.

It was still early, so I returned to the city and decided to visit Dawangyan at the Malipo site. This is a Stone Age work. Dawangyan Park is on the roadside in the city, and parking around can only be done on the roadside. There are no doors in the park, and you can see an extremely steep staircase on the roadside. There are no handrails and it goes straight up and down, which is a little afraid of heights. There will be a relatively gentle staircase 300 meters along the highway network. It is under construction now. It is relatively muddy and the road is not easy to walk. Anyway, the two stairs lead to the end to the wall of Dawangyan. The Dawangyan Cliff painting is located on the wall of Yangjianao, 500 meters east of the city.

It is said that the cliff paintings are divided into two groups, but there is no introduction. The rock painting area is completely enclosed with thick cement walls and iron doors. Only the main rock painting landscape can be viewed from a distance. It is still very good. It has been identified as a Neolithic work. It is worth seeing in this small border town. Dawangyan Shanghai has a way to climb to the top of the rock and overlook the entire Malipo. Take a rest at the top of the mountain and start returning to Wenshan.

Driving past the Malipo Martyrs Cemetery, the war was too cruel, so I looked at it at the door to show awe.

There were many big cars on the way back, but fortunately everything went smoothly. Because my wife had an urgent mission, I had to rush to Hunan the next day. The next day, I had to take my baby and mother to continue traveling to Yunnan. After fine-tuning my schedule, I decided to stay in Wenshan for an extra night.

D10: Pu Zhehei

I sent my wife to Wenshan Airport early in the morning. There was a lot of fog.

Going to Puzehei is also on the way. There are no highways along the way, but the road surface is excellent. I arrived at Puzehei smoothly and the weather is extremely hot.

Tickets are not required for scenic spots. The visitor center buys tickets directly for the scenic spot and first goes to Shuangjiashan Wharf to take a boat ride. Due to aid construction in Shanghai, the ID card can be discounted by 70 yuan per card. The boat is average for an hour, and there are not many tourists. The boat is traveling all the way in the painting. It feels like traveling in the middle of the river. It is all karst landforms, and the small hills are very beautiful in the water. Passing Swan Lake, due to the season, there are no swans, and we can only see the beautiful scenery. 70 minutes is very leisure. Arrive at Qinglong Mountain and climb the Qinglong Mountain Observation Platform. On one side is Puzhehei Village (where to shoot Dad), and on the other side is the shooting location of Sansheng III's Ten Miles Peach Blossom. It is very beautiful. Several karst caves were closed during the epidemic.

Get off Qinglong Mountain and go directly to Line 2 of the scenic area and return to Pucaotang Wharf. On the way, you can get off and visit Puzhehei Village, Xianren Cave and other scenic spots. When you return to Pucaotang, you will continue to transfer to Line 1 to Xihuang Wetland, where many locals are playing. The local language of Puzhei means a pond full of fish and shrimp. Everyone here really has a net bag. It won't be long before you can fish a bucket of tilapia. No skills are needed. I'm amazed! There are monkeys raised by people in Xiaokongshan in the wetland. The pontoon bridge is full of monkeys and can be fed. The baby has a good time. I didn't want to be too late, so I returned to Wenshan smoothly.

D11: Shilin, Bisazhai Jijie Station

When you get up in the morning and leave Wenshan, you first go to Bise Village in Mengzi. From Wenshan, you will go all the way to Honghe. Bise Village is famous for Feng Xiaogang's beauty, but it is also the core hub of the Dian-Vietnam Railway, the junction of meter gauge and inch gauge gauge. station. You can drive directly to Bisezhai Station, but there are not many parking spaces. You can also park in the scenic spot parking lot and take a sightseeing bus to ferry there for 20 yuan.

The main business here is to borrow clothes to take photos. The price is not expensive and recall that era. This is actually a national key cultural relics protection unit. The entire station is within the scope of key cultural relics protection and retains many historical relics. I saw and introduced Bisezhai Railway Station in the Kunming Railway Museum. The station was built in the first year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty. It was initially named Tickzhai Station and later named Bisezhai Station. In the seventh year of the Republic of China, it was approved as a special station. In 1992, passenger transport at Bissezhai Station was suspended; in October 2010, Bissezhai Station was cancelled. It is a fourth-class station under the jurisdiction of the Kunming Bureau of China Railways. It passes through the Kunhe Railway and the Bishi Railway. Currently, the Bisezhai Dian-Vietnam Railway Historical and Cultural Park is under construction here. It is worth a visit.

Leave here and drive to Jijie Station in Gejiu. This station is not as famous as Bi Se Zhai, but it became a cultural protection unit earlier than Bi Se Zhai. This is a place where the track remains. In 1970, the Ministry of Railways expanded and renovated the inch gauge railway in the Jijie-Shiping section. That year, it was expanded to meter gauge and connected with the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.

The Jijie-Gejiu section could not be renovated due to congenital deficiencies and was suspended in 1990. This is not a tourist spot. Find a place to park at the end of the path. The station is dilapidated and the platform is piled with rails. The main building of Jijie Station is a imitation French building that combines Chinese and Western. The waiting room is square in plane and has a platform in the south, which is quite beautiful. Laiji Street is also a trip to the Dian-Vietnam Railway without regrets.

I completed the last two tourist spots on the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway before noon and took my mother to visit the Stone Forest. This place wasn't originally in the tourist catalog. I came here with my wife eight years ago. This time my wife left the team, my mother still needed to take into account the travel content and gave up the parent-child Maitreya (Huquan Tianyi Hotel, which missed the legendary Maitreya) and went directly to the famous Shilin. It takes 2 hours, and the entire journey is on high speed and reaches Shilin directly. Now the parking lot is 400 meters away from the tourist center. It is 1.5 kilometers from the tourist center to the scenic spot. You have to take a scenic spot bus. There weren't many people, but it was still very cold when the cold air came. I found an Asma tour guide to explain to my mother, and my mother took photos and said that she was enjoying it. Back then, I went to the Small Stone Forest with my wife, which was the Ancient Stone Forest and the Jiuxiang Cave. This time, I took my mother to the Small Stone Forest here.

Stay at Hongyue Lake Hotel in Luliang that night, the most cost-effective hotel on this trip.

D12: Three major stone steles in Qujing in colorful sarin (Cuanbao Zi Stele, Cuanlong Yan Stele, and the Alliance Stele of Duan's Family and Thirty-Seven Departments)

I left Lu Liang early in the morning and went to Shalin to have a look first. Yunnan Stone Forest, Tulin, Shalin, Mom always wants a complete success. On the way, I passed the Cuanlongyan Monument. This is a national security monument and a top-notch calligraphy stone carving! Unfortunately, I can't see the original interior decoration, so I can only take a walk outside and visit here.

We are the first group of tourists in colored sarin. The interior area is not large and the natural scenery is still good. Add some humanities from the legends of the Three Kingdoms and sand carving art to it. The sarin here is formed by weathering and denudation. The layers of sand cliffs, sand pillars and sand peaks are mainly golden, white, red and gray, interspersed with black, blue, green, blue and other colors. They are colorful and dazzling. In addition, different seasons, climate, sunshine and viewing angles produce colorful colors. Overall, my mother likes earthen forests best, followed by stone forests, which is just a place to visit.

In order to go to Changshui Airport and go home the next day, I rushed to Qujing City in the afternoon and checked into the Qujing Official Hotel, which is near the South Gate. There are Cuanbaizi Stele and Duan's Alliance Stele with 37 Departments in the urban area of Qujing. Both were national security records in 1961. They are both on the campus of Qujing No. 1 Middle School. A site was built in the school and a museum was built. I drove there to investigate. The opening hours are every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, for a few hours in the morning and afternoon. It just happened that we arrived on Thursday and didn't open until 3 p.m., so we happily went back to the hotel to tidy up. My mother was not interested in this, so she decided to visit the hotel's circle of friends.

I went around alone. The "Duan's Clan and the Thirty-seven Departments of Alliance Stele" was erected in the fourth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (971) and was erected by the Duan Clan of Dali State. This stele is a precious physical witness to explore the long historical origin of the unity and friendship between ethnic minorities in Yunnan's history. It is also an important stele cultural relic of the exchange and integration of ethnic minority history, culture and art and the Han history, culture and art, as well as the calligraphy art of the Song Dynasty. It is rare in Chinese history. It is a rare physical evidence of recording ethnic minority historical events, ethnic minority languages and ethnic minority rules and regulations in Chinese characters.

The full name of "Cuanbao Zi Stele" is "the tomb of Cuanfu Jun, the former General Zhenwei of Jin Dynasty, the prefect of Jianning". It is a stone tablet made of sand and gravel. The entire stele body is rectangular and the head is semicircular. The inscription has 5 lines of 3 characters per line. The inscription has 13 words. There are 13 lines of 4 words on the inscription. The entire monument has a total of 403 words. The inscription tells the eulogy of the short-lived Cuan Baozi. The four-character parallel prose that resembles Han Fu and Yuefu is enough to show its unique historical position in the history of my country's literature and the culture of border ethnic groups.

Anyway, these two steles have a very high status in the calligraphy world, so I can only watch the excitement and visit here without leaving any regrets.

D13: Going home from Qujing Changshui Airport

After leaving the hotel, it took about a kilometer to get on the expressway and went straight to Changshui Airport, and went home smoothly...

This trip is one of the longest trips in recent years. This time, we chose the less popular southeastern route of Yunnan. The scenery is also quite rich, with all-encompassing history, humanities, natural landscapes, and ethnic customs.

I hope that the epidemic will end soon and traveling will be happier.
