About two thousand years ago, from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with Dianchi Lake as the center, tribes such as Laosi, Mimo, and Sou integrated the surrounding ethnic cultures, Central Plains Han culture, Chu culture, and foreign culture to form a culture with strong local characteristics and distinctive characteristics-ancient Yunnan culture.

Now the Jinning area of Kunming is the capital of the ancient Dian State and the birthplace of Dian culture. In addition to its remote culture, the climate of this area is also unique. During the National Day period, the sun was shining brightly here, without the heat of midsummer, and unlike many northern cities that had already experienced the chilly cold winds. Of course, I was attracted to Gudian at this time because of the colorful Yunnan·Ancient Dian City Life Festival.

There are always some festivals worth dressing up; there are always some joys worth sharing together.

New friends and old friends gather together at the rich scene of the "Gudian Life Festival", accompanied by family, life, music, art and beautiful scenery; the grand music scene, warm parent-child handicraft activities, active low-carbon running activities, and interesting cute pet parks... Every day in Gudian is new, and every day is a colorful life.

The most touching concert

Music is the most touching carrier. The Jiulian Real Man × Zang Hongfei Special Limited LIVE at this ancient Yunnan Life Festival, and the concert by the wandering poet Li Quan are particularly exciting.

Love at first sight and know it well

Without saying a word, I will go to the east

The picking boat has crossed thousands of mountains

Five fingers playing the piano against a cow

A colorful world with no owner

Seventy and eighty years old look back and see where I am

……

Li Quan is not only a singer, but also an artist. What surprised me the most about this life festival was that it was said to be a solo concert, but it was actually the first show of a new song. I like the song on the new album that was unexpectedly empty and empty. Of course, I feel so happy to be the first listener this time.

On the other hand, Zang Hongfei's unrestrained talk show and music interpreted free expression in the most direct way and all the flavors of life, which we fully appreciated. I don't understand the lyrics of Jiulian Zhenren's Hakka dialect, but the music can infect people. Teacher Huang Liaoyuan once said that the music of Jiulian Real Man looks small, but it is actually very rich, literary and emotional, regional and vast. It is actually more story-oriented and musical. Perhaps the Hakka dialect makes its audience a little small. If so, this small audience is naturally and precious. I agree with this very much. Even if I am not a young woman with pseudo-art who particularly loves rock and roll, I appreciate their persistence and attitude more.

During these concerts, I prefer to sit on the grass a little further away and enjoy the concerts while having my own small space and brewing my own emotions ~

In addition to the stars 'special concerts, the thing that moved me the most during this life festival was the owners' party of the Light Collection Night and Gala Festival ~

A full chorus of "My Motherland and I" commemorates the 70th anniversary of the motherland. A drama makes laughter come one after another. A recitation brings warmth and innocence to everyone. The casual dance leaves memories between light and shadow. The stage and the stage are integrated into one, like a big family ~

Can you imagine this is a property owners 'party? I really didn't expect that the owners of the famous city of Colorful Yunnan and Gudian were so versatile. I couldn't help but ask a landlord next to me. It turned out that this was an activity of the community organization Shiguang Society spontaneously established by the owners of the famous city of Colorful Yunnan·Gudian. Shiguang Society also has a variety of activities on weekdays. It often organizes tours around the owners. There are also choir, dance classes, yoga classes, calligraphy classes, etc. Such a harmonious and wonderful community really makes people yearn for it!

I always yearn for those peaceful moments, where my body and mind can be emptied and I can feel it in the purest and pure environment.

This time, the first outdoor tour of the southwest of the world-renowned troupe Youren Shengu at the Ancient Dian Life Festival and the tent theater of CIE NONNOVA's very creative troupe "Fauding Afternoon" allowed me to find such insights.

The Youren Shen Drum, which has won countless art performance awards, awakened my soul with the drum drums on the north square of the Gudian Tourist Service Center, with the pool as the stage and the sunset in Dianchi Lake as the background.

Excellent, in traditional Chinese opera, refers to the performer; God refers to the tranquility and selflessness that people enter under high concentration. Youren Shengu is known as a mountain legend from the mountains and forests.

As the drums sounded, the wind in Dianchi Lake seemed to travel through time and space, with an ancient atmosphere, raising the clothes of excellent people. For a moment, it seemed as if the drums originated from the sky, and people and gods danced together. That beautiful and elegant posture, with a single stillness, seems to make people meditate, their souls leave their bodies, and be transmitted by the drum to the distant, unpredictable, and unimaginable time.

In just 40 minutes of performance, I felt like my soul had been washed. This time, the Youren Shengu is a legend along the Dianchi Lake.

The tent theater of CIE NONNOVA very creative troupe "The Faun Afternoon" moved me a mess with the simplest props and the fewest actors.

An actor, 6 electric fans, a pile of plastic bags... I seemed to see myself in it. Those moments of touching, joy, and excitement, those accompanying, chasing, and entangling; those angry, panicked, sad, desperate... those flying in the air are not cheap plastic bags, but fragile souls. The faun said: When the wind comes, you come. Loneliness, creation, love, excitement, enjoyment, boredom, destruction, loneliness. The faun said: The wind passed, and the world returned to its original state.

With such a simple performance,"Afternoon of the Faunn" seems to expose my worries and fears, my hidden desires and pleasure, as well as my disguised indifference that attempts to maintain indifferent maturity. In an instant, tears fell like rain, the tense emotions were released, and all that remained was relief.

In the fast-paced city life, we rush to work and go home. The three-point and one-line life keeps us away from nature for too long. On the green lawn of the Love Square of the Ancient Dian Life Festival, the IMark x Environmentally Friendly Orienteering 2.0 family holds hands and runs unbridled together, feels the breeze blowing against their faces together, and enjoys the gifts of nature together.

(Because of the uniform clothing, some younger babies don't even have to use pants when wearing big T-shirts! Especially cute ~)

Looking at the excited and happy expressions on the children's faces, I really regretted not bringing my one-year-old deer. I always worry too much, but the little guy misses out on too many interesting experiences: making a wreath of a city of flowers by hand, experiencing the tie-dyeing process with Yunnan characteristics, etc. Some things have to be done together to make it very meaningful ~

Wherever you accompany you, your home is there.

The important thing about parent-child craftsmanship is not the perfect work, but the time they have with each other to improve the quality of parent-child companionship.

The Love Square of the Ancient Dian Life Festival also has small animals that the deer love very much. The small animals are our eternal friends. They use their own unique language and soft and cute bodies to express their friendship and love for us. Just as precious moms like me will show a loving aunty smile when they see cute children who are about the same age as their babies, babies are also naturally fond of cute pets. Usually, they can't bear to leave when they see cats and dogs. This time, the alpacas in Dora's cute pets (which are rare in ordinary times ~) are extremely popular, and the babies want to take all the alpacas home ~ The alpacas can't be taken away, but we can be good friends for a day or try to feed them in person.

How I wish that we could spend our time together without mobile phones, iPads, or TVs, just joy, interaction and communication. Meet the best of you and give you the best of me. Next time I come to Gudian, I will definitely bring the deer with me!

Of course, in addition to this special program of the Ancient Dian Life Festival, the regular projects of Colorful Yunnan·Ancient Dian City are also very fun ~

Theme park with the most ethnic characteristics

The most interesting city in ancient Yunnan is the Colorful Yunnan·Happy World Theme Park. Dianchi Lake covers an area of more than 700 acres and has more than 80 amusement projects. As soon as you enter the park, you are attracted by the unique peacock flower bed and the Eye of Dianchi Lake Ferris wheel behind it. From the front, you look like a peacock opening its screen. Because the Ferris wheel is tall and takes a long time, and the scenery is unique. It is strongly recommended to sit in the evening. When the sun sets in the west, the forest is dyed, and the red color hangs above the clouds.

Recommended must-play items:

Snow Eagle Wide Wing Roller Coaster,(Red Track) Experience the intense stimulation of 360-degree rotation and rolling, with a length of 1024 meters and a maximum of 45 meters.🎢The whole journey is super fast! Don't close your eyes! That way you will miss too many beautiful scenery.

Elephant Opera Dragon Roller Coaster,(blue track) has a total length of 1095 meters and a height of 38 meters. It belongs to a rare "launch" roller coaster. It accelerates the car body to 105km/h in 2.5 seconds, which means that this roller coaster never has a slow start. In the process of moving forward, I feel the speed and passion in the first second of running (the extremely strong feeling of pushing the back is far beyond that of a high-end sports car, and it feels like I have boarded a rocket), and I can't stop. I don't even have the chance to be afraid.

Twin Towers Space ShuttleOf course, the process of ascent is not terrible at all, and you can also casually overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire park (if you don't have time to ride the Ferris wheel, you can take this instead). Well ~ I will pause before falling to give you time to mentally prepare ~~ Then... it will be a complete free fall time, the feeling of weightlessness after my butt rises into the air ~~em~ Very scary ~ But after the end, I will have endless aftertaste. I can't wait to play it again.

Feixiang Cinema , highly recommended, an event suitable for all ages. The realistic flight of "Flying over the South of Colorful Clouds" takes you to experience the strange landscape of Yunnan and appreciate the simple folk customs. It is like flying above the clouds, passing through forests, flying over mountains, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Take a panoramic view.

Shuixiu-The classic Dai mythological story "Peacock Princess" is based on it, which perfectly integrates multiple high-tech special effects. The water show performance mainly tells the love story of the peacock princess and the Dai prince who went through hardships and the lover finally got married. The beautiful visual feast brings people an immersive feeling and a yearning for beautiful love. These two programs have very strong regional characteristics that will never be experienced anywhere else ~

Colorful special trainIt is suitable for friends who want to take a break after being tired of playing. They can enjoy the scenery of the park while singing and blowing in the wind.

There are many people during public holidays, so it's best to arrive early and remember to get a map at the door. Happy World is open from 09:30 to 20:30, but the park opens at 9 o'clock. Large-scale amusement projects such as roller coasters may not be fully open until 10 o'clock during debugging and testing. You can play some middleweight projects first. Very time-saving.

Want a hot spring trip to heal your body and mind?

There are 108 open-air pools in the Hot Spring Villa, hidden among garden vegetation. Looking at the hot spring, the water vapor was dense, and all fatigue dissipated. Is there any more comfortable enjoyment than this?

So I highly recommend coming to Gudian Hot Spring Villa for a rest after a day of crazy fun in the Happy World! It is said to be a rest, but I still see some babies having a good time and are not willing to go ashore at all ~

Gudian Hot Spring Villa has high-quality indoor soaking pools, 72 outdoor soaking pools, and 7 characteristic theme areas, each with a view, allowing you to fully experience the charm of Yunnan's nation and ecology. The hot spring water of Gudian Hot Spring Villa is a natural hot spring dug deep 2622 meters underground. The hot spring water is rich in trace elements such as metasilicate, lithium, sodium, calcium, and zinc, which have the effects of detoxifying and beautifying skin and relieving fatigue ~

The most recommended thing is the endless pool on the top of the mountain. Climbing to the top of the mountain is a bit tiring, but the scenery is particularly beautiful as a fairyland ~

After soaking in the hot spring, come back to the cafeteria to fill your stomach and have a perfect day to get it ~

The consumption period is 16 hours. 72 outdoor soaking pools are open from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.🍜🍜🍜

When you are too hungry, it is not suitable to soak in the hot springs. If you feel hungry, it is best to eat something first. Of course, you can't eat too much to soak in it. The bath can be soaked repeatedly for 20 to 30 minutes each time. If you feel dry mouth and chest tightness, climb up to the pool to rest and drink some water to replenish your moisture.

Stroll through the most beautiful wetland park by Dianchi Lake

Want to experience the long-lost nature?

It was a relatively prosperous fishing port during the ancient Yunnan period. It is close to Liangwang Mountain in the north and faces Dianchi Lake. It is the most beautiful place in Kunming to watch the sunset.

In late summer and early autumn, I came to Gudian Boutique Wetland Park. After entering the gate, I walked straight in. Both sides of the road are filled with yellow-crowned chrysanthemums blooming and swaying in the breeze. Moving forward, the trees are flourishing, and plants such as calamus and reeds are dotted along the road along the bank. All kinds of plants stand tall and graceful, each showing its charm. Looking into the distance from the bank of Dianchi Lake, the sound of water is beating and the vision is wide, making people feel relaxed and relaxed.

The wetland park covers a bit large. It is highly recommended for a family to rent a bicycle to circle the wetland park, breathe in fresh air, and watch the sea and sky color!

If you have enough time, you can also take a pleasure boat out of the "sea" and enjoy a swim in the vast Dianchi Lake. In my opinion, swimming on Dianchi Lake is not an "amusement" event. Dianchi Lake has a very wide view. It is sparkling under the sun without any wind and waves. Find a seat by the window and sit down, and all the fuss will disappear without a trace.

If the time is not particularly enough, you can choose to come for a walk in the evening, watch the sunset, and wait for the wind to come ~

Play with little tips

If you come over at noon, you will still have a little sun. It is extremely comfortable to enjoy the cool in a cold place. Admission to the Wetland Park is 30 yuan, but if you choose to stay at the Crowne Plaza Hotel next to the park ~ The hotel will send the ticket, and there is a special car at the entrance of the hotel that can take you into the Wetland Park ~

Arrival method:

It is right next to the World of Joy and it is recommended to take a free shuttle bus to get there.

From the city to the scenic spot: K31 and K38 roads, get off the Colorful Yunnan Ancient Dian City Station.

Yunnan's must-miss delicacies

It seemed a little late to come to Gudian to eat mushrooms on National Day, but I still caught up with the 2019 last season mushroom banquet in Yixin Garden, a nursing town in Gudian: fresh and sweet matsutake, tender and smooth chicken fir, fragrant cantallettes... very delicious. Yixinyuan Restaurant draws on the essence of China's eight major cuisines, innovates Yunnan cuisine, and forms a unique "Yixinyuan Cuisines".

Simple stir-fried Dianchi shrimp. The shrimp is fresh and medium-sized. After frying, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender. It is really sweet every bite ~

It's not the season, nor is it that we can't eat fungi. Although the dried fungi are not fresh and delicious, they are still enough to comfort the stomachs of us people from other provinces. For example, my favorite fried boletus. The thick mushroom meat is crisp and smooth, making the entrance unforgettable.

There is also this very special appearance of highland barley and millet rice.(From a distance, I think what kind of stone slices it is?) When cut open, the outer layer is highland barley, and the soft one in the middle is millet. Although it is sugar-free and salt-free, the taste level is still plump, healthy and delicious.

Food is indispensable in life, and health preservation is indispensable. The main way of health preservation is the key.Shihexuan Medicinal Medicine Health HallIt is the place where my health care group definitely has to check in.

What I, a Cantonese who loves soup, cannot resist most is this copper pot fish.

Shihexuan's copper pot fish uses wild carp in Dianchi Lake supplemented by medicinal diets such as Bawang flower, Polygonatum odoratum, Angelica sinensis, Coix seed, and Codonopsis pilosula. Then boil it in a copper pot. This copper pot soup is milky white in color and has a fragrance. It is not only delicious, but also nourishes yin, moistens dryness, and strengthens the spleen and stomach ~

Mixed with acanthopanax senticosus salad, this magical leaf has the effect of resisting fatigue and restoring energy. It tastes slightly bitter and then returns to sweetness. It is very special.

When the dried rice with the thick aroma of medicine arrived, I thought it was some insect, but only when I picked it up did I realize that it was ground ginseng. Medicine-scented thick dried rice is a specialty of Dali, and ground ginseng is actually fried and eaten as snacks. Ground ginseng has anti-tumor, blood fat reduction, anti-aging, blood sugar reduction, regulating menstrual disorders, relieving menstrual cramps and cardiovascular diseases. Its function is equivalent to Cordyceps sinensis (so it also looks like insects?)

Crown Hotel's Dianchi 1887 all-day restaurant cannot be missed! This restaurant, named after the altitude of Dianchi Lake, has won numerous reviews for its high-quality buffet breakfast and breakfast meals and a la carte lunch. My gourmand Haopeng goddess can't forget about the Hainan chicken rice at Dianchi 1887 All-Day Restaurant. Hainan chicken rice is a famous Singapore dish, and Alex, the chef of Dianchi Lake 1887, is a Malaysian specialty that he is particularly good at. Southeast Asian cuisine is my favorite ~ In fact, the further you go south, the closer you will find that Yunnan cuisine will be to Southeast Asian cuisine. It is not inconsistent to come to Yunnan to eat Southeast Asian cuisine at all ~

Coming to this rare pure land and living in the famous city of Colorful Yunnan and Ancient Yunnan, I can finally put aside my worries, be adjacent to the lake, be company with the scenery, and slow down to pay attention to and feel the life itself, and find the most ordinary and free ideal in life.

There is the most Yunnan lifestyle here. In addition to the Life Festival, there are also ancient Yunnan family banquets that contain Yunnan aesthetics and art, and a series of entry projects that return to life. They are exciting and joyful. If you are interested, you can search for WeChat and follow the public. Colorful Yunnan·Ancient Yunnan City. There is not only a life festival there. No matter what season you come to Gudian, you will receive a surprise and a part of the most Yunnan lifestyle that you are most looking forward to.
