At the end of the special year 2020, I can't look forward to the return of the wanderers. After all, I still want to take a walk and have a look. I can walk freely and imagine freely at any time. Looking at the rooster map, I finally freeze it in the south of the colorful clouds., this place with mountains and water.
In this special place, I have been to Dali, Lijiang and Xishuangbanna many times, and climbed the Yulong Snow Mountain several times. However, Kunming, who has stopped many times on business trips, always told me that it has always been a "transfer station" and never stopped. Stroll and appreciate it, decisively, I used Kunming as a foothold and walked around the surroundings.

So cold! During the entire stay, I truly experienced the real winter of 0-10 degrees in this veritable spring city, which made the down jacket and scarf I brought with me useful.
In my spare afternoon, I didn't want to find a teahouse to sit idle, but I chose the museum without stopping. I even took a fancy to the ancient town of Guandu on the side, which could not only be arty, but also be appetizing.
In fact, it should be the Yunnan History Museum. The entire museum is actually grand, as if it tells its long history. The long river is long, the sunset and the sunrise are repeated. Talking about dinosaurs? From the beginning, from the development of bronzes, the Dali Kingdom, illuminated by the Buddha's light, to the praise of the expeditionary troops during World War II, was relatively complete; the fly in the ointment was that due to temporary initiative and hasty afternoon time, coupled with ignorance of the history of ethnic minorities, we could only take a quick look and stop.
As for Guandu Ancient Town, it can only be said to be relatively disappointed. It is obvious that all the buildings are newly planned and neat. Compared with the noisy Jiangnan Ancient Town, Guandu is relatively empty and sells souvenirs and snacks. However, the flow of people is not too large, which avoids overcrowding. Taking a look will give you a unique flavor.

The small van group was full. In addition to the small space, the journey was bumpy and friendly; the whole trip took a long time and it was tiring to sit. Moreover, the road was being repaired, which took longer than the introduction and planning. Need to be prepared (food and drinks)
The weather is not beautiful, it has always been cloudy, making the scenery originally centered on the rich colors between heaven and earth slightly eclipsed, and when you see a little color change, you will feel a little excited. There are still some compensation: 1) Atuge, the tour guide and driver, took us to the farmhouse he owned by his house and tasted the delicious chicken pot and fresh farm vegetables. After a walk, the weather opened a little, and a little blue sky and white clouds also set off the mottled color of the land;2) The rime brought by the rare cold mountain climate, although only a little, felt very strange for people who grew at the mouth of the Yangtze River (of course, this curiosity disappeared after arriving at the sedan chair snow mountain).

Trip arrangements: One-day trip https://huodong.ctrip.com/ottd-activity/dest/t22149931.html, the bus goes there, and 80% of the journey overlaps with Hongdi (next time, staying in a B & B for one night may be a good choice?)
Actual: I personally think this little-known snowy mountain is better than the Jade Dragon: 1) After the cable car goes up the mountain, the altitude that needs to be trekked is only 300 meters, from about 3900 to 4200 meters. The scenery along the way is rich, ranging from broadleaf/coniferous/shrub/Grassland changes; The first part of the hike is in the forest steps, but it quickly enters the plains, with lakes and grasslands, which is quite vastness, all the way to the sedan curtain; The last section to reach the top of the car was relatively difficult. However, due to the team's gathering time, it was really impossible to reach the top.
At the foot of the mountain, there are rime everywhere, and the white branches are so dazzling under the blue sky and white clouds. It truly tells people the cold of the night. Walking on the mountain road, there will be patches of snow falling from time to time, attracting bursts of laughter, my mood inexplicably improved, and I also have more motivation to move forward...
As the height increases, we enter the low and gentle shrub grassland area. The "endless" grassland extends to the vague mountains in the distance. From the white-covered grass balls, we can't help but begin to daydream about the vitality of spring, and also planted the four seasons. The idea of enjoying the scenery, while tourists in twos and threes bravely stepped over the railing and began their leisure time on the grass; suddenly the ice lake that came into view once again reminded people of the harsh winter days under high-intensity sunshine;
Facing the strong wind blowing away, I secretly rejoiced at the slow change in altitude. I didn't have time to regret forgetting my hat, so I quickly walked to the cabin before embarking on my way home.
Although the temperature on the mountain is low, general winter clothing is enough, and there is no need for oxygen tanks and some food (chocolate, beef jerky, favorite drinks...). Many local people go to this snowy mountain to play, bringing self-hi pots and cosplay props, it is not a good decision to go on weekends! (The long queue time for the cableway directly affects the climb to the top of the mountain)
Continue to attach online pictures and real shots. Although there are differences, the beauty is the same!
Haigeng Park: It's just the migration and stay time of seagulls. To be honest, some were surprised, so many, flying in teams at low altitude, or skimming the lake, causing little water, or standing on the railing, looking into the distance, or wandering on the pedestrian road and rushing to find food. This is the first time I saw so many seagulls. They entered the country forcibly without nucleic acid testing or isolation... They are also in close contact with humans. I wonder if it will bring danger. I hope that various organisms in nature can coexist peacefully.
Xishan: It seems like I went there for the first time. I took two cable cars (Haigen to Xishan, Xishan to Longmen). It was okay. I walked close to the mountain wall, watched the scenery of Dianchi Lake, and listened to ancient stories. Time flowed slowly.
In the future, you should buy a one-way cable car in Xishan, and take a bus to the subway entrance on the return journey: Haigeng (cable car)-Xishan (cable car)-Longmen (walking + battery car)-Xishan (bus)-Shanxia Subway Station (Line 3)

High-speed rail round-trip: Kunming Station-Kunming South Railway Station-Puzehei, daytime sightseeing chartered bus (directly from the subway), 500 yuan, to be honest, quite expensive. However, since it is not the tourist season, battery car connection in the scenic area is not a good choice.
A typical karst landform, and Puzhei, known as "water pastoral, lake peak forest, Yi water town, karst wetland, lotus world, migratory bird paradise", is still amazing although it has not fully developed due to winter.
With the well-advertised aura of "Where are we going, Dad?" and "Three Lives of Peach Blossom", coupled with the quiet wetland park, Swan Lake, Qinglong Mountain, and clear sky and clear water, the one-day trip is very good. However, the entire scenic area is undergoing renovation and preparation to apply for 5A. It is still beneficial to walk from the outside, avoiding those unnecessary attractions, and also having the opportunity to go to Puzhehei Village to eat beef hot pot!
Wetland Park: Walking slowly along the walking path, watching the blue sky and green mountains reflected on the wave-free water, my heart also quieted down, afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the years;
Qinglong Mountain: You can see the entire Puzhei Scenic Area, but I just have the idea of climbing high. In addition, the beef hot pot for lunch is very greasy, so I still go up. It is not high, just 108 meters... 540 steps.
Due to the good weather, the difference between online pictures and real pictures seems not to be so big!
This was a day of rest. I went shopping in Kunming City, and bought several dried wild fungi. Although they were sold online, it was also very interesting to see and pick on site. Unfortunately, the mushroom market is preparing to relocate, and it is not the peak tourist season, so I don't see fresh mushrooms. It is a small pity. Thanks to the development of domestic express delivery, I will send them directly home after buying them, eliminating the trouble of large bags of luggage.

To remember this name exactly, it really comes from the TV series "Nirvana in Fire", one of Brother Su's planned itineraries after his revenge; the real Fuxian Lake is distributed in Chengjiang and Yuxi cities, while the travel agency's route is in Yuxi's Luchong Scenic Area, which mainly includes Moon Bay Wetland Park and Luchong Scenic Area. The weather is pretty good.
Wetland Park: Facing the huge lake, waves of "lake waves" came slowly, but I was not interested in it. I took my mobile phone and taught myself to try time-lapse photography. The effect was very good. I was secretly happy to get new skills;
Luchong Scenic Area: Stroll around, climb a hill, eat lake fish hot pot, taste some flavors of Pu 'er tea, and buy several tea cakes. Finally, on the last leg of the journey, I satisfied my shopping mood and I can happily go home.
