On September 15, Yunnan's medium and high-risk areas were cleared, and the Yunnan Province Department of Culture and Tourism issued a notice to resume cross-provincial tourism. It is the right time to travel during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!

There are three places not to miss in Yunnan in September: Lugu Lake, Tiger Leaping Gorge and Dongchuan Red Soil.

Lugu Lake, who wants to miss it? It has always been the white moonlight that I have been longing for. It not only has beautiful scenery, natural and simple folk customs, but also retains the unique customs of walking marriage for thousands of years. It is a world-famous "Eastern Daughter Country".

I can't count the number of times I have been to Lugu Lake on a finger, but every time I feel that this is really a place that can create many beautiful things. The sky and water are one color, the sun is beautiful, and the stars are vast... On the calm lake, the majestic green mountains are reflected. If a small boat suddenly cuts the silence in the mountains, it will turn into a flowing landscape painting.

The blue water of the lake is clear, like a mirror in the sky. Time slows down here. It is best to do nothing and be in a daze. Sit until the sunset rises, and the sky is full of colorful clouds symbolize good luck in the future.

Tiger Leaping Gorge, 35 kilometers away from the First Bay of the Yangtze River, is divided into three sections: upper tiger leaping, middle tiger leaping and lower tiger leaping, with a total of 18 dangerous shoals. Shanghu Tiao is the narrowest section of the entire canyon.

On both sides of the canyon, high mountains stand tall. To the east is the Yulong Snow Mountain, and to the west is the Haba Snow Mountain. The two snowy mountains are covered with snow all year round, making them particularly spectacular between the towering peaks.
