In addition to the 104 Jacaranda special train, Kunming must not miss the cableway in Xishan
Cherry blossoms in March, camellia in April, and jacaranda in May. Every season in Spring City, there are different romantic flowers.
The periwinkle blue stains the beauty of the journey, and the warmth of early summer is vaguely hidden in the air. It is really beautiful.
Suggest friends who can set out pack their bags
Take the No. 104 Jacaranda special train to go to an appointment where grass grows, orioles and flowers bloom all over the city
In addition to enjoying flowers, Kunming can also go to the Xishan Mountains and take a cableway cable car to have a 360-degree hug with nature; go to the Haigen Dam for a walk and wait to meet the seagulls; and go to Daguan Park and other sunset under the Ferris wheel.
Xishan Mountain is located on the west bank of Dianchi Lake, stretching for more than 40 kilometers. It is also known as "Biji Mountain"(as if Yunnan's famous mountains are related to chickens) and "Sleeping Beauty Mountain". It was once known as the "Eight Scenery in Southern Yunnan". The West Mountain covers a vast area, with lush vegetation and quiet scenery. Hikers can climb from the bottom up and prepare hiking sticks, mineral water, dry food, etc. Due to the epidemic, many shops in the scenic area are not open. It is recommended that you purchase a joint ticket for the scenic spot (tourist bus + cableway cable car + sightseeing battery car). You can take the cableway, cross Dianchi Lake, reach Xishan Cableway Station, first climb up to Longmen, and then slowly go sightseeing.
When I went in April, the cableway and cable cars from Dianchi to Xishan were under maintenance, so I took the cableway and cable cars from Xishan. Although this original cable car is a bit too challenging for people with fear of heights, the scenery along the way is really worth it. I attach a video recorded by me trembling with my little pig trotters ~~
Longmen is composed of Sanqing Pavilion and Longmen Grottoes. Due to the steep and steep terrain, the scenic area has arranged tour guides to lead tourists at the gate. Generally, 4 to 5 tour guides set out in groups. Once again, I would like to remind you that everyone must wear comfortable and non-slip shoes to go up the mountain. The sneaker at the bottom is slightly less slip resistant. I slipped in the tunnel of Longmen, which hurt both PP and self-esteem.
"Longmen Scenic Scenery" is characterized by "strange, unique, dangerous and secluded", and there are countless folklore about the excavation of Longmen. Following the footsteps of the tour guide and passing through the winding and rugged stone roads, the vision gradually widened. Dianchi Lake and Spring City were all in view. The sea and sky were in the same color. It was very pleasant to lean on the railing and listen to the wind here. Down from the Dragon Gate to the Sanqing Pavilion, the Spirit Palace, Laojun Hall, and Zhenwu Palace were all built on different heights against the cliffs. It is hard to imagine how the craftsmen of those days relied on manpower to complete such buildings and fine carvings in such a dangerous place.
After Sanqing Pavilion, you can take a sightseeing bus to continue the tour. Due to the rush of time, it is a pity that you will not have time to visit Huating Temple, Taihua Temple and Nie Er's Tomb.
Haigeng Dam is a place where people have the motivation to get up early. Get up at 7 o'clock in the morning, have breakfast, take a bicycle, and ride slowly along the greenway to Haigeng Park. There are towering trees along the way with pleasant humidity. Take a deep breath and carry the air full of negative oxygen ions into your lungs. After the epidemic, a total of three entrances and exits have been reserved for Haigeng Dam, and places with security guards can be scanned to the dam.
The Dianchi Lake in the morning is immersed in fog. The waves contain smoke, and the distant mountains are dyed with white flowers. It has a bit of a misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is more simple and simple. Like locals, bring some bread and walk around, leaving shredded bread on the stone railings along the way to feed the seagulls that have not yet returned home.
Some people said that I came late and missed thousands of seagulls. They went home at the end of last month, and now the rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled.
I would rather believe that they just chose a different direction. A place where peace of mind is my hometown.
Daguanlou, together with the World Expo Park, Golden Hall, Wildlife Park, and Xishan, is also known as the "Five Scenes of Kunming". It was built during the Kangxi Period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong Period, Sun Yanweng wrote a long couplet for it, which was written and printed by the celebrity Lu Shutang. Daguanlou became a famous building in China due to the long couplet. Daguan Park is connected by pavilions and pavilions. It is famous for its mountain scenery. Unfortunately, it is not well maintained and is a bit desolate. The Daguanlou was built next to the water. It is said that the building contains many cultural relics such as plaques, calligraphy and paintings, but it is generally closed now.
Daguan Park covers a vast area and is divided into seven areas: Near Huapu, Louwailou, Bonsai Garden, Dongyuan, Yuzhuang, Luyuan and Xiyuan New Area. The new building is not fully open. There is also a wetland park. Migratory birds often inhabit here, so many bird lovers come here to watch and take photos.
I was lucky enough to meet a group of photography teachers that day, waiting for the sunset by the embankment. The breeze was gentle and the sun was warm, and time flowed as calmly as a lake.
Nature's cycle of sun and moon has a beauty that never repeats itself. It may also be that people waiting always have a different mood.
