After Guangxi in 2016 and Guizhou in 2018, we embarked on a journey to the south of Caiyun in early 2019. There are abundant tourism resources in the southwest of my country. There are not only natural scenery such as unique karst landforms, but also multi-ethnic human geography. As for the Yunnan we went to this time, under the current conditions of time, manpower, and financial resources, if we want to have a comprehensive understanding of him, it is limited to understanding. Need to go at least three times, about 7 days each time. On the one hand, there are many tourist resources in Yunnan, and the scenic spots are all over the province. From the clean water of Shangri-La in Diqing in the north, to the border scenery of Mengla in Banna in the south, the rapeseed in Luoping, Qujing in the east, and the beauty of Dehong, Ruili, and emerald greens in the west. On the other hand, due to the geographical features of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the construction of expressways and high-speed railways is in the initial stage. Most of the kilometers are national highways and provincial highways, and most of them are winding mountain roads. The same number of kilometers may need to pay twice or even more time cost for driving here.
The first trip to Yunnan was in May 1997, mainly Kunming and Xishuangbanna.
The second time is this time. But this time I mainly want to see the World Heritage Site - Hani Rice Terraces. February is its irrigation period, when the scenery is the most beautiful and the colors are the most abundant.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year on February 8, we set off for the Capital Airport at 5 o'clock in the morning to start this anticipated trip. Back to Beijing for a total of 8 days until February 15th. Mainly from Kunming to Yuanyang. Arrived in Kunming at noon on the 8th, rented a car for 3 hours to Jianshui, visited Zhu's Garden, just in time for the Lantern Festival, stayed late to watch the Lantern Festival together. Then there is a night tour of Jianshui Ancient City and Chaoyang Tower.
On the 9th, go to build the Water Confucian Temple first, and pay homage to the sage Confucius. The second stop is Jiantao Creative Park, Taotao, is there any suitable Jianshui pottery? Then there is the famous Seventeen-Arch Bridge. Arrive at Xinjie Town, Yuanyang County, Honghe Prefecture at around 4:00 in the afternoon. After a short rest, I went to Bada Terraced Fields to watch the sunset.
On the 10th, the original plan was to get up early and go to Duoyishu to watch the sunrise. But the sunset experience last night made us decide to sleep until we wake up naturally, and no longer challenge the road, people, and scenery! There are almost zero tourists in Duoyishu after 11 o'clock, so you can calm down here and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Hani village not far away adds a lot to this terraced field. It takes more than 1 hour to get to Laohuzui Terraced Fields. According to the pictures on the Internet, this terraced field has the most layers. Unfortunately, it is not open to the public because of the landslide. And along the way, we also saw many terraced fields. After about an hour, we returned to our residence, put down the car and went to Qingkou Village. Just one sentence made me realize that the folk customs are no longer simple. And this is also the most regrettable attraction of my entire trip to Yunnan.
At 7 o'clock on the 11th, we walked the night road. Accompanied by the moon and the stars, we left Yuanyang. The road gradually lit up with the east. That red color made me feel like I missed something? Could it be that there is a morning glow today, this idea was completely given up after passing by Yuanyang County! Missing it may not be a bad thing! I comfort myself. Today, I am going to Mengzi and Bisezhai, then the Stone Forest in Kunming, and finally live in Fuxian Lake in Chengjiang, Yuxi. The itinerary is a bit tight, but fortunately, it is basically high-speed starting from Mengzi. On the way to Mengzi, you have to pass through Gejiu. Gejiu learned geography in elementary school and is known as the capital of tin. I just turned a corner, walked around Gejiu City, and walked through the "Xidu Tunnel" when I left. This tunnel is 3,450 meters long, and the toll is no less than 20 yuan. It really means "mistake tin as precious"! Mengzi City is the seat of the state government of Honghe Prefecture. The city or new city is well-built and beautiful. Because of Monday's reason, the Southwestern Associated University Mengzi Campus Memorial Hall and the former site of Mengzi Customs were not open. After taking pictures at the gate, we went to Bisezhai. You may not know this Bisezhai, but you must know about Feng Xiaogang's movie "Fang Hua". Bisezhai is one of the filming locations.
Stone Forest - World Natural Heritage. Nowadays, many scenic spots do not know whether it is due to the need for scenic spot protection or some other reason, so the gates of scenic spots can be far away from the core scenic spots. It takes a quarter of an hour for a battery car to get to the edge of the core area, and then a quarter of an hour to walk to the scenic spot.
Taking advantage of the night, we arrived at today's destination, Fuxian Lake. It was a perfect day.
On the 12th, I slept until I woke up naturally. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Fuxian Lake comes into view, and the lake and mountains are so beautiful!
On the 13th, I went to visit the Yunnan Ethnic Village first, and then the new museum of Yunnan Provincial Museum. Tour Guandu Ancient Town by car. The hotel where we live is 10 minutes away from the "Golden Horse Square". After dinner, we went to the pedestrian street.
On the 14th, Daguanlou, the former site of the Southwest Associated University, and the former site of the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall. In fact, I originally planned to visit Dongchuan Red Land that day, but my daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law love me so much, so I just gave up. Thinking about the nearly 8-hour drive back and forth, I feel a little bit guilty. However, feeding the seagulls in Daguan Park made the two mothers love and united, and they had a great time playing.
On the 15th, I packed my luggage without rushing or panicking, and had a breakfast that was neither too early nor too late. Drive to the airport, first return the car and then send it to the airport. Reached home safely at 7:30pm. Yunnan Happy Tour ended successfully.
