Fuxian Lake is the largest deep-water freshwater lake in China, and the water quality is good enough to drink directly. Because the water of the lake is crystal clear and translucent, it was called "thousand hectares of colored glaze" by the ancients. It is said that when the weather is calm, standing on the top of the nearby mountain, you can vaguely see an ancient city under Fuxian Lake. Compared with Lugu Lake in Dianchi Lake, Erhai Lake, Fuxian Lake is much less famous, and it is also the most overlooked scenic spot for tourists in Yunnan. However, after seeing Lugu Lake in Dianchi Lake, Erhai Lake, I feel that Fuxian Lake is the most aura and the most beautiful. Beautiful and most charming. If conditions permit, staying here for a few days will be a very good experience. There are clear lake water, hazy mountain peaks, blue sky, few cruise ships and tourists, very little commercialization, basically retaining an original ecological Fuxian Lake, which is said to be left to them by the people of Yunnan. A treasure land, this is really not bad at all. Playing here in Fuxian Lake is free except for some places such as Luchong Scenic Area and Gudao. Other places are free.
Regarding the underwater ancient city, there are rumors about it, and there are related reports on the Internet:
In 1992, a man named Geng Wei liked diving and planned to spend 2 to 3 years diving in the waters of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan.
On May 2 of the same year, Geng Wei dived to the northeast waters of Fuxian Lake and found that the lake became shallower here. He dived down to a depth of about 9 meters, and saw stone beams covered with scale and moss. He walked down the stone beams and found that the geological conditions here were very strange. The size of the stone is very large, which is different from other places at the bottom of the lake. This leads to the underwater ancient ruins that shocked the whole country.
In June 2006, an underwater archaeological team entered Fuxian Lake. After further exploration, it was found that the ancient city was composed of 8 buildings. These ancient buildings are really unbelievable. The one-story pyramid-shaped buildings are the most eye-catching.
The archaeological team also discovered a huge building with a base width of 63 meters and a height of 21 meters similar to the "Colosseum" in ancient Rome. Among these buildings, there is a 300-meter-long and 7-meter-wide stone road engraved with exquisite patterns. . According to preliminary research by the archaeological team, this is an ancient city 2,000 years ago, and it is likely to be the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom or Yuyuan City recorded in history.
However, according to divers who took a submarine to the bottom of the lake and dived into the water, corpses were found underwater in Fuxian Lake at that time. The male corpse leaned forward, while the female corpse leaned back, and it would swim with the flow of water, like a living person.
At that time, Yuxi City and Chengjiang County jointly launched a large-scale underwater exploration of Fuxian Lake. Xinhua Net Yunnan Channel, Yuxi News Network, Yuxi Daily, etc., and CCTV will conduct a comprehensive online live broadcast of the entire exploration activity, and immediately transmit the process and results of the underwater exploration to the world through the Internet. However, the filming The live broadcast was interrupted after only 40 minutes, and it ended hastily. I obviously feel that after the commercial, I can see the divers entering the underwater ancient city when I come back. Why didn’t it disappear later? Did I suddenly discover something, so I had to cut the following program? Now I can't find the video of that time...
What exactly happened that year and why the live broadcast was interrupted has not been given an explanation so far.
What exactly are the underwater ancient buildings? It has been many years since the media said that there is an ancient city underwater in Fuxian Lake, and the local government organized two underwater explorations. This is still an unsolved mystery.
Who built the ancient city under the Fuxian Lake? And why did it sink to the bottom of the lake? I believe that behind every unsolved mystery, there is a thrilling history. Perhaps the truth can only be revealed to the world when conditions permit. Perhaps, this will become a bigger mystery and remain on the track of history forever. The mysterious veil of Fuxian Lake has not been uncovered. After the exploration of the underwater archaeological team, it has become more mysterious and exudes charming charm.
The official attractions of Fuxian Lake mainly include the following:
1. Cherry Blossom Valley (known as Little Sanya in Yunnan)
Cherry Blossom Valley is located on the east bank of Fuxian Lake, about 10 kilometers away from Chengjiang County. Next to the Cherry Blossom Valley, above the ancient underwater city, it enjoys an exclusive 1.4-kilometer Linhu Bund, the top row of Fuxian Lake, where the water quality is the best.
You can also travel by boat in Sakura Valley, but the price of boat trips here is quite expensive, but the boat is more comfortable, and the most important thing is that the safety measures are very good. Each ship is equipped with a walkie-talkie, so that if there is any unexpected situation, the console can get news immediately for rescue.
3. Luchong Scenic Area
The most famous tourist attraction of Fuxian Lake has been over-commercialized in recent years, and consumption inside must be careful everywhere, and it may be cheated at any time. But the scenery is still very good. If possible, try to just look at the scenery and not spend money inside.
The cost of traveling by boat is high. It is said that the natural village next door is very cheap, as well as food and accommodation. I heard that if you eat in a scenic spot, you may be caught in a terrible trap. Don’t be fooled by anti-wave fish inexplicably. Those things cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, which is too expensive.
Go to see the famous Bijia Mountain, and start the mountaineering journey along a small road. Bijia Mountain is not high, and after a while, I saw four waiting cliffs with the words "Water and Sky Overview". These three words are very appropriate. , because you can immediately see the majestic landscape and the most beautiful Fuxian Lake.
The small pavilion on the top of the mountain can not only see the panorama of Fuxian Lake, but also another scenic spot next to it - Boxi Bay! If you have time, you can also go to Boxi Bay to play. From this small pavilion, you can go straight down without going back the same way!
4. Boxi Bay
Boxiwan Resort is located next to Lvchong Scenic Area by Fuxian Lake in Chengjiang, 60 kilometers away from Kunming. "Boxi Bay" is named because the Bijia Mountain and Mianju Mountain behind it block the southwest wind. In the season when the southwest wind blows more, the lake in the distance is turbulent, but the bay is calm and calm.
5. Shenyu Spring
The small courtyard where Shenyuquan is located is very exquisite, and the Xiaojing Dragon King Temple and the Zodiac Wishing Pool are also built inside. These landscapes are all rebuilt in 2008, all for better protection of Shenyuquan.
6. Boundary fish stone
Jieyu Stone is 18 kilometers away from Jiangchuan County. The stone is located at the interruption of Yudai River linking Xingyun Lake and Fuxian Lake. This stone is the boundary. Whenever fish swim here, they will touch the stone and return. It is a good story that they do not communicate with each other.
7. Star Scenic Area
Star Scenic Spot is located on the west bank of Fuxian Lake, at the junction of Jiangchuan County and Chengjiang County, 12 kilometers away from Luchong. There is Biyun Mountain 100 meters west of Chengjiang-Jiangchuan Highway, and there is Biyun Temple on the mountain. Most of the temples are Taoist antique buildings. Every third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the temple fair day of Biyun Temple. 1.5 kilometers north of Biyun Mountain, there is a star fish cave. From March to September every year, it is the main season for fishing Kanglang fish. You can taste the flavor of fresh fish boiled in Tongluo.

Gushan Island is the only island in Fuxian Lake. It is located in the south of Fuxian Lake in Jiangchuan County. Every sixth day of the sixth lunar month, the locals go to Gushan for a temple fair.
Kunming South Bus Station, take a bus to Chengjiang County, or take a bus to Jiangchuan, there are buses in the city to nearby scenic spots.
Copper pot fish and copper pot rice are a major feature, it would be a pity to miss them.
Fuxian Lake has always left a mysterious impression on the world, and the seven mysteries about it have also been left behind by generations of people around the lake:
Mystery 1: There is a natural human body bank under Fuxian Lake
According to reports, there are a large number of corpses at the bottom of Fuxian Lake, and the underwater corpses are all inclined. The male corpses lean forward, while the female corpses lean back, and they move naturally with the water flow, just like living people.
Mystery 2: There are big fish in the lake
The big fish in Fuxian Lake are not big fish in the general sense. Someone said: Once I took a boat across Fuxian Lake, and when I arrived at Jianshan, there was a strong wind and waves, and I saw something like a boat not far away. Take a closer look. , but it is the back of a big fish.
Mystery Three: Underwater Buildings
There is a popular saying in the local area: In ancient times, the location of Fuxian Lake was a big dam, and inside the dam, there was a bustling city. Since then, the city sank to the bottom of the water.
Mystery 4: Aviation No-Fly Zones
During the Anti-Japanese War, a plane of the Kuomintang was about to land at Chenggong Airport at that time, but did not want to deviate from its course, so it crashed into Tiger Mountain by Fuxian Lake by accident, causing the plane to crash and death. In the 1980s, when a military plane of our army flew over Fuxian Lake, the instrument failed, which eventually caused the plane to lose control and crash into the lake... Similar crashes happened many times. Later, Fuxian Lake was listed as an "aircraft no-fly zone".
Mystery Five: Shocking Halo
On October 24, 1991, which happened to be the "Frost's Descent" day in the twenty-four solar terms, villager Zhang Yuxiang and others took a boat to fish in the lake, but they were surprised to find a glowing disc emerging from the central part of the lake. , quite dazzling.
Mystery Six: Gushan Shark Palace.
According to folklore, there is a Dragon Palace under the lonely mountain, and there are many caves. The fish in Fuxian Lake often go to play, but the caves are too small and they are big. Every time they go in, they can’t get out, and finally stay inside forever. .
Mystery Seven: Jieyu Stone
On the river between Fuxian Lake and Xingyun Lake, there is a "Boundary Fish Stone". The anti-wave fish swimming from Fuxian Lake and the bighead fish swimming from Xingyun Lake swim here and return each time. , Forming the spectacle of "two lakes intersect, fish do not communicate".
These legends themselves have a certain degree of mystery, coupled with artificial processing and tampering in the process of narration, the authenticity is even more doubtful. But some legends have gradually been confirmed, such as the mystery about underwater buildings.
