I heard that many people hate the rainy season
Because it is always cloudy and rainy, the sun is not seen for half a month
However, as Yunnanese, we like this rainy season very much
That's because most Yunnan people know
Sufficient rain and changeable weather are essential conditions for the cultivation of wild bacteria
Wild mushrooms are second only to "Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles" in Yunnan
Yunnan people's love for it can be described as "obsessed"
If you are an out-of-towner, you may not understand the essence of this cuisine
These are not important, the important thing is that as long as you have tasted a wild mushroom
Then, you will love this delicacy as crazy as Yunnan people
It is said that July-August is the best time to eat wild mushrooms
So, taking advantage of the weekend, we planned
A trip of "climbing Lion Mountain, encountering wild mushrooms, and eating wild mushroom hot pot"
As a Yunnan native who lives in Kunming and has a soft spot for wild mushrooms
I have to say that eating wild mushrooms in Kunming is a luxury that only rich people can have.
Because of the high price of wild mushrooms in Kunming
Let ordinary people can only "look at the fungus and sigh"
But as a mushroom eater, I found a good way
This way, you don't have to worry about the price!
The method is: drive to Wuding, Chuxiong, climb the Lion Rock in the morning, visit the wild mushroom market in the afternoon, eat wild mushroom hot pot in the evening, visit the ancient city, and enjoy the holiday!
Climbing Lion Mountain in the morning
Wuding Lion Mountain ticket: 100 yuan / person
Main scenic spots of Lion Mountain: Zhengxu Temple, Peony Garden, Pingding Yuhu Lake, Pine Forest and Grass Sea, Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda, Snake Stone, Jiuqu Yellow River, Feiyun Changhong
Travel route: Kunming——Xiaotun Interchange of the West Second Ring Road——G5 Kunwu Expressway [Fumin, Wuding]——Wuding——Enter the Shishan Tourist Line——Wuding Lion Mountain
Lion Mountain in July has a kind of hazy beauty, filled with mist, like a fairyland on earth. In the continuous rain, all kinds of vegetation in Lion Mountain are growing wildly. Once you enter Lion Mountain and have not yet reached the scenic spot, you will feel the comfortable coolness. When the car is driving on the road, the green moss on the roadside indicates that we are far away from the hustle and bustle. After the noise, I came to a clean place.
Along the steps, we stopped and walked all the way, looking at the plaque of Zhengxu Temple, our trip of "climbing Lion Mountain" officially started. Zhengxu Temple is a Buddhist temple related to the "Legend of Emperor Jianwen". Every brick, tile, scene and object here revolves around "Buddhist culture and the legend of Emperor Jianwen".
The majestic and majestic Daxiong Palace, the towering peacock fir, the simple and unsophisticated "Emperor's Residence", the worshiped "Huidi Temple Pavilion", and the "Lion Mountain Crown" peonies in the peony garden constitute the most exciting part of Zhengxu Temple. part.
Shuttle in the courtyard of Zhengxu Temple, the quietness and tranquility of Zhengxu Temple deeply attracted me, the moss on the bluestone path, the stone tables and benches that can be seen everywhere, the "Great Compassion Mantra" came from nowhere The voice of Zhengxu Zen Temple at this moment, there is no noise at all, choose a stone table to sit down, put down the phone, don't think, don't look, completely empty yourself, just sit quietly like this, sit quietly for an hour, two Hours, when you come back to your senses, you will find that this is the most comfortable way of leisure.
Morning bells and evening drums, chairs watching the setting sun, sitting quietly, meditating, meditating......
Leaving Zhengxu Temple, our position keeps rising, passing through the grassland and forest. After an hour, we finally climbed to the top of the mountain. The endless forest, grassland, fungus on the grassland, and humid air all make us feel comfortable ......There are surprises everywhere in the Lion Rock this season, whether you are wandering or exploring, the Lion Rock this season will not let you down!
The light rain pattered on the surface of the flat-topped Yuhu Lake, and circle after circle of water sprayed in the lake; the water of the Jiuqu Yellow River was still flowing; The crisp and pleasant sound; the naturally formed snake stone is still on the edge of the cliff, making everyone who comes here sigh, the natural creation ability; from the Guanri Pavilion, Wuding County in the distance is hidden in the mist In the middle, it is hazy and mysterious, the city appears when the fog disperses, and the city disappears when the fog rises. In the blink of an eye, the whole picture of Wuding County has left an impression in our hearts.
The fog dissipated, and we went down the mountain along the path. The "Feiyun Changhong" across the mountain, the Guanyin Pavilion close to the cliff, and the mysterious "Whistle Seam Abyss". Stone carvings, before we knew it, we reached the foot of the mountain and the side gate of Zhengxu Temple.
The morning trip to Lion Mountain ended, and we drove towards the county town to visit the long-awaited wild mushroom trading market.
Visit the Wild Mushroom Market in the afternoon
The wild mushroom market in the county is located in the ancient town. When entering the ancient town, there are many Yi-style buildings. However, looking at the wild mushrooms in the hands of passers-by, my eyes moved from the buildings of the ancient town to the wild mushrooms. With the crowds, we came to the wild mushroom trading market.
The wild mushroom market, which is not too big or small, has a very hot business. There is an endless stream of people buying and selling mushrooms. They ask each other about the price and variety of each wild mushroom, and choose what they are satisfied with among the many wild mushrooms. of wild fungi. And I, have been shocked by all kinds of wild mushrooms in front of me, I can't wait to learn about all kinds of wild mushrooms.
Every kind of wild fungus is like a work of art, and I can’t help but want to hold it in my hand to watch, yellow chanterelles, white bamboo fungus, blue blue head fungus, yellow boletus, white matsutake , black Ganoderma lucidum, dried mushrooms like flowers, looking at the dazzling array of wild mushrooms, I can't help but wonder why these wild mushrooms have such a great charm, making people addicted once they taste them?
Dinner with Wild Mushroom Hot Pot
It’s not our style to just watch but not eat, and this time we come here for wild mushrooms, and the price of wild mushrooms in Wuding County is only one-third of the price in Kunming, so how can we miss this opportunity!
After we had been shopping for an hour and had a certain understanding of wild mushrooms, we chose a hot pot restaurant with a lot of wild mushrooms in the family, and it was a real treat!
Entering the store, I have to say that wild mushrooms are really favored by Yunnan people. It is not time for meal, but there is already a long line of people eating wild mushroom hot pot in the wild mushroom hot pot restaurant.
People in Yunnan have a variety of cooking methods for wild mushrooms, such as frying, boiling, and deep-frying. However, in Wuding, Wuding strong chicken stewed with wild mushrooms is the best way to eat wild mushrooms. Do as the Romans do, our group immediately decided to choose wild mushroom hot pot.
After being boiled at a high temperature, the aroma of wild mushrooms permeates the air from the tumbling soup, making people salivate wildly. After 40 minutes of cooking, the hot pot is finally ready to eat.
As soon as the chopsticks go down, the wild mushrooms are already in the mouth. The moment you enter the mouth, the aroma of Wuding Zhuang Chicken Soup and the deliciousness of the wild mushrooms linger on the tip of your tongue. Take a bite, and the chicken soup overflows from the wild mushrooms. The taste is truly unforgettable. At this time, come back to your senses and slowly taste the wild mushrooms, you will find that different mushrooms have different tastes, crisp and slippery, and each kind of mushroom is worth savoring carefully.
Looking at the sunset in the sky, our one-day trip to Wuding is coming to an end. After dinner, we embarked on a journey back to Kunming.
Remember, this is a guide! ! !
If you eat mushrooms on weekends, go to Wuding. It’s not far from Kunming for an hour. It’s delicious and not expensive. It’s 70 yuan per person. I’ve already been there. What are you waiting for!
