Stone Forest Scenic Area

avatar
Yoshi09
Beautiful natural stone! The place is huge but you can walk by yourselves to see the scenery without a guide unless you wish to know more of the history.

Yun Nan Nation Village

This scenic spot is really incredibly beautiful! Under the blue sky, the emerald green lake sparkles like a gem; the surrounding trees are lush and green, the flowers are blooming, and the air is filled with fragrance. Walking in this picturesque scenery, the mood suddenly becomes happy. It is really a paradise on earth that makes people linger!

Dianchi Lake

Every November to March of the following year, there are a large number of red-billed lizards in Dianchi Lake for winter. Take the cableway, overlooking the panoramic view of Dianchi Lake, and the end of the cableway is the Xishan Scenic Area. It snowed in Kunming on the day I went, and the mountains were full of smoke.

It is cheaper to buy a package on Ctrip than on site. You can use the QR code to use it. Seniors over 70 are free, and those over 60 or 65 are half price. This package is not for those over 70 years old. I went there during the holidays. It was crowded and the experience was not very good. Seeing that there were so many people, I thought that there would be fewer people on the cable car. Climbing the mountain is not tiring at all. I took a rest for a while before taking another step. Later, after going to Longmen, I climbed up again from the same place. It was like climbing twice, and I was exhausted.

Yunnan Wild Animals Park

M76***10
It's pretty good, there are many animals, I highly recommend it. ● Species richness: A rich variety of animals allows visitors to see more different creatures, increasing the fun and knowledge of the tour. For example, zoos with rare animals such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, and Siberian tigers are often more attractive. ● Living environment and welfare: High-quality zoos will provide animals with spacious, comfortable, and natural habitats, simulate their survival scenes in the wild, and pay attention to the physical and mental health of animals. For example, the cage-free open environment of the Singapore Zoo makes animals more comfortable and visitors can also get an immersive experience. ● Health status: The animals are neat in appearance, shiny in hair, free to move, in good spirits, and have no obvious signs of illness or injury, indicating that the zoo has done a good job in animal husbandry and medical care.

Old Street Kunming

Kunming Old Street is a charming and lively area, full of history and culture. It’s the perfect place to explore, and if you’re looking for halal food, you’ll be delighted! There are several restaurants offering a variety of delicious halal dishes, from traditional Chinese to local Yunnan flavors.

The teacher of Mutu explained very comprehensively and interestingly without losing humor. He led us to use more than 2 hours to understand the key exhibits of Yunbo. He used the business card of Yunbo to understand the historical culture and humanistic characteristics of Yunnan. Thank you very much for the company of Mutu teacher.

There were a lot of people when I went to the National Day. We planned to go to the roller coaster. I felt that I had taken a roller coaster and returned to Ben. I also watched a stunt show, water show, and fireworks show. Sitting on the Ferris wheel to watch the evening scene is really beautiful, I love it (⑉ з °)-♡.

Kunming Travel Cableway

avatar
Anonymous User
Advantages: Unique experience: It is the only cableway in China that crosses both water and mountains. It is 2,000 meters long and has a height difference of 300 meters, of which 1,000 meters cross the surface of Dianchi Lake. Visitors can reach Xishan National Forest Park directly from the south gate of Yunnan National Village in 20 minutes, realizing the unique experience of "leaving the national village and stepping on the clouds of Xishan".   - Beautiful scenery: Taking the cableway is like walking into a wonderful viewing corridor, overlooking the vastness of the 500-mile Dianchi Lake, the dense jungles and cliffs of Xishan, and the entire Kunming city after reaching Xishan. The scenery is beautiful. - Advanced facilities: Using the world's advanced cableway equipment produced in France and Italy, the entire line can hang 80 passenger boxes, each passenger box can carry 6 people at a time, and the operation is safe and reliable. - Convenient and labor-saving: For tourists who want to visit Dianchi Lake and Xishan Mountain but don't want to spend a lot of energy climbing mountains or walking around the lake, the Dianchi Lake Cableway provides a fast and convenient way to visit, allowing tourists to easily reach attractions such as the Longmen Grottoes and Sanqing Pavilion complex in Xishan Mountain. - Rich surrounding facilities: There are many attractions such as Yunnan National Village, Haigeng Park, and Xishan National Scenic Area in the surrounding area. You can also taste Yunnan specialties such as cross-bridge rice noodles and flower cakes, and buy special souvenirs such as tea, embroidery, and ethnic costumes. Disadvantages - Crowded tourists: As a popular tourist project in Kunming, there are many tourists during holidays and peak tourist seasons, and the waiting time in line is long, which may affect the experience of playing. - Higher ticket prices: For some tourists, especially those with limited budgets, the ticket price of 60 yuan for a one-way trip and 100 yuan for a round trip may feel high. - Short itinerary: Although the cableway is 2,000 meters in total, some tourists may want to have a longer cableway experience to fully appreciate the scenery along the way. - Affected by weather: In case of severe weather such as strong winds, heavy rains, and heavy fog, the cableway may be suspended, affecting tourists' itineraries.
