Chuxiong, a pleasant surprise from a detour

Chuxiong, a pleasant surprise from a detour

Expected to take 4.5 hours from Kunming to Dali, it turned out to be 2 hours of driving with another 4.5 hours to go... So as the traffic around Erhai Lake got worse, I chose Chuxiong on the way 💜 Chuxiong's Yi Ancient Town, Pure blue skies and white clouds need no filter Even the traffic lights are shaped like hearts The simple locals, I can't understand their speech, but they patiently repeat for me, so now I've added +1 to the small languages I know Most of the stall owners are very enthusiastic, inviting tourists to taste the fruits and food, and I usually buy after tasting, so I don't taste what I don't want to buy There are many fruits, some I recognize and many I've never seen before. There's also a lot of barbecue, I randomly chose one, and the meat quality is very good I've been to many cities, many ancient towns I just love this kind of casual feeling May we all on the road See landscapes we've never seen before Taste local specialties we've never tasted ❤️ And finally find the true self ❤️

Yunnan Chuxiong three-day travel lightning guide

Yunnan Chuxiong three-day travel lightning guide

🌸Play Day1️⃣ ⭐️Solar Calendar Culture Park Who on earth said this place is big? 😅 But the sculptures are quite shocking. ⭐️Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture Museum Originally went for the Yi Ethnic Style Museum, but it was under renovation 🙁 However, the other museums are also okay. No cultural and creative shop. ⭐️Yi Ancient Town Don't go during the day, most shops open at night, very lively at night, many snack stalls. The gate ⚠️ There will be jumping after 8 o'clock in the evening, many people will join in the jump, the atmosphere is super good 💃🏻 The prices of food in the ancient town are very normal, the taste is very good, and the portion is sufficient 👍 But the ancient town is much smaller than I imagined, to be honest, there are only a few streets to stroll around. Day2️⃣ ⭐️Zixi Mountain: ticket 20 yuan ⚠️If you really want to go to Zixi Mountain, you need to check which gate has more attractions. Because Zixi Mountain is really too big, we chose a gate with no attractions to enter, and we didn't see anything along the way 😅 ⭐️Futai Park: 2 yuan for climbing the tower The outside of the Futai is beautifully built, and the inside is average. ⭐️He Ruixiang Comprehensive Agricultural Market It's really big, everything is sold. Day3️⃣ ⭐️Dinosaur Valley: Site Park + Time and Space Paradise 160 yuan ➡️Site Park: There are quite a few dinosaur models in the Dinosaur Museum, and there are archaeological sites. The Dinosaur Base Camp is mainly some popular science, and there is a small movie to watch. But apart from this, there are only some paid amusement projects, and the park in the Site Park is not well managed, always giving people a feeling of being abandoned. ➡️Time and Space Paradise: It's an amusement park. I thought it was small, but I didn't expect to play for a whole afternoon (the day I went there seemed to be only twenty or thirty people in the entire amusement park), and I played for a whole afternoon in a completely unobstructed state, so if you want to come, you can come early. 🌸Eat ➡️Eating in the Yi Ancient Town: Dai flavor, salt and pepper cake (actually sweet), crossing the bridge rice noodles, hammer dry bar, three street small treasure lamb soup pot are very good, cheap. ➡️Eating in the agricultural market: rice cake, crispy sesame cake, delicious and cheap. 🌸Stay: Yuepan Hotel I originally thought it was cleaned up, but ⚠️ the bath towel inside has a large yellow stain 😅 I really don't know how to dare to use this kind of thing for customers 😅 The other is that it is not soundproof, but I feel that this is a common problem with homestays in the ancient town. We stayed in a special price double bed room, 98 a night, the cost performance is really good. 🌸Transportation: inconvenient ➡️Although there is a bus to Zixi Mountain, the return bus only has two days a week 😅 (I forgot which two days, the staff of Zixi Mountain said) So you must make an appointment for the round trip! Otherwise, you can't get a car when you come back! ➡️To go to Dinosaur Valley, you need to buy a high-speed train from Chuxiong to Lufeng South, and you need to take a taxi or bus after getting off the high-speed train ⚠️ 🌸In the end To be honest, I feel that Chuxiong's construction of these ethnic cultural attractions is not very sufficient. If you really want to go, two days is enough. The cost of living is low, and it is very cheap to play.

Hidden Gem in Chuxiong | Qiaobian Xiaoyuan (Yiren Ancient Town), a Unique Experience

| Qiaobian Xiaoyuan (Yiren Ancient Town), a Unique Experience Today, I want to share with you a beautiful homestay I found in Chuxiong - Qiaobian Xiaoyuan (Yiren Ancient Town), a hidden gem in the world✨. 🏠 Yi-style architecture, stunning at first sight: Before entering the courtyard, the unique Yi-style architecture catches the eye. The wooden structure of the house is inlaid with colorful carved wooden boards, each pattern telling an ancient story, a treasure of art passed down by the Yi ancestors. The triangular roof is high and soaring, like an eagle spreading its wings, telling the sky of its grandeur, symbolizing the Yi people's longing for a free life. The blue tiles on the roof shine with a rustic luster in the sunlight, and the rainwater drips down, playing a natural melody. 🌊 Poetic riverside, leisurely: Entering the courtyard, the beautiful riverside view is even more intoxicating. A small river meanders, with a small wooden bridge crossing it, connecting the inside and outside of the courtyard. The willows by the river sway gently in the wind, whispering to the flowing water. Sitting quietly at the outdoor table and chairs by the river, holding a cup of tea, watching the sparkling water, occasionally a small fish jumps out, time seems to stand still, leaving only this peaceful world. 🏡 Cozy and elegant room, sweet dreams: Inside the room, tradition and modernity blend perfectly. The wooden furniture exudes a rustic warmth, the bed is as soft as a cloud, and the fatigue disappears instantly. The warm yellow light matches the exquisite Yi handicrafts, such as hand-woven tapestries and pillows embroidered with totems, full of ethnic charm, and the details show the care. 🍜 Yi flavor, a feast for the taste buds: The food is also a must! Authentic Chuxiong flavor, morning lamb rice noodles, delicious lamb with smooth rice noodles, hot soup, full of energy. Yi-style stir-fried dishes at night, fatty but not greasy meat, wild mushroom stew, the ingredients are full of the fragrance of earth and mountains. 📍 Excellent location, worry-free play: Just outside the door is Yiren Ancient Town, very convenient for sightseeing.

Chuxiong Zixi Mountain Scenic Area

Chuxiong Zixi Mountain Scenic Area

Chuxiong Zixi Mountain Scenic Area is located more than 20 kilometers west of Chuxiong City, about a 40-minute drive. Entering from the south gate and following the winding mountain road upwards, you will soon reach the Xiangshuiqing Waterfall Tourist Area, which has a convenient parking lot. Walking south across the dam of the reservoir and following the stone path downwards, you gradually enter the primeval forest. A trickling stream flows beside the path, and trees, shrubs, vines, and flowers grow freely in their own ways. The humid environment has covered many trees with moss, and some large trees, unable to withstand the passage of time, lie quietly by the stream, waiting to turn into dust. To reach the Xiangguoshu Waterfall, you need to descend a staircase of about 70 degrees for several dozen meters. There are stone tables and benches beside the waterfall for resting. A large Xiangguoshu tree with beautiful flowers stands nearby, with a cluster of yellow stamens in the center and a circle of white petals around it. Some flowers have fallen to the ground but still retain their fragrance and beauty. Due to the small water flow, the waterfall is not particularly impressive, but the deep forest hiking trail leaves a lasting impression. From the parking lot, heading north, there is a single-room archway with the inscription 'Cuiyue Lingfeng' on the front and 'Zixi Fairyland' on the back. This is a hiking route leading to the top of the mountain, towards the Camellia Garden and Ziding Temple. Passing through the archway and a few farmhouse courtyards, you reach the Camellia Garden, where mottled stone railings and a stone tablet attract attention. The tablet informs that the stone railings once surrounded a 660-year-old camellia tree, which unfortunately has perished and been replaced by two young camellia trees. According to locals, a few years ago, artificial intervention with fertilizers to help the old camellia tree grow better ended its life. Looking around the Camellia Garden, the east wind has blossomed many buds, with bright red, tender pink, and snow-white flowers all charming and delightful, becoming the subject of many people's photos. The path through the Camellia Garden enters the primeval forest, winding and gradually ascending. If tired, you can rest at two pavilions along the way. Reaching Ziding Temple requires some effort, but you can also drive around to a parking lot not far from the temple. The mountain gate of Ziding Temple is a three-bay archway with a side door open. A suspension bridge on the left side of the gate also leads to the temple. Inside the courtyard, facing the mountain gate, is a pond for releasing animals, with goldfish swimming among floating leaves. Remarkably, a several-hundred-year-old Yuanjiang Kuo tree stands by the pond, leaning at about 45 degrees, with a hollow trunk and half its bark gone, yet still lush with foliage. A Song Dynasty ginkgo tree, said to have been planted by Gao Liangcheng, a prime minister of the Dali Kingdom, has a trunk diameter of 118 centimeters and is 860 years old. At noon, the temple is quiet, with occasional sightings of monks and volunteers but no other visitors. The temple gate, Guanyin Pavilion, Mahavira Hall, Sutra Library, and stone carvings all look new, with construction materials still piled up in the courtyard. The monks practicing in this deep forest atop the mountain must be undisturbed by worldly concerns. The Zixi Mountain Scenic Area spans more than ten kilometers from the south gate to the north gate, with the north gate being the main entrance. The scenic area has multiple parking lots, several hiking routes, large areas of primeval forest and artificial pine forests, grassland villages, as well as sculptures of the Baotou King and legendary stories, making it an ideal place for leisure, exercise, or seeking tranquility.
