Yuanmou | Discover a Hidden Travel Gem

Yuanmou | Discover a Hidden Travel Gem

| Discover a hidden travel gem. An off-the-beaten-track yet super fun place — Yuanmou! This time, I checked in to the Yuanda International Hot Spring Resort, and the experience was simply amazing! Departing from the hotel, I headed straight to the Earth Forest in the morning. The bizarrely shaped earth pillars, bathed in sunlight, seemed to be imbued with life, each exuding a unique charm, as if I were in a mysterious alien world. After a tiring day of exploring, I returned to the hotel in the afternoon to soak in the hot springs. There were various themed pools, and soaking in the steaming hot spring water washed away all the fatigue of the day, leaving me feeling incredibly happy! Travel tips: 1. For photos at the Earth Forest, it's recommended to wear solid-colored clothing to enhance the visual appeal. 2. While hot springs are great, remember to limit your soaking time to avoid dizziness. 3. The local climate is dry, so remember to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

Yuanmou, Leiding Village, ancient trees of a thousand years, where time flows gently and life drifts leisurely

Yuanmou, Leiding Village, ancient trees of a thousand years, where time flows gently and life drifts leisurely

Leiding Village, ancient trees of a thousand years, where time flows gently and life drifts leisurely. Over six hundred tamarind trees, each with a history of hundreds of years, and the 'Tree King' is as old as 1600 years, with a stone stele donated by Mao Duo Li nearby. A quiet little village, currently free from commercialization. Children playing, elders enjoying the cool shade, dogs taking a stroll, sunlight piercing through the foliage, it feels like returning to the best summer of childhood. Hardly any tourists, an excellent spot for portrait photography, just regret not bringing a DSLR this time. It's a forty-minute drive from Yuanmou, with comfortable scenery along the way, passing by Pingtian Earth Forest, a free open scenic area, suitable for friends who find themselves bored in Yuanmou.

【Yunnan·Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area】Tour, second bomb 📍 Location: Yunnan Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area Recently, I visited the Yunnan Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area, which is an amazing place. Now I want to share with you my travel experience and what I have seen and heard. 💫 Day 1: On the first day, as soon as I stepped into the Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area, I was shocked by the surrounding mountains and forests. The air here is fresh and pleasant, full of the breath of nature. I stayed in a wooden house, where I could enjoy the mountain view and the earth forest from the balcony. 🌳 Day 2: On the second day, I participated in a hiking adventure through the earth forest. The earth forest was formed by the weathering and erosion of mud and sand millions of years ago. They have different shapes, some like giants, some like animals, and some like castles. I explored the earth forest landscape along the designated trail and was very shocked. 🌞 Day 3: On the last day, I took a hot air balloon to overlook the entire scenic area. After ascending, I saw an amazing picture. The endless earth forest extends like waves, surrounded by lush mountains and flowing rivers. Overlooking the magnificent scenery from the air, I felt peace and freedom. ✨ Yunnan Yuanmou Wumaotulin Scenic Area is an unforgettable place. Here I explored the strange beauty of the earth forest, and appreciated the grandeur and mystery of nature. If you are interested in the miracles of nature, why not take a trip to Yuanmou, I believe you will not be disappointed.

Dianzang Line 70

Dianzang Line 70

Dianzang Line 70 2023.09.24 Dianzang Line arrived at the second stop of the day at 10:00: Jinsha River Bay. This is an important scenic spot on the way from Meili Snow Mountain to Shangri-La, 'The First Bend of the Jinsha River', also known as Moon Bay, Jinsha River Bay, Jinsha River Big Bend, etc. Jinsha River Bay is located in Zigeng Township, Derong County, Sichuan, at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet. Here there are high mountains and deep valleys, layers of mountains, and cliffs. The mighty Jinsha River, coming from the hinterland of Tibet, seems to want to ease the fatigue of long-distance running when it is about to break through this Yunnan-Sichuan fortress, so it slows down and draws an 'Ω' arc around the pyramid-like Rizhui Peak. Unexpectedly, this impromptu work has created a geographical wonder in the world - the First Bend of the Jinsha River. Jinsha River

Eternal Marvel: Yuanmou Earth Forest 🌳🌲

Eternal Marvel: Yuanmou Earth Forest 🌳🌲

#Urban Cultural Notes #Hidden Gems Society #Worth Visiting Ancient Towns and Villages #Capturing Urban Culture #Domestic Romantic Travel Destinations 🌟The Eternal Wonder: Yuanmou Earth Forest🌟 The Earth Forest is a natural wonder of the world, consisting of groups of columnar landforms shaped by earth-like deposits, named for their resemblance to a forest from afar. After millions of years of crustal movement, it has formed various peculiar shapes. China's most famous Earth Forest is located in Yuanmou County, Yunnan Province, with Wuma Earth Forest being the best among them. To visit Wuma Earth Forest, one usually takes a sightseeing car directly to the top of the mountain, overlooking the panoramic view, starting from the first scene "Piercing the Sky" and descending step by step. The first impression of Yuanmou Earth Forest is its primitive desolation and rugged grandeur. The layers of soil are not all a single yellow color; they change to red, purple, white, and gray depending on the light. Due to the dense distribution of minerals such as mica and quartz on the earth pillars, they can also reflect brilliant light under the sun, making them even more peculiar. The Earth Forest can be seen as a mountain formed by earth pillars, and various shapes of earth pillars are mixed and distributed, forming a rich and colorful, ever-changing posture. The most beautiful is the "Earth Bud" type, which is formed by surface runoff and rainwater eroding along fissures and soft rock layers, creating smaller earth buds with relatively small height and diameter. This is the prototype of other types of earth forests. The most spectacular is the "Ancient Castle" type, formed by layer erosion and exfoliation, creating shapes such as arch caves, flat caves, and vertical shafts. This type of earth pillar generally has a connected base, a large and round top, or a serrated shape, covering a large area. The most attractive is the "Sharp Bamboo Shoot" type, formed by the erosion and cutting of rainwater and surface water flow, creating conical earth pillars. This type of earth forest has a sharp top, resembling a huge bamboo shoot after the rain or the spire of a pagoda.

If you want a unique trip, come to Yuanmou Earth Forest.

🚗 Yuanmou Earth Forest in Yunnan is a mysterious place that looks like an alien planet! It hides two spectacular earth forests: Wumao Earth Forest and Langbapu Earth Forest. We chose the more developed Wumao Earth Forest to explore its charm with you. 📍 How to get there? Self-driving is the most convenient option, taking only 2.5 hours from Kunming. If you choose public transportation, you can take a high-speed train to Yuanmou County and then transfer to a bus to the earth forest. However, please note that there are few buses, so remember to check the schedule in advance! 🎫 In the scenic area, it is recommended to take the scenic area bus directly to the mountain top viewing platform, so you can better enjoy the panoramic view. A simple tour of the earth forest takes 2 hours, but if you want to explore more deeply, it may take half a day. There is also a hotel in the scenic area - Earth Forest Hotel. Although the facilities are a bit old, the advantage is that you can enter and exit the scenic area unlimited times with your room card after buying a ticket, which is very suitable for tourists who want to play for a long time or watch the sunrise and sunset. ☀️ The temperature difference between morning and evening in Yuanmou County is large, so remember to bring a jacket and short sleeves to cope with different temperatures. Also, since the ultraviolet rays in the earth forest are strong, be sure to take sun protection measures. Wearing white or bright-colored clothes will make your photos look better. It is recommended to visit from November to March of the following year, when the weather is moderate and there is less rain, making it the best time to visit. 🌈 Come to Yuanmou Earth Forest and start your exotic adventure!

Many people may not know much about the Yuanmou Earth Forest. Geologically speaking: Earth forests generally appear in basins or valleys, with the Yuanmou Earth Forest being the most typical, reflecting the changes in ancient geography and the process of geomorphological development. The Yuanmou Earth Forest is a wonderful natural wonder in China and even the world. After millions of years of crustal movement, the god of wind and rain has carved the land of Yuanmou into various strange shapes. Many photographers use this place as their creative base, and it also attracts many geologists and famous directors to visit and take pictures. Zhang Yimou filmed 'Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles' here, and later Chen Kaige also filmed 'The Promise' here. Therefore, the Yuanmou Earth Forest has become a popular tourist spot.
