Half mountains, half lake: Unlock the magical experience of Fuxian Lake.

You're probably asking about Fuxian Lake travel tips. Here's a guide for you: Preliminary Preparations • Documents: Bring your ID card and other necessary documents such as student ID, senior citizen card, etc., for discounted tickets. • Clothing: Pack light and breathable clothing. Also, bring a light jacket in case of temperature differences between day and night. • Items: Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, an umbrella or raincoat, a portable charger, etc. Transportation Guide • External Transportation: You can first arrive in Kunming, then take a bus from Kunming South Bus Station to Chengjiang; or take a taxi from Kunming Railway Station to Fuxian Lake. You can also rent a car at the railway station and drive there yourself. • Internal Transportation: You can choose to drive yourself, rent an electric car, take the loop bus, or join a group tour. Driving or renting a car offers more freedom, electric cars are suitable for exploring certain areas, and the loop bus is more economical. Accommodation Recommendations • Guanglong Town: Cost-effective with many accommodation options ranging from CNY 100–300. It offers a variety of food options and convenient transportation. • Xiaowan Village Homestays: Beautiful scenery and a popular area for homestays, but the prices are relatively high, ranging from CNY 300–800 even during the off-season. • Moon Bay: Close to the beach, suitable for families with children. Rooms with a view offer great scenery, but there are fewer dining options nearby. Attractions • Luchong Scenic Area: Located on the west bank of Fuxian Lake, it features the beautiful Fuxian Lake, Bijia Mountain, and Yusun Mountain. Take a stroll along the ancient paths and enjoy the picturesque scenery. • Starfish Cave Scenic Area: Located on the central west bank of Fuxian Lake. Between spring and summer, the mountain air is filled with mist, and banyan trees surround the lake, creating a harmonious blend of lake and mountain scenery. • Fuhai Bay Wetland Park: Located on the north bank of Fuxian Lake. The colorful flower fields complement the blue water and sky, seamlessly connecting with Fuxian Lake, creating a pleasant view. • Moon Bay Wetland Park: Situated right next to Fuxian Lake, the park is shaded by lush trees and filled with blooming flowers. The southern lakeside features a sandy beach with coconut trees, along with various sports and entertainment activities. Food Recommendations • Copper Pot Fish: Fish cooked in a copper pot with seasonings like green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, creating a delicious flavor. • Copper Pot Potato Rice: Cooked in a traditional copper pot, the potato rice is rich and fragrant, served with unique pickles for a special taste. • Braised Pig's Feet: Pig trotters braised until tender, fatty but not greasy, with a smooth texture. Simply sprinkle with chopped cilantro and dried chili flakes.
