I'm announcing it! This is the most New Zealand-like place around Kunming!

My friends, who understands! I've discovered the most New Zealand-like place around Kunming! There aren't many tourists here, so you can take your time and enjoy the scenery, which reminds me of being taken hiking by my parents when I was a kid. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer places that aren't overly commercialized and have beautiful scenery, but you can find a sense of relaxation here. It's a 2.5-hour drive from Kunming. Below is a complete guide to this little "New Zealand" near Kunming! The difficulty here is moderate, and you don't need professional equipment, so ordinary tourists can easily handle it. Moreover, the transportation is very convenient, with asphalt roads all the way to the foot of the mountain, so you can even drive a sedan here. Along the way, you'll see unknown wildflowers, alpine meadows, and canyon scenery, which is super healing. The hiking route is all steps, and if you get tired, you can return the way you came according to your physical strength. There are no forks in the road, so you don't have to worry about getting lost at all. Navigation: Jiejiping, Dongchuan District, Kunming City. Parking: When you're almost at your destination, there's a small house at the bend. Drive 50m further down and park by the side of the road. Parking here is safe and not exposed to the sun, which is very convenient. Tickets: Free! Opening hours: Open all day. The best route to explore is to start at the foot of the mountain and slowly walk up the steps, enjoying the wildflowers, meadows, and canyons along the way, and feeling the beauty of the natural scenery. After reaching the top of the mountain, you can take a break and overlook the surrounding scenery. Here are some of the best photo spots: the entrance to the mountain, with wildflowers all over the mountains as a backdrop, is especially photogenic; halfway up the mountain, there is a protruding rock with the distant canyon as a backdrop, which can be used to take very impressive photos; the top of the mountain has a wide view, with blue skies, white clouds, and alpine meadows, and any photo you take will be a blockbuster. Note: The weather in the mountains is changeable, so remember to bring rain gear and warm clothes; pay attention to safety when hiking and wear comfortable shoes; protect the environment and do not litter. The local specialties are also not to be missed, such as Dongchuan mutton, which is tender and has no gamey taste. Whether it's made into clear soup mutton or braised mutton, it tastes great. There's also Dongchuan noodles, which have a chewy texture and are served with a delicious broth and various toppings, making them unforgettable. Be sure to try them if you have the chance!
