Ancient charm of Xishan Longmen

#travelinginchina Ancient charm of Xishan Longmen, a scenic view with every step as you travel through👣 Embark on a spontaneous journey through time, where the Dragon Gate of Western Hills awaits your exploration! 👣 At the pinnacle of Kunming, emerald peaks cluster together, harboring not only millennia of ancient charm but also breathtaking natural scenery that refreshes the soul. 🌄 📍Revealing the Checkpoint: The Dragon Gate of Western Hills, nestled within the Western Hills Forest Park on the western outskirts of Kunming, shines as a brilliant gem by the Dianchi Lake. Ascend the steps, each step resonating with the echoes of history, as if transported back to an era where literati and poets vied to inscribe their verses. 🏮 🌄The scenery along the way is picturesque. First embraced by dense pine forests, you are then greeted with a sudden expanse of the vast, blue waves of Dianchi Lake. Standing atop the Dragon Gate, with the wind whistling past your ears, all worries seem to be swept away in that moment. 🌊 📸Don't forget to bring your camera, as both the ancient cave sculptures and the "Dragon Gate" inscription hanging from the cliff are unparalleled photo spots. Every snapshot can be frozen into an eternal memory. 📷 🍽️On your way down, take a break at a roadside farm stay to savor authentic Yunnan cuisine. A steaming bowl of "crossing-the-bridge" rice noodles or a few dishes of mountain greens can offer your taste buds a delightful journey. #familytrip #localguides #historicallandmarks
