Viewing Dianchi Lake from the Western Hills

#travelinginchina Viewing Dianchi Lake from the Western Hills after the rain, it resembles the sea. 📸 Kunming Western Hills Scenic Area has a great spot for viewing Dianchi Lake, which is relatively close to Maomaojing Village. Currently, it's more convenient to travel by motorcycle. 🏞️ A large picture frame is under construction here, along with improvements to the surrounding roads. It will be very beautiful in the future, 🙂↕️ but it's unclear whether there will be crowd control. 🏍️ Park your motorcycle at the small parking area on the top of Western Hills and climb a few more steps, and you can overlook the entire north shore of Dianchi Lake, which is quite spectacular. 📸 It is recommended to visit when the clouds have layers after rain. ♦️ For self-driving navigation, search for "Xishan District Hani People's Home" (pictured in Figure 14, with a location pin at the bottom of the text). The nearest village is Maomaojing. Then follow the cement road on the left front uphill to the end, and you will see it. It is suggested to ride a motorcycle, as it is more flexible on narrow roads, ⚠️ but be careful while riding! ♦️ Be cautious of the rocky path on the mountain top to avoid spraining your ankle. Due to the lack of tall trees, also pay attention to sun and wind protection. ♦️ Currently, a viewing platform is under construction, and it should be even more beautiful in the future. #familytrip #localguides #localguides #historicallandmarks
