📍Yicui Lake Park Kunming City-Wuhua District-No. 67 Cuihu South Road 🌿Because it is so beautiful and comfortable, I am afraid that if you are immersed in it for a while, you will not want to leave and it will affect your subsequent itinerary and arrangements, hahahahahaha 🌧️I didn’t expect to come to Yunnan from Guangdong where it rains every day As a result, we also encountered the rainy season in Yunnan How often does it rain in Kunming a day? Large or small but of short duration ☘️After the rain, the air is very fresh the weather is cool Wear a light jacket when the sun is not shining Just wear short sleeves when the sun is shining It won't be hot either The weather is so comfortable I finally understand why it is Green Lake Park! 🌸Because everywhere is really green! So beautiful My wife loves this green color so much! 😍When traveling to Kunming, you must take a stroll in Cuihu Park! It’s free, and it looks great when you take photos! It’s great for making great photos! 🏨Transit – Petal Seaview Hotel (Kunming South High-speed Railway Station Qicai Yunnan First City Store) The high-speed train chose Kunming South Station for transfer. The hotel I chose was the newly opened Petal Hotel. The location is very good. It is convenient for eating and drinking. The subway station is just downstairs, making it convenient to go to the city.

📍Gudui Mountain: It takes about two hours to get there by car🚘, and about 8km of hiking for the day, with one-third of the route along the ridge🛣️, and the rest through the woods🌲. There are clear trail tracks and signs🚧 throughout, taking 3-7 hours, and then driving back to Kunming in the afternoon. 【Trail Difficulty】The altitude is 2648m, and the climate⛅️ environment is not much different from Kunming. Climbers must follow the leader's arrangements and prioritize safety. If you are not confident in your physical condition, you should inform the leader immediately and not overexert yourself (if you have experienced oxygen deficiency before, you can bring your own oxygen bottle). 【Suggested Personal Equipment】Backpack🎒, hiking shoes👟, sun protection clothing🙅, hat🧢, trekking poles🧑‍🦯, sunglasses👓, and if you have special circumstances, please prepare the necessary items. 【Dining Method】There are no supply points along the hiking route, so you need to bring your own drinking water (2L) and a meal for the road (sandwich🥪, chocolate🍫, dried fruit, beef jerky, raisins🍇, electrolyte water can be prepared) Hiking with this group of buddies is really too much fun!

📈The 7 hours disconnected from the world, I had a blast at the altitude of 4365⛳️ meters in Abujicao 🪁! 📈Abujicao is located in Shangri-La, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Now there is a high-speed train🚄, but we took a road trip. It takes about 5-6 hours from Chuxiong. If you are driving, you can prepare some snacks🍢 and water🫙 along the way. The food in the service area is not very good and is much more expensive than outside. I think fruits🍇 are a must-bring. We set off at night both times, and the next day we could rest for a few hours before heading straight to the scenic spots🛝. 📈Our trip was mainly for hiking🧗‍♀️, so we just briefly visited many of the attractions in Shangri-La. We found a guide in advance, went straight to her when we got there, arranged accommodation🏚️, and then went sightseeing on our own. We didn't have high expectations for the guide, but it was a pleasant surprise. The guide was enthusiastic and generous, and her family was very welcoming, giving us a taste of different ethnic features🏺 (contact information can be provided upon request). 📈In Shangri-La, we visited the Dukezong Ancient Town⚱️, Pana Sea🖼️, and horse riding at Pana Sea🐴. Due to time constraints, we only visited these two places. Pana Sea is highly recommended for its beauty, and horse riding is a must-try experience. You can ride on your own (sign a waiver), and the rest is led by the local elders. 📈The highlight is Abujicao～We set off directly from the guide's house the next day, which was very close. We drove to the foot of the mountain⛰️. The whole journey of Abujicao is 28 kilometers, which is quite physically demanding. You don't need to prepare much food, just bring some basic water🫙, chocolate🍫, dried fruits🥜, and cookies🍪. You can check the weather🗺️ in advance. The guide also thoughtfully prepared raincoats for us. It's recommended to bring an oxygen can🫗, though people from Yunnan usually don't need it, haha～Just prepare a three-in-one jacket🤽‍♀️. My friend and I both wore (Pathfinder) three-in-one jackets. It's also recommended to buy waterproof pants👖 and shoes👟. Everyone should proceed according to their own physical condition. The most impressive thing is the local off-road motorcycles🏍️. If you can't make it halfway, you can choose to pay for a motorcycle ride up, which costs about 150-250, and you can ride it both up and down the mountain. 📈The most amazing part of this hiking trip was the scenery along the way🏜️, which was really beautiful. Also, what everyone wants to know, the guide fee is about 200 yuan per person. Meeting a good guide is the most important and joyful part of the entire journey🗼. Once again, our guide was really good at taking photos📸. 📈That's our overall experience at Abujicao. I've seen another page of this world. I don't know when I fell in love with hiking🧗‍♂️, getting in touch with nature🛣️, but it's indeed healing me. Everyone, rush to Abujicao, a relatively easy snow mountain🏔️ to conquer. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
