🌊 Let's start with the conclusion: Fuxian Lake is worth visiting, but avoid these pitfalls! As a Yunnan local, after a 3-day self-driving trip around the lake, I've compiled this "pit-avoidance guide." Honestly, Fuxian Lake's water is so clear you can scoop it up and drink it, but some experiences really made my blood pressure rise... (like the prices at certain Instagram-worthy cafes 💸) 🚗 Trip Preparation: Don't Be a Sucker! 1. Transportation: • Strongly recommend self-driving! 1-hour drive from Kunming, just navigate to "Fuxian Lake," the east/west lake roads offer therapeutic views. • Public transport: Direct buses from Kunming South Station/Changshui Airport to Guanglong Town, tickets 45-70 yuan, but taxis to attractions are super expensive (don't ask how I know 😭). 2. Packing List: • Sun protection trio (sunglasses + hat + sunscreen), flip-flops (for wading), windbreaker (big temperature differences), power bank (photos drain battery fast). • Cycling enthusiasts can bring their gear, or rent mountain bikes at "Bean Sprout Cycling Station" on the south shore - the 50 km lake circuit is amazing! 🏞 5 Must-Visit Spots, Avoid the Crowds! 1. Luchong Scenic Area (4A-rated) • Iconic spot of Fuxian Lake, amazing panoramic view from Bijia Mountain! Go early morning for fewer people and "glass-like" water photos. • ❌ Skip the horse carriages in the scenic area, it's just a 10-minute walk to the lake. 2. Moon Bay Beach • Feels like Sanya 🌴! Coconut trees + white sand beach + swings, perfect for photos. Best after 4pm for gentle sunset views. 3. Gushan Island • Yunnan's largest lake island, 15-minute boat ride. Watch the "Silver Carp Formation" (summer-fall), remember to bring bread for fish feeding 🐟. 4. Mingxing Fish Cave • Local secret spot! Lake water blue as jelly, experience traditional "water-driving fishing." • 🚣 Try sailing, 100 yuan/person, thrilling experience with instructor! 5. Wanzigou S-curve Road • New photo hotspot! Capture the S-curved road along the lake, perfect with sunset views for social media-worthy shots. 🍲 Food Hit and Miss List: These Are Worth It! ✅ Must-Try List: • Copper Pot Fish + Potato Rice: Any lakeside restaurant, fresh fish cooked in Fuxian Lake water - incredibly delicious! Add ham bits to potato rice. • Braised Pork Trotters: Must-try at "Wang's Cold Pork" in Chengjiang, perfectly tender with chili powder. • Pan-fried Lake Anchovy: Local specialty fish, crispy outside, tender inside, great with salt and pepper as snacks. • Lotus Root Starch: Many stands serve fresh ones, jelly-like texture, get the osmanthus flavor! ❌ Avoid These: • Skip that famous coffee shop! 68 yuan for an Americano that's worse than convenience store instant coffee. • Be careful with "Kanglang Fish"! 600 yuan/kg, farm-raised with mediocre taste, not worth the price. ⚠️ Important Tips: Learn from My Mistakes! 1. Environmental Protection: No littering by the lake, 5,000 yuan fine! Saw someone get fined, don't risk it. 2. Sun Protection is Crucial: Highland UV is intense, got "two-toned face" despite SPF50+ 😤. 3. Accommodation Tips: Prices surge during peak season, recommend "Sun Mountain Town" on south shore, Nordic-style lake-view rooms, good value at 200+ yuan per person. 4. Cycling Safety: Some sections of East Lake Road have no bike lanes, beginners be careful! 🌟 Final Thoughts Fuxian Lake's beauty is stunning but needs to be experienced mindfully. Skip the "social media filters," walk slowly along the lake, feel the breeze, watch the clouds - that's the right way to appreciate it. If this guide helps, please leave a like! ❤️

I thought Erhai Lake was beautiful enough, Unexpectedly, I went to Fuxian Lake. I was amazed by this third largest lake in Yunnan. It not only has the tranquility of a small town, but also the romantic atmosphere of a seaside city. It only takes 1 hour’s drive from Kunming🚗. If you are worried about too many people in Erhai Lake, you might as well go to Fuxian Lake for a day or two. 🚗【Itinerary Guide】🚗 ✔️If you have enough time, you can arrange a two-day and one-night trip to Fuxian Lake and travel around the lake clockwise ✔️If time is limited, you can arrange a day to visit several attractions on the West Bank and East Bank One-day itinerary reference: Star Fish Cave ➡️ Luchong Scenic Area ➡️ Red Beach ➡️ Xi’an Club ➡️ Dawan Village S Bay 📷【Play Guide】📷 ✔️Star Fish Cave (P1-4) 🎫15 yuan Yunnan's own Maldives, with clear lakes, good weather, beaches and sailing boats, makes you feel like you are abroad ✔️ Luchong Scenic Area (P5-9) 🎫15 yuan There are many photo opportunities, and the Toadshi Zhuanshui Cave is more famous, but you need to queue up to wait for the camera.

It was cloudy when I went there, and the beach was indeed not pink, but brownish-red, but this did not affect the beautiful scenery of this beach. There are indeed a lot of people, but they are all concentrated in the middle. You can walk to both sides, and there is almost no one there. ✔️ Xi’an Club (P13-16) 🎫Free Located on the mountain with a wide view, perfect for watching the sunset🌄 The white plank road and cafe are very impressive📷 ✔️ Dawan Village S Bay (P17-18) 🎫Free This S-shaped road overlooks Fuxian Lake and there are many coffee shops along the way☕️ 🏨【Accommodation Recommendation】🏨 ✔️If you pursue a good view of the landscape, stay in Xiaowan Village on the east coast to watch the sunset. There are many Internet celebrity B&Bs ✔️If you pursue cost-effectiveness and are convenient for eating and traveling, stay in Bei'an, Guanglong Town or Chengjiang City 🚗【Transportation Guide】🚗 It is recommended to drive by yourself or charter a car. You can stop the car at any time to enjoy the scenery.
