2025 Chuxiong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

I am Brother Yan who lives in Yunnan. In Chuxiong City, an hour's drive from Kunming, I found a niche ancient town that 90% of people don't know about - Yi Ancient Town. What amazed me the most is that although Yi Ancient Town is a Yi ethnic ancient town, it is very similar to Jiangnan Water Town. A clear green river connects the entire ancient town. 🌊 Walking along the river through the ancient town, weeping willows, arch bridges, ancient towers, Yi buildings... It seems to have come to the misty Jiangnan, and every shot is beautiful. 📷 Key point❗️ There are very few tourists in Chuxiong, and the ancient town is very quiet, you can stroll around leisurely for a day. 1️⃣ How to get to Yi Ancient Town Depart from Kunming, Dali or Lijiang, take the high-speed rail to Chuxiong Station🚄 for one hour, and you can reach Yi Ancient Town by taxi or bus, no tickets required. 2️⃣ Travel guide During the day, it is recommended to stroll along the river through the ancient town, navigate to 'Fengxi Bridge', you can take pictures all the way, there are also some Yi ethnic houses and characteristic small shops, very beautiful. You can stay near Yi Ancient Town at night, the night market is very lively, you can take a night cruise. There are often people performing the local left foot dance at the entrance of the ancient town, which is very interesting. 3️⃣ Recommended photo spots 🟡 Fengxi Bridge: It looks very much like Jiangnan ancient building, very suitable for taking ancient style or Yi ethnic portraits 🟡 Craftsman Tea Making: A whole row of buildings are very beautiful 🟡 Haiyuntian: Standing on the bridge, with the ancient building as the background, there is a sense of crossing You can play in Yi Ancient Town for 1 day. If you still have spare time, you can go to the nearby 2km Taiyangli Park to play, a large area of pink Zi Dai grass is super beautiful.

After visiting the Yi October Solar Calendar Cultural Park, it was time for dinner. As we were driving ourselves, we needed to find a place with good parking. That's how we came across Yiren Ancient Town. To be honest, when we first arrived at Yiren Ancient Town, it felt like the many other characteristic towns that have sprung up in China in recent years. The same imitation ancient architecture, the same small bridges and flowing water, the same trendy bars. However, Yiren Ancient Town is different in that it has a strong sense of life. As we recall, the Yi Ancient Town in Mangshi was just as popular as Yiren Ancient Town in Chuxiong, and it was full of life. From their clothes, appearance, and accents, it was clear that many locals came here. This was in stark contrast to the deserted or tourist bus-only new ancient towns elsewhere. Entering the ancient town from the Yiren Ancient Town Archway, there was a long commercial street full of tent shops. It was very lively, and it even felt like the most lively place in Chuxiong City. At 6 or 7 pm, the streets were packed with people, which was truly impressive. There was also a Yi tribe in Yiren Ancient Town. We were not allowed to enter at the gate, and it seemed to be a paid area. However, I saw that it was full of tourist buses, so I guess it was one of those legendary low-price group shopping stores. Of course, we stayed away. We had a Yi meal at Yiren Ancient Town, but it didn't leave a very deep impression. We couldn't find any Sichuan Liangshan barbecue restaurants, so it seems that there is a big difference in food culture between the Yi people of Yunnan and Sichuan. After eating and shopping, our short trip to Chuxiong came to an end. This is an ordinary prefecture-level city in China. There is nothing particularly attractive in the city itself, and Chuxiong's tourist attractions are all in the counties below, such as Yuanmou's ape-man and earth forest, and Lufeng's dinosaurs. However, none of them seem to be particularly famous, so there are basically no tourists who come here specifically. Like us, they can only be a stopover on a self-driving tour. However, we do feel that such a simple non-tourist city is quite pleasant. The prices are low, and it's not noisy. In fact, it's quite good and suitable as a travel destination. Radiating out from here to the surrounding areas might be a more cost-effective option.

This guest house in Chuxiong, Yunnan is amazing. I really love it. 😻 There were so many surprises. The environment was stylish, the owner was passionate, and the rooms were high quality. You should keep up the good work. It's only a matter of time before you become popular! Environment: The courtyard is small, but every corner shows the owner's attention to detail. From the fish pond at the entrance to the clean restaurant, everything is spotless. The rooms are large! The bathroom is equipped with Arrow products, there's a large TV, and the bedding was handpicked by the guest house owner. Each room has a small backyard. There are many good guest houses, but if this one only had a good environment, it wouldn't be that surprising. What's more important is the people. From the owner to the beautiful lady and the auntie, they were all very warm-hearted. They knew we were checking in and went to buy fresh local bayberries. I casually asked if they had buns for breakfast for the kids, and the lady went to the market in the morning to buy buns for the kids. We were about to leave and she was a bit embarrassed to ask if we could leave a good review if we were satisfied with our stay. Even if she didn't ask, we would have left a good review! Okay! This trip to Chuxiong was worth it!

Fortune Tower Park is the first tower in Chinese history to showcase the profound connotations of Chinese fortune culture through various artistic forms. It is also one of the most iconic landscapes in Chuxiong. When you visit Chuxiong, you must go to Fortune Tower Park. As you walk from the foot of the mountain to the top, watching the Fortune Tower getting closer and closer, your soul seems to be purified. Climbing to the top of the mountain and taking a closer look, the architecture of the Fortune Tower is full of ancient charm.

Chuxiong Zixi Mountain Scenic Area is located more than 20 kilometers west of Chuxiong City, about a 40-minute drive. Entering from the south gate and following the winding mountain road upwards, you will soon reach the Xiangshuiqing Waterfall Tourist Area, which has a convenient parking lot. Walking south across the dam of the reservoir and following the stone path downwards, you gradually enter the primeval forest. A trickling stream flows beside the path, and trees, shrubs, vines, and flowers grow freely in their own ways. The humid environment has covered many trees with moss, and some large trees, unable to withstand the passage of time, lie quietly by the stream, waiting to turn into dust. To reach the Xiangguoshu Waterfall, you need to descend a staircase of about 70 degrees for several dozen meters. There are stone tables and benches beside the waterfall for resting. A large Xiangguoshu tree with beautiful flowers stands nearby, with a cluster of yellow stamens in the center and a circle of white petals around it. Some flowers have fallen to the ground but still retain their fragrance and beauty. Due to the small water flow, the waterfall is not particularly impressive, but the deep forest hiking trail leaves a lasting impression. From the parking lot, heading north, there is a single-room archway with the inscription 'Cuiyue Lingfeng' on the front and 'Zixi Fairyland' on the back. This is a hiking route leading to the top of the mountain, towards the Camellia Garden and Ziding Temple. Passing through the archway and a few farmhouse courtyards, you reach the Camellia Garden, where mottled stone railings and a stone tablet attract attention. The tablet informs that the stone railings once surrounded a 660-year-old camellia tree, which unfortunately has perished and been replaced by two young camellia trees. According to locals, a few years ago, artificial intervention with fertilizers to help the old camellia tree grow better ended its life. Looking around the Camellia Garden, the east wind has blossomed many buds, with bright red, tender pink, and snow-white flowers all charming and delightful, becoming the subject of many people's photos. The path through the Camellia Garden enters the primeval forest, winding and gradually ascending. If tired, you can rest at two pavilions along the way. Reaching Ziding Temple requires some effort, but you can also drive around to a parking lot not far from the temple. The mountain gate of Ziding Temple is a three-bay archway with a side door open. A suspension bridge on the left side of the gate also leads to the temple. Inside the courtyard, facing the mountain gate, is a pond for releasing animals, with goldfish swimming among floating leaves. Remarkably, a several-hundred-year-old Yuanjiang Kuo tree stands by the pond, leaning at about 45 degrees, with a hollow trunk and half its bark gone, yet still lush with foliage. A Song Dynasty ginkgo tree, said to have been planted by Gao Liangcheng, a prime minister of the Dali Kingdom, has a trunk diameter of 118 centimeters and is 860 years old. At noon, the temple is quiet, with occasional sightings of monks and volunteers but no other visitors. The temple gate, Guanyin Pavilion, Mahavira Hall, Sutra Library, and stone carvings all look new, with construction materials still piled up in the courtyard. The monks practicing in this deep forest atop the mountain must be undisturbed by worldly concerns. The Zixi Mountain Scenic Area spans more than ten kilometers from the south gate to the north gate, with the north gate being the main entrance. The scenic area has multiple parking lots, several hiking routes, large areas of primeval forest and artificial pine forests, grassland villages, as well as sculptures of the Baotou King and legendary stories, making it an ideal place for leisure, exercise, or seeking tranquility.

Chuxiong's largest ancient town is none other than Yi People's Ancient Town, located in the Chuxiong Economic and Technological Development Zone. Covering an area of 3161 mu with a total construction area of 1 million square meters, it is more of a new city than an ancient town. It is not an exaggeration to call it an ancient town due to the long-standing presence of Yi people, but it is more appropriate to call it a new city because of its combination of ancient and modern architecture, wide roads, newly developed squares, and newly sculpted statues. The Yi People's Ancient Town was developed and operated by a certain group company with an investment of 3.2 billion yuan, integrating commerce, residence, and cultural tourism. The town features bluestone streets, villa shops, small bridges and flowing water, and shaded flowers and plants, creating a pleasant environment. Whether it is called an ancient town or a new city, this place where Yi and Han cultures blend is a great place to leisurely stroll, shop easily, feast heartily, and stay conveniently, making it an ideal spot to pass the time and relax. The Yi People's Ancient Town is most bustling after nightfall, with lights and neon everywhere. The food street stalls are countless, crowded with diners. After drinking and eating, people either stroll on the streets or join the fun at squares like Bimo and Liu Zu. Yi girls and boys in traditional attire dance in the center of the square, with high-powered speakers playing cheerful music. After the performance, the audience is invited to dance together in the square, spinning and swaying, creating a lively atmosphere and uplifting spirits.

Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture is located between Kunming City and Dali Prefecture. Although it does not have the numerous famous scenic spots like Kunming, the Spring City, such as Dianchi Lake, Stone Forest, Western Hills, and Yunnan Ethnic Village, nor does it have the renowned Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake scenery of Dali, it has its unique charm. Chuxiong is the homeland of the Yuanmou Man, the oldest human in the East. It is one of the regions with the most types and quantities of dinosaur fossils unearthed in the world. It is also the place with the most concentrated, rich, and splendid Yi culture in China, and a livable prefecture with beautiful landscapes and a mild climate. Chuxiong Prefecture Museum is located in the southern part of Chuxiong City. It offers free admission and free parking. The museum has seven exhibition halls: the Preface Hall, Paleontology Hall, Historical Relics Hall, Yi Nationality Hall, Chuxiong Prefecture Local Party History Hall, Calligraphy and Painting Hall, and Animal Specimen Hall, with 12 exhibition rooms covering an exhibition area of over 7,000 square meters. The exhibits are abundant, making it an excellent place to learn about the ancient biology, historical evolution, and Yi culture of Chuxiong Prefecture. The displays on the origin of the Yi nationality, the tiger cosmology, the ten-month solar calendar, language and writing, the role of Bimo (Yi priests), and the costumes, dances, and festivals of various branches are detailed and precise. Chuxiong Prefecture Museum can be described as a leader in the industry. This is not because of its grand and magnificent architecture, but because of its distinctive local characteristics and advanced museum-building concepts. The museum is built on a hillside, with terraces constructed by taking advantage of the terrain, and the halls are connected by stepped corridors. The columns and beams of the corridors are decorated with Yi ethnic paintings. From a distance, it looks grand and imposing; up close, it is exquisite and elegant. Compared with museums or certain types of government buildings in other cities that often occupy hundreds of acres of flat land, with pools and squares as embellishments, Chuxiong Prefecture Museum's pragmatic, noble, and sophisticated design is undoubtedly a world apart.

But it's great for taking photos📷~ Rest for half a day🕛, a two-hour drive🚗, coming from Yuanmou County, the national road is winding and bumpy, with only about 30 kilometers of highway🛣. 🚶Bought three bottles of water on the way🥤, and finally reached the destination🎯.

Location: Outside Chuxiong City, Baisha Chong Strawberry Garden, near the scenic Yijiazui Reservoir Park, with its charming and beautiful scenery On a sunny weekend, my friends and I set off on a strawberry picking trip to the Chuxiong countryside with great excitement, looking forward to an intimate encounter with nature and experiencing the unique local customs. As we entered the strawberry garden, it felt like we were in a red ocean, and our mood was exceptionally joyful. A gentle breeze brought the sweet fragrance of strawberries, teasing our taste buds. Under the enthusiastic guidance of the garden owner, we learned how to pick ripe strawberries. Carefully picking one, the plump fruit shone like a ruby, tempting with its lustrous shine. Taking a bite, the sweet juice overflowed in the mouth, intoxicating us as if we were in a strawberry fairyland. During the picking process, we laughed and competed with each other to see who could pick the biggest and reddest strawberries. We also occasionally found some strawberries with unusual shapes, which made us chuckle. Talking with the local farmers, they told us stories of growing strawberries in simple language, giving us a deeper understanding of these small fruits and a profound respect for their hard work. Besides picking strawberries, we also strolled around the surrounding countryside, admiring the simple beauty of ancient houses and having friendly conversations with the honest villagers, feeling their warmth and sincerity. Traditional farming tools displayed traces of history, making us feel as if we had traveled back in time. As evening approached, we left this beautiful place with a heavy heart and a full harvest. This strawberry picking trip to the Chuxiong countryside not only allowed us to taste the fresh and juicy strawberries but also let us experience the joy of picking and the intimate contact with nature. The honest smiles and sincere emotions deeply imprinted in our memories. Back home, we shared these fresh strawberries with family and friends, reminiscing about the wonderful times in the Chuxiong countryside. This picking trip made us cherish nature's gifts even more and filled us with gratitude for this land. We look forward to our next rural trip, continuing to explore the beauty hidden between the mountains and waters, and nourishing our souls in nature.

One of the cradles of mankind, located in the Jinsha River basin, it bears the traces of the Yuanmou Man.
