Huize Ancient City - The World of Mortals.
📍Huize Ancient City
🚗 2 hours and 30 minutes from Kunming
The ancient city is not big, it is just an old city block in the county seat
But every bluestone road on the way can make people feel its historical atmosphere
The ancient city is not commercialized, and the price of various special snacks will not increase because of tourists💯
✨About playing
1️⃣ Tang Jiyao's Former Residence
It is a small, enclosed courtyard complex, a typical mid-to-late Qing Dynasty residential building in Huize. The courtyard of the former residence is well preserved.
Tang Jiyao's former residence displays materials about Tang Jiyao's life, photos, and books.
Here, you can marvel at his legendary life and explore his footprints in Huize, which is worth a visit.
2️⃣ Jiangxi Guild Hall
Also known as Wanshou Palace, commonly known as Jiangxi Temple.
The entire building is carved with wood, stone, and brick, with plaques, couplets, paintings, and murals, which can be called "a must-see in Yunnan ancient architecture".
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were as many as 108 guild halls, temples, and ancestral halls in Huize Ancient City.
The eight best-preserved are Jiangxi Guild Hall, Yunnan Guild Hall, Jiangnan Guild Hall, Sichuan Guild Hall, Shaanxi Guild Hall, Guizhou Guild Hall, Huguang Guild Hall, and Fujian Guild Hall.
3️⃣ Huize Park is next to the ancient city
The iconic big copper coin of Huize is there. You can drill the coin hole there. There are also musical fountains at night (because we were in a hurry this time, we didn't go at night).
4️⃣ There are also scenic spots around Huize
Dahaicao Mountain, Nagu Ancient Town Baiwu Village, Nianhu, and Yulu Dashifeng are all worth visiting.
🍽️About eating
1️⃣ Eight Bowls of Mutton
The mutton is delicious and not at all mutton.
It is best to make an appointment in advance, otherwise you will have to wait a long time.

Don't miss it if you love fried Yangyu, there are many for 10 yuan.
There are also bags of potato chips at the door, 10 yuan for a large bag.

A century-old shop, famous for its rare bean flour, and the soy milk is also good, and there are a lot of people.
4️⃣ Xiao Li Barbecue (or Lao Ding Barbecue)
The taste is really good, it's a pity that we have few people and don't order much. When we come back, we still miss the taste of that barbecue.
Li Baiyang Casserole (or Zuying Breakfast Shop)
The casserole rice noodles are really delicious.
🏠 Accommodation is recommended to choose a guesthouse in the ancient city, the ones on the sign in Figure 3 are very good (we decided to go temporarily, and these guesthouses were all booked). In addition to these guesthouses, there are many hotels on both sides of the main street. Yunhai and Jinyulongyuan are recommended, which are more cost-effective.

Baifu Village in Huize
20 kilometers away from the county town of Huize, there is a historical and cultural ancient village called Baifu Village (named after the frequent fog due to its location surrounded by mountains). Baifu Village was a military and commercial post station during the Western Han Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty, nearby copper mines began to be developed, and Beifu Village became a major station for transporting copper from the south to the north and the main supply area for copper materials, earning the title of 'the first station of the thousand-mile capital transport.' The ancient buildings in Beifu Village, such as the opera stage and Shoufu Temple, are well preserved in their original state and are not commercialized.

Huize Dahuicao Mountain
Located in the main peak area of Wumeng Mountain, 40 kilometers from Huize County, there is a place called Dahuizi, with an altitude of over 3000 meters. It is an alpine meadow and has been recommended by the magazine 'National Human Geography' as one of the 108 most beautiful landmarks in the country. This is also the source of the Jinsha River. The natural scenery of Dahuicao Mountain is beautiful, especially in spring. It takes 3 hours to tour around. There is no public transportation from Huize County to the grassland, so you need to hire a car to get there.

The Great Seaweed Mountain丨When the wind blows, every corner looks like a painting
I just finished an unforgettable journey and came to the Great Seaweed Mountain in Huize. The scenery here is so beautiful that it takes your breath away. Despite the cold weather, the fresh air and vast grasslands make you feel like you are in a dreamlike world.
Here, every step feels like stepping into a moving painting. The wind blows through the grass, and cattle and sheep leisurely stroll around. Such scenes are like pastoral poems written by poets.
🏠 As for accommodation, I chose the Huize Jubao Hotel. The price is affordable, and the stay is very comfortable, truly value for money.
👙 Regarding clothing, even in summer, the temperature on the mountain is very low, with strong winds, around 15 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to wear a white dress, which looks great in photos, and a windbreaker on top to keep warm and stylish. If you didn't bring a windbreaker, the visitor center rents them for 30 yuan each, which is very cost-effective.
👒 Sun protection is also important. Remember to bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a sun protection mask to protect yourself and fully enjoy the beauty of nature.
🍲 Of course, food is also an indispensable part of travel. The grilled lamb skewers (3 yuan each) and grilled lamb ribs (25 yuan each) here are very delicious, with no gamey taste at all. There's also grilled oat cakes (2 yuan each) and roasted potatoes, each one leaving you with endless aftertaste. In the evening, you might want to go to Huize County to taste the local specialties, such as lamb soup pot or barbecue. Highly recommended are two restaurants: Huize Huohong Original Lamb Restaurant and Xiaohu Barbecue, guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds!
This trip to the Great Seaweed Mountain in Huize not only allowed me to appreciate the magnificence of nature but also to taste authentic local food, making it a perfect travel experience. If you also long for such a trip, don't hesitate, come to the Great Seaweed Mountain in Huize and feel this unique beauty!

The highland meadows here stretch endlessly, with herds of cattle, sheep, and horses, as well as breathtaking sunsets that set the sky ablaze. Inside the Mongolian yurts of Dahaicao Mountain, many local villagers run various snack stalls, offering fresh lamb skewers, lamb chops, as well as potatoes and corn roasted with cow dung as fuel, and a variety of special grain cakes and pancakes.
① Lamb skewers are 3 yuan each, and the aroma from the charcoal grilling combined with the unique chili makes the skewers very tender and juicy, without any mutton smell.
1. Lamb chops are 25 yuan each, taking a bit longer to grill, the meat is firm but not dry, and eating the chops with your hands is a truly hearty experience.
2. Potatoes, roasted with cow dung as fuel, is a first for me, but they turn out to be very delicious, without the need for any seasoning, the natural flavor of the potatoes is also impressive.
④ Various kinds of grain cakes and pancakes, it all depends on personal preference. We bought two kinds of pancakes, and the elderly village lady helped to warm them up, wrapping the lamb skewers in the pancakes, simply satisfying!
PS:
✅ Staying near Huize Ancient Town, it takes about an hour to drive to Dahaicao Mountain, with many winding roads, so pay attention to driving safety.

✅ There are very few toilets at the scenic spot, it is recommended to take care of your needs at the parking lot before heading to the various attractions.
✅ Huize Ancient Town
The entire Huize Ancient Town is not big, not overly commercialized, and the architecture has retained its original appearance. In the morning, go to the ancient town for a bowl of local special thin bean powder with fried dough sticks, savory and warming to the stomach. Various small shops in the ancient town open one after another, and the elderly in the roadside teahouses are lively discussing daily life, lazy cats bask in the sun on the steps, and strolling leisurely on the old stone roads, you can feel the historical traces of Huize Ancient Town.

Chasing the Wind and Freedom: The Magnificent Tapestry of Hui Ze County's Da Haicao Mountain
Stepping onto the Da Haicao Mountain in Hui Ze County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province, is like being in the midst of a grand tapestry. The mountains there wind like a giant dragon, and the grasslands are as vast as undulating waves, everything appears so vivid and poetic.
Chasing the wind and clouds, it feels like dancing with the heavens and earth, and the soul is released in an unprecedented way. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking out at the endless distance, it seems that the whole world can be captured in a glance.
Although life can sometimes seem incredibly dull, as long as we bravely pursue, run, and embrace nature, the wind will come along, taking away all troubles and bringing endless freshness and freedom.
Here, we can not only appreciate the magnificent scenery of nature but also feel the power and passion of life in the running. Let the wind of Da Haicao Mountain be the driving force of our progress, and the infinite distance be the longing in our hearts.
🚗: It is more than 200 kilometers from Kunming to Hui Ze County by self-driving, which takes about two and a half hours to arrive, and it takes about an hour to get to Da Haicao Mountain from the county town, which is more than 30 kilometers away.
During the summer rainy season, although the water quality of the meadow plateau lakes is slightly turbid, nature is always full of surprises. The first stop of the bus tour is beautiful, but the second stop at the ranch stream is even more picturesque, as if it takes you through to the distant grasslands of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, with their vastness and tranquility intoxicating.
The homestays in the scenic area only cost 260💰 per night, providing you with a warm place to stay. When the 6 p.m. sunshine falls, you can first taste delicious lamb skewers in a Mongolian yurt, then leisurely head to the homestay to rest. However, don't forget to bring your own dry food or breakfast, as during the summer off-season for accommodation, homestays do not include meals.
In this changeable rainy season weather, sometimes there is a drizzle☔️, sometimes the sun is shining brightly☀️, so please be sure to bring a thick coat🧥 to cope with the unexpected.
For me, who has set foot on Da Haicao Mountain three times, each season presents a different landscape tapestry. For more information about the homestays, you can refer to my previous winter notes on Da Haicao Mountain📒, which record my personal experiences and feelings.
On this magical land, may your journey be filled with laughter and leave unforgettable memories.

2. Luoping Rapeseed Flower Scenic Area
Luoping County is located in the eastern part of Qujing City. Unlike the rugged terrain of other areas, Luoping has a bit of the charm of a water town. As a traditional agricultural county, the rapeseed flowers that have been planted here for generations attract a large number of domestic and international travel photography enthusiasts. During the flowering season, Luoping County is submerged in a sea of rapeseed flowers, with 800,000 mu of rapeseed flowers blooming competitively, which is quite spectacular.
3. Dahaicao Mountain
Dahaicao Mountain has a gentle terrain, vast and boundless. Each season has its own beauty: in spring, the mountain flowers are blooming and fragrant; in summer, the green grass is lush, with herds of cattle and sheep; in autumn, the clouds are light and the sky is high, with green grass and clear water; in winter, the mountains are dressed in silver, with everything silver-carved and jade-built, integrating peaks, grass, water, light, flowers, clouds, snow, caves, and sentiments into a unique landscape, known as the 'New Zealand of Yunnan'.

Qujing Roaming
The rice fields and ancient opera stage of Baiwu Village are really underrated😜!
In Huize, Qujing, Yunnan🤩, there is a lesser-known travel destination, only 25 kilometers away from Huize Ancient Town🚗, and it takes just one hour to drive there🤗! The summer and autumn seasons in Baiwu Village are very beautiful🤩, and you don't have to go to Dali to smell the fragrance of rice🌾🌾~ This place is truly a land of outstanding people and splendid culture, where the prosperity of ancient times can still be vaguely seen👀.
The buildings in Baiwu Village are mainly arranged vertically or parallel to the streets🎪. The ancient Baiwu opera stage is located at the center of the traditional village🤴, which is the heart of the village🎭. Baiwu Village was a military and commercial post station during the Western Han Dynasty🛣, and with the development of the Tong mine in Dongchuan Prefecture during the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the village's economy flourished and its culture thrived🎉, making it a major commercial town in the western part of Huize🎯, and a major station for the transportation of copper from the south to the north and the main supply site for copper materials for coinage during the Ming and Qing dynasties🧐, earning it the reputation of 'the first station of the thousand-mile capital transport'👍.
After roaming the Dali-style rice fields🏞, you can also visit the old street to see the ancient temples🛕 and opera stage🎶, and by the way, have a bowl of pea powder and Zhua Zhua powder at an old brand restaurant🥣, which in Qujing dialect is said to be 'pea powder is very hard zou'😝. Time moves slowly here🕰, and it's not very commercialized. This is the real Yunnan rhythm🎵!

The vast sea of grass and mountains beckons, and for each visitor, a persuasion to stay!
Although life can be dull😔, running brings a breeze🌬. Head to the great sea of grass and mountains, to gaze upon the grand mountains🏞 and grasslands, to chase the wind and clouds☁, to fill your eyes👀 with endless horizons...
Day 1⃣ 'Departure'🚞:
Lunch in Qujing🥣: Depart from Chongqing West Station at 9:30⏱, arrive at Qujing North Station🚉 around 14:00, navigate📍 to 'Da Fu Gui (not the Industrial and Commercial City store)', order a bowl of steamed rice noodles, then head to the opposite 'Zheng Ji Liangfen Shop' for a mixed cold noodle dish🍲.
Travel to Huize🚌: Leave from Qujing Bus Station at 16:00. Arrive in Huize🌆 around 19:00, check into an inn near the ancient city🏠, store your luggage🎒, and head out for food🍽. Stroll through Huize Ancient City🏰 in the glow of the sunset💗.
Day 2⃣ 'Sightseeing'🎒:
Depart for the grass mountains⛰: Walk to 'Yang He Yuan' bakery🍞 at 9:30 (navigate to the Mixue Bingcheng Dongzhi Street store, it's at the nearby crossroads), enjoy the fragrant fried dough sticks🥖, rich soy milk🥛, and tasty thin bean flour. Leave Huize for the great sea of grass and mountains at 10:00, arrive at the Visitor Center🏢 at 11:00.
Explore the grass mountains🏞: Take the sightseeing bus🚎 from the Visitor Center to two viewing spots, the first is the popular hillside🌄. The second spot is less impressive, still under development as a tourist photo spot📸. Enjoy a lunch of beef and mutton🥩, roasted sweet potatoes🍠, and bamboo tube rice, savoring the charcoal-grilled flavors and meaty aromas, and spend the afternoon in the biting mountain wind🌬 and taking in the beautiful scenery🍃.
Return to Huize🏠: Take the sightseeing bus back to the Visitor Center at 17:00, head back🏞 at 17:30. Arrive in Huize at 18:30, end the day with a 'Sheep Eight Bowls' dinner🍽.
Day 3⃣ 'Return'🚍:
Board the bus at Huize Bus Station at 11:00, arrive in Qujing at 14:00, head to 'Douhua Chicken Wild Mushroom Hotpot🥘 (Happiness Community Store)' to experience the mushroom hotpot, and during the 20 minutes⏳ it takes for the mushrooms to cook, dash to the nearby 'omg' coffee shop☕ 200 meters away for a latte, then head home🏠, content and fulfilled🥰.
🎈Suggestions:
1⃣ Don't leave Huize for the mountain too early, as the morning fog is heavy🌫, and it's hard to wake up early😵💫.
2⃣ No need to bring snacks🍬 to the mountain, just prepare some favorite drinks🍹.
3⃣ Bring plenty of warm clothing🧥, whether you think you'll need it or not. Weather forecasts📈 are unreliable, and calculating temperature based on altitude doesn't work either.
4⃣ If you want to enjoy more of the mountain scenery🏕, consider walking instead of taking the sightseeing bus🚶♀. If you get tired, you can hail any passing sightseeing bus with a wave👋.
5⃣ It's recommended to get off at the first viewing point, as it's more convenient for sightseeing, eating, and taking photos. Once you've had your fill, you can walk or take the bus to the second viewing point.
TranquilEscapes
A paradise not far from Kunming
Consider visiting Huize County in Yunnan during holidays when it's too crowded.
Reasons for recommendation:
🚗 It's a little over two hours' drive from Kunming, unfortunately, there is no high-speed train.
🏩 Hotel prices only rise from the original 270 to 350 during holidays.
🏯 Huize Ancient Town is much larger than expected, great for exploring, and there are many old buildings worth visiting in Huize County.
🥩 Huize is famous for its black goat meat, which is exactly why I came. In the city, someone recommended 'Yang Ba Wan'. I went to the Fatty Goat Restaurant, a down-to-earth place where I had a very satisfying meal. The local potatoes are also famous. Not far from the entrance of the Dashai Grass Mountain scenic area, there are some grilled mutton stalls with good quality meat; if you prefer a lighter taste, ask them to use less seasoning. There are also many mutton stalls inside the scenic area, but they might serve sheep instead. The black goat with skin I had outside the scenic area was pretty good.
⛰️ Nearby Dashai Grass Mountain, the ticket is 35, and the shuttle bus is 20, although there are only two stops inside, the high mountain meadows make you feel as if you've arrived at the Ili grasslands. The key is that you can see it all for only 55 yuan, which is a bargain. The altitude is 3650, so be aware of altitude sickness.
⛩️ Baiwu Village is a quiet and peaceful little village, and I was lucky enough to catch the sunset clouds. I really wanted to stay a few more days.

Self-driving in Yunnan | Taking advantage of the cold wave, I took my family to Dahaicao Mountain to see the snow, play in the snow, and ski
Following the cold wave before this warm spring, Dahaicao Mountain in Huize, Yunnan is a fun and beautiful niche destination.
Here we can ——
❶ See the snow
With an average altitude of over 3000 meters, Dahaicao Mountain is easily dressed in silver when the cold wave hits. The highest peak of Wumeng Mountain, at 4017.3 meters, Guniuzhai, is located here. A typical plateau landscape: although there are no grass and orioles singing at this moment, it is a place where the snow drifts for thousands of miles. The scenery is picturesque, and visitors have yet to recognize it.
❷ Play in the snow
The ancient Nanzhao Dongyue has also welcomed modern development. The Dahaicao Mountain International Ski Resort at an altitude of 3500 meters provides interesting snow games for friends who can't ski. Tire sliding, bicycle ramping, and motorcycle battles are all exciting and fun.
As someone who can't ski, we played all day long. There were few visitors, and we practically had the place to ourselves in the morning, which was very enjoyable.
❸ Ski
Next to the snow play area, the ski resort is a professional venue. On the day of our trip, there was a ski team training there. From what we saw, the ski resort has a large area, complete tracks, fewer tourists, and newer facilities, making it worth experiencing.
✅ Is it suitable to take the family?
The road conditions from Huize County to Dahaicao Mountain are good, with endless beautiful scenery along the way. After arriving at the ski resort, you can choose to ski, and parents and children can choose to play in the snow. There are various ways to play, suitable for a family leisure trip.
