Things to do in Fuyuan

The cave is nice and worth a visit, but the park is not well managed and there are a lot of weeds. There are a lot of flowers in the rose garden, but they are not well managed. It is still worth a visit if you manage it well.

A historic pass, an ancient road, the Yunnan-Guizhou boundary, and a geographical wonder!

Natural landscape -Ancient Ginkgo Group: The densest ancient ginkgo group in the world, presenting a golden ocean landscape in autumn -Small bridges and flowing water: The clear streams and ancient bridges in the core area form a poetic picture -Apricot Lake Bridge: A five-story pavilion-style wind and rain bridge spans across the Apricot Lake, where you can enjoy tea and view the scenery Humanistic relics -Ancient Post Road: An important section of the Yunnan-Guizhou Ancient Post Road and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road -Tree King: An ancient tree over 1,500 years old, although the upper part is withered, the lower part is still growing tenaciously -Ancient houses: Traditional tiled houses and ancient ginkgo trees complement each other

Walking slowly along the path, a cool mist washes over you, and the holographic projections and the waterfall's flow intertwine, like a flowing galaxy. Reaching the central viewing platform, the 77.8-meter-high waterfall transforms into a giant natural screen. Lasers pierce the night sky, and rainbows and Buyi ethnic totems appear and disappear in the mist. The roar of the waterfall and the sound of drums resonate together; at that moment, you truly forget to take out your phone and just want to stand and watch the whole thing.

Location: Haigeng Park/No. 16 Hubin Road ↔ Xishan Longmen (West Mountain Dragon Gate), not near the old street, you have to go to the Dianchi Lake area. Experience: Crossing the lake + climbing the mountain, about 20 minutes one way, views of Dianchi Lake, Sleeping Beauty Mountain, and city scenery, great for taking photos. Ticket Price: One way about 59-60 RMB, round trip about 98-100 RMB. Advantages: Easy for lazy people to climb West Mountain, no climbing required, unique views; seagulls in winter. Disadvantages: Stops during strong winds/thunderstorms; long queues during peak season; separate ticket/walking required for Longmen after climbing the mountain; don't confuse with the "Xishan Longmen Cableway". Conclusion: First time in Kunming, taking the Dianchi-Xishan route → worth it; if just exploring the old street → not worth a special trip.

I visited this well-known 5A scenic spot several years ago. I bought Ashima cigarettes there for 260 yuan a carton, but I heard they've been discontinued for a few years. There were many vendors selling ginseng fruit in the parking lot, the cheapest being 10 yuan for five bags. I bought quite a few.

A day trip from Guiyang is easy; the ascent is moderate and not tiring, and there are no queues during off-peak season. The Grand Canyon boat tour is excellent for taking photos. The downside is that there are no direct buses from Qianxi. If you stop at the high-speed rail station, the shuttle bus to the scenic area is full, and you have to wait an hour to share a ride. Returning to the high-speed rail station, you have to wait for over an hour to get a taxi. I strongly recommend taking a bus from Guiyang to and from the scenic area.

Hidden in Mile is a small manor town, a pleasant place to stroll around. There are various flowers, such as lavender, as well as red brick buildings with different designs, and a large lake. There are restaurants, guesthouses, and villas.

I went during the off-season, so the service was practically nonexistent, but the environment was very nice and worth a visit. It's best to hire a car for the round trip, as it's difficult to get a taxi on-site. If you go during the off-season, you should bring your own food, as there were no food vendors inside the scenic area.
