Things to do in Yanshan

The boat ticket is quite expensive, it is 170 yuan. If you want a more luxurious boat, it will cost more. It depends on how you view this place. If you are going to play for two or three days, it is more suitable to travel by water.

Aside from the water being a bit low when I went, everything else was fine. The boat ride past the waterfall was worth seeing, and the path to the viewing platform after disembarking was also okay. It was a bit commercialized but not overly so, and the facilities along the way blended well with the surrounding environment.

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.

The environment of this place is very good. I will come here next time.

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.

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.

Aside from the slightly expensive ticket price, it's flawless! But it's definitely worth the money. We went at the end of July. We went early in the morning and boarded the boat without a reservation. After one round, a long queue had already formed opposite us. If you don't want to queue, definitely go early. The scenery was breathtaking; my phone couldn't capture the beauty of the view. The boatman stopped the raft midway to give us time to take photos. The whole trip took almost an hour, and it was well worth it. My parents loved it! Highly recommended!
