Dianchi Lake

4.7/5

10.7k reviews

Dianchi Lake, also known as Kunming Lake, is the sixth-largest freshwater lake in China. Its expansive and magnificent surface has earned it the reputation of "five hundred li of Dianchi Lake" since ancient times. As one of the larger plateau lakes in Yunnan Province, Dianchi Lake is surrounded by numerous waterfront parks and wetlands, making it an unmissable stop when visiting Kunming. Every winter, large flocks of black-headed gulls fly all the way from Siberia to Dianchi Lake to spend the winter. This spectacle has occurred faithfully every year since 1985, and feeding the black-headed gulls along the lakeshore has become a highly popular winter experience in Kunming. Strolling along the sightseeing road on the east bank of Dianchi Lake is a great way to experience the lake up close. On one side is the vast, misty expanse of water, with the Western Hills stretching across the distance; in winter, the sightseeing road is especially lively, as residents and visitors alike stop by the lakeside to interact with the black-headed gulls. For a different perspective, you can take the cableway from the lakeside to Dragon Gate in the Western Hills and look down from above, taking in the entire Dianchi Lake at a glance. In the Caohai area at the northern end, you can also take a boat out on the lake and experience its vastness from the water. In recent years, through sustained governance, the water quality and lakeside ecology of Dianchi Lake have gradually improved, the wetland views along the lake are also continuously being restored, and the sightseeing environment has been significantly enhanced compared to the past.

Stone Forest Scenic Area

8.7

4.7/5

18.9k reviews

Stone Forest Scenic Area is located in Shilin County, Kunming, and is one of Kunming's key attractions. Stone Forest Scenic Area is a typical karst landscape, with stone peaks, stone buds, sinkholes, and underground rivers everywhere. The peak forest transforms into various forms—sword-shaped, tower-shaped, mushroom-shaped, and more—bizarre and magnificent. The entire scenic area consists of the Major and Minor Stone Forest, Naigu Stone Forest, Dadieshui, Changhu, and other sections. These sections are relatively scattered, and regular tours are mainly concentrated in the Major and Minor Stone Forest area. The Major and Minor Stone Forests are located in the same area. Walk along the path for 20 minutes, and on your left is the smaller Minor Stone Forest Scenic Area with relatively gentle stone peaks. Amid a dense cluster of peaks stands the famous Ashima Rock, where the towering peak forest transforms into a graceful Yi girl named Ashima, as if beckoning to you. This is a favorite spot for visitors to take photos. Besides the pretty Ashima, the Minor Stone Forest area also features views such as Shenjun and Cushi Qingtian, each with its own distinct shape. This is a test of your imagination. If your imagination is not vivid enough, it is recommended to hire a guide, under whose guidance you will gain a whole new understanding of the peak forest before your eyes. As you slowly drive along the highway, the roadside unfolds in turn with Tang Monk Rock, Stone Prison, Phoenix Preening Its Feathers, Lingzhi Rock, and more—each vividly lifelike and exquisitely true to form, displaying the wondrous craftsmanship of nature to you in all manner of poses. Walking along the passageway, you will unexpectedly arrive at the Major Stone Forest area. After passing such wonders as "Two Birds Feeding Each Other," "Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon," "Lotus Peak," "Stone Forest Wonderland," and "Stone Screen," you may be feeling a bit tired. Taking a short rest at Lion Pavilion and admiring the reflection of the peak forest in Lion Pond across the way is a serene pleasure in itself. After seeing so many peak forests, it is only natural to feel some aesthetic fatigue. It is time to enjoy the water scenery. Board a cruise on Stone Forest Lake and drift across the water, where mountain scenery and lake views come together in one place, and all your stress and worries simply melt away. Naigu Stone Forest, also known as New Stone Forest or Mozhai Stone Forest, is composed of the Stone Forest Scenic Area, Baiyun Lake, Shifeng Mountain, and Yougu Xianpu Waterfall. Compared with the Major and Minor Stone Forests, this place presents another style. The peak forest here is overall grayish-black, with tall and densely packed stone pillars in castle, tower, and mushroom shapes. The simple and rugged grotesque rocks surge skyward like waves with magnificent momentum. Strolling through the black peak forest feels like entering a wild and primitive world.

Wild Elephant Valley

8.6

4.3/5

11.4k reviews

Located in the heart of the Mengyang sub-reserve of the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, Wild Elephant Valley is one of the main habitats for wild Asian elephants in China. Situated at the junction of the eastern and western sections of the Mengyang area, it serves as a corridor where wild Asian elephants gather and interact, which is how it got its name. A visit to Wild Elephant Valley offers two main experiences: learning about Asian elephants and immersing yourself in the tropical rainforest. The attraction features walking trails winding through the rainforest and an elevated elephant-watching boardwalk. Strolling along these paths, you can take in the atmosphere of the tropical rainforest and spot rare tropical plants along the way. You may also come across footprints, dung, and other traces left by wild elephants, and with some luck, even catch sight of a herd roaming through the forest. The Elephant Science Park is the core experience area of the attraction, where visitors can observe the daily behaviors and habits of Asian elephants up close through natural behavior displays. At the entrance of the park, there is an elephant canteen where visitors can hand-feed bananas, cucumbers, and other fruits and vegetables to the elephants, enjoying the fun of close interaction with Asian elephants. The elephant observation deck area is a zone where wild Asian elephants frequently roam. It was established by researchers for monitoring and research, and is now also an ideal spot for visitors to wait for wild elephants to appear. The Asian Elephant Museum within the attraction systematically introduces the species knowledge and conservation status of Asian elephants through science exhibitions. Riding the tropical rainforest sightseeing cableway offers a panoramic view of the rainforest with its intertwined vines, and with luck, you may even spot wild elephants foraging and playing beneath the cableway; the elevated patrol and elephant-watching boardwalk allows visitors to safely observe the rainforest ecology from the canopy layer, and even when encountering wild elephants, they can watch safely from above. In addition, small attractions such as the butterfly garden, snake and lizard garden, and orchid garden each have their own distinctive features and can be visited along the way.

Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge

8.3

4.6/5

6.5k reviews

Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the world's deepest gorges,Located in the east of Tiger Leaping Gorge town, Shangri-La county, it is divided into three sections: Upper, Middle, and Lower Tiger Leaping, with a total length of approx. 20 km. The Jinsha River rushes here, flanked by the Jade Dragon and Haba snow mountains. At its narrowest, the river is only 20 to 30 m wide, and combined with the massive drop, the water surges with tremendous force. Beyond its magnificent natural scenery, Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge is also a world-renowned hiking destination, attracting a steady stream of outdoor enthusiasts every year. Only after passing through Middle Tiger Leaping and descending to the riverbank can you truly appreciate the grand and majestic momentum of Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge. Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge is renowned for its steepness, danger, grandeur, and magnificence. Among them, Upper Tiger Leaping is famous for the "gorge mouth" and the "Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area - Tiger Leaping Stone"; Middle Tiger Leaping is perilous due to "Starry Sky" and "A Sliver of Sky"; while Lower Tiger Leaping is beautiful for "a calm lake emerging from the high gorge" and "Daju scenery." Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge Upper Tiger Leaping is the upper section of Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge and the narrowest part of the entire Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge. Near the viewing platform, the width is only less than 30 m, and a triangular boulder stands prominently in the middle of the river, splitting the torrent into two and sending up snow-white spray and waves of roaring sound. Legend has it that a fierce tiger once leaped from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain side to the Haba Snow Mountain side using this boulder in the middle of the river, hence the name of the stone: Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area - Tiger Leaping Stone. Upper Tiger Leaping was developed earlier, and a plank road has been built so you can descend from the roadside to the riverbank; a fast walker can get there in 20 minutes. Because the path is simple and easy, the distance is relatively short, and the difficulty is low, some people jokingly call Upper Tiger Leaping the "senior activity center." Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge Middle Tiger Leaping is below Upper Tiger Leaping, about 8 km from the Shangri-La Upper Tiger Leaping Scenic Area - Viewing Platform. The mouth of Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge in Shangri-La, Yunnan is slightly wider, and the river surface is relatively open, but there are many dangerous shoals. The river water threads through the reef area, and under the sunlight, it sparkles, like stars shining across the sky, hence the name: Starry Sky. Winding down along "Teacher Zhang's Trail," the path is narrow and rugged, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the riverbank. By the river, jagged rocks stand, and the surging water splashes up a mist of spray, where you can see gorgeous rainbows. Lower Tiger Leaping Gorge Continuing along the road from Middle Tiger Leaping, you pass the "Slippery Rock Slab," where loose mountain rock causes frequent falling stones, and suddenly the view opens up: the river surface widens and the current grows gentle, as if a massive reservoir has appeared within the gorge—this is Lower Tiger Leaping. In the distance, fields stretch in a patchwork and cooking smoke curls upward; you have already reached Daju Township in Lijiang.

Potatso National Park

8.3

4.4/5

10.2k reviews

Potatso National Park is located in Shangri-La, Yunnan, in the heart of the "Three Parallel Rivers" World Natural Heritage site in northwest Yunnan. In Tibetan, "Potatso" means ferrying all beings to the shores of happiness. The park is composed mainly of two plateau lake areas, Bita Lake and Shudu Lake, which are more than ten km apart, with subalpine meadows such as Militing and Tibetan villages such as Luorong Village scattered between them. Lakes and wetlands, primeval forests, and plateau pastures are concentrated here, and most of the mountain forests remain in their original ecological state. Sightseeing is done by taking eco-friendly shuttle buses between the areas and then hiking along boardwalks to observe the details. The water of Shudu Lake is clear and blue, and by the lakeside stretches a vast highland pasture. In spring and summer, wildflowers bloom across the grassland, making it very beautiful. On winter mornings, moisture on the lake condenses into a white mist that spreads over the water's surface; only by taking the first bus of the early morning can you witness this wonder. A walking boardwalk has been built along the lake across the pasture, and it takes about an hour to walk the full loop. At the end of the boardwalk is the eco-friendly bus stop, where you board after sightseeing to reach the next destination. The next stop of the eco-friendly bus is Militing Grassland, which is flat and open. Bitahai Lake is the last stop on the eco-friendly bus route and also the highlight of this trip. In Tibetan, Bitahai means "lake of oak trees like a felt blanket" — as the name suggests, the lakeside is covered with dense oak trees like a green felt. Large numbers of azaleas grow among the oak forest. Every year in May and June when spring comes and flowers bloom, azalea petals fall into the water, and the fish that eat the slightly toxic azalea flowers float to the surface one after another. This is the famous scene of Bitahai Lake: drunken fish amid azaleas. A boardwalk has also been built along the shore of Bitahai Lake; walking slowly along it leads to the lakeside pier. There are cruises on the lake, allowing you to tour the mountain scenery and water views around the lake.
