    Buying tickets online was very convenient, but the entrances to the scenic area weren't clearly marked, leaving me unsure of which way to go! The buses to the scenic area were all private minibuses with no clear boarding points, making the management seem rather chaotic. The scenic area itself was still very fun and worth visiting! It was my first time soaking in the waterfall hot springs; the waterfalls were spectacular, and the scenery was beautiful! However, there were still no clear maps of the scenic area, and you had to climb up to find the location of each pool! Overall, I feel the management of the scenic area needs improvement!

    Luoji Mountain is a north-south trending mountain range located in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is named for its shape, which resembles the spiral-shaped hair bun of an ancient maiden. The main peak, Bian'e'eha, reaches an altitude of 4354.2 meters (as of 2023). Spanning Xichang, Puge, and Dechang counties, it covers a total area of ​​approximately 2450 square kilometers. The mountain is composed of Sinian sandstone and conglomerate, preserving Quaternary glacial relics such as cirques and glacial grooves. It contains over 50 glacial lakes, the largest of which is Dahai Lake. The mountain exhibits distinct vertical climate characteristics, with vegetation including Yunnan pine forests, fir primeval forests, over 30 species of wild rhododendrons, and alpine meadows, creating a magnificent sea of ​​flowers every May. It is home to national first-class protected plants such as silver-leaf osmanthus and fragrant fruit trees, and is inhabited by rare animals such as red pandas and serows. It is also rich in medicinal herbs such as cordyceps and fritillaria, as well as mineral deposits of gold, silver, and copper. The scenic area includes natural landscapes such as hot spring waterfalls and colorful lakes. The mountain climate is changeable; while riding the cable car up and down the mountain, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, but when you reach Dahai Lake, it's shrouded in mist, offering a unique view. When you first enter the forest, the sun is out, but after a while, it starts to drizzle. The climate here is pleasant, and the scenery is extremely beautiful!

    This is a worthwhile 5A scenic spot, not far from Liupanshui city center, easily accessible by car or taxi. For most tourists, the cable car is recommended for the entire journey. The cable car operates in two sections, requiring a 200-meter walk between the two sections to reach the other. The combined length of the two sections is likely the longest cable car in China. If driving, you can park at the cable car starting station parking lot. After getting off at the cable car end, it's recommended to take the paid shuttle bus inside the station for convenience. Once at the foot of the mountain, take the rotating cable car back up to the summit – a great experience! Continue your tour and enjoy panoramic views of Meihua Mountain. On a clear day, it's a fantastic spot for photos. Then, slowly walk down the mountain. I don't recommend dining at the revolving restaurant at the summit, as the viewing platform outside is no longer open, making it less interesting. The restaurant is also expensive and has a limited selection. You can still enjoy the same panoramic views of the mountain from the lower level…

    The scenery is beautiful, but there's some traffic. Traffic jams happen because some people think they're smarter than others and skip the line, overtaking from the side lanes and blocking oncoming traffic. I've taken photos of these cars skipping the line and exposing them, hoping to foster public scrutiny and promote social progress. We can't always let those who skip the line take advantage while those with public morals suffer.

    It's worth going. The scenery is great and it's completely pet-friendly. The puppy ran happily on the grassland. The ticket price is 18 per person, and children and seniors over 65 are free. If you drive a car including a driver, the ticket price is 98. It's worth it. I love the wave road experience.

    贝雷帽和朋友们贝雷帽和朋友们

    This wildlife park is packed with interactive experiences and highly recommended for family trips. Almost all the animals are interactive; you can even pet the gentler ones like the Kapibala. You can feed the large carnivores, especially the bears near the entrance, for which there's a specially built viewing platform. The tigers are also available for feeding, and you can even take photos with the cubs up close. The only downside is the climb; the sightseeing bus only covers about 60% of the route…

    It's really great value for money. The ticket is only 20 yuan, and the park has many animals, including lions, tigers, black bears, elephants, giraffes, and other large animals, as well as beautiful animals like parrots and peacocks. It's such a good deal!

    - Enter the park from the east gate: After entering from the east gate, the first thing that catches your eye is the Yuantong flower tide, and the road is lined with beautiful weeping crabapples. If you continue walking, you will see cherry blossoms.   - Animal viewing area: Then you can go to the animal viewing area, where there are Yunnan's specialties, such as the Mengla tiger, Xishuangbanna bison, peacocks, etc., as well as rare animals in my country such as giant pandas, Siberian tigers, and red-crowned cranes, as well as precious animals from all over the world.   - Monument and pavilion area: Visit the Eighth Army Yunnan West Campaign Memorial, the Burma Campaign Chinese Martyrs Monument, etc., and feel that magnificent history. You can also appreciate pavilions of different styles such as the Loyalty Monument Pavilion, the Loyalty and Filial Piety Monument Pavilion, and the Moral Education Monument Pavilion.

    A truly magical place. The Jiuxiang Caves are indeed a masterpiece of nature, with various stalactites and stalagmites of all shapes and sizes, each lifelike. Even more amazing is the underground waterfall flowing through it. It's definitely worth seeing.

    A Half-Day at Green Lake: Hiding Kunming's Gentleness in a Lake of Lotus Leaves and Gulls' Cries Autumn in Kunming always carries a gentle, unhurried quality, and this gentle essence is largely hidden in Green Lake Park. Entering the park in the slanting afternoon sunlight, the first thing that catches the eye is the lake full of green leaves. A few lotus flowers, still holding their withered petals, don't appear desolate; instead, they add a touch of poetic beauty, like "leaving behind withered lotus leaves to listen to the sound of rain." The lake water is shallow, reflecting the weeping crabapple trees on the shore. A breeze blows, the branches sway gently, and the water's surface shatters into a shimmering sheet of gold. Walking slowly along the lakeside path, the path is paved with bluestone slabs, and pavilions and towers stand beside you. Elderly people sit under the shade of trees; some play chess, the sound of chess pieces hitting the board crisp and clear; others sing Yunnan opera, their melodious voices blending with the occasional cries of waterbirds skimming across the lake. Children chased bubbles, their laughter startling a few ducks who fluttered into the water, leaving ripples in their wake, before resurfacing to preen their feathers. As we reached the pavilion in the middle of the lake, a gentle breeze stirred. The willows along the shore drooped their thousands of branches like green curtains, brushing against our cheeks with the fresh scent of grass and trees. Inside the pavilion, an elderly man played the erhu, the melody of "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" flowing softly, blending seamlessly with the lake and mountain scenery, making us slow down and want to cherish this moment of tranquility. As dusk fell, the setting sun bathed the lake in a warm orange glow. The distant Western Hills appeared and disappeared in the twilight, while nearby lotus lanterns lit up one after another, their light and shadow shimmering on the water, as if we had stumbled into a Jiangnan night. Sitting on a bench by the lake, watching tourists disperse in twos and threes, listening to the gentle lapping of the water against the shore, I suddenly understood why Kunming is called the "Spring City"—the wind here is warm, the scenery is gentle, and even time seems exceptionally generous, willing to linger for a moment for everyone who stops by. As I left, I glanced back at Green Lake in the night. It lacks the grandeur of famous mountains and rivers, but possesses a soothing warmth. This half-day, without the rush of hurried travel, only the leisurely pace, was like a gentle encounter, filling my heart with joy. Perhaps this is the charm of Green Lake; with its clear water, verdant shade, and the cry of a seagull, it tells every visitor: life should be like this, serene and beautiful.
