Great! Absolutely fantastic! Extremely satisfied! I think it's more fun than Chimelong, hahaha! Too bad I missed interacting with the little tiger cubs... *crying emoji*
I'll definitely come again next time!! Hopefully, more new tiger cubs will be born and the park will open! There was so much interaction with the animals!
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…

Thoroughly enjoyed the 4D experience of the show! Spectacular and one of its kind! Love the performance and close up experience as we were seated at the VIP front rows. Allowed us to understand more of the Naxi culture through the different acts. Kudos and thank you!
My friend and I visited Lijiang for the second time. Besides the snow-capped mountains and the three ancient towns, we also went to the Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Area. We bought VIP tickets, and the viewing experience was excellent, allowing us to see the performers up close. The scenic area was a great experience; every corner held a different surprise. My friend, who is very brave, even went into the haunted house and screamed the whole time.

Lijiang punishes everyone who doesn't plan ahead!!!
I've wanted to visit Lijiang Old Town for ages!
Dancing around a bonfire in the Old Town
Listening to folk songs in a bar
I did my research beforehand
And stayed for three days and two nights, finally figuring out how to enjoy it!
🏕️Location: Lijiang Old Town
🎫Tickets: Free 24 hours a day
🚗Transportation: There's a 20 RMB bus from the airport directly to the Old Town; there are stops at both the South and North Gates. Taxis are also readily available.
📸Photo Spots in the Old Town
▪️Big Waterwheel: One of the must-see spots in Lijiang Old Town, located in Yuhe Square. A huge waterwheel, with many Dongba wishing plaques nearby.
▪️Sifang Street: Located in the center of Lijiang Old Town, connecting all the alleys. There's a bonfire party around 7 PM at the e-People's Fun Zone.
▪️ Umbrella Street: A whole street lined with oil-paper umbrellas. During the day, the sunlight makes them colorful, and at night they create a real old-street atmosphere.
▪️ Wenchang Palace or Lion Mountain Viewpoint: The viewpoint in front of Wenchang Palace offers panoramic views of Lijiang Old Town. From Lion Mountain, you can go to Wangu Tower Park for a complete view of the old town.
▪️ Qiyi Street and Wuyi Street: Food and bars. You can find a bar to listen to music in the evening. It's also a route to Mufu and Zhongyi Market.
▪️ Black Dragon Pool Park: The park is right next to Lijiang Old Town, about a 10-minute walk or a few minutes by taxi. Check the sunrise time in advance to photograph the golden sunrise on the mountain. Entry is free before 8 AM.
About food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We found "Hongxing Casserole" near Zhongyi Market. The casserole with fresh meat stewed to order was incredibly high quality! You can eat your fill for just 30 RMB per person. We ordered lamb casserole, pork rib casserole, and mushroom casserole – every flavor was delicious! 😋 Plus, the owner poured fresh chili on top, and we couldn't stop eating!
About bars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When in Lijiang, you must experience the local folk bar culture. We chose "Waste a Life Bar," where you can enjoy the view and listen to music. The singers take turns performing, each with a different style, so you can hear a variety of songs throughout the night! 🎵

Visiting the Mu Palace during the day is the best time to truly appreciate its grandeur. The architectural lines, courtyard layers, and carved beams and painted rafters are all clearly visible in the sunlight, relying solely on their natural beauty without any nighttime filter. The overall scale is considerable, and as you walk around, you can feel the confidence of the Mu family, who once held absolute power in Lijiang.
The highlights are the expansive views and meticulous layout. Standing on higher ground overlooking the ancient city, you instantly understand why they could rule for centuries. The downsides are the large number of tourists and the somewhat official-sounding guide signs, but these don't prevent you from taking stunning photos.
Overall: Worth a visit, especially during the day to truly appreciate its scale and details.

The location is rather remote. The attraction opens at 8:00 AM. After buying round-trip tickets, we were told we had to wait until 8:30 AM to catch the bus, so we walked up ourselves. There aren't many other interesting sights inside; just a large and a small empty mountain that doesn't really show any volcanic remains. The hot air balloon ride costs 300 yuan and only lasts seven or eight minutes. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're specifically going for a hot air balloon ride. It's neither fun nor offers any particularly good scenery.
5 stars! A rendezvous with the ancient pulse of the Earth – the geological wonders are breathtaking!
The Tengchong Volcanic Geological Park is a must-visit in Tengchong, a true treasure trove favored by nature! As a 5A scenic area, it perfectly preserves millions of years of volcanic history. Stepping inside is like entering a natural geological museum, offering an unparalleled experience.
Upon entering, head straight to the Volcanic Geological Museum on your right. The combination of educational information, specimen displays, and multimedia interactions is incredibly intuitive. Understanding volcanic formation before exploring the attractions doubles the immersive experience. For families with children, don't miss the Volcanic Science Experience Hall, with its 4D simulated volcanic eruption and other engaging activities that allow kids to learn while playing. The park's electric shuttle bus is a great deal at 15 yuan round trip, taking you directly to the foot of Xiaokongshan and Dakongshan, saving you the hassle of walking.
Xiaokongshan is incredibly welcoming. A little over a hundred steps lead easily to the top. The crater is perfectly round and expansive, and a boardwalk allows you to circle it, symbolizing "good fortune coming." Looking down, you can see the crater bottom covered in greenery, while looking up, you're greeted by expansive mountain views. Although Dakongshan has over 600 steep steps, making the climb a bit strenuous, it's absolutely worth it once you reach the summit! The panoramic views of the continuous volcanic cones and vast lava plateaus, some areas retaining charcoal-black geological traces, make it seem as if you can touch the remnants of ancient volcanic eruptions. The vistas are even more magnificent than those of Xiaokongshan.
For a different perspective, a hot air balloon ride is a must! Arrive before 8 am for the best experience. Around 280 yuan for a 10-minute tethered ride, a straight ascent and descent, offers a clear view of the entire crater of both Dakongshan and Xiaokongshan. Against the backdrop of the blue sky, every shot is a masterpiece (note that the ride may be cancelled due to bad weather, so please confirm in advance). For those with less stamina, horseback riding is an option. A round trip to Dakongshan costs 180 yuan, and someone will lead the horse throughout the journey, making it very convenient.
The scenic area tickets are very cost-effective, and the preferential policies are thoughtful, offering discounts for seniors, children, and students. The entire tour takes about 4 hours, combining hiking and sightseeing with educational activities, making it suitable for families, couples, or groups of friends. I highly recommend everyone come and experience this breathtaking sight from the depths of the earth; it's absolutely worth the trip!

Nighttime tickets are cheaper, but wait times are shorter than during the day, allowing for a wider range of attractions, and the Torch Festival is also lively. The park's design reflects strong ethnic characteristics and cultural heritage. Objectively speaking, annual passes are relatively inexpensive, and for families traveling with children, you can rent very affordable B&Bs (over 1,000 yuan per month, or under 100 yuan per day), perfect for both study and leisure activities. However, the planned location fails to fully leverage the unique character of Dianchi Lake. Due to its locational constraints, its food, living facilities, and transportation are inferior to those of the main urban area. For example, the local economy (Jinning District) may be problematic. The road between the main urban area and the park is unlit early in the evening, and the road is uneven in some areas.
Adults can bring their children to play, and both adults and children will have a lot of fun. It is impossible to play here in one day. The food inside is relatively expensive, so it is best to bring some food with you. Some areas may be slightly cheaper, but generally it is more expensive than outside. Don't buy raincoats outside, as the water activities inside are all free. When I left, I took a picture of the beautiful sunset, which was very photogenic. It's a pity that I didn't get to play many activities with my baby, but the older children didn't want to leave after having so much fun.

[August Xizhou Ancient Town: In the rice fields and Bai customs, meet the romance of summer] August Xizhou Ancient Town is a treasure land filled with greenery and fireworks! Less than half an hour's drive from the ancient city of Dali, just got off the bus and was surprised by the endless rice fields at the entrance of the village. The green rice waves undulating with the wind, and some egrets passed by. The blue sky and white clouds lined the white tiles and white walls of the Bai people's houses. No wonder everyone runs here with their cameras. Time in the ancient town is very slow. The stone road is winding and twisting, and there are intact Bai old houses on both sides. The darts and the carved doors and windows are all exquisite. Walking in is like breaking into the time museum. The key point is to praise the Yanjia Courtyard, not only to see the exquisiteness of Bai architecture, but also to understand the history of Xizhou business gangs. The pomegranate trees in the yard are full of fruits, especially the atmosphere of life. In August, just in time for the local fruit peak season! The roadside stalls are full of yellow figs, sweet grapes, and freshly picked blueberries, affordable and fresh. Of course, Xizhou is indispensable. It is recommended to bake sweet mouths (rose filling) and salted mouths (pork end), the outer skin is crispy and the inner is soft, with a cup of milk fan Shaqima, and the carbide is happy to be directly full. I found a small shop by the river and sat down to eat, watched the flowing water, listened to the locals chatting in dialect. It's so pleasant. In the afternoon, you can rent a bicycle to ride along the rice fields, blow the wind through the fields, pass the villagers' vegetable fields and ponds, and feel the most simple pastoral scenery. In the evening, the light on the edge of the rice field became soft, taking pictures with filters, and many newcomers took wedding photos here, which was very romantic. The only thing to note is that it is a bit sun-dried in the afternoon of August, remember to do a good job of sun protection; there are a little more tourists on the main street of the ancient town, but you can find a cleanliness when you turn into the alley, suitable for slowly shaking. Overall, Xizhou does not have the hustle and bustle of Dali Ancient City, but has more idyllic and humanistic heritage. Come here in August, like putting the beauty of the whole summer in your hands, recommend it to friends who want to slow down and feel Dali ～
Well, the entire Dali Erhai Lake circle is about 80 kilometers long, and you will pass through many ancient towns in the middle, such as Xizhou Ancient Town. At the same time, there will be a lot of people renting cars, and you can also see many luxury cars. But you should pay attention to whether you choose to tour clockwise or counterclockwise. Sometimes, there will be more traffic jams in one direction.

Dukezong Ancient Town: A Slow Moment Where Tibetan Life Meets Intangible Cultural Heritage
5.0 Rating🌟 Recommended: Rich Tibetan charm, vibrant intangible cultural heritage experiences, and breathtaking night views
🌟 Key Highlights
1. Faith and Scenery in Harmony: A must-see at Guishan Park's world-largest prayer wheel! It requires the combined efforts of several people, and after three turns, the bells chime softly, sunlight filtering through the cracks, creating a captivating atmosphere. From the park's perch, you can overlook the ancient town. At sunset, the crimson walls and the rosy glow of the sunset create stunning photos.
2. Immersive Intangible Cultural Heritage Experiences: The Ancient Town Intangible Cultural Heritage Center holds hidden surprises. Learn to paint thangkas with a master artist, and feel the solemnity of faith as your fingertips trace the lines. The natural aroma of Tibetan incense wafts through the Tibetan incense-making area, and listen to volunteers explain the wisdom of combining over 30 ingredients—an experience far beyond your expectations. Moonlight Square occasionally hosts intangible cultural heritage folk song performances. These a cappella performances are truly soul-stirring, and even if you don't understand the lyrics, you'll still be moved. 3. Nightscape and fireworks blend: After dark, Guozhuang dance music fills Sifang Square, and Tibetans lead tourists in hand-in-hand circles, melting the distance between strangers in laughter. The illuminated ancient city resembles the grandeur of the Tea-Horse Road, with cobblestone pavements bathed in warm light and the evening breeze mingled with the aroma of butter tea.
🍜 Food and Accommodation
- Food Recommendation: The yak beef hotpot at the quiet Mani Stone Tibetan Restaurant is a must-try. The broth is cooked with barley cakes and local mushrooms, creating a rich, meaty and mushroomy aroma. The 3294 barley yogurt sprinkled with sugar offers a sweet and sour taste that's perfect for relieving greasiness. The Tibetan fragrant pork barbecue is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the chili powder makes it even more fragrant with every chew.
- Accommodation Recommendation: Prioritize Tibetan-style guesthouses within the ancient city. Some offer courtyards and view rooms, where you can see the prayer wheels just by opening the curtains. Remember to ask in advance if there's oxygen supply, which will make you feel more at ease at an altitude of 3,300 meters.
⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid
1. Avoid buying handmade Tibetan knives when shopping. They can't be taken on planes or high-speed trains, and mailing them is also troublesome. For yak jerky, choose bulk yak jerky that you can sample to avoid synthetic meat.
2. When joining a tour group, confirm the itinerary details. Some tourists have experienced reduced sightseeing time and unauthorized shopping. We recommend choosing a small tour group and keeping the contract.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise upon arrival. Oxygen cylinders at pharmacies are cheaper at 15 yuan per can than at the scenic area. Avoid drinking butter tea on an empty stomach to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.
💡 Practical Tips
- Best time to visit: 3:00 PM - 9:00 PM. During the day, visit the intangible cultural heritage sites and turn the prayer wheels. In the evening, watch the sunset. At night, enjoy Guozhuang dance and the night view.
- Outfit suggestion: Wear a white long skirt with a navy blue shawl, or a black sweatshirt with a red scarf. Avoid bright colors that clash with the red clay walls. - Respect customs: Turn prayer wheels clockwise, remove shoes when entering Tibetan houses, and ask permission before photographing locals.
The beauty of Dukezong lies in the slow pace of time, not the rush of checking off a checklist, but in the rhythm of the prayer wheels, the sound of the fluttering prayer flags, and the warmth of the butter tea offered by the Tibetans. Don't rush yourself here; just follow the rhythm of the wind.

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.
(Need me to adapt this article into a short caption suitable for WeChat Moments?)
I've also been to Cuihu Park. Most of it feels like any other city park, though there are some traditional Chinese-style buildings, such as the Guanyu Tower. The reflections of the blue sky and white clouds in the pond create a beautiful scene. If you're not in a rush to shop, you can spend half a day here enjoying a cup of tea. It's quite relaxing. Of course, there are also some young women snapping photos to enhance the scenery. There are many ancient ginkgo trees in the park, and it's hard to imagine how beautiful they must be when their leaves are golden.

Baisha Ancient Town has already achieved a similar effect to Lijiang Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town in their heyday, attracting many visitors to Lijiang who also make a point of visiting Baisha. This is a very positive development. The town boasts many uniquely decorated and charming shops, and some snack stalls are gradually developing their own specialties, extending their opening hours late into the night to cater to every need.
When exploring this town, don't rely too much on recommendations; instead, explore on your own. Spend more time with friendly shopkeepers and listen to their stories – that's the best way to enjoy the experience. If you like, you can stay in one of the town's guesthouses and fully immerse yourself in the sunshine and freedom.
However, many areas feel chaotic and disorganized. The main street is narrow yet constantly filled with vehicles, creating a chaotic atmosphere filled with shouting and swearing. Vehicles should be banned!
Furthermore, some buildings have been renovated in a haphazard and inconsistent style, which is unacceptable. Maintaining the traditional architectural style is crucial for an ancient town. We hope the management will take this seriously.
Encounter Baisha Ancient Town and discover a different Lijiang.
If you've grown tired of the hustle and bustle of Lijiang Old Town, Baisha Ancient Town promises a refreshing new experience. It feels like a hidden paradise nestled beneath the bustle, its tranquility and pristine beauty captivating the heart.
Upon arrival, the iconic Baisha Memorial Archway catches your eye, its quaint charm imbued with the traces of time. Strolling along the bluestone streets, you'll find traditional Naxi architecture lined with wooden doors and windows, and carved eaves, inviting you to slow down and savor this rare, quaint charm. Commercialization is minimal here, with no cookie-cutter tourist souvenir shops. Instead, you'll find vibrant shops filled with local handicrafts and snacks, as well as charming cafes and teahouses.
I highly recommend a visit to Yiwatang. The view from this café is truly breathtaking. Sitting by the window, you can clearly see the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, shrouded in mist and clouds, like a breathtaking landscape painting. Order a latte and a slice of tiramisu, and gaze out the window at the beautiful scenery. Time seems to slow down and become beautiful. The restaurant's decor is stylish, with wooden tables and chairs, warm yellow lighting, and a variety of green plants, creating a truly captivating atmosphere.
Photographers shouldn't miss the Naxi Tribe Ranch. Here, you can don Tibetan clothing and take stunning photos against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. The blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and grasslands, and the colorful Tibetan clothing—every photo is sure to go viral on Instagram. The ranch also boasts adorable lambs, their furry fur is incredibly comforting. Holding one for a photo is truly adorable!
Besides these, the Baisha murals are also worth a visit. These murals have a long history, incorporating elements from Tibetan Buddhism and Taoism. Their vibrant colors and delicate lines create a rich tapestry of cultural significance. Entering the mural museum is like traveling through time, engaging in a conversation with the ancients, and feeling the weight of history.
As for food, the Shambhala Yak Milk Tea is a must-try. It's rich and creamy, similar to Cha Yan Yue Se, but with its own unique flavor. I couldn't get enough of it for two days straight. There's also the roadside grilled yak skewers, 5 yuan each. The meat is firm, sprinkled with chili flakes and cumin powder, and the aroma is incredibly satisfying. The popular flower steamed buns are also great. Although only 6 yuan each, they're large, sweet, and soft. The line can be a bit long, so you need to be patient.
Transportation is also convenient. A taxi from Lijiang Old Town costs about 30 yuan and takes about half an hour. On the way back, you can share a bus near the archway back to the Old Town for 10 yuan per person.
Baisha Old Town is uncrowded with tourists and not overly commercialized. It's simply a peaceful and beautiful place. Here, you can slow down, enjoy a leisurely time, and experience the purest Lijiang. I highly recommend a visit!
