A detailed guide to the perfect getaway at Fuxian Lake in Yunnan

♥️Recommended Itinerary: Day1: Drive clockwise around the lake 🚗, Moon Bay/Cherry Blossom Valley～Fossil Museum～Sun Mountain Town～Dawan Village (S Bay)～Xianhu Bay Day2: Sunshine Coast Gushan Island～Wanzigou～Starfish Cave～Luchong Scenic Area～Red Sand Beach～Fuhai Bay Park ♥️Attractions: 1️⃣ Wanzigou Free ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The lake water is super blue, and the white pebbles on the shore form a stark contrast with the lake water, with a few large willow trees on the shore. 2️⃣ Dawan Village S Bay Free⭐️⭐️⭐️ Navigate to Fuxian Lake Viewing Pavilion, drive forward about 200m, there is a road up the mountain, drive up there. You can park on the road, walk along the road to buy coffee from the small carts, enjoy the sunset while drinking coffee, life couldn't be more pleasant 3️⃣ Moon Bay Wetland Park 30 yuan/person (ticket can be exchanged for food, drinks, and fun)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Known as the 'Little Maldives', the white sand here is especially soft, and the clear lake water makes the photos look like a vacation in Sanya. 4️⃣ Red Sand Beach Free⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Arguably the most popular spot, the only red sand beach in China, taking photos 📷 is beautiful, and aerial photography is even more stunning. 5️⃣ Fuhai Bay·Flower Sea⭐️⭐️⭐️ Opposite to Guanglong Town, an endless sea of flowers covers the entire lakeshore. Looking out at the geometrically arranged sea of flowers, it's like a colorful oil painting. 6️⃣ Cherry Blossom Valley Ticket 10 yuan⭐️⭐️⭐️ Next to Moon Bay, only 200 meters away from the underwater ancient city site. Compared to Moon Bay, there are fewer people, and the lounge chairs and swings are free. 7️⃣ Luchong Scenic Area (AAAA) Ticket 15 yuan⭐️⭐️⭐️ The earliest scenic area, and the one I've visited the most since I was a child, but if you don't want to climb Bijia Mountain, there's no need to go. 8️⃣ Starfish Cave Ticket 15 yuan⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The beach and the lake are clearly demarcated, the trees by the lake are lush, and there are facilities for sailing, diving, and kayaking. 9️⃣ Gushan (Ancient Dian Culture Park)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The only island on Fuxian Lake, also an early scenic spot, but its location is indeed remote. And the boatmen will promote island tours, which are not cost-effective, so it's recommended to refuse. 🔟 Guanglong Town Free⭐⭐⭐ At night there is a starry night market, invested by the same investor as the one in Xishuangbanna, but it seems that the development here at Fuxian Lake is not taking off, most of the homestays and shops are vacant, and you can come here for a stroll and some food when you're bored at night 1️⃣1️⃣ Sun Mountain Town Free⭐️⭐️ The European-style resort town, sisters who like to take photos can go check in, the dining on the mountain is slightly expensive 1️⃣2️⃣ Fossil Museum Free⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you are traveling with kids, it's recommended (closes at 16:30, be mindful of the time)
