    The Three Pagodas Scenic Area is generally nice, but the ticket price is a bit expensive, the signs are unclear, there's no free incense for worshipping Buddha, there are few staff members, and I got lost. I finally had to ask a vendor to tell me that the Three Pagodas were downstairs. There were too many steps, and my legs were exhausted from walking.

    The entrance fee wasn't expensive, but the extra charges inside were outrageous. The grassland was beautiful, but most of it was fenced off. However, the景区 service was decent; the sightseeing bus was readily available, and a kind lady even helped me make a phone call. 🚗🙏

    I'd previously tried Sentosa Island in Singapore, and since I was in Dali this time and there was a go-kart racing event, I decided to check it out. They're two different experiences; Singapore focuses on thrills and excitement, while Dali's appeal lies in its beautiful scenery. Therefore, they can't be compared directly. However, Yunxiang Mountain truly offers unparalleled views. The entrance overlooking Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain, shrouded in mist, is like a fairyland. It seems like the best spot to watch the sunset, but unfortunately, the timing wasn't right, and I missed it. In summary, Yunxiang Mountain is a scenic spot that Dali has developed in the last two years, suitable for camping, watching the sunset, and go-karting. I hope it won't be overly commercialized and ruin this beautiful place.

    The hot spring area isn't very large, with indoor pools (each with a separate fee), outdoor pools, and an outdoor pool. The water is very smooth, the hygiene is acceptable, and the service is good. It's primarily known for its high cost-performance ratio. It's more convenient to get there by car. We took a taxi, and when we left, we had to wait a long time to get one.

    Feeding the small animals in the Cute Pet Park was very interesting. It felt like New Zealand. It was so beautiful. The children loved it! We didn’t go to any other places except the Cute Pet Park. The tickets for the non-powered park were a bit expensive, so we didn’t go.
