The attraction is worth visiting, and the price is good value for money. However, it says that it includes three treasures, but the three treasures are 9 kilometers away from the ancient city. It seems like they are just adding a service to make it look better, but they are not sincere. It would be better not to include the three treasures. If they do include them, they should consider partners who are closer to the ancient city. Otherwise, there is really no need to include this service.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain for the Naxi people. Its 13 snow-capped peaks stretch like a jade dragon, while Blue Moon Valley boasts azure waters like a jewel. The cable car takes you to 4680 meters for close-up views of the glaciers. With its breathtaking scenery and rich cultural heritage, it's a must-visit destination in Yunnan.

Taking the high-speed train from Baise to see the seagulls is so convenient! The Xishan Cableway is right next to the Haigeng Dam, which the kids loved! It was a novel experience, offering a panoramic view of Kunming.
A must-see in Kunming is Xishan (Western Hill), and taking the Dianchi Lake Cableway is essential. After descending Xishan, go to the Longmen ticket office to buy a one-way ticket for 60 yuan (round trip 100 yuan; it's recommended to go from Xishan to Haigeng Park, taking a one-way trip). The cable car ride soars over Dianchi Lake, reaching the must-see Haigeng Park in 15 minutes.
The scenery along the way is breathtaking. The cable car is actually divided into two sections: one descends from the mountain, offering a higher vantage point for viewing Dianchi Lake, and the other is on flat ground, from the foot of the mountain to Haigeng Park. The route even crosses the water of Dianchi Lake, making it a very unique and rare lakeside cable car in China.

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 scenery was beautiful, with the lush greenery at the foot of the mountain contrasting sharply with the snow-capped peaks. The only downside was that it was snowing, making the boardwalk very slippery, and many people fell. The service was not as good as that at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

It's definitely worth a visit. The exhibits showcase the customs, religious beliefs, and living environments of various ethnic minorities, helping us gain a more comprehensive understanding of them. Our group used a portable music player (which we bought ourselves) to follow the designated route throughout the scenic area, and we saw almost every ethnic minority group we encountered, many of which we had never heard of before. We also watched their performances; they truly lived up to their reputation for singing and dancing. It was fantastic.
This was a stop on the way back from Haigeng Park to see the seagulls. The park is very large, encompassing the folk customs of all the ethnic minorities in Yunnan. The prices are not very affordable, and overall, it's not comparable to other attractions.

Daocheng Yading truly lives up to its name as a "paradise for the eyes"! The three sacred mountains stand tall and imposing, while Milk Lake and Five-Color Lake resemble scattered jewels, their crystal-clear waters reflecting the snow-capped peaks and clouds. The Luorong Pasture is lush and green, and the prayer flags of Chonggu Temple flutter gently in the breeze, creating a serene atmosphere. The hike was a bit tiring, but every step led to breathtaking scenery, the pristine landscape cleansing the soul. The scenic area is well-managed, the experience is superb, and this is a must-visit snow-covered paradise!
There's a place called Daocheng, you absolutely must go there with your loved one! Hahaha, the altitude fluctuates wildly, so be sure to prepare well to avoid altitude sickness. Altitude sickness causes a throbbing headache and is very uncomfortable, which will definitely affect your enjoyment of the scenery. If you can, you should definitely try the Vajra Line (a scenic route), and Milk Lake and Five-Color Lake are definitely worth seeing!

This is an amazing paradise! Even before entering Lugu Lake, the entrance to the scenic area on the mountaintop is breathtakingly beautiful. There are even more stunning views to discover as you circle the lake. I love this place so much and wish I could stay longer.
From a high vantage point, Lugu Lake appears remarkably calm. In winter mornings, the lake is shrouded in mist. A stroll around the lake reveals numerous viewpoints and lakeside guesthouses, making it ideal for a leisurely day trip.

This place boasts beautiful natural scenery and is very friendly to mushroom lovers. You can see small mushrooms of all kinds along the way, stopping frequently to explore. The shuttle bus arrived quickly, making the trip very efficient. It would be even more beautiful on a sunny day. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
Returning to the first national park on the mainland after 18 years, I happened to be there today and it snowed, so I did a snow hike, which was quite enjoyable overall. However, the shuttle buses in the park sometimes require waiting, which I hope can be improved.

It's definitely worth a visit. For individual travelers, I recommend buying a package ticket that includes the entrance fee and a round-trip tram ticket, just like I did. Enter from the main gate and tell the staff on your right that you bought a round-trip ticket. They'll let you rest for a bit while the guide, Jin Hua, arrives, and you can follow her directions. Of course, you can explore on your own if you don't want a guided tour; the whole place is lovely! However, I still recommend listening to the guided tour, and I hope everyone will respect local beliefs and customs.
Chongsheng Three Pagodas, the only 5A scenic spot in Dali, is well worth a visit. There are free guided tours, and the electric shuttle bus service is not tiring. The cultural and creative products in the shop at the entrance are also very beautiful, and you can also get a stamp.

Tengchong is a well-known ancient town with a morning market and bars in the evening. It boasts ancient trees on the mountain and wetlands at its foot. The ticket allows entry for 7 days, so you can easily spend several days there if you have the time.
It's definitely worth a visit, perfect for a slow-paced lifestyle. Stay in the ancient town and enjoy the leisurely pace of life. The sunset at the Shushu Bookstore is incredibly photogenic, and the reflections on the river in the morning are breathtaking. The Ancient Guanyin Forest offers a vast expanse of natural scenery, but I didn't upload any photos because there were people in the pictures. Heshun Ancient Town is the kind of place you'd want to visit again even after just one visit.
