Fuxian Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Small Island Quick boat ride to this small island on the side of Fuxian Lake. People says that this island is visited by famous people way back the Ming Dynasty and called it a fairyland. The boat man even told us we can drink the water on the lake as it’s good to drink. #urbanexplorer #yuanshanping #lijiang #yunnan #china #explorewithtony #naturelover #adventure #life #photographersdayoff #leaveyourmark

Please take my advice! Don't go with the crowd during Qingming and May Day

🤔Recently, many fans have DM'd me asking where is suitable to take kids during Qingming or May Day? It's really hard to answer this question😂, after all, you have to consider factors like place of residence, age of the children, number of travelers, family budget, etc! 🚫But! There is a basic principle I want to tell everyone: during holidays like Qingming and May Day, don't go to the popular cities on the travel rankings!🚫 ✅If you want to have fun, travel during the holidays should be all about reverse travel!🚗 💡Let me recommend a few niche cities we've visited during holidays, with fewer people, beautiful scenery, and especially family-friendly!👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 1️⃣ Anji 🐼 A hidden gem in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai! Anji is really a paradise for family trips! You can watch giant pandas eat bamboo up close, super cute! Visit the 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' filming location, the Great Bamboo Sea, to experience the glass bridge and the slide car, thrilling and fun! Hello Kitty theme park, a dream world for the kids! 2️⃣ Fuxian Lake 🌊 A private scenic spot treasured by people from Yunnan! When Dali and Lijiang are overcrowded, this place offers tranquility. The lake is as magnificent as the sea, and the sailing experience is awesome! The man-made beach is fine, soft, and clean, perfect for kids to play in the sand! There's also the beautiful Hilton hotel and the Jacaranda town waiting for you to explore! 3️⃣ Huizhou 🏖️ Shenzhen people's backyard, a niche coastal city waiting for you to discover! Digging in the sand at the beach, climbing mountains, soaking in hot springs, citywalk is also great! Shuangyue Bay, Sea Turtle Bay, and other sea play sanctuaries, Luofu Mountain oxygen bar, and delicious food waiting for you to taste! 👏I have personally visited these three cities during holidays, absolutely no regrets!👏

I thought Erhai Lake was already beautiful, until I went here

I thought Erhai Lake was already beautiful, until I went here. I've visited Erhai Lake countless times, thinking it was beautiful enough, but unexpectedly, when I went to , I was amazed by the third largest lake in Yunnan❗ Clearer than Erhai Lake, it is a stunning lake in Yunnan that you can't miss. This one-day lake tour guide is worth bookmarking. About🚗 transportation & 🏠 accommodation: It belongs to Yuxi City, Yunnan, but it's closer from Kunming. I recommend taking the high-speed train directly to 'Kunming South Station', then take a taxi to , it's only a 40min drive on the expressway. I suggest staying in the small town at night, where there are super many hotels and homestays🏠, as well as a lively starlight night market, where you can enjoy delicious snacks to your heart's content. 🗺️ Recommended one-day lake tour route: Upon arrival at , my friends and I had already booked a car in advance. 🚗 Driving around the lake is about 100 kilometers, and it only costs 300💰 for a day during the National Day peak season. If you can drive, I highly recommend renting a car🚗 for a self-driving tour, so you can stop anytime you see beautiful scenery. 🎫 Ticket: Free There is a large area of pink rocks here, which looks more like a pink🏖️ beach from above, very unique. 🍱 Food recommendation: You must try the stone pot fish🐟 in Guanglong Town at least once. 🐟 The fish is bred in the lake water drawn from Xian Lake, super fresh. You can choose any restaurant. After visiting , my feeling is that playing once is simply not enough❗ 🌞 The weather is so beautiful, I want to go again, to different corners of the lake, to experience the unique beauty.

The beauty of Fuxian Lake is inseparable from the clear lake water of Fuxian Lake. As early as the end of the Ming Dynasty, the traveler Xu Xiake in his "Xu Xiake Travel Notes" has "the only mountain in the mountains, so many flows into the sea, and the flow is more Turbid, but Fuxian Lake is the clearest." Fuxian Lake, the lake crystal clear and crystal clear, the ancients called "glazed million", located in Yujiang City, Chengjiang County, Jiangchuan District, Huaning County, Hubei, 52 kilometers from Kunming, is the province's important leisure, tourism , holiday destination. Fuxian Lake is China's largest water storage lake, the largest plateau deep water lake, and the second deep freshwater lake. Since Li Jian wrote Fuxian Lake into the song, Fuxian Lake has become a place of literary youth.

Fuxian Lake in Yuxi

The Fuxian Lake in the southwest of Yunnan may not be as well-known as Lugu Lake and Erhai Lake, but its scenery is not inferior to the former. I went to Kunming from Xishuangbanna, specifically stayed at Fuxian Lake for a few days, and took some photos in scenic spots such as Lu Chong Moon Bay and Cherry Valley as travel souvenirs.

The sun is shining brightly on the warm Fuxian Lake

Driving along the east road of the lake, we arrived at the southern edge of Fuxian Lake. Turning a bay, a magnificent and calm lake surface appeared before our eyes. Different from other lakeside scenic spots, there is a large expanse of grassland on the shore. The reeds and well-arranged plant groups on the grassland form a unique lakeside scenery. This is Longhu Starry Sky International Resort. Since it's called Starry Sky International Resort, the main selling point is naturally the infinitely spectacular galaxy and the bright lake surface under the moonlight. But we arrived in the afternoon, naturally missing this magnificent view. However, the design style of the entire resort is eye-catching. On one side, there are mountains, lakes, grasslands, paddy fields, trees, and sunflowers. On the other side, there are windmills, tents, slides, swings, food, and craft beer. Imagine, in the starry night, young people are enjoying themselves in the music and bonfire, enjoying another home built in nature. This place is like the Fuxian Lake version of Aranya, for a group of young people with the same lifestyle, values, and interests. A lakeside, a starry sky, a natural grassland, a cup of coffee, a bottle of craft beer, a pair of lovers, a period of time.

Yunnan's deep lake, second only to Lugu Lake

China's County-level City Tourism Rankings 71: Chengjiang City, Yuxi, Yunnan Province Chengjiang City, a county-level city directly governed by Yunnan Province and managed by Yuxi City, has a history of nearly two thousand years and is historically known for its reputation 'The literary style does not concede to the Central Plains, and the folk customs remain as ancient and pure.' Fuxian Lake within its territory is the second deepest inland freshwater lake in China. Notable figures include the famous Three Kingdoms general Li Hui, who was the first person from Yunnan to be recorded in the national history. Chengjiang has been selected as China (Yunnan)'s Most Investment-worthy Cultural Tourism County, China's Famous Summer Resort County of 2020, and one of the Top 100 Counties with Tourism Development Potential in 2021. Chengjiang's tourism resources are not abundant, mainly concentrated around Fuxian Lake and the Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum, but both are national-level tourism resources. Just based on these two alone, it's worth 50 points, ranking 10th among the 71 counties and cities that have appeared so far, and should even be stronger than the well-known tourist county of Wuyuan (49 points). If we were to classify the tourism resources of nearly 3000 counties and cities in China into super first-class, first-class, second-class, third-class, and non-class, then Chengjiang should be ranked as second-class, that is, within the top 200 of national tourism resources. Let's specifically assess these two tourism resources. 1: Fuxian Lake: 4A scenic area, recommendation index: 5 stars, travel time: 2 days and 1 night Although it is only 4A, it definitely has the resources of a 5A scenic area. Even within China, it is a first-class lake. Fuxian Lake is divided into the east and west lines, and even if you drive yourself, it would take two days to visit all the attractions. Additionally, Fuxian Lake is easily accessible, very backpacker-friendly, with direct bus routes to both lines. In terms of natural scenery, it absolutely surpasses the West Lake, which is praised by all literati. It can only be said that Fuxian Lake is underestimated. Among the many attractions of Fuxian Lake, the Sunshine Coast on the east line, the Luchong Scenic Area, the Red Sand Beach, and on the west line, the Moon Bay Wetland Park, and the Beach Park (also known as the Sailing Base) are must-visits. Others can be chosen based on the length of the trip. Fuxian Lake is a place where even a special forces-style tour would need 2 days and 1 night, and a slow tour of a week would not be too much. 2: Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum: 4A scenic area, free admission, recommendation index: 5A, suggested time: half a day (over 3 hours) This is another national-level tourism resource bestowed by the heavens after Fuxian Lake. It has won the World Natural Heritage Museum and the 'Top Ten Museum Exhibition Excellence Awards' in 2021, hailed as 'one of the rarest finds in the history of modern paleontology research,' 'one of the 20 most astonishing discoveries in the world,' and the 'golden key to revealing the mystery of the Cambrian 'explosion of life'.' A trip to Chengjiang would be in vain without visiting Fuxian Lake and this museum. Overall, although Chengjiang is not well-known nationally, its tourism resources are completely underestimated. Although it is difficult to rank among the top 100 counties for tourism resources, it can definitely rank between 100 to 200, which is an existence that can defeat 95% of the counties and cities in China. It is also a must-visit place when traveling to Yunnan. Don't just focus on Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna, and Tengchong when traveling to Yunnan; include Chengjiang in your Yunnan travel plan.

Taking vertebrates as an example, in the Chengjiang Fossil Museum, you can find one of the oldest vertebrates: a small fish "Kunming fish" about 3 cm long, this fossil is also known as the treasure of the town hall. ❤Recommended reason: It's not an exaggeration to say: Chengjiang Fossil Site Natural Museum is a seriously underestimated place, if it weren't for a friend's suggestion, I really wouldn't think of going! Before I came, I thought this place was more suitable for bringing children to play, but after I came, I was really amazed, those tens of thousands of years ago biological fossils are just in front of my eyes! 👍Most recommended: In the long river of time, what do those small setbacks we encounter in life count? This is probably the precious significance of going to a billion-year appointment!
