A paradise not far from Kunming

Consider visiting Huize County in Yunnan during holidays when it's too crowded. Reasons for recommendation: 🚗 It's a little over two hours' drive from Kunming, unfortunately, there is no high-speed train. 🏩 Hotel prices only rise from the original 270 to 350 during holidays. 🏯 Huize Ancient Town is much larger than expected, great for exploring, and there are many old buildings worth visiting in Huize County. 🥩 Huize is famous for its black goat meat, which is exactly why I came. In the city, someone recommended 'Yang Ba Wan'. I went to the Fatty Goat Restaurant, a down-to-earth place where I had a very satisfying meal. The local potatoes are also famous. Not far from the entrance of the Dashai Grass Mountain scenic area, there are some grilled mutton stalls with good quality meat; if you prefer a lighter taste, ask them to use less seasoning. There are also many mutton stalls inside the scenic area, but they might serve sheep instead. The black goat with skin I had outside the scenic area was pretty good. ⛰️ Nearby Dashai Grass Mountain, the ticket is 35, and the shuttle bus is 20, although there are only two stops inside, the high mountain meadows make you feel as if you've arrived at the Ili grasslands. The key is that you can see it all for only 55 yuan, which is a bargain. The altitude is 3650, so be aware of altitude sickness. ⛩️ Baiwu Village is a quiet and peaceful little village, and I was lucky enough to catch the sunset clouds. I really wanted to stay a few more days.
