I discovered an obscure island in Yunnan, and everyone thought I was in Egypt

Upon arriving at this island, it's like being in the ancient golden deserts of Egypt. Pyramid-like hills stand guard over the lake in silence, with the sun's rays casting dancing golden specks on the hills, and golden light and shadows flowing over the lake's surface. From a distance, there's an illusion that this place could be Egypt, Southern California, or even Cappadocia in Turkey~ Right beside the sand dunes lies a lake of emerald green, with water so blue it turns green, like an emerald set in the desert, out of place yet mysteriously enchanting; Tropical plants grow in abundance around the lake. Sitting by the lake, you can see cacti standing proudly in the desert across the shore, a gentle breeze causing ripples on the water, and every color in front of you seems to be meticulously painted. This is Buddha's Reflection Lotus Island, just over an hour's drive from Kunming, a little-known secret spot even to many locals. Surrounding Buddha's Reflection Lotus Island, the entire park is filled with green plants and fresh flowers, where you can camp, picnic, cycle, hike, or just relax and enjoy the breeze. Location: Buddha's Reflection Lotus Island Address: Wulong Lake City Park, Jianshui County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province Mobile phones can capture the delicacy and vividness before your eyes, while an aerial view reveals different colors and a sense of space, redefining all the ordinary scenery before you. Travel tips: 1. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the entrance to Lotus Island, with various green plants and flowers along the way. 2. Be careful when playing on the beach. 3. Buddha's Reflection Lotus Island is part of Wulong Lake City Park, which is large and includes an amusement park and many places for leisure and relaxation. 4. There are many attractions nearby, such as the Ant Workshop, Jianshui Ancient Town, Zhu Family Garden, and Swallow Cave. Admission: Free Opening hours: All day Transportation: Self-driving, just navigate directly, there is a large open-air parking lot at the entrance, with plenty of parking spaces
