Dragon Boat Festival, Xishan Qianbu Rock

June 10, 2024, Dragon Boat Festival, Qianbuyan in Xishan Mountain My first time climbing Qianbuyan in Xishan, the stone steps were built in the 13th year of the Ming Dynasty's Chongzhen era. The steps lead down to Longmen, totaling 1007 steps. After the rain, the ancient stone path appears from a distance with a somewhat washed-out, weathered elegance. The stone steps are slippery, but the air on this ancient path after a summer rain is extremely fresh, with an abundance of greenery filling the view. I take deep breaths, and then another. From the starting point of Qianbuyan to the entrance of the Xishan Scenic Area, one can enjoy views of Dianchi Lake and Caohai along the way. Following the main road to the subway station takes a total of 2.5 hours. I think it was a great experience I had in China during the Dragon Boat Festival. It’s amazing to understand the local culture and customs. I personally highly recommend you guys to attend this festival in the coming June if you have time and you are around in Kunming. Hiking and festival all together.
