Must-Visit Spots in Qujing This Golden Autumn

| Encounter the Most Beautiful Autumn at the Source of the Pearl River🍂 Hello everyone! Today, let's explore a lesser-known but incredibly beautiful place in Yunnan—Qujing! As the first city at the source of the Pearl River, Qujing boasts both rich historical heritage and enchanting natural scenery. Visiting in autumn, the entire city is adorned with golden ginkgo trees, making every photo a masterpiece~ 📸 Must-Visit Attractions 📍 Pearl River Source Scenic Area This is the origin of the Pearl River, where you can trace upstream to see which small streams eventually merge into the mighty Pearl River. The scenic area is lush and green, with mountain boardwalks perfect for hiking and relaxing. The air feels as if it has been purified! 📍 Jiulong Waterfall Group Qujing’s Jiulong Waterfalls are known as "one of the most beautiful waterfall groups in China." Water rushes down from the mountains, forming rainbows under the sunlight. Standing on the viewing platform, listening to the roaring water, you’ll be deeply moved by the grandeur of nature! 🍜 Recommended Local Delicacies ✔️ Zhanyi Spicy Chicken This signature dish of Qujing will definitely ignite your taste buds! The chicken is crispy on the outside and tender inside, coated with a layer of fragrant and spicy chili powder. It’s spicy yet aromatic, savory yet fresh—irresistible~ ✔️ Qujing Steamed Ersi Ersi is a special snack from Yunnan. Qujing’s version steams ersi with various ingredients, resulting in a soft and glutinous texture. Paired with a special sauce, it offers a unique flavor! 🌸 Travel Tips 1️⃣ Best Season: Autumn is the most beautiful season in Qujing. The ginkgo leaves turn yellow, and the weather is cool—perfect for traveling. 2️⃣ Transportation: Qujing city has convenient transportation. You can choose to charter a car or take the bus between attractions. From Kunming, it only takes 1 hour by high-speed train—super convenient! 3️⃣ Photography: Jiulong Waterfalls and the Pearl River Source are perfect spots for photos. Remember to bring your camera and wear bright-colored clothes~ This trip to Qujing made me deeply fall in love with this low-key city, which combines the gentleness of the south with the grandeur of the north. If you want a unique and relaxing trip, Qujing is definitely worth adding to your list!
