Underrated niche travel destination! It's really a bargain

Who hasn't gone to Puzhehei yet? As the filming location of "Three Lives Three Worlds", Pu Zhehei is so beautiful that it looks like a real-life version of the fairy world. It's really too good to take pictures! I've compiled this super complete strategy to help you easily play around with the black! Must-visit attractions 🌄 Sunrise Observation Deck at Qinglong Mountain ⏰ Best viewing time: Depart at 5:30, arrive at the top of the mountain around 6 o'clock just in time to catch the beautiful sunrise The whole journey takes about 20 minutes. After climbing to the top of the mountain, the panoramic view of Puzhehei is unreservedly displayed in front of you. More than 300 lonely peaks are gently wrapped in golden morning mist, as if you have stepped into the anime world of Hayao Miyazaki. The writing tower halfway up the mountain is a hidden treasure trove of film production. The backlight shadow silhouette is super atmospheric. Wearing Yi silver jewelry, a casual shot is an ethnic-style blockbuster. 🚣‍♀️ Common Black Lake Willow Leaf Boat ⏰Operation Hours: 8:30 - 17:30 (Lotus Season extended to 19:00) Tickets are $170/person, which is a bit expensive, but definitely worth it! It's so fun to ride a canoe through the 10,000 acres of lotus ponds and have a hearty water fight with tourists from all over the world! When the lotus flowers are in full bloom in July - August, the full-eyed lotus intertwined with the green lotus leaves is so beautiful that you can't say enough. Remember to bring a waterproof bag and quick-drying clothes, or you will be “wet body attacked”. 🏡Xianrendong Yi Cultural Village Inside the cave, the thousand-year-old stalactites show off the uncanny workmanship of nature in the light of lights. In the evening, the enthusiastic bonfire night will start on time, and everyone will dance their left foot together and feel the enthusiasm of the Yi people. Rent a set of Yi costumes for $30. The blue and white color scheme and cave warm light are a perfect match. The film production rate is 100%! 🦢 Swan Lake Wetland Park ⏰ Viewing time: Best in winter Flocks of swans roam freely on the lake, and the screen is super healing. Buy a pack of corn for $5 in the feeding area and interact with these cute little guys up close. Capture the moments when they spread their wings with a telephoto lens, and each one is a wallpaper-level blockbuster. However, after April the swans will migrate, and it is not recommended to come at this time. Food Recommendations and Lightning Protection Must-eat delicacies - Lotus Banquet: I highly recommend "Yi Town Restaurant"! Lotus leaf wrapped chicken, fried lotus, lotus seed congee, each dish is full of the fragrance of lotus, about 60 dollars per person, super good value for money. - Sour soup fish hot pot: Wild catfish with wood ginger seeds, the soup is sour and spicy, dipped in tofu is even more icing. Visit the "Pu Zhe Hei Village Grand Canteen" and enjoy authentic delicious food with the locals. - Night market snacks: $5 a portion of wrapped tofu, dipped in single mountain dipping water, bite down, crispy outside and tender inside; Lightning protection dishes - The "wild mushroom hot pot" at the entrance of the scenic spot: mostly frozen goods in the non-rainy season, the taste and freshness are far from the seasonal season, the price is not cheap, do not do water fish. - Crossing the bridge rice noodles: average price of 68 dollars, the taste is still not authentic, there is really no need to try. Accommodation options 💤 Value for money: Three Cat Inn 80+ per person can stay in a room with a lake view balcony, sleep on the bed and enjoy the lake and mountains of Puzhehei. The owner is super enthusiastic and may even take you to pick lotus flowers and experience a different kind of fun. 🌿Celebrity B&B: Hidden B&B Push open the window and you can see Mount Tsing Lung. The top terrace is the perfect place to take pictures of the stars. However, you must book 1 month in advance during peak season.
