Shilin Secret Realm | Suoyi Mountain Ximatang is as beautiful as a flowing landscape painting

Shilin Secret Realm | Suoyi Mountain Ximatang is as beautiful as a flowing landscape painting Shilin Suoyi Mountain Ximatang is located in Suoyi Mountain, Changhu Town, Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan. It is a seasonal water karst landscape. Due to abundant rainfall in Kunming this year, the water depth in Ximatang has increased, forming a large area of water karst landscape, presenting a unique scenery of "peaks emerging from the water, water flowing around the peaks." Karst stones stand above the water surface, reflecting with the lake water, resembling a flowing landscape painting. Address: Shilin Suoyi Mountain Transportation: Self-driving (about two hours from Kunming) Special notes: ① This is a wild scenic area, please pay attention to safety when visiting. ② As a karst landform, the stones are sharp and unstable after weathering, so be careful when taking photos and checking in. ③ Protect the environment, do not litter.
