National Key Cultural Building - Shiping Confucius Temple

The Confucius Temple is the core of Shiping Ancient City. Although it is not as spectacular as the Confucius Temple in Qufu and as grand as the Confucius Temple in Jianshui, its architectural system is complete. Small and exquisite, more grounded! There are often many local elderly people playing cards and chess in the Confucius Temple, which is very human! The pair of stone lions under the Lingxing Gate is a unique feature. There is a groove cut on the back for unknown reasons. But this adds a lot of astonishment to this pair of lions!!

Shiping Old Street

Shípíng (石屏) is an ancient town in the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southeastern Yunnan, about 240 km (150 miles) from Kunming, the provincial capital. The stone-paved streets are really pretty, and the local tofu with all kinds of mushrooms is delicious (though some of the wild mushrooms can be poisonous, so you have to be careful!). I stayed in a guesthouse that was built in a 300-year-old traditional house—it was such a cozy place to relax. The courtyard there was especially nice, perfect for sitting down with a cup of tea.

Shiping Yilonghu National Wetland Park

Yilong Lake (异龙湖) in 石屏 is a beautiful spot where you could easily spend the whole day strolling around. It’s a large freshwater lake in Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan, with a surface area of about 32 square kilometers (12 sq mi). The scenery is stunning, especially when the colorful lotus flowers are in bloom. The lake reflects the blue sky like a giant mirror, creating a calm and peaceful vibe. It’s also a great place to hit your 10,000 steps on your tracker, and the sunsets are really pretty. It’s definitely worth visiting twice—once in the morning and again in the evening (but best to skip noon time).
