1.5 Hours from Kunming｜Been There, Done That!!

📍 Basic Info Navigation: Depart from downtown Kunming, search "Xundian Fenglong Mountain" or "Xundian Pasture" on maps. Drive takes about 1.5-2 hours. Altitude: 2816m (Xundian’s second-highest peak! Summit offers panoramic views of rolling mountains.) Seasonal Highlights: April-May: Alpine rhododendrons (azaleas) in full bloom! Hills blaze red like fire, with petals carpeting the ground after rain—a natural oil painting. June-Aug: Lush greenery! Meadows resemble soft carpets dotted with yellow flowers, straight out of a classic Windows wallpaper. Hiking Difficulty: ⭐⭐ (Beginner-friendly) Distance: ~8-10km loop Elevation Gain: 400m (~4-5 hours total, including photo breaks) 📸 Must-Capture Scenes 1️⃣ Highland Pasture "Comic Vibe" - Rolling green slopes like matcha cake, with black-faced sheep 🐑 and cattle roaming freely—straight from *Heidi* movie scenes. - Best shot: Before 8 AM, when morning mist blends with sunlight for a serene "wind-swept grassland" vibe. 2️⃣ Rhododendron Sea (Limited-Time Beauty) - Wild azalea trees with fist-sized blooms line the ridges. Post-rain petals on moss create striking red-green contrasts. - Pro tip: Shoot low-angle flower paths or pose under trees with your back turned for max atmosphere. 3️⃣ Summit Cloud Spectacle ☁️ - At the peak, howling winds meet churning clouds below, with distant villages like toy models—boulder piles are perfect for "solitude" shots! ⚠ Practical Tips Essentials: - Trekking poles + grippy shoes (gravelly descents get slippery, especially when wet). - Windproof jacket (summit winds are strong; temps ~15°C even in June). - Sun protection trio (sunglasses/hat/arm sleeves—UV rays are intense!).
