Yuanmou: 1.5 hours from Kunming by high-speed rail, a forgotten secret place.

Yuanmou Earth Forest, with its diverse shapes, has red mountains with rough and magnificent lines, which contrast with the clear Jinsha River. The collision of blue-green and orange-red colors creates a strong visual impact. Compared to Dali and Lijiang, there is not much publicity here, only some foreigners living here in the warm winter, and few tourists, which is especially suitable for avoiding traffic jams during various holidays. Guide: Day 1: Yuanmou ➠ Leiding Village ➠ Langbapu Earth Forest Day 2: Yuanmou Man Museum ➠ Jiangbian Township (Ferry, Red Army Long March Memorial Hall) Day 3: Yuanmou ➠ Waipula Ancient Village ➠ Yongren ➠ Yuanmou Recommended features: 1. Langbapu Earth Forest: The earth forest is a natural wonder formed by billions of years of wind and rain erosion. Yuanmou Earth Forest is the largest earth forest in China, and among the two major scenic spots, Langbapu Earth Forest is larger in scale and has fewer tourists. The earth pillars are towering and have a strong visual impact, just like on an exotic planet. The light and shadow effect is better in the afternoon. Ticket: 50 . 2. Yuanmou Man Museum: The site of the discovery of Yuanmou Man, with thousands of ancient fossils on display Ticket: None · 3. Leiding Village: There are hundreds of thick tamarind trees over 100 years old in the village, and a 1,600-year-old tamarind tree king. The village is full of fireworks Ticket: None . 4. Jiangbian Township: A beautiful village on the banks of the Jinsha River, with a beach and a Red Army Long March Memorial Hall Ticket: None 5. Waipula Ancient Village: An ancient Yi village in the deep mountains, belonging to Yongren, but very close to Yuanmou. The entire ancient village is arranged along the cliffs, with hundreds of houses scattered in an orderly manner, and the unique red earth exterior walls add a special flavor Ticket: None
