Yuxi Tianfang Village might just be the Shangri-La you are looking for

It's a great place to visit over the weekend, a quaint village with wisps of cooking smoke. You can take a walk around the reservoir, which normally takes over half an hour on foot, and it's perfect for both mountain climbing and flower viewing. The area around the reservoir is surrounded by early winter cherry blossoms, with mountains, water, and flowers. With a drone, you can capture cinematic shots. The rapeseed flowers by the reservoir are in full bloom, so hurry over. The village is sparsely populated, so bring some food and enjoy basking in the sun by the reservoir for a morning. No admission fee: Navigate to Tianfang Village, which is about 4 kilometers away from the city center Yuxi, Yunnan
