It takes about 3 hours to get to Da Hai Grass Mountain from Kunming, and the scenery along the way is also very beautiful. Address: Da Hai Grass Mountain, Huize County, Qujing City, Yunnan Province. Transportation: After landing in Kunming by plane, I recommend driving or chartering to Da Hai Grass Mountain (We chartered a guide to go there, the guide was very good, introducing us at any time, arranging us to check in, if your driving skills are not good, do not drive, the road is hard to drive). Clothing Suggestions: It's very cold on the mountain, it's recommended to bring a windproof jacket, it will be better when the sun comes out, if you don't bring a jacket, you can rent one at the entrance of the scenic spot. Check-in Spots: Spot One: Internet celebrity check-in spot, Spot Two: Mongolian yurts and streams (These two places are must-check-in, but the mountain is really beautiful, it's easy to take good photos, there are also many sheep). Food: There are lamb skewers for sale on the mountain, very fresh, 3 yuan a skewer, roasted sweet potatoes are also delicious, if you don't like beef and mutton, you can bring some food. Accommodation: We went there and back on the same day, there is accommodation on the mountain, but it's super cold at night on the mountain, if you stay, be sure to prepare clothes, it's recommended to go there and back on the same day. This place is very niche, it's indeed inconvenient to go there, but it's really healing, take action during the National Day, if you don't go, the grass on the grass mountain will turn yellow.

#freemuseumdays Situated in Huize County, Yunnan Province, this museum specializes in showcasing artifacts from the Han Dynasty (206 BCE–220 CE). Its collection of 52 cultural relics, including pottery, bronze ware, and burial objects, offers insights into the burial customs and socio-cultural dynamics of ancient Dian Kingdom's northeastern region. Exhibition Highlights The museum's core exhibition features reconstructed tomb structures and grave goods, emphasizing the fusion of Han Chinese and local Dian cultures. Notable items include intricately designed bronze drums and jade ornaments, reflecting trade exchanges along the ancient Southern Silk Road. Educational Value Interactive displays and bilingual panels (Chinese/English) contextualize archaeological findings, explaining their historical significance. Temporary exhibitions occasionally feature collaborative projects with other Chinese institutions, such as the Yunnan Provincial Museum. Visitor Information Hours: Open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00–17:00 (last entry at 16:30). Closed Mondays except public holidays. Admission: General entry costs approximately ¥30. Free admission days align with national cultural events like International Museum Day (May 18) and China Tourism Day (May 19), though policies may vary annually. Discounts apply to students, seniors, and groups. Accessibility: Wheelchair ramps and guided tours for visually impaired visitors are available. Comparative Context Unlike the large-scale Hunan Museum (with its famed Mawangdui Han Tomb exhibits), Huize focuses on regional history. Its intimate scale allows for detailed study of lesser-known Dian-Han interactions, complementing broader narratives at national-level museums. Local Engagement The museum collaborates with Huize schools to offer heritage workshops, such as artifact replication activities. Annual symposiums invite scholars to discuss new archaeological discoveries in Yunnan’s Han-era sites.

In Huize, there lies a magical land known as Dahuicao Mountain. Today, as I stepped into this enchanting place, I was deeply captivated by its beauty. Upon entering the grassland, undulating hills stretched out before me. Despite the overcast sky, its grandeur remained undiminished. A distant lake, like a piece of jade, nestled quietly in the valley, serene and profound. A few sheep leisurely grazed on the grass, adding a touch of liveliness and charm to the vast expanse. Following the winding path, fences along the roadside seemed to guard this pristine land. Occasionally, unique structures like meadow pyramids appeared, standing out with their distinctive style. Wind turbines perched atop the peaks turned gently in the breeze, as if narrating the tales of the grassland. The coolness of the grassland, due to its altitude, was palpable under the cloudy sky. Thankfully, I had brought a jacket. Taking a deep breath, the fresh air instantly invigorated my lungs, sweeping away all worries and leaving me feeling utterly refreshed. As I moved forward, the scenery constantly shifted. Sometimes it was expansive meadows where horses roamed freely; other times, it was terraced fields, not yet in harvest season but evoking visions of golden abundance. Occasionally, rays of light pierced through the clouds, illuminating the hills and grasslands, creating a play of light and shadow that made the grassland even more mysterious and alluring. By evening, the sky grew increasingly vibrant, with clouds tinged in soft hues of orange and yellow. Together with the distant wind turbines and hills, they formed a breathtaking tableau. Dahuicao Mountain is a gift of nature, a sanctuary for the soul. Here, time seems to slow down, allowing one to immerse in the boundless beauty, forget the clamor of the world, and simply savor the tranquility and splendor of the moment.

Huize Guizhou Guild Hall: A Place Where Ancient Charm Lingers and Culture is Inherited In Huize, a famous national historical and cultural city in Yunnan, numerous ancient buildings are scattered like shining stars, and the Guizhou Guild Hall is undoubtedly one of the most uniquely charming. The Huize Guizhou Guild Hall, also known as the Chu-Qian Guild Hall, the Zhonglie Temple, and colloquially known as the Black God Temple, is located at No. 1 Jiyun Street, East Section, Zhongping Street, Jinzhong Town, Huize County. It was first built during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, but construction was halted due to land disputes. After many twists and turns, it was finally completed in the 17th year of Jiaqing (1812). This bumpy construction process seems to tell the story of the changing times in the past, and adds a touch of mysterious historical color to it. In terms of architectural style, the Guizhou Guild Hall faces north and covers an area of 5,442.2 square meters, with a building area of 2,164.8 square meters. It is laid out along the central axis in a step-like pattern, gradually rising in height. It is built with a stone archway, a front gate tower behind the stage, a front courtyard pavilion, a vestibule, a front hall, a middle hall, a rear hall, and study rooms on both sides. It adopts a mixed wood structure of through-bucket and beam-lifting, and is built in the form of a single-eave hip roof and a hard gable roof, which is a two-entry courtyard complex. Its exquisite craftsmanship and delicate carvings demonstrate the vicissitudes of history. Every flying eave, every bracket, and every carved brick embodies the wisdom and hard work of ancient craftsmen, making people marvel at the architectural skills of the time. Walking into the Guizhou Guild Hall is like stepping into a corridor of time. In the past, it was a gathering place for merchants from Guizhou and Hubei provinces, where they exchanged trade information and contacted fellow villagers. In the course of the prosperous copper commerce culture in Huize, the Guizhou Guild Hall played an important role and is an important physical testimony to the highly developed copper commerce culture in Huize. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was also used as a teaching place for the Mining and Metallurgy Department of the Southwest Associated University. From 1944 to 1949, the private Chu-Qian Middle School was founded here. It also became a secret activity place and command center for the Huize underground party of the Communist Party of China, carrying heavy historical memories. Today, with the development of the times, Huize County adheres to the principle of "giving priority to protection, revitalizing utilization, inheriting culture, and promoting development," and has carefully repaired and revitalized the Guizhou Guild Hall. The historical buildings, walls, and pillars have been restored to their original appearance, and a cultural exchange hall has been established to promote traditional Chinese culture through physical objects, pictures, and documents. The stage in the hall has also been fully utilized, introducing related formats such as tea ceremony, artistic performances, and Qin art performances. Theatrical performances, intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, calligraphy and painting photography, and artistic performances are wonderful. Whenever an event is held, the guild hall is bustling with activity, and tourists either gather around the stove to make tea or enjoy the performances, immersing themselves in the atmosphere of traditional art and feeling the unique charm of traditional culture. Not only that, the Guizhou Guild Hall also actively leverages its own resource advantages to carry out traditional culture training, contributing to the promotion of traditional culture in schools. Traditional culture courses such as Guqin, tea art, incense ceremony, and flower arrangement are offered in Dongfeng Primary School, Gongnong Primary School, Jin No. 1 Middle School, and Vocational Middle School, so that more young people have the opportunity to come into contact with and understand outstanding traditional Chinese culture, and sow the seeds of cultural inheritance in their hearts. The Huize Guizhou Guild Hall is a witness of history and a carrier of culture. It has experienced wind and rain in the long river of time, but has always adhered to its mission. Today, under the sunshine of the new era, it has been revitalized with a new look, attracting tourists from all over the world to explore the traces of history and feel the broad and profound traditional culture. It is like a pearl inlaid in the ancient city of Huize, shining in the passage of time, telling the world the stories of the past and looking forward to a better future.

Hidden within the Yulu Grand Canyon in Huize, Qujing, Yunnan, lies a real-life "Museum of the Earth's Core." Just a 3-hour drive from Kunming, you can immerse yourself in this geological wonderland. For a mere 35 yuan, embark on a day-long journey of geological discovery. This is a site of raw, unfiltered beauty, showcasing the Earth's scars. As you walk along the bronze-colored rock walls, observe moss-covered water droplets, formed over eons, slowly trickling down. At its narrowest point, the canyon measures a mere 3 meters wide. Looking up, you'll only glimpse slivers of sky fragmented by vines. Deep within the rock layers, a subterranean river roars, its currents carving fierce patterns into the stone walls. During the rainy season, from June to August, you might encounter hidden waterfalls. In the dry season, the water erosion marks on the rock face reveal a profound sense of history. Beyond the awe-inspiring canyon, there are other delightful surprises. Herds of deer roam freely within the scenic area. For 8 yuan, purchase carrots to feed and take photos with these charming creatures. If you prefer, they'll happily munch on grass picked from the ground. Halfway up the mountain, a picturesque ancient village awaits, with white walls and gray tiles scattered amongst the landscape. Find a homestay and enjoy the mountain views from your window. The scenic area also offers glass and dry slides (for an additional fee), but for a truly immersive experience, exploring the canyon on foot is the best choice. Here's a comprehensive, year-round guide: 1. Wear non-slip shoes! The walkways are covered in moss and often damp, making them slippery. 2. The canyon maintains a constant temperature of 17°C, making it an ideal escape from summer heat or winter chill. 3. Bring plenty of food, as there are no shops once you descend into the canyon. 4. Recommended itinerary: Start your day by feeding the deer, followed by a 2–3-hour hike through the canyon. Afterward, head to Huize County for a bowl of delicious Yangba Bowl (mutton stew). As your fingers trace the rippling fault lines on the rock walls, you'll suddenly grasp the meaning of "mountains and rivers as the pen, time as the ink." In this three-dimensional history book carved by time, even the wind whispers in the ancient dialect of the Earth. 📍Location: Huize Yulu Grand Canyon Scenic Area. Come and explore!

We set off before the morning mist had dissipated, with a backpack filled with mineral water and anticipation for the unknown. The mountain road of Huize Old Factory is like rice paper crumpled by time, and the wrinkles contain the sounds of countless lives growing. Ten kilometers is not a number, but the rhythm of the alternating soft carpet of pine needles and gravel road, and the whisper of beech trees brought by the wind passing by your ears. When the first ray of sunlight penetrated the primeval forest canopy and hit the river surface, the entire ditch suddenly came alive. Billions of years of geological movement have been paused here. The huge rocks look like sleeping elephants or scattered chess pieces on a chessboard, and moss has left mottled ink marks in the cracks of the rocks. Take off your hiking shoes and step into the shallows. The rough texture of the granite hurts your feet, like reading a wordless book engraved in stone. The river water rushed in, carrying the body temperature of the snow-capped mountains, forming thousands of silver chains in the Stonehenge. I leaned over to scoop up some water, and tiny bits of sunlight were flowing in the lines of my palm, so cool that it went straight to my heart. Those pebbles, polished into round shapes by the water, shimmer with a jade-like luster in the waves, like lost buttons of the earth. Occasionally, a dead branch would get stuck in the crevices of the rocks, and in the blink of an eye, it would be rolled into a swirling pen tip by the turbulent current, writing a fleeting cursive calligraphy on the surface of the river. The chirping of tits suddenly broke the silence. Looking up, I saw a few clusters of wild azaleas on the hundred-meter-high rock wall, spreading their rouge color into the clouds. I rested my backpack on the warm rocks, watched water striders draw concentric circles in the mirror-like bay, and vaguely heard the sound of quartzite layers slowly growing deep inside. On the way back, a sudden mountain rain came, and the raindrops stirred up thousands of transparent bells on the river surface. Those silent boulders looked even greener in the rain, like ancient spirits guarding a secret place. On the ten-kilometer journey back, my trouser legs were splashed with mud like a pass stamped with seals - in this dialogue with the mountains and rivers, the stones ultimately remembered my body temperature, and the flowing water took away my reflection. (Postscript: When the city is burning in your palm, there are always some mountains and rivers willing to be your cool patch. The river ditch of Huize Old Factory is not as meticulously crafted as the popular attractions on the Internet, but it has the most authentic texture of the earth. It is recommended to wear river trekking shoes to go there, and let the rocks and water tell you the manuscript of the creator.) Huize Yibo Hotel (Huize Ancient City Huize Park Branch)
