Cables Caves Temples
Stunning view of the city when your riding the cable car! It’s defiantly a must when you travel to Kunming to get your best luck touching and asking for wishes at the Kunming dragon gate! it’s very historical site where Buddhist caves are carved and paths in this mountain. The place is kinda tiring to walk up but it’s a great experience and adding good memories. best not to wear slippers sharp rocks around.

Xishan
Xishan, also known as Biji Mountain or Taihua Mountain, faces Dian Lake to the east and is a famous scenic spot in Kunming. I have longed to visit it for a long time. Starting from Gaoyao Village, I walked up the mountain along the mountain path. After six or seven kilometers of walking and stopping, I paid homage to the stupa of Monk Xuyun, visited Huating Temple which was restored by Xuyun, ascended the ancient Taihua path, visited Taihua Temple, passed by Nie Er's tomb, and reached Longmen. Longmen is the essence of Xishan, and the scenery along the way is just a prelude. From the Datiange Pavilion, overlooking the five hundred li of Dian Lake, vast and boundless, I suddenly felt my mind broaden and all the dust and toil of life dissipate. (Travel notes from 4/2)

Use a photo to prove you've been to Kunming
Kunming, also known as the Spring City, is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province, the provincial capital, a mega-city, and the central city of the Central Yunnan City Cluster. It is one of the important central cities in the western region of China as approved by the State Council, and an important city for tourism and commerce in China. The city administers 7 districts, 3 counties, oversees 1 county-level city, and 3 autonomous counties, with a total area of 21,012.54 square kilometers and a permanent population of 8.6 million, with an urbanization rate of 81.1%. When traveling to Yunnan, you must visit the Spring City, where many city parks and the Dianchi Lake Wetland Park, along with famous attractions such as the Western Hills Dragon Gate and the Ethnic Villages, are located right next to the urban area. Spending two or three days touring the Spring City will make you feel that time is not enough, and you will have the feeling of lingering and returning.

Luoyang Travel Tips
Luoyang | As the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, how can you not visit the divine city of Luoyang! Walking through the streets and alleys of Luoyang, you'll feel like you've stepped back into the Tang Dynasty!
🔸Attractions
1. White Horse Temple
The White Horse Temple is a bit far from the city center, so get up early to go, or else you'll be exposed to the scorching sun by noon. The temple also features architectural styles from other countries, which are very beautiful and photogenic. At the Dharma Distribution Center, you can ask for a blessed bracelet.
2. Longmen Grottoes
It's recommended to visit in the afternoon, as the essence of the carvings is in the West Hill caves, and going in the afternoon avoids direct sunlight. If it's your first visit, you must hire a guide or rent an audio guide, otherwise, it's hard to understand. It's beautiful when lit up at night, but during the time I visited, the lights were not on in the evening, so if you want to see the night view, do your homework in advance.
3. Luoyi Ancient City / Ying Tian Gate / Li Jing Gate
Just stroll around casually as you pass by. If you're not there to take photos in Hanfu, it's not particularly interesting, but it's prettier when the lights are on at night.
4. Luoyang Museum
Almost all museums in Luoyang offer free admission! They are usually closed on Mondays, so adjust your schedule accordingly. The Luoyang Museum is huge, and you can spend half a day there, with free guided tours at fixed times on the first floor.
5. Ancient Tomb Museum
Highly recommended!!! My favorite place in the entire Luoyang trip was the Ancient Tomb Museum, which is free! The 'Luoyang Classic Tomb Display Area' is very interesting. It was my first time seeing such a museum, and I learned a lot about ancient Chinese burial customs.
6. Mount Laojun
It's a bit far, so I didn't go, but you can join a one-day tour group for convenience. Be sure to check the weather in advance.
7. Peony Garden
The peonies in Luoyang bloom for only one month, so if you go in April, you can see them. There are many peony gardens, large and small, so be sure to give the full name when taking a taxi.
🔸Food & Drink
You must try the various soups! Beef soup, mutton soup, donkey meat soup, served with a plate of sliced pancakes and a bottle of Huaibei, happiness! Spicy beef tripe is very delicious, and if you can handle spicy food, give it a try. Xiaojie Tianfu specializes in Sichuan snacks and is open 24 hours. The barbecue I had was from Kung Fu Monster, and their fried chicken is incredibly tasty; I even packed some to take away!
🔸Hanfu Experience
In Luoyang, no matter what country, ethnicity, or dynasty's clothes you wear on the street, nobody finds it strange; this is also a form of freedom of dress.
There are many shops on Minzhu Street next to Luoyi Ancient City where you can rent Hanfu and get makeup done, with prices ranging from 40 to 200 yuan, and some are negotiable. In any case, go early for a wider selection of clothes, and compare a few shops before deciding.

West Mountain
Kunming Mianzumu Outdoor Follow
West Mountain Dragon Gate
During the Yuan Dynasty, West Mountain was known as the 'first of the eight sceneries of southern Yunnan', and was hailed as the 'first beautiful scenery in Yunnan'. In the Ming Dynasty, it was even ranked as the 'top of the four famous mountains in Yunnan'. Today's West Mountain has been developed into a forest park, which is a AAAA-level tourist attraction in our country. It is suitable for visiting in spring, summer, and autumn, including Huating Temple, Taihua Temple, West Mountain Longmen Grottoes, and Sanqing Pavilion!
The 'Dianchi Lake Moon at Night' in the 'Eight Sceneries of Kunming' in the Qing Dynasty generally refers to the Kunming Longmen in the suburbs of Kunming. It is located south of the Sanqing Pavilion and has a history of a thousand years. It is famous for its magnificent scenery of being majestic, strange, dangerous, and beautiful. It is known as the first scenic mountain in Yunnan, and it is popular among local people in Kunming: 'Once you climb the Dragon Gate, your value will increase a hundred times'.
The West Mountain Dragon Gate is located on a cliff called Luohan Cliff. The West Mountain Dragon Gate scenic area consists of 'Sanqing Pavilion' and 'Longmen Grottoes'. Among them, the Longmen Grottoes are also the largest and most exquisite Taoist grottoes in Yunnan Province, composed of Lanhai Place, Ciyun Stream, Yunhua Cave, Datian Pavilion and other attractions. This grotto extends along the cliff, all of which are drilled out by humans one hammer at a time!
