RV camping The homestay also has an RV camping base. You'll have a different experience in the camping area. Location: Luju Town, Jiangchuan District, Yuxi, Fuxian Lake

The hotel is located on a cliff and its unique design is full of mysterious elements. The room is warmly decorated and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer an unobstructed view of the lake. Lying in bed, you can feel the breeze and hear the sound of the lake water hitting the beach, as if you are one with nature. - 🌟Recommend a niche route to southeastern Yunnan: experience the fireworks of the "Fuxian Lake" with thousands of acres of glazed glass, visit the winter countryside and summer lotus pond of Qinglong Mountain in Puzhehei, and explore the food + meter-gauge train in the citywalk of Jianshui Ancient City... - It is recommended to drive by yourself❗️ Close to Jiangchuan District, not close to the city center, it is not easy to buy daily necessities near the hotel! Be sure to bring it with you. - The hotel's meals are mostly Western, with a rich breakfast Afternoon tea set menus are more cost-effective and more beautiful! 50+ per person and the taste is good. Butler service was great! Solve problems quickly.

Each hotel, The best time to move in is half a year after opening. Pullman Yuxi opened in July last year. Just over half a year has passed, How is this hotel? 🛏＞ Rooms and facilities: The hardware is pretty good. You can see that a lot of money has been invested in the decoration of the public areas and rooms. Compared with the Sheraton Kunming and Delta Hotels by the same owner, it can be said that this hotel is better than both of them. However, the biggest flaw of Pullman Yuxi is its exterior landscape. It is surrounded by large construction sites, which ruins the lobby landscape pool and infinity pool that would have been very photogenic. There is a spiral staircase in the lobby of the public area of ​​the hotel. It is very photogenic and has attracted many guests to check in. There are two main views of the room, the skyline view (actually the construction site view) and the mountain view. Of the two views, the mountain view is better at this stage, but it is best to tell the front desk to stay away from the central water view, otherwise the waterfall will be very noisy. There is a fitness course on the hotel’s own TV channel, which is jointly launched by Pullman and Les Mills. It is interesting and innovative to follow the course during your stay. 🍽＞ Food: There are many types of breakfast, but there is a problem. The food is not very edible. It is full of things, but it is basically difficult to know where to start. There are too many baked goods. I almost thought I was in a bakery. 🤵🏻＞ Service: Generally speaking, there are no major problems with the services of international hotels, but this Pullman is the one with the most detail issues I encountered. 1️⃣Before arriving at the hotel, the guest relations department called me and asked me what time I would arrive. I replied that I was on the way and would arrive in about half an hour. The reply I got was "Are you sure you want to stay? That's no problem. Sorry to bother you!" I had hundreds of questions at that time. Were they afraid that I wouldn't check in? Shouldn't the correct answer be to answer "The room is ready for you. You can check in when you arrive at the hotel" after asking, or to ask if there is any other assistance you need? 2️⃣It was already 4pm when we arrived at the hotel. The front desk replied that the room was not ready yet and we needed to wait. I suddenly understood why I was called before. When I expressed serious dissatisfaction, the manager on duty happened to hear my conversation with the front desk and asked the front desk to upgrade my room to a higher level, and only then did I get the room. 3️⃣The mini bar in the room was locked. This is the first time I see a hotel that has money but is unwilling to earn it. 4️⃣When checking out, I wanted a room card as a souvenir, which is something many hotel lovers would do. The front desk told me that the room card was 50 yuan each. Well, I don’t want it. In general, Pullman Yuxi still needs some work to do and there is still a lot of room for improvement in all aspects. As the only international five-star hotel in Yuxi city, it is still a good choice for a city vacation when the price is right. #hotel #travel #luxuryhotel #China #Yunnan #hotel #travelcontrol

Can’t stop the car?! I can’t remember the name of this mountain but it’s very beautiful. I feel it looks like the wallpaper on my MacBook it looks the El Capitan but it’s in Yuxi In Yunnan. more wonders around chin we can explore more! #urbanexplorer #yuanshanping #lijiang #yunnan #china #explorewithtony #naturelover #adventure #life #photographersdayoff

【Day 1: Exploring the Ancient City】 Step into Tonghai Ancient Town while the morning mist still lingers, and you'll find the vermilion doors of the Confucian Temple already half-open🪔. The 600-year-old ginkgo tree sheds golden leaves in the morning light, while bronze bells under the upturned eaves chime gently in the wind, creating the illusion of brushing shoulders with Ming and Qing dynasty scholars on their way to imperial examinations. Heading north along the bluestone path, weathered brick walls hide memories of the ancient Tea Horse Road, while copper kettles outside old teahouses still steam with the essence of bygone days. In the afternoon, climb the steps up Mount Xiu🌿, where ancient cypress trees line stone steps worn smooth by the passage of time. The Ming dynasty entrance gate of Yongjin Temple still stands tall, with the plaque reading "Most Beautiful in Southern Yunnan" reflecting shifting cloud shadows. The Qingleng Terrace halfway up the mountain is perfect for a rest; from the railings, you can see the overlapping gray-tiled roofs of the ancient town, like boats anchored in a sea of time. Before sunset, stroll to Juikui Pavilion, a three-tiered Ming dynasty structure that stands like a frozen morning bell. As wind chimes at the eaves harmonize with returning birds, the entire city bathes in amber twilight🌇. Remember to look for the century-old bronze mirror at the corner of the tower—it reflects not just your face, but also the unspoken vicissitudes of this ancient town. 【Day 2: Dialogue Between Lake and Mountain】 At dawn, Qilu Lake shimmers like silver silk🚣♂. Walking along the lakeside boardwalk, white egrets startle from the reeds, while fishermen's wooden oars break the mirror-like surface, creating ripples like annual rings. The Sansheng Palace by the lake houses astonishing wood carvings—on six latticed doors, fifty relief sculptures tell stories from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," with the edge of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade still appearing sharp after three hundred years. In the afternoon, take a boat to explore Gushan Island⛵, which floats on the emerald waves like a green spiral shell. The remaining ancient stage faces the clouds of southern Yunnan, while wild chrysanthemums bloom stubbornly in the crevices between stone steps. Yinghai Tower at the highest point is ideal for gazing into the distance—sunlight shatters the lake water into countless scales, blurring the distinction between moving clouds and flowing mountains. Before leaving, remember to mail a postcard from the old post office at the south gate of the ancient town📮. The weathered green mailbox swallows your current mood, while light filtered through cast-iron window grilles falls on the old Republic-era scale at the counter. Around the corner, you might encounter an elderly woman selling velvet flowers from a shoulder pole, the begonia flowers at her temples as vibrant as this ancient town—always maintaining a gentle vitality amidst the vicissitudes of time🌸. ✨Tip: Wear comfortable cloth shoes to feel the temperature of the ancient town; the flying eaves of Juikui Pavilion at dusk and the misty waves of Qilu Lake at dawn are best captured as ink-wash silhouettes.

If you want to buy the freshest ingredients, it is recommended to go early to experience the most lively atmosphere🌞 🚗 Transportation Guide: Take bus No. 1, 2, 7, etc. in the city and get off at "Shanhu Road" or "Huluyuan" station; if you drive, you can park temporarily in the alleys around the vegetable market, but parking spaces are tight during peak hours, so green travel is recommended~ 📸 Must-see highlights ✅ Special food area: Various wild mushrooms, mountain grass and wild vegetables fill the stalls! In the summer, you can see porcini and chicken mushrooms, which are affordable and fresh. There are also local freshly ground glutinous rice flour and corn flour, which make sweet and soft cakes! ✅ Snack stalls: Freshly baked tofu is the soul of Yuxi! The sizzling oil comes out, and when you dip it in the secret dipping sauce, it bursts with juice; papaya juice and cold rice noodles are also must-try, sweet and sour, refreshing, and instantly drive away the heat~ ✅ Dried goods specialty area: dried roses, tamarind cakes, lotus root powder and other specialties, the packaging is simple but the quality is superb, it is perfect to buy them as souvenirs! Tips for shopping and eating⚠️ • During the wild mushroom season, it is recommended to ask locals to help you choose to avoid pitfalls! • The snack stalls sell the grilled tofu by the “block” or “plate”, the price is affordable, so be brave and try it~ • The vegetable market is crowded, so keep your belongings safe and start happy shopping and eating mode! Real reviews 💕 Visiting the vegetable market in Yuxi is so healing! As soon as you walk into the Shanhu Road Vegetable Market, you will be greeted by all kinds of shouts and aromas, and instantly be surrounded by the full breath of life 🥰 The wild mushroom stall was crowded with people, and the stall owner enthusiastically introduced today's "fresh goods". The fresh fragrance of the chicken mushrooms made people unable to walk~ The best thing is the roasted tofu, which is freshly roasted and eaten. Sitting around a small low table with strangers, chatting while roasting, this is the most authentic slow life in Yuxi! The snack stalls at Huluyuan Vegetable Market are even more of a treasure. The papaya juice is added with rose jam and sesame, which is sweet and has a rich aroma; the soup of the cold rice noodles is sour and spicy, which is appetizing, and the portion is super large! Before leaving, I packed a few bags of tamarind cakes, which were sour and sweet, full of the taste of childhood. The only "trouble" was that my stomach was too small and I couldn't eat it all! I strongly recommend visiting the vegetable market when you come to Yuxi. This is where the most lively scene of the city is hidden. You will fall in love with the fireworks in a few minutes.

First time stepping into the world of Fuxian Lake? Don’t worry, with this note to protect you, your trip to Fuxian Lake will definitely be wonderful! I once heard a friend sigh: "Erhai Lake is reserved for foreign tourists, and Fuxian Lake is the back garden of Yunnan people." At first, I was skeptical about this evaluation. However, when I traveled around Fuxian Lake again and again, each time, I was deeply fascinated by its beauty as if I were meeting it for the first time. The azure blue water sparkles under the sunlight, like a beautiful painting drawn by nature with the most delicate brushstrokes, exuding an irresistible charm in every detail. 🌊Fuxian Lake is like a blue gem inlaid in the earth, and the circumference of the lake is about 100 kilometers. If you have enough time, I strongly recommend you to arrange a two-day and one-night trip around the lake. On the west bank, you can slow down, take a leisurely stroll, feel the breeze on your cheeks, and listen to the sound of the lake lapping against the shore, as if time has stopped for you. The east coast is a great place to watch the sunset. When the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake, the whole world is dyed orange and red. The scene is breathtakingly beautiful, like a colorful oil painting that makes you unable to help but indulge in it. If time is limited, a day trip around the lake is also a good choice. You can carefully select 2-3 attractions that you like, have fun and check in, leaving behind beautiful memories of your own. 🚗In terms of transportation, self-driving is undoubtedly the most convenient way. There are parking lots at various scenic spots along the way, so you don't have to worry about parking. You can freely travel between various scenic spots and stop at any time to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. If you don’t want to drive yourself, you can also arrive in Kunming first, and then charter a car from Kunming to travel around Fuxian Lake. This way you can save yourself the fatigue of driving and enjoy the fun of the journey. 🪧Next, I will introduce you to the route around the lake in detail: - **Red Beach**: No tickets are required here, and the beach is named after its unique red color. Standing on the beach, it feels like being in a dream world. If conditions permit, you might as well try aerial photography. From the air, you can take in the beauty of the Red Sand Beach. The photos you take will definitely amaze you. However, the wind is quite strong on the shore, so it is recommended that you bring a shawl or jacket to avoid catching a cold. - **Luchong Scenic Area**: Ticket price is 15 yuan per person. If you drive yourself, it is recommended that you navigate to the "Toad Stone Water Cave". Once you arrive at the car park, it’s only a few minutes’ walk with great photo opportunities at every turn. You can take as many photos as you want to record this beautiful moment. If you have enough energy, you can climb up Bijia Mountain and stand on the top of the mountain overlooking Fuxian Lake. At that moment, you will truly feel the charm of "endless acres of colored glaze", as if the whole world has become extremely open. - **Star Fish Cave**: The ticket price is also 15 yuan/person, and there is a parking lot at the door, which is very convenient. There is a cafe here with a beautiful environment and great photo opportunities. You can enjoy a relaxing time while sipping coffee and admiring the lake view outside the window. In the scenic area, you can also take a sailboat or kayak to have an intimate contact with the lake and experience the fun of water sports. - **Wanzigou**: About 2 kilometers away from the Star Fish Cave, no tickets are required. When driving by yourself, you can navigate to Wanzigou Fish Restaurant. When you come here, you will see camping tables and chairs placed by the lake. You can sit by the lake, feel the breeze, and enjoy the leisurely and comfortable feeling, as if all your worries have been thrown away. - **Gushan**: It is known as the "Jade of Central Yunnan". You can drive to the Sunshine Coast by yourself. If you want to go to Gushan Island, you need to take a round-trip boat fare, the boat fare is 30 yuan/person, and the island ticket is 20 yuan/person. When you step onto Gushan Island, you will find that the scenery here is like a paradise, peaceful and beautiful, making people linger. - **Dawan Village Internet Celebrity S Bay**: Navigate to the Internet Celebrity S Bay in Fuxian Lake, no tickets required. On a clear day, this is a great place to watch the sunset. You can see the winding road and the sparkling Fuxian Lake complementing each other, forming a picturesque scene. When the sun sets, the golden sunlight shines on the lake, and the entire S Bay is dyed golden, which is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. - **Sakura Valley**: Ticket price: 10 yuan/person. There are swings, sailboats and white sand beaches here, like a dreamy fairy tale world. Every year from March to April, when the spring cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the entire valley is covered with pink cherry blossoms, like a pink ocean, which is beautiful beyond words. It is definitely worth a visit during the cherry blossom season. - **Moon Bay Wetland**: Ticket price is 30 yuan/person, but it can be deducted when spending in the park. Walking into the park, you will see coconut trees and beaches, as if you are in "Little Sanya". This is also one of the best places to watch the sunset. When night falls, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the coconut trees and reflects the lake, forming a beautiful picture that makes you feel as if you are in a fairyland. - **Mafang Village Wetland**: No tickets required, self-drive to Mafang Village Wetland Park. After you park your car in the parking lot, walk through the palm trees toward the shore of Fuxian Lake, and you will find a "woods boardwalk leading to the seaside." Walking along the plank road is like walking into a mysterious forest world, allowing you to feel the tranquility and beauty of nature. - **Fuhaiwan Wetland**: Self-drive to Fuhaiwan Wetland Park, no tickets required. From February to April, there will be a sea of ​​lavender flowers blooming here, a sea of ​​purple, extremely romantic; from March to May, it will be a sea of ​​pink flowers. However, it should be noted that due to different temperatures and climates each year, the flowering period is for reference only. When you are surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers, it feels like you have walked into a dreamy fairy tale world, making you forget all your worries. 🏠For accommodation, Guanglong Town is a good choice. There are many accommodation options here, whether you like luxurious hotels or cozy B&Bs, they can meet your needs. At night, there is a lively and interesting Starlight Night Market in the town, where you can taste a variety of special snacks and experience the local customs and culture. 🐟Food is also an unmissable part of the Fuxian Lake trip. When you come here, you must not miss the Fuxian Lake copper pot fish and copper pot potato stewed rice. The copper pot fish has tender meat and the fish soup is delicious; the copper pot potato stewed rice is fragrant and has a soft and glutinous texture, which makes people linger in the aftertaste. Fuxian Lake is like a treasure hidden in the mountains, waiting for you to discover its beauty. I believe this note will provide strong help for your trip to Fuxian Lake and give you an unforgettable travel experience.
