2025 Suijiang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Surprise! Just a 3-hour drive from Neijiang gets you to Yunnan! 1. Transportation Located in Xintan Town, Suijiang County, Zhaotong City. Recommended to drive or hire a private car (navigate to "Datuanyan"). About a 1-hour drive from the county town, with some narrow sections requiring cautious driving. We drove from Neijiang and arrived in 3 hours; it's just a 1.5-hour trip from Yibin. 2. Highlights (1) Majestic Wonder: Reach the summit to see giant natural cliffs towering over the mountain, creating a breathtaking sight. (2) Overlooking the Jinsha River: The mountaintop offers superb views of the winding Jinsha River and terraced fields, with misty clouds creating a fairy-tale atmosphere. (3) Primitive Hiking: Trek through bamboo groves and dense forests, full of wild charm (one-way hike takes about 40 minutes; wear anti-slip shoes). 3. Tips (1) Best Time: Spring and autumn (avoid rainy season), choose clear weather for the best summit views. (2) Safety First: The trail is undeveloped, so hike with companions; avoid rainy days to prevent slips and falling rocks. (3) Travel Light: Bring your own water and snacks—no supplies at the summit; sun protection and insect repellent are essential. (4) Duration: Allow 2-3 hours for hiking and photos. Can be combined with a half-day tour of Suijiang County. (Depends on personal preference; there are farmhouse restaurants up there. We even saw a rainbow on a clear day!) 4. Cost: No entrance fee, free parking.

❤️ The Jinsha River is the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It originates from the Geladandong Snow Mountain, the main peak of the Tanggula Mountains in Qinghai Province, and flows through Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, and Yunnan. After reaching Yibin in Sichuan and converging with the Min River, it is called the Yangtze River. The Jinsha River is also the boundary between Yunnan and Sichuan, with Yunnan on one side and Sichuan on the other. 💚 The Jinsha River got its name because of the abundant gold sand along the river. It is said that "gold is born in Lishui, and silver comes from Zhuti." It is also recorded in Han Feizi that "gold is born in Lishui," and Lishui was the name of the Jinsha River before the Song Dynasty, which was changed to Jinsha River during the Song Dynasty. 💙 The Jinsha River basin is mostly surrounded by mountains, and land transportation was not developed in ancient times, so water transportation was mainly relied on, and most towns were built along the river. Not only the Jinsha River basin, but also the mega cities in the Yangtze River basin, such as Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing, and Shanghai, were built along the river. 🧡 The Jinsha River used to be turbulent, but in recent years, the country has built four giant hydropower stations, Wudongde, Xiluodu, Baihetan, and Xiangjiaba. The hydropower stations need to intercept the river for power generation, and the reservoir area along the river after interception looks more like a lake than a river, which is the so-called "high gorge out of the lake." 💜 This is the scenery of the Jinsha River reservoir area taken at the door of my house. This group of photos was edited with Meitu Xiuxiu, using two filters, namely texture and azure, with texture 80 and azure 100. I feel that this filter is a bit too much, 😊😊😊.

What are the people in Yunnan busy about? "Only busy with flowers all year round" The jacaranda has not faded yet, but the red jacaranda is blooming again! I feel like the flowers will be in full bloom on May Day ✔️📍: Phoenix Primary School ✨: The flowers are beautiful on the sidewalk with few people. It is recommended to wear a horse skirt to take photos ✔️A beautiful scenery not to be missed

March in the springtime is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. The delicate petals sway gently in the breeze, as if showing off the beauty of spring. In this wonderful season, we have come to the peach garden to admire the flowers. From a distance, the pink peach trees look like blankets woven from millions of clouds spread across the mountains, and the tender blossoms on the trees are like bright, red smiles. With the breeze, they sway gently, and their soft fragrance drifts with the wind, merging with the moist earth. A few green leaves set off the delicate peach blossoms, so vibrant and beautiful. The blossoms, touched by the breeze, gently fall into the water, undulating with the waves, like a flat boat sailing into the distance. Upon closer inspection, each peach blossom on the branches has its own charm: some have only opened two or three petals, shyly hiding behind the green leaves; some have fully opened, revealing yellow stamens amidst the tender petals; some are about to bloom, round and plump, like little pink pearls. Suddenly, I feel as if I am a peach blossom myself, standing in the sunlight in a pink dress. A gust of wind blows, and I dance gracefully, my pink dress fluttering with the wind. It's not just me; the entire garden of peach blossoms is dancing. After the wind passes, I stop dancing and stand quietly. Butterflies come by, telling me of the beautiful dreams of last night; bees come by, sharing the joy of gathering honey in the early morning... How beautiful the peach blossoms are! From time to time, a breeze brings a sweet scent, and I linger, reluctant to leave! Poets who come here must also be unable to resist exclaiming: 'Half of the river is rustling, half is red; a hundred miles of peach blossoms reflect the sky!' Ten miles of peach forests form a huge scroll, a calling card of Suijiang! The waters of the Jinsha River surge forward, but only the peach forest remains serene and beautiful here! Aside from reciting the peach blossoms that cover the mountains and fields, poets probably also want to find a tavern to drink to their heart's content! After all, wine can temporarily make one forget troubles and sorrows! There should be a tavern in this ten-thousand-acre peach forest, right? Otherwise, how could it attract poets? And at this moment, my thoughts have already drifted far away... A breeze blows, and I remember that I am just an ordinary person who came to visit! But the life of an ordinary person can also be poetic and picturesque! Friends, let's not stop until we're drunk! Drunken eyes see flowers in a different red! Lying drunk in the peach forest is the ultimate pleasure! Who can stop our joyful pace? The flowers are good! The wine is good! The wind is good! All are the best lullabies for tonight... Appreciating peach blossoms in March is a state of mind, a contentment, a refined pleasure, a leisure, a romance, a happiness. Drunk with your eyes, where are you? If the heart has a place it loves, everywhere is a landscape, everywhere there is the fragrance of flowers. I only wish that you and I, with our loved ones, would often come here to 'stroll in the courtyard'! To passionately praise it once more—aren't you and I also the most beautiful scenery in the world... Let's end the chat here today! Until we meet again, if fate allows...
