Things to do in Huaning

Fuxian Lake Tourist Resort, also known as Fuxian Lake Scenic Area, is located in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province, and belongs to Chengjiang City, spanning Chengjiang City, Jiangchuan District, and Huaning County. It is an excellent summer resort!

During the National Day holiday, we arrived early at the Mingxing Fish Cave Scenic Area of ​​Fuxian Lake. The weather was overcast today, lacking bright sunshine, so the overall scenery was slightly less impressive than on a sunny day. However, this didn't dampen our spirits at all; instead, it added a gentle and tranquil atmosphere. What surprised me most was the unique interplay of light and shadow on the lake: the nearby waters were shrouded in a hazy, serene atmosphere, while in the distance, the lake shone brightly with the light of a clear day. The dappled sunlight gently sprinkled across the surface, creating a play of light and shadow, layer upon layer of brilliance, and the water shimmered with a delicate luster—it was exceptionally beautiful and soothing. The scenic area isn't very large, and there aren't many crowded attractions, making the overall atmosphere very relaxing and pleasant. The ground is covered with fine artificial sand, perfect for children to play in. It's especially suitable for family trips; just bring sand toys, and your kids can play freely on the sand, letting loose and enjoying a relaxing time. The highlight of the scenic area is the several popular lakeside cafes, especially the second-floor window seats, which offer fantastic views. Sitting quietly by the window, you can look up and gaze at the entire Fuxian Lake. The water is clear and gentle, and a soft lake breeze blows, making it perfect for daydreaming, relaxing, and slowly enjoying the lakeside lifestyle. However, during holidays, it gets very crowded, so if you want a good spot and good photos, you'll need to queue early. Also, taking photos within the scenic area requires payment, which is a small detail to keep in mind. Besides coffee and leisurely sightseeing, the scenic area also offers sailing water sports. However, apart from that, the overall activities are relatively limited and not particularly diverse. If you're looking for a high-intensity experience with a variety of entertainment options, this place might feel rather ordinary. But if you're looking for peace and relaxation, spending a few hours here quietly, watching the lake, feeling the breeze, and enjoying the slow pace of life will be very comfortable. Here are some practical tips: The restrooms are located outside the ticket gates. If you need to go to the restroom, be sure to scan the QR code and register your face beforehand to avoid having to buy a second ticket – very convenient and hassle-free. Overall, Mingxing Fish Cave is not a noisy and bustling amusement park, but rather a tranquil lakeside retreat perfect for relaxation, family fun, taking photos, and simply daydreaming. It's even more stunning on a sunny day, and has its own serene and gentle beauty even on a cloudy one, making it a relaxing and comfortable holiday getaway that soothes the mind and body.

Moon Bay at Fuxian Lake, known as the "Little Sanya of Yunnan," is essentially the hotel's backyard. It's quiet and peaceful, with few people, so you don't have to rush. You can quietly watch the lake, feel the breeze, and while away the time – just the right amount of comfort! [winking emoji]

Fuxian Lake is very large, with a circumference of more than 70 kilometers. It is recommended to go to the Red Beach to see seagulls. The water quality of Luchong Scenic Area is crystal clear, and there are several good places to take pictures. Moon Bay is too small and the scenery is average.

This is a scenic spot in the northwest corner of Fuxian Lake, and also one of the must-visit spots for taking photos. The shore is covered with red sand, which I heard was transported there. There are many seagulls, making it not only a great place for taking pictures but also a good place to bring children to play. When the weather is bad, the scenery is not particularly special, and in winter, it can be very windy, so be sure to dress warmly.

Springs with geothermal resources are called hot springs. Huaning Elephant Trunk Hot Spring Tourism and Cultural Resort makes use of the packaging function of hot springs to unify the entire resort under the theme of hot springs.

If you go to Cherry Blossom Valley in this season, you won't see beautiful cherry blossoms, but there is sunshine, beach, and Fuxian Lake. Many people come here to take wedding photos. There are several palm trees that add a lot of beauty to this scenic area.

Yunnan is incredibly cool in the summer, and Fuxian Lake in the summer has a unique charm. Guanglong Fuhaiwan Wetland Park, nestled beside the mountains and water, sits on the shores of Fuxian Lake, offering breathtaking views of the distant mountains. Take off your shoes, step barefoot into the cool, refreshing water, and take photos that will create a breathtaking scene. Although there are sightseeing buses available, the park entrance is only less than 500 meters from the lake, making it a stress-free walk for exercise. There is a paid parking lot at the main entrance, which is spacious and convenient, charging 10 yuan per car for small cars. Of course, there are also quite a few cars parked along the road, but it seems no tickets have been issued. 😃 Overall, this free park is worth a visit. The scenery is beautiful, the park is small, the roads are flat, and it's a good value.

I passed by here several times when I came to the Chengjiang Fossil Museum (I have written notes introducing the museum, you can check it out), but it was closed every time due to the epidemic. This time it is finally open, and the long-awaited circus theater also opened, so I rushed there as soon as it opened!

At first, I thought it would just be a peaceful boat trip on the lake, and I was planning to take some photos. But as soon as the boat left the harbor, the excitement started. The captain controlled the sails and tilted the boat sideways. Those sitting on the starboard side were practically submerged in the water, while those on the port side stood up involuntarily, almost parallel to the water! It was so much fun that I couldn't even hold on to the side with both hands, so how could I take any photos? It was so much fun! Highly recommended!
