Things to do in Wenshan Prefecture

October isn't the best season; the lotus flowers are in bloom and not yet fully ripe. The entire route mainly involves sitting on a boat, and the boat services are infrequent with long wait times. The included shuttle bus service is also too limited; if you want to see more points, you'll have to walk.

Official pricing is undoubtedly based on cost audits, ensuring operational sustainability. The scenic area relies on waterways for access, subject to capacity limitations to "ensure the experience and control visitor flow." However, it's not without its advantages: the unique "boat-through-cave" experience is truly amazing, and the village's idyllic scenery is tranquil. Personally, I think the pricing, while expensive, is transparent. In general, the controversy surrounding Bamei's "high prices" stems from the gap between the essential transportation needs arising from its unique geography and tourists' expectations of a "Shangri-La" experience. Whether it's worth it depends on your travel preferences: if you seek unique landscapes and novel experiences and don't mind the higher cost, Bamei's "entry" method remains unique. If you prioritize value for money and a rich array of activities, you might find it falls short of expectations. It's advisable to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

The scenery is beautiful, I really love it 💕 Every shot is a masterpiece!

Qinglong Mountain is a famous commanding height in Puzhehei, and it is also the best place to watch the panoramic view of Puzhehei's rural scenery and the sunrise and sunset. Qinglong Mountain is not very high, and it only takes 20 minutes to reach the top. When you stand on Qinglong Mountain and overlook the whole view of Puzhehei, you feel that everything is worth it. In the early morning, Puzhehei Village by the lake was quiet, the sky was reflected on the lake, and the breeze blew, rippling fine waves. The highest point of the eastern peak gradually revealed a red light, and the beautiful lakes, peaks, and water countryside also woke up from their sleep.

The village is nestled against verdant mountains and fronted by lush waters. The waters of Xianren Lake surround the village, with isolated peaks reflected in the water like a natural bonsai. In the early mornings and evenings, a shroud of mist creates a picturesque scene. This village, inhabited by the Sani people of the Yi ethnic group, boasts a history of over 400 years. Villagers preserve the original Sani culture and myths, hosting festivals such as the Yi Hualian Festival and traditional song and dance performances like "The Ancient Immortal." The village's buildings are primarily brick and wood, with gray walls and red tiles, elongated eaves, and a predominantly yellow and red color scheme that evokes a vibrant ethnic atmosphere. As a key component of the Puzhehei Scenic Area, Xianren Cave Village boasts a comprehensive range of tourist facilities. The village is primarily populated by inns offering excellent accommodations, as well as a variety of restaurants and shops to meet visitors' needs for food and lodging.

The lighting effects inside the cave are quite beautiful. You need to take a short water ride to enter the cave, and the tour takes about half an hour. The terrain inside the cave is flat, and the stalactites are very beautiful, making it worth a visit.

The guesthouse is located in Xianrendong Village, a peaceful oasis amidst both commercial and rural scenery. The backyard overlooks a lotus pond, perfect for a morning stroll with fresh air. The village is clean and tidy, and dining options are convenient. Getting a taxi to the western, central, and eastern docks is also easy. The rooms are clean and tidy with nice views. Breakfast is clean and hygienic, though the selection is a little limited. The owner is also very nice. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the location, the rooms, and the cleanliness. I hope the owner continues to improve and lives up to my recommendation. 😄 For those from the north who rarely see water and natural lakes, Puzhehei is highly recommended. It's also a great choice for southerners looking for a summer retreat.

Sanla Waterfall is located in Sanla Village, Babao Town, Guangnan County, Yunnan Province. It flows from Babao River to Babao Town, forming a waterfall wonder with three terraces, namely Yuping Terrace, Yuyu Terrace and Gonghua Terrace. The total drop is 120 meters, and the length is more than 200 meters. It is not seen in the rainy season. The water column falls straight down, unstoppable, and the water mist splashes like mist and cotton. The sound of water is rumbling, like thunder and tiger roar, deafening. The sound of the water is so deafening that it was called Xiangquan Waterfall in ancient times.

Solitary peaks stand on the lake plains, and the lake water meanders between the solitary peaks, connecting the mountains and waters. Dozens of lakes with a surface area of ​​more than 20,000 mu are like pearls strung together, sparkling and clear.
