Fuxian Lake, So Beautiful It's Almost Unfair! God Spilled the Color Palette for You

Fuxian Lake is stunningly beautiful, with clouds filling the sky during the day, creating a magnificent scene. The only regret was that in the evening, the sun was covered by a large patch of dark clouds, so we didn’t get the anticipated fiery sunset. But we were already grateful it didn’t rain!

🚗【Transportation & Accommodation】
▪️ Self-drive: 1.5-hour direct drive from Kunming. The lakeside road is incredibly scenic, perfect for pulling over anytime to capture stunning road shots!
▪️ High-speed train: Kunming South → Chengjiang Station (30 minutes), then a ~20-yuan taxi ride to the west shore of the lake.

✔️ Best visited at 7 AM! The misty mountains and lake create a dreamy fairy-tale atmosphere as fishermen paddle by in wooden boats, with egrets flying low. Capturing silhouettes or side profiles adds a storytelling vibe!

2️⃣ 「Mint-Colored Shallows and Dragonflies」 (Corresponds to Description 2)
📍 Location: Wild Beach at the Foot of Modou Mountain, East Shore

📸【Pro Photography Tips】
☁️ Outfits: White/light blue long dress + woven bag. The lakeside is windy—hairbands work better than hats for a dreamy look!
🌿 Props: Buy wildflowers (5 yuan) or a clear umbrella (perfect for capturing water reflections).
⏰ Timing: Avoid noon! Best summer light: 8–10 AM and 4–7 PM.

💡 Final Notes:
▪️ Sunscreen! Sunscreen! UV rays are intense on the lake (keep sunglasses and a sunshirt glued to you).
▪️ Protect the ecosystem! Don’t step on wild lotus areas or take small fish and stones.
Standing by the lake, you’ll truly understand the poetic line: "Drunk, I know not the sky mirrors the water; my boat is laden with starlit dreams." 🌌
This summer, make a minty dream date with Fuxian Lake!
