Live Your Best Lives
December is the baby's birthday, the baby is five years old. I wanted to go skiing, but I chose Yunnan, which has a better climate. Eight years ago, I went to Yunnan, Dali, Tengchong, Ruili, and Xishuangbanna. This time, I plan to walk in Honghe Prefecture and Wenshan, in and out of Kunming, rent a car and drive, and connect several world heritage sites and Internet celebrity attractions on the road.
Our itinerary lasted a total of 13 days and 12 nights, China-TravelNote booked air tickets back and forth to Kunming, all the way through Chengjiang, Fuxian Lake, Jianshui, Yuanyang, Hekou, Wenshan, Qujing, and finally returned to Kunming for a total of 2,443 kilometers. As I get older, take my baby and mother to avoid mountain climbing trips and focus on leisure and viewing interaction.
Self-driving:
This time I chose a ring line, a few points away is not far, but Yunnan's highway is not as developed as Guizhou, starting from Yuanyang, Yuanyang-Hekou-Pingbian-Wenshan-Malipo, this part is currently all national highways, provincial highways, county roads... Some sections of the road are still relatively bad, the nearby highways are under construction, there is no traffic jam on the road, and the scenery is not bad.
Food:
Yunnan food is still good, all kinds of mushroom vegetarian dishes, steam pot chicken, this time to eat the hotel and dry food, I feel that it is still a very good choice.
Accommodation:
With a baby and a mother, basically stay in a well-known local hotel all the way, except for Fuxian Lake Hotel and Jianshui Famous Hotel, which are slightly more expensive, and the hotels in the city are extremely cost-effective. In the end, it is a little regrettable to miss the legendary Maitreya Huquan Tianyi Hotel.
Tickets:
At the moment of the epidemic, all tickets are basically folded in half this time, and all on-site purchases do not have the urgency of grabbing tickets in Guizhou summer.
D1: The China
Eastern Airlines plane in Kunming in the afternoon arrived at Changshui Airport on time. The pick-up of the car went smoothly, and I drove directly to the Cuihu Hotel by the Cuihu Lake in the city, an old state-run hotel, the hardware is not new, the room is not big, but the service is very good, the butler service, the swimming pool reservation system, the parking is also convenient, and the free food in the room is free a table a day, which is indeed a bit much.
D2: The journey of the original conspirator
Today is the first day of the tour, departing for Chuxiong Yuanmou County, Kunming has been less than three hours, first go to the Yuanmou ruins to see, for our baby, we are used to the archaeological journey. Yuan Mou, Yuanyang, Yuanjiang is known as Yunnan Sanyuan, Yuan Mou is said to not know what winter is, and it is true that there are more than 20 degrees here.
Get off the highway, walk all the way, and it won't take long to arrive at the Yuanmou People's Ruins Park, which is still under construction, relatively simple, except for a few monuments, you can only feel the atmosphere. But here it is written into textbooks, and it is worth coming and seeing.
Leave the site and return to the county seat, go to the Yuanmou People's Museum to take a look, the square parking is 2 yuan, the museum is not big, but it is a more systematic introduction to the ancient humans, and the landform of Yuanmou has been systematic , Yuanmou is a basin here, no wonder it is so hot.
Leaving Yuanmou County, not far away is Yuanmou Tulin, it is worth coming, it is very shocking, take a car up to the top of the mountain, see the scenery all the way, walk all the way down, and walk through the various scenery inside the soil forest is very good. According to the introduction, after millions of years of crustal movement, the god of wind and rain carved the land of Yuanmou into a variety of strange shapes. Therefore, it has attracted many photographers, geologists, and well-known directors to visit and shoot films here.
When we returned to Shanghai, my mother said that the soil forest was more annoying than the stone forest. Look at the beautiful scenery of the soil forest, flying drones, there are not many people in the scenic spot, and it is very comfortable to take pictures.
The preview is completed, go back to the hotel, the Chinese restaurant on the ground floor is really reliable, the steam pot chicken is a big praise, the service is good, the price is moderate, all kinds of delicious, it is worth trying.
D3: Kunming Museum Taihe Palace Jindian Haigeng Dam feeding red-billed gulls
today is a more casual arrangement, The first stop was the Kunming Museum in the city, where I mainly saw the oldest building in Kunming - the Jizang Temple Sutra Building, and the entire museum was built around this stone carving.As soon as you enter the museum, the whole hall is the sutra building, this antiquity was built in the Song Dynasty Dali Kingdom period, carved in sandstone, the surface of the building is slightly yellow, a total of seven levels, and the whole body is carved with moderately large and exquisite Buddhist statues, which is still very shocking.
Before the museum was built, it was a park, and it was also built around the sutra building, and now the museum has several exhibition halls, the content is not much, introduce some content related to Yunnan, Take a look at the flowers at will.
Leaving the museum, go directly to Mingfeng Mountain, 7 kilometers northeast of Kunming city, where there is the Golden Hall of Taihe Palace, you can drive directly to the door, and it is still convenient to park during non-holiday peaks. This is a famous Taoist temple in Yunnan, the environment is very quiet, but the most famous is the copper hall inside, the golden hall was first built in the Ming Dynasty, by Yunnan Governor Chen Yongbin in imitation of the Taihe Palace and the golden hall style of Tianzhu Peak in Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province, dedicated to the Arctic Zhenwu Emperor, the existing golden hall is rebuilt by Wu Sangui, the king of Qingping Xiwang, weighing 250 tons, heavier than the golden hall of Wudang Mountain.
tea garden around the Golden Hall, all kinds of garden scenery, is also quite beautiful, take the baby to climb high and ring the bell and pray for blessings. It is very nice to see the monuments, climb the hills, and see the flowers.
There were few tourists, so I could only deal with a little lunch at will, and drove to Kunming Haigeng Dam in the afternoon. Not far away, the dam was full of red-billed gulls, and I found a hall to park opposite and started the gull feeding trip by Dianchi Lake. December is the best time to see red-billed gulls in Kunming, and it is now an absolute Internet celebrity attraction.The place here is spacious, there are no tickets, and in winter, thousands of red-billed gulls fly here from distant Siberia, and they are fed bread and bird food at will, which is very enjoyable. What time in the morning did I take two packs of bird food, which was not enough at all, the baby ran happily, bought a lot of bread and bird food, took pictures of all kinds of shapes, and all kinds of people had a good time.
The seagulls here first came in 1985, when a group of red-billed gulls came to Kunming from distant Siberia, and Kunming citizens brought food from home to feed them; Subsequently, every winter, they never gave up on the promise, and came to Dianchi Lake and Cuihu Lake in Kunming every year. Every winter, citizens come here to feed the seagulls. After checking, the red-billed gull is not a protected animal, but Kunming uses it as a business card, and it is very good to take care of it.
Back at the hotel, the Chinese restaurant was reserved, and the food was ordered directly to the room, which was still delicious.
D4: Kunming North Railway Station (Yunnan Railway Museum), Chengjiang Fossil Site, Fuxian Lake
woke up and was ready to leave Kunming today,
Today's destination is Fuxian Lake. The first stop on the road is to see the Yunnan Railway Museum at Kunming North Railway Station. The museum is composed of the South Hall and the North Hall, the South Hall is based on the century-old Yunnan-Vietnam Railway "Yunnan Fu Station" French classical building as the prototype, the North Hall is a modern building that extracts the elements of the high-speed rail passenger station, and a railway steel frame bridge is connected between the two halls, spanning the three stock roads of the station, forming a whole between the museum and the station in operation.The museum is not big, but it is very interesting,
This trip to Yunnan, my wife is still looking forward to the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, here is a comprehensive introduction to the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, all the way to Kunming to the estuary, systematically introduced, very interesting, and Yunnan has standard gauge, meter gauge, inch gauge, various specifications of railway types. It also added more expectations for us to find attractions along the railway afterwards.
After leaving the museum, I began to leave Kunming, first go to Maotian Mountain - Chengjiang Fossil Site, an unknown World Heritage Site, no tickets, there are no tourists at the fossil discovery site, a large mound, but this is said to be a pilgrimage place for paleontologists.
At 3 p.m. on July 1, 1984, Hou Xianguang found an early Cambrian invertebrate fossil in a loose rock formation. He found a total of three important fossils that day, which were found to be Naluo worms, gilt worms and spike worm fossils. This discovery opened a door to the treasures of early Cambrian paleontology, after which Hou Xianguang successively discovered early Cambrian paleontological fossils such as arthropods, jellyfish, and worms.Later, he and his mentor Professor Zhang Wentang wrote "The Discovery of Naluo Worms on the Asian Continent", and named the animal fossils of Chengjiang "Chengjiang Fauna" in the paper.
Take pictures, leave the starting point, go to the museum 8 kilometers away from here, the museum that just opened in August is said to have an investment of 600 million, this museum should be the best natural museum in China, just on the shore of Fuxian Lake, enter the exhibition hall, the huge fossil earthen wall in the hall is very shocking. The exhibition hall has a variety of high-tech, sound, light and electricity, focusing on paleontology. The free tour introduction is very eye-opening, knowing the Cambrian life explosion, knowing the Cambrian overlord "strange shrimp", the baby is a little scared but also a little curious. It is said that the most unique thing about Chengjiang fossils is that the soft body structure of paleontology 530 million years ago actually became a fossil and was completely preserved in the rock layer. These paleontological fossils not only preserve the skeleton of living organisms, but also preserve various soft tissues such as the epidermis, cilia, eyes, stomach, digestive tract, mouth, and nerves. The Chengjiang paleontological fossil group vividly reproduces the magnificent landscape of marine life 530 million years ago and the original characteristics of modern animals, and proves the authenticity of the Cambrian biological explosion, breaking the limitations of Darwin's theory of evolution, and is known as "one of the most amazing scientific discoveries of the 20th century", which is definitely worth seeing as an eye-opener.
Anyway, when the information is pushed on the Internet, it is also a piece of praise and admiration for the Chengjiang fossil land, which is definitely worth a visit!
Leaving the museum, a few kilometers away is the Hilton Hotel by Fuxian Lake, which is in a great location to watch the sunset. The hotel service is still good, the front desk is not unpleasant at all and has no big impact, and the children also like all kinds of amusements here, walking around the lake, hehe tea, and looking at the scenery.
To say that it is a pity, I did not eat the bream in Fuxian Lake (the hotel only had a total of 0.5 kilograms, sold out).
D5: Fuxian Lake day trip
wakes up early in the morning, and the balcony is Fuxian Lake, which is full of beautiful sights. Today I am preparing for an in-depth tour of Fuxian Lake. The first stop is Fuxian Lake Park, the biggest feature of Fuxian Lake is the water quality, a type of water quality can be drunk directly, there are no motor boats in the lake except for the first aid boat, the lake water is quite clear. Fuxian Lake ranks third in Yunnan in terms of area, but the lake water is more than 90 meters deep on average, and the water storage is extremely large, and there are also various wild birds and red-billed gulls here, but they are not allowed to be fed artificially, for fear of polluting the lake water.
Leave Fuxian Lake Park, look at the scenery along the lake, continue to walk around the lake, and go straight to the Jieyu Stone Park on the side of the road, which is the middle of the Yudai River connected to Fuxian Lake by Xingyun Lake. It is said that the fish of the two lakes will turn back when they swim here, creating a wonder of "the two lakes intersect, and the fish do not come and go".
The park is small, there are few tourists, and it is worth seeing.
The last stop of Fuxian Lake was left to Gushan. You have to ferry to the island, you can choose to step on the boat yourself, or you can take a human-powered boat, in short, there is no internal combustion engine power. Gushan is the only island in Fuxian Lake, the island is not big, there are not many tourists, it is very comfortable to climb high to see the lake, Gushan is known as "jasper in central Yunnan", the reputation of the world's beauty, the scenery is beautiful, the victory is better than Nanzhou, it is worth visiting.
Say goodbye to Fuxian Lake, continue south, and live in Jianshui tonight.8 years ago, I traveled to Yunnan, because the steam pot chicken came to Jianshui, and this time I visited again, my favorite ancient city. The ancient city began to develop commercially, but it was not excessive, Chaoyang Building was still the same building, and there were many more homestays.
I chose the best Tingziyun B&B in the ancient city, the B&B itself is an ancient house, the parking lot is 300 meters outside the B&B, the B&B service is really good, and the transfer car comes to pick us up to take our luggage. The boss saw that we had more breakfast and upgraded the room, which is still worth thanking. Put away the luggage, go out for a walk, walk all the way along Lin'an Road, my mother came for the first time, passed by the academic and political examination shed, and took the baby to see the tour before closing the door to understand the imperial examination culture at that time.
Continue along Lin'an Road, the baby is hungry, go out of the west gate to find Osakai, the Sakai Tofu Workshop on the opposite side makes the baby very satisfied, My wife also added a lot of points to Jianshui for this mouthful of Jianshui tofu, soy milk, tofu brain, bursting tofu, really delicious.
went to the well to see when he was full, and the baby worked hard to fetch water and was satisfied. Back on Lin'an Road, the baby played street games, found an Internet celebrity restaurant, Nicholas Tse did a show, ate local grass sprouts, and was satisfied.
D6: The breakfast of Jianshui Train
B&B was very delicious, and after breakfast, thanks to the enthusiastic waiter, the shuttle bus drove us to Lin'an Small Railway Station. At first, the boss was worried that their shuttle bus would not let him go to the train station, and I was worried that I would not be able to drive in time, thanks to the enthusiastic help of the waiter. The last time I came to Jianshui there was no small train, this time I took the baby to play in the car, this route is based on the previous "Bishi" railway, before in the Kunming Railway Museum has an understanding, now the inch gauge has been changed to meter gauge, the train is a real guy, the Kun Bureau Kun section, the train starts from Lin'an Station, ends at Tuanshan Station, and stops at Shuanglong Bridge and Xianghui Bridge in the middle.
At nine o'clock in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, two buses, one round trip for 4 hours and 40 minutes, a bit of a roaming feeling, very comfortable. Get on the train at Lin'an Station, take pictures on the platform, and the carriage with a wooden feel is slow. At the first stop of the Shuanglong Bridge, the attendant on the bus will also lead the team to give a full explanation and go around the Shuanglong Bridge. This bridge is a well-known scenic spot in Jianshui, commonly known as the "Seventeen Holes Bridge", which is a three-pavilion and seventeen-hole stone arch bridge, spanning the water at the confluence of the Lu River and the Tachong River, and is one of the famous monuments in Yunnan Province, which has been included in the history of Chinese bridge building, which is very beautiful. Parking here is only about half an hour, which is enough.
The next stop is Xianghuiqiao Station, here is mainly to look at the platform, the platform is an old building, original goods, stop for 20 minutes to take pictures.
The final stop is Tuanshan Station, which is the ancient village of Tuanshan Village, and there is more than 2 hours of tour time. Tuanshan Ancient Village is a fusion of local ethnic culture and Central Plains culture, with many historical relics, and it is also a quiet place in Jianshui, Yunnan Province without too many people disturbing it.
In fact, these points are not far away if you drive, but the slowness of the train is still worth experiencing.
40 minutes by train to Lin'an Station (Jianshui). Along Yinghui Road, a snack bar at random, sit down and start baking tofu, recalling the roasted tofu at the street station 8 years ago, still counting corn kernels, and all kinds of tofu aroma.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the small roll fans in the alley this time. All the way to the Chaoyang Building, my mother looked at the scenery and took pictures, this is the same original product as Tiananmen Square.
Yuanyang red rice pancakes made by the Northeast brother on the side of the road are also chic, giving us the next stop of Yuanyang to replenish energy.
Leaving Jianshui, all the way to Yuanyang on the national highway, the road is not good, 245 National Highway, there are many cliff sections, because the highway here is still building a lot of large vehicles. I could have gone to Yuanyang to watch the sunset, but I encountered the temporary closure of the national highway to dismantle the large protective device, which was delayed for an hour, and the road in front of the Yuanyang terraces was still very good, and I chose the Wan Shan Resort Hotel in Qingkou Scenic Area, the price is affordable, and the restaurant taste is also good. Breakfast was not included in the hotel when booking, but the surprise was that the hotel actually said, "There is no place around, and our hotel will give breakfast for free". Praise it! It's not very popular here, but it's a World Heritage Site in 2013! But business is not comparable to Jiangsu and Zhejiang at all, and it still feels a bit of a farming civilization, and there are few opportunities for farming.
D7: Yuanyang Rice Terraces Estuary Port
Yuanyang Terraces are best to watch the sunrise in Duoyi Tree, 40 minutes drive one way, you need to go back and have breakfast, give up decisively, eat breakfast calmly, and see the beautiful terraces at the attached observation deck.
Tourists are basically video uncles, all kinds of majors. Check out and leave the hotel, the first stop is to go to Bada Scenic Area, the entire Yuanyang Terraces do not require tickets, only a few small scenic spots need tickets, one ticket to play, it is not expensive. Several viewpoints on the road to take pictures, two viewpoints in the Bada Scenic Area, very spectacular, from the Malizhai River at an altitude of 800 meters, the continuous thousands of terraced fields, all the way to the top of the mountain at an altitude of 2,000 meters, the Hani villages such as Malizhai, Bada, Shangmadian, and Quanfuzhuang are lifted high into the sea of clouds. More than 3,700 terraces are like ladders, reaching the sky.
Continuing to move forward, the top observation deck has Hani small pot friends doing business, here is indeed still relatively farming, the business is underdeveloped, the baby changes into famous costumes to take pictures, not much distance to the Duoyi tree, here to enter the door directly to see the terraces, the door is being repaired, parking is a little annoying, fortunately, there are fewer people and fewer cars. Located at an altitude of 1,900 meters, there are 650 hectares of terraced fields distributed on the 25° to 50° hillsides of the bay, such as Duoyishu, Aichun, and Dawazha, which is the best scenic spot to watch and photograph the sea of clouds, sunrise and cottage. The famous scenery film "Yunnan Story" was filmed with this terraced field and village as the main scene.
The Tiger Mouth Geological Disaster is not open, and there is no sunset at the mouth of the Qingkou and the sunrise at Duoyi Tree, but the Yuanyang Terraces are still worth the trip.
Leaving Duoyishu, continue on the national highway over the mountains, take National Highway 553 and 219, and follow the Yuanjiang River all the way south,
There are not many tourist cars on the road, on the Kaihe Expressway, there are almost no vehicles all the way, directly to the estuary, the security check of the border city is stricter, get off the highway, go directly to the estuary port, there is no one related to the epidemic, the shops are almost closed, and it is convenient to park. The Nanxi River and the Yuan River converge here, and the Yuan River enters Vietnam and begins to be called the Red River.
The port has been closed, all border trade has stopped, take a walk to see the boundary monument, the port, the national gate, the estuary crossing bridge and the estuary station of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, the scene of extreme prosperity in the past is now completely gone, and I actually saw the Vietnamese train transit to transport goods, and I was lucky. From Kunming to the estuary, all the way was successful. Leaving the port to stay at Yunling Xinhewan Hotel, it is also the best hotel in the local area, it seems that there are only 8 rooms with guests on the day of check-in, the restaurant is still open, the swimming pool is fully open, the service is indeed good, praise it.
D8: Herringbone Bridge Wenshan
went to the hotel's own observation deck in the morning, and you can see the estuary freight port, and the trucks on the bridge continue to travel to and from Vietnam and China, and I don't know how to prevent and control the driver.
There is only one attraction today from the estuary - the Pingbian Herringbone Bridge, an important point of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.
Drive all the way along the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway for a long time, the road is not difficult, walk slowly, look all the way, and arrive at the herringbone bridge at noon. No tickets, farmhouse eating and starting to climb the herringbone bridge on the mountain.
up the steps until the railway, start along the railway through a tunnel to the herringbone bridge deck, the bridge is very windy, very spectacular.
The bridge is located in the Grand Canyon of the Sichahe River in Wujiazhai Township, Heping Miao Autonomous County, Honghe Hani Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China, between Boduqing Station and Luogu Station, the bridge is a landmark project of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, and is also an important physical material for the study of the history of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and China's bridges, and is included in the "History of World Famous Bridges". The Wujiazhai Railway Bridge was built on March 10, 1907, designed by Paul Bourdain, an engineer of the French Bardineur Engineering and Construction Company, according to the principles of applied mechanics, and undertaken by his company.
The Wujiazhai Railway Bridge is 71.7 meters long, 4.2 meters wide, 102 meters high, and the bridge deck is 102 meters high from the deep line at the bottom of the valley. It is said that in order to build, all the constituent parts are decomposed and designed to be able to resist transportation by one person, all by manpower, assembled on site, and repaired the bridge and killed 800 laborers, which is very difficult. Go all the way down through the tunnel opposite the herringbone bridge, the dirt road of the locals is really not easy to walk, it is recommended to go a little further on the repaired tour steps.
Leaving the herringbone bridge to Wenshan, Baidu, AutoNavi is not recommended to take a small road route is the shortest, we decided to try it, sure enough, this road is the worst road this time, the herringbone bridge here first has to go up the mountain to walk a section of dirt road parallel to the railway, cross the railway line and start a rugged muddy road, fortunately, there are not many cars, all the way to the forest farm, towards Heping Town, all the way to Wenshan, this road is still the shortest. The road was bumpy, and finally got on the Monkey Expressway, and successfully arrived at Wenshan, the hometown of Sanqi.
Stay at Wenshan Phoenix Jinjiang Hotel, a big city hotel, the restaurant dishes are good, but as a feature, many of them are put notoginseng, the medicinal flavor is strong, it is really a bit bitter, not bad!
D9: Malipo Laoshan Tour
Today I went to Malipo and Laoshan. There is no highway, only 210 provincial highways, 246 national highways, all kinds of fog, all kinds of mountains and mountains, fortunately, the road surface is good, the border inspection is still very strict, all kinds of filling forms, and actually have to press the handprint. Malipo is located on the border, the main site of the recent counterattack against Vietnam, it is said that it has been fighting here for a long time until the 90s, the whole county is supported by people, very hard, but there is also a history here, dating back to the Stone Age, it is a place worth seeing.
Go to Laoshan first, it's a pity that the main peak is not open due to the epidemic, so you can only see a few war relics at the foot of the mountain. Red tourism, good construction, exhibition halls, divine artillery positions, mine exhibition halls, all kinds of scenery.
It is not far from Tianbao Port, which is smaller than the estuary, more depressed than the estuary, and the national gate is isolated, and you can only look at the national gate and transit vehicles through the barbed wire.
It was still early, and I decided to go to the Dawang Rock at the Malipo site to see it, this is a work of the Stone Age, Dawangyan Park is on the side of the road in the city, and parking around can only be done on the roadside. There are no gates in the park, and you can see an extremely steep staircase on the side of the road to climb up, without handrails, going straight up and down, a little afraid of heights. There will be a gentle staircase 300 meters along the road network line, which is under construction now, which is relatively muddy and the road is not very easy to walk. Anyway, the two stairs go to the end of the Dawang Rock Wall, and the Dawang Rock Cliff Painting is located on the stone wall of the Sheep's Horn Wall 500 meters east of the city.
It is said that the cliff paintings are divided into two groups, and they are not introduced, the petroglyphs, the surrounding area is completely closed with thick cement walls and iron doors, and the main rock art landscape can only be viewed from a distance, which is still very good, and it has been identified as a Neolithic work, which is worth seeing in this small border town. There is a road in Shanghai where you can climb to the top of the rock and look at the entire Mali Slope. After a break at the top of the mountain, we started Palindrome Mountain.
drove all the way past the Malipo Martyrs Cemetery, the war was too cruel, and I looked up at the door to express my awe.
All the way back, there were a lot of big cars on the road, but fortunately, everything went well.Since my wife has an urgent task, I have to rush to Hunan the next day, and the next day I can only take my baby and mother to continue my trip to Yunnan. After fine-tuning the itinerary, I decided to stay in Wenshan for one more night.
D10: Pu Zhehei
sent his wife to Wenshan Airport early in the morning, and the fog was not small.
It is also a good way to go to Puzhehei, there is no highway all the way, but the road surface is excellent, and it is smooth to reach Puzhehei, and the weather is very hot.
Scenic spots don't need tickets, the visitor center directly buys scenic tickets, first go to Shuangjiashan Wharf to take a painting boat, Shanghai due to aid construction, ID cards can actually be discounted by 70 yuan / piece, the boat is an hour average, there are not many tourists, all the way to the feeling of boats in the middle of the painting, here are karst landforms, hills are very beautiful in the water, passing by Swan Lake, seasonal reasons, no swans can only see the beautiful scenery. 70 minutes is very leisurely, arrive at Qinglong Mountain, climb to the Qinglong Mountain Observation Deck, on one side is Puzhehei Village (where to shoot where Dad goes), and on the other side is the filming location of Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, which is very beautiful. During the epidemic, several caves were not opened.
Qinglong Mountain comes down directly from Scenic Line 2 back to Pucaotang Wharf, you can get off the bus on the way to Puzhehei Village, Xianren Cave and other scenic spots, return to Pucaotang and continue to transfer to Line 1, to Xihuang Wetland, where many locals are playing. Puzhehei means a pond full of fish and shrimp in the local language, here is really a net bag in hand, it doesn't take long to catch a bucket of tilapia, no skill required, amazing! The monkeys raised by people in Xiaokong Mountain in the wetland are full of monkeys on the pontoon, which can be fed, and the babies are having a lot of fun. I didn't want it to be too late, so I returned to Wenshan smoothly.
D11: Bisezhai Jijie Station Shilin
got up in the morning and left Wenshan, first went to Mengzi's Bisezhai, from Wenshan all the way to Honghe, Bisezhai is famous because of Feng Xiaogang's youth, but it is also the core hub of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, the handover station of meter gauge and inch gauge. You can drive directly to Bisezhai Station, but there are not many parking spaces, or you can park in the parking lot of the scenic spot and take a sightseeing bus for 20 yuan.
The business here is mainly to borrow clothes to take photos, the price is not expensive, reminiscent of that era. This is actually a national key cultural relics protection unit, and the entire station is within the scope of key cultural relics protection, retaining many historical relics. In the Kunming Railway Museum, I saw an introduction to Bisezhai Railway Station, which was built in the first year of the Qing Dynasty's Xuantong era, initially named Bisezhai Station, and later named Bisezhai Station. In the 7th year of the Republic of China, it was approved as a special station. In 1992, passenger transport at Bisezhai Station was suspended; In October 2010, Bisezhai Station was abolished. It is a fourth-class station under the jurisdiction of the Kunming Bureau of China Railway, passing through the Kunhe Railway, Gebishi Railway At present, the Bisezhai Yunnan-Vietnam Railway History and Cultural Park is being built here, which is worth visiting.
Leave here and drive to the old Jijie Station, which is not as famous as Bisezhai, but it became a cultural protection unit earlier than Bisezhai, and this is the place where the track is kept. In 1970, the Ministry of Railways expanded and renovated the inch gauge railway in the Jijie-Shiping section, which was expanded to meter gauge that year and connected with the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway.
Chicken Street - an old section that could not be renovated due to congenital deficiencies and was discontinued in 1990. This is not a tourist spot, find a place to park at the end of the road, the station is dilapidated, the platform is full of railroad tracks, the main building of Jijie Station is a combination of Chinese and Western imitation French buildings, the waiting room is square, and there is a platform on the south side, which is quite beautiful. Coming to Chicken Street can also be regarded as this visit to the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway without regrets.
Before noon, I finished the last two sightseeing spots of the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway and took my mother to visit the stone forest. This place was not in the tour catalog, I came with my wife 8 years ago, this time my wife left the team, my mother still needs to take into account the travel content, give up the parent-child Maitreya (missed the legendary Maitreya's Huquan Tianyi Hotel), and go directly to the famous stone forest. 2 hours, the whole highway, directly to the stone forest, now the parking lot is 400 meters away from the visitor center, the visitor center to the scenic spot is 1.5 kilometers, you have to take the scenic car. There were not many people, but it was still very cold when the cold air came. I found an Asma tour guide to explain to my mother, and my mother was addicted to taking pictures. Back then, my wife and I went to the large and small stone forests, the ancient stone forests, and the Jiuxiang caves, and this time I took my mother to visit the large and small stone forests.
stayed at the Hongyue Lake Hotel in Luliang that night, the most cost-effective hotel for this trip.
D12: The three major stone steles of Qujing in Colored Sand (Cuan Baozi Stele, Cuan Longyan Stele, Duan Clan and the Thirty-Seven Alliance Monument)
left Lu Liang early in the morning and went to Shalin to take a look. Yunnan stone forest, soil forest, sand forest, my mother always wants to be perfect. On the way, I passed by the Cuan Longyan Monument, this is the national security, the best calligraphy stone carving! Unfortunately, the interior decoration cannot see the authentic work, so I can only go around outside and visit here.
We are the first tourists in the colorful sand forest, the internal area is not large, and the natural landscape is still good. Add some humanities of the legend of the Three Kingdoms and sand sculpture art in it.The sand forest here is formed by weathering and erosion, and the layers of sand cliffs and sand pillars and sand peaks show golden, white, red and gray as the main tones, interspersed with black, cyan, green, blue and other colors, colorful and dazzling, plus different seasons, climate, sunshine and viewing angles, producing brilliant and colorful tones. Generally speaking, my mother likes the soil forest the most, and the second is the stone forest, and I just stopped by to see the scenery here.
In order to go home from Changshui Airport the next day, I rushed to Qujing city in the afternoon and stayed at the Qujing Official Hotel, which is near the South City Gate. Qujing urban area has the Cuan Baozi Monument and the Duan Clan and the Thirty-Seven Alliance Monument, both of which are 61 years of national security, all on the campus of Qujing No. 1 Middle School, deducted a site in the school to build a museum, drove over to investigate, and the opening hours are every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, a few hours in the morning and afternoon. It just so happened that we arrived on Thursday, and the door didn't open until three o'clock in the afternoon, and I happily went back to the hotel to clean up, my mother was not interested in this, so she simply brushed the hotel circle of friends.
I went around alone, and the "Monument of the Duan Clan and the Thirty-Seven Alliances" was erected in the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (971) and was erected by the Duan clan of the Dali Kingdom. This stele is a precious physical witness to explore the long historical origins of the unity and friendship between ethnic minorities in the history of Yunnan, and is also an important inscription and cultural relic of the exchange and integration of ethnic minority history, culture and art with Han history, culture and art, and the calligraphy art of the Song Dynasty.
The full name of the "Cuan Baozi Stele" is "the tomb of the late Jin Zhenwei general Jianning Taishou Cuan Fujun". It is a sand and stone stele. The whole stele is rectangular and the head is semicircular. The stele has 5 lines and 3 characters per line. The inscription is 13 words. The inscription has 13 lines, each line has 4 characters. The whole stele has a total of 403 words. The inscription tells the eulogy of the short-lived Cuan Baozi.The four-character parallel text like Hanfu and Yuefu is enough to show its unique historical status in the history of our country's literature and the culture of frontier ethnic groups.
Anyway, these two steles have a very high status in the calligraphy world, and I can only see the excitement and visit here without regrets.
D13: Qujing Changshui Airport Home
From the hotel, about a kilometer directly onto the highway, all the way to Changshui Airport, smooth home...
This trip is a long trip in recent years, this time I chose the not popular Yunnan southeast route, the scenery is also quite rich, history, humanities, natural landscape, Ethnic minority customs are all-encompassing.
I hope the epidemic will end as soon as possible and the trip will be happier.
