Bamei Town
There are many beautiful places in the world like Shangri-La that are called paradises, but the beauty that is closer to what Tao Yuanming described, more like a true paradise, might be Bamei in Yunnan. Visitors to Bamei Village will first take a bumpy horse-drawn carriage ride, then take a ferry through a deep, dark water cave, with only the faint light from the boatman's headlamp. At this moment, it feels like a scene from a secret code/tomb raiding novel where the protagonist traverses an underground river cave. After slowly moving for more than ten minutes, you will see the light ahead. The entire experience is like a real version of the Peach Blossom Spring.
Fuxian Lake
Fuxian Lake in Yuxi and Puzhehei in Wenshan are treasures of the people of Yunnan. Fuxian Lake has built many boardwalks, beaches, and parks... The beautiful photos taken here often make people mistake it for Hainan. The water here ripples in layers, with waves rolling higher and higher towards the shore; the warm sunlight makes the lake surface sparkle, and riding a small boat, you can experience the tranquility and leisure of life as the boat glides over the rippling green waves.
Shaxi Town
People have long known about the ancient city of Lijiang. I believe that 99% of those who have been to Yunnan have visited it. If Shuhe is the Lijiang ancient city of 10 years ago, then Shaxi ancient town is the Lijiang of 20 years ago, making it more suitable for a leisurely stroll.
Yuanyang Rice Terraces Scenic Area
The already commercialized Lugu Lake has also become a popular shooting location for many friends; while the Yuanyang Rice Terraces is a place that tests photography skills even more, with angles, light and shadow, and timing... creating a blockbuster for your social media. The terraces are built along the mountains, stretching over tens of thousands of acres. The roads follow the mountains, villages are built along the mountains, and rivers flow along the mountains. Here, you can not only see the terraces but also experience the Hani ethnic culture.
Jianshui Ancient Town
Compared to the commercialization of Dali Ancient Town, Jianshui Ancient Town is more elegant and serene. The ancient buildings are better preserved, there is no overdevelopment, and it still retains centuries of cultural heritage.
Bingzhongluo
Surrounded by dozens of sacred mountains, it appears exceptionally quiet and pristine, without overdevelopment.
