Luolong Park is located next to Chenghuang overpass in Chenggong District, Kunming. It is a comprehensive urban central park that combines ecology, culture, leisure, entertainment, and tourism. The park was planned and constructed with water as the main element, utilizing the Luolong River as the water source to create lakes. With a focus on artificially constructed mountain landscapes, the park harmonizes with the scenery of Zhangguan Mountain Forest Park to the north, blending mountains and water. Construction of Luolong Park began on February 28, 2007, and was completed at the end of September 2009. It was officially opened to the public on October 1, 2009. The park covers an area of 575 acres, including 200 acres of water surface and a total green area of 201,593.9 square meters. The park has clear and distinct lines, rich colors, and well-arranged trees, as well as various facilities such as pavilions, terraces, corridors, and park roads.

It was named after the white pagoda built in the Yuan Dynasty on the top of the mountain. Originally called Baota Mountain, it was painted red in 1958 and renamed "Hongta Mountain". The scenery is also replaced by "Red Pagoda Sunrise".

Ranked first in the Yuxi fish hotpot, of course you have to try it. The recommended dish is the hot and sour soup, which is indeed very spicy and sour, with a rich flavor. It is quite satisfying for those of us who grew up eating hotpot. The portion size is also very generous, with an average cost of 60 yuan per person for a group of four. However, the fish used in the hotpot is too old, I'm not sure if it's a specialty of Yuxi. The beef and pork belly added to the hotpot are mediocre, I don't think they taste good. It's not recommended to order them. Additionally, the 85-for-100 voucher cannot be used in conjunction with the set meal. The soup tastes good, but I don't think it deserves to be ranked first.

Good location, beautiful environment, distinctive ethnic decorations, antique-style courtyard in the ancient town. It's rare to find such well-preserved courtyards nowadays, and the environment is very comfortable. The steam-cooked chicken is different from those outside; it is tender and glutinous. The papaya shaved ice is also very refreshing. The Hani terraced fish at their place tastes good and is worth trying. Stir-fried grass shoots, a local specialty dish, is a must-try here. It's cheap and highly recommended!

The environment is quaint and classical, with two floors. The first floor is for snacks, while the second floor serves stir-fried dishes. The building design features wooden structures, and the seating by the window is very comfortable. The service is good; I was worried after reading some reviews about poor service, but it turned out to be much better than I expected. The jelly-like dish is delicious, with a sour, sweet, and slightly spicy dipping sauce that whets the appetite. The fried tofu is also very tasty, even better than the grilled tofu commonly found elsewhere. The braised pork intestine is also extremely delicious, with clean preparation and exceptional flavor. My friends all loved it~

Popular shop~ We were the first customers, and when we finished eating, the place was already packed. The environment is great, with Hani ethnic style decoration, and a touch of internet celebrity atmosphere. We ordered the chicken combo, a stew and barbecue. The chicken is local free-range chicken, the soup is simply stewed with ginger and salt, very delicious. The chicken meat is tender and chewy. The grilled chicken is marinated and has a mint flavor, quite special. Overall, the taste is good, priced at 180 per chicken, enough for three to four people, with some special dishes on the side.

1. Excellent scenic location: Jinyue Yuntu Hotel is a place where everyone wants to have a room with a view. Whether you are sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room or on the sofa in the living room, you can enjoy the beautiful views of terraced fields. It's a wonderful thing to be able to see the sunrise from the room early in the morning. If you want a better visual angle, I recommend going to the balcony on the fourth floor. The view there is more spacious. That's where I took my time-lapse video.
2. Homely service: There is a large tea table in the middle of the living room, with tea leaves and tea sets readily available. I brewed and enjoyed tea by myself, while my friend had coffee personally brewed by the owner. When we left, they even gave each room a bag of red rice, which was full of warmth.

Inside the cave, not only is it cool and pleasant, but you can also admire the wonders of stalactites such as stalagmites and stone pillars. The spring water is the main source of drinking water and irrigation for residents of Kaiyuan City. Outside the cave, there are ancient towering trees and continuous clear streams.

I think this shop is great. The decorations are just as good as many shops in big cities, showing that the owner has great taste. The color matching is very popular among young people while also being accepted by older people. As for the dishes, I really like the "Snowflake Fish Slice" and "Spicy Blood Tofu". They are flavorful, made with good ingredients, and have a pleasant texture. The soup has many ingredients that I haven't seen before.

The name Mile sounds very intriguing. The tea they serve before meals has a unique flavor. I asked the waiter what kind of tea it was, and they said it was local wild tea from Mile. They even gave me a bag of it because they saw that I liked it. I highly praise their enthusiasm and service here. Needless to say, the food at this place is delicious, especially the braised chicken and steamed pork with lily.

The hotel service is excellent, the rooms are clean and tidy. You can go to the hot springs every day. The hot springs on the top floor are only open at night, so you can enjoy a hot spring and admire the night view. There are also two or three hot spring pools on the first floor, although they are small, they are quite comfortable. Unfortunately, there is no gym. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious, with good quality. The hotel also provides two servings of milk every night, which is very delicious. There is also a complimentary shuttle service to the high-speed rail station, with excellent service.

The portion size is really big here, probably because of the humid climate, the food tends to be spicy. Friends who like spicy food will enjoy it. They also gave a pot of local tea, which was a bit bitter and tasted like medicinal food, but the utensils and the ethnic atmosphere were unique. The overall taste was also good. Looking forward to tasting it again next time.
