Rediscover the Old Spot

【Anning's Hidden Water Paradise】Treasure Wild Self-Driving Route is Here! 🚗 The Magical Xiaoqingkou Reservoir is Absolutely Stunning! This off-the-beaten-path gem is located in the suburbs of Anning City. Just navigate to "Xiaoqingkou Reservoir" and you'll arrive in 40 minutes by car from downtown, reaching this secret paradise🌊. It's recommended to arrive before 9 AM to enjoy the serene lake and mountains with fewer crowds. 📍Must-See Highlights: 1. Crystal-clear water that looks like a giant sapphire under sunlight💎 2. Expansive grassy areas perfect for picnics and camping⛺ (don't forget snacks and fruits) 3. Swimming and boating by the reservoir (remember to bring swimsuits and sandals) 4. Wear light-colored outfits for super photogenic shots✨ 5. Locals often come fishing on weekends—you can buy fresh wild-caught fish🐟 🍚Local Delicacies: - Farmhouse restaurants by the reservoir serve delicious clay pot fish and wild mushrooms - Anning Halal Beef Restaurant (their dried beef is amazing) - Yunwu Mountain Villa (their braised chicken is a must-try) ⚠️Practical Tips: 1. Self-driving is most convenient with ample parking available 2. Don't forget sunscreen! Yunnan's UV rays are intense 3. Be cautious of rocks if you plan to swim 4. Roads may close during rainy season (June-August) due to rising water levels 5. Bring a small net to collect shells—it's incredibly relaxing
