The lesser-known Yunnan route that everyone's been asking about is so beautiful it's beyond words!

Are you still going to the crowded areas of Dali and Lijiang? Fuxian Lake, Jianshui, Puzhehei and Mile in Yunnan are hidden gems with fewer crowds and stunning scenery. It's easy to take amazing photos, especially at the Hilton Fuxian Lake, which is so beautiful it made me swoon. You can take photos that look like they were taken at a French manor in minutes! Itinerary DAY1: A dreamy rendezvous with Fuxian Lake After landing in Kunming, a private car will take you directly to the Hilton Fuxian Lake. This hotel is the highlight of the trip! The European-style manor architecture is so attractive that you might think you've arrived at a Tuscan castle in Italy. What's even more amazing is that the "sea view" here is clearer than Erhai Lake in Dali. You can start your vacation mode directly and easily enjoy a comfortable time. DAY2: The tenderness of Fuxian Lake and the everyday life of Jianshui After breakfast at the hotel, take a stroll along Fuxian Lake. The warm sunshine shines on your body, and the breeze caresses your face. How pleasant! In the afternoon, head to Jianshui Ancient City and take a city walk with a local guide. Walking on the bluestone road, the streets are filled with the aroma of Jianshui tofu and steamed chicken pot. Have a taste and you will be instantly healed by the everyday life. DAY3: The romance of the Dian-Vietnam Railway and the poetry of Puzhehei In the morning, head to Lin'an Station and take the century-old Dian-Vietnam Railway train departing at 9:00. Feel the romantic wait in the old days while enjoying the breeze. In the afternoon, arrive at Puzhehei, which is a picture privately hidden by nature, with more than 80 lakes scattered around and more than 200 karst hills scattered in an orderly manner. Climb Qinglong Mountain and overlook the panoramic view of Puzhehei. At sunset, the whole world is dyed a gentle orange color. DAY4: Explore Qingqiu and encounter the "Provence" of central Yunnan In the morning, go to find the filming location of Eternal Love, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms [Qingqiu]. The stone slab road winds through the mountains, as if you are really walking into the world of immortals. In the afternoon, go to Mile Dongfengyun Art Town, where the unique buildings made of red bricks are full of artistic sense. When the lavender is in full bloom in summer, this place is the "Provence" of central Yunnan, and the photos are super beautiful. DAY5: A leisurely farewell trip in Mile In the morning, enjoy free time at the hotel, then go to Dongfengyun Art Town to stroll around, feel the integration of art and life in the "red brick castle", and then embark on the return journey, bringing home full of wonderful memories. Travel tips: 1. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Yunnan is large, so remember to bring a light jacket. 2. There are many mosquitoes in Puzhehei, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent. 3. There are many delicacies in Jianshui Ancient City, but those with sensitive stomachs should be careful not to overeat to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. 4. Taking photos in Dongfengyun Art Town is very photogenic, so you can prepare some brightly colored clothes to make the photos even more beautiful. This niche route perfectly avoids the peak of tourist crowds, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful scenery and deeply experience the local customs and culture. Hurry up and save it, and you will be the next travel blogger who is asked about it in your social circle!
