Coming in June-July, I totally regretted it—never expected the lotus flower banquet to be so delicious and photogenic.

Puzhehei, a place whose name sounds like "plain and black" but is actually stunningly beautiful. This isn’t the African savanna but a hidden paradise in Yunnan, so picturesque that shows like "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Eternal Love" couldn’t resist filming here. Transport Tips: Take the high-speed train from Kunming to Puzhehei Station—just 1.5 hours, faster than waiting for takeout. After arrival, hiring a private car is recommended since the attractions are as scattered as your ex’s attention. Top 3 Must-Visit Spots: 1. Qinglong Mountain: A 20-minute hike rewards you with panoramic views—a lazy traveler’s dream. At sunrise, Puzhehei emerges through the morning mist like a filtered masterpiece. 2. Xianrendong Village: A Yi ethnic village with earthy yellow houses so photogenic they need no filters. Evenings feature bonfire parties—brush up on your square-dancing moves! 3. Swan Lake: Home to actual black swans! Their grace might make you question your own walking posture. Hidden Gems: - Boat water fights: Rent a boat for ¥200 and splash through lotus fields—prepare to get soaked! - Rice paddy fishing: Play farmer for half an hour and leave with three tiny fish and a mud makeover. Food Guide: 1. Lotus Banquet: Lotus-leaf rice, fried lotus flowers—eating these will make you feel ethereal. 2. Sour Fish Soup: More tangy than your ex—pair it with local water celery. 3. Yi Barbecue: Nighttime skewers in Xianrendong Village come with Yi drinking songs—watch your alcohol intake! Accommodation: - For Instagrammable stays, book scenic B&Bs (pricey but with views straight out of a painting). - Budget travelers can stay in Qiubei County—¥100 gets you decent digs. Pro Tips: 1. June-August offers peak lotus blooms but also crowds—be ready to fight for photo spots. 2. SUNSCREEN! The UV here will make you live up to Puzhehei’s "black" name. 3. Bring student IDs for discounts—every penny counts. Final reminder: Clear your phone storage! Every shot here is wallpaper-worthy. After visiting, you’ll agree: Puzhehei is anything but plain—it’s beautifully, profoundly "black"!
