Only one hour from Kunming, even those without a car can easily visit Fuxian Lake!

1 hour from Kunming, for those who don't have a car, the lying-flat style of play at Fuxian Lake has fewer people than Erhai Lake and is cheaper than Lugu Lake! Fuxian Lake - the hidden glass sea in Yunnan. Local villagers told me that this place has only gradually become known to the outside world in the past two years. As China's largest deep-water freshwater lake, Fuxian Lake has a visibility of 8 meters. There is a thousand-year-old ancient city hidden underwater, but it is missed by 90% of tourists because of its low-key nature. A car-free person tested it, 80 yuan per person unlocks the healing gameplay👇 🚗【Transportation Guide】 My friend and I don’t have a car, we don’t know how to drive, and it’s not cost-effective to rent a car. In the end, we went there by hitchhiking, which cost 160 yuan for two people. The driver told us that there is not much to do on the east bank of Fuxian Lake, so we can go to the west bank. 📍Navigation destination: Mingxing Fish Cave Scenic Area. 🔹Actual experience: Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a chartered car for a quick tour around the lake, it is better to find a place with a good view and choose a favorite corner to relax. This is perfect for those who want to slow down and seek healing. 🔹Recommendation 1. [Turn right at the entrance of the Mingxing Fish Cave Scenic Area and take over the unmanned lakeshore] ·🎫The ticket is 15 yuan. After entering the gate, turn right and walk against the flow of people. There is a quiet forest with almost no tourists. It is strongly recommended to stand by the lake and listen to Li Jian's "Fuxian Lake" and watch the lake water gradually change from azure blue to amber; 📷Shooting position: Shoot sideways against the light at 3-4 pm, and the lake water is full of diamond spots 🔹Recommendation 2 [My favorite corner for relaxation: Lake View Cafe] 200 meters away from the entrance of the scenic area, Seain Coffee☕️ second floor: floor-to-ceiling glass windows + hand-brewed coffee + Basque cake = relaxation set meal 🔹Recommendation 3 [Food crit with locals' directions] After sitting in the cafe until the sun sets, if you are hungry, it is recommended to walk to the nearby "Mingxing Fish Village" 1 km away to eat copper pot fish and potato rice. The scenery of Fuxian Lake is all the way, and you will also pass by a large field of sunflowers. 🍴Recommended restaurant in Star Fish Village: Star Fish Village Copper Pot Fish, recommended by scenic spot staff, it is very delicious and the potato rice is amazing. Two people finished a whole pot for just over 100 yuan. 🔹Recommendation 4 [Only locals go, free wild rock beach, the scenery is better than the scenic spot] Go straight from the small road opposite the hotel → turn right at the end → cross the small hill, you will find a wild rock beach, the scenery is better than the scenic spot! Here we met some locals, a young father and son, and a middle-aged uncle. During the casual conversation with them, I heard many stories: "My Guizhou wife ran away with someone", "Tourists can't eat anti-wave fish now, because private fishing is prohibited", "You can stay for one night and try the fish we secretly caught tomorrow morning"... In addition to seeing the scenery, getting to know the lives of local people is the meaning of travel 💡【Other Tips】 ● Outfit: White skirt + straw hat, take pictures of the atmosphere of "Little Mediterranean", my friend and I dressed too urbane, so the pictures are not very good😭 ● Avoid pitfalls: refuse all cruise sales! Sitting quietly and watching the lake is the ultimate enjoyment
