Never take the cable car to the West Mountain on July 2nd.

#travelinginchina Never take the cable car to the Western Hills! Climb instead! I still prefer hiking; it would be even better if there were fewer people. Took a taxi to the Kunming Tourist Cable Car entrance and bought a one-way Dianchi Cable Car ticket for 60 yuan per person. ① Took the enclosed cable car to the opposite side of Dianchi Lake. ② Bought a combo ticket for the Longmen Scenic Area entrance, uphill electric car, downhill one-way open cable car, and downhill bus for 77.5 yuan per person. ③ Then started the electric car ride for a few minutes. ④ Hiked to the Lingxu Pavilion for over two hours and enjoyed the view. ⑤ Descended to the Longmen Cable Car in half an hour, and took the cable car for about ten minutes. ⑥ Went down to visit Nie Er's Tomb. ⑦ Waited for the bus, which stopped twice in ten minutes before reaching the final destination. ⑧ After getting off, the road on the right led to the Western Hills Metro Station, and a few steps away were the Caiyun Flower Street and the Chamahua Street. Chamahua Street was livelier with more barbecue and a strong festive atmosphere, while Caiyun Flower Street was quieter, but it was easier to hail a taxi on the road in front of it. In summary, from buying the Dianchi Cable Car ticket at 12:42 to getting off the bus at 16:30, it almost took four hours. There were many elderly people on the way. The hiking process was really enjoyable, with a light sweat throughout, and my skin felt much better today when I woke up. #familytrip #historicallandmarks #localguides
