There are many lotus flowers, and the blue sky and white clouds reflect the mountains and rivers. Just taking a picture can turn it into a painting. ⭐️There are also many lotus flowers at Shuangjiashan Pier, and it is better to take pictures of the flowers alone. ⭐️Xianren Cave Village is similar to a small ancient town, so you can just take a quick stroll around. . 🌄Check-in attractions 1️⃣ Swan Lake🦢 Ticket price 85r/person, the whole journey is nearly 3 kilometers, it is quite comfortable to walk around the lake, there are small bridges, swans and flowers on the road💐 2️⃣ Xianren Cave Village A very primitive village, very good for taking photos📷 2️⃣ Qingqiu Painting Wall 90r/person, divided into water wall and land wall, not very recommended, similar to other lava caves 3️⃣ Willow Leaf Boat🍃 130r/person, willow leaf shape, hand-rowed, dare not imagine how beautiful it will be when the lotus blooms! !

It’s very chill watching the small boats coming and going on the lake. It rains here in showers🌦️. It is very healing to listen to the sound of rain by the lotus pond on rainy days. Sometimes it even rains in the sun. You can experience the different beauty of sunny and rainy days in one day. Even when it rains, there will be people holding umbrellas to watch the lotus flowers and row boats, which is very romantic💗.

The battery car takes you to see the same general black Puzhehei, known as "the dream of the horizon, the world Yaochi", because "Daddy where to go" and red, and because of the beauty of "Sansheng San Shili Peach Blossom" The world, from June to August every year, 10,000 acres of lotus flowers bloom, is the most beautiful season here. From Guangzhou, take the high-speed train and visit the fairyland of Puzhehei for three days and two nights. At 7:00 in the morning, departure from Guangzhou South High-speed Railway Station, arrive at Puzhehei Station at 2 pm, then take the shuttle bus directly to Puzhehei Village. It is also the center of the scenic spot. The hotel is full of restaurants, convenient to eat and stay, and put down at the hotel. Luggage, take a break and watch the sunset at Qinglong Mountain. Located in the middle of the Puzhehei Black Lake, Qinglong Mountain is an excellent viewing platform overlooking the black beauty of the Puzhehei. It takes only ten minutes to walk from Puzhehei Village. The mountain is not too high. It takes only 20 minutes to climb the summit. Looking down from the observation deck on the top of the mountain, you can see the green mountains like Guilin's mountains and rivers scattered like a bonsai in a pool of clear water. The nearby willow boats are arranged in beautiful patterns, waiting for tourists to ride. The next morning, rent a battery car and just hang out, this is the best way to see the black landscape. The first stop is to go to the cauliflower. This is the location of the Qingqiu Peach Blossom Island in the Sansheng III. The scenery is as beautiful as a spring breeze. The fox who entered the peach blossom source stopped here. Before you get to Caicai Village, you may be a computer-synthesized scene in the TV series. It is only after this that you know that the original "Qingqiu" is real. Then drive the battery car along the lotus road all the way, enjoy the 10,000 acres of lotus flowers on both sides, and head toward the direction of the pendulum lake. There are local people laying a plank road, going deep into the lotus pond, providing photos for tourists, only a few dollars can be taken to the middle of the lotus pond Beautiful photos. There is a small town not far from the scenic spot, where lunch is affordable and delicious. Continue to the direction of the pendulum lake, all the way to the field, and many villagers planted pomegranate trees, we stopped to ask if we can buy a little, the simple villagers said that you should pick it yourself, no money! In the evening, we arrived at the Cat Cat Chong. Due to the distance from the core scenic spots, few people set foot and retained the most original beauty. Millions of acres of lotus flowers sprinkled on the surface of the water, lotus leaves green, diverse colors, slim. When the sun sets, the pointed mountains are far away, the sunset is over, and the lotus field is nearby. Unfortunately, the clouds I came to are too thick, only seeing half of the sunset, the sun is thicker when it is halfway. The clouds are covered, but the sunset and sunset reflected in the water are pretty good. Dinner can be eaten in the nearby villages and is more affordable than the core area. On the third morning, you can watch the sunrise on Qinglong Mountain, then wander around Puzhehei Village. At noon, you can return to the high-speed railway station and return to Guangzhou by car.

Puzhehei is a summer retreat worth visiting multiple times. I've been there many times, and my kids always look forward to going back. 📍: Puzhehei Scenic Area 🚉Transportation: Direct high-speed train from Kunming Upon arrival, kids will love the tram, sightseeing bus, and even horse-drawn carriages. 🏨Hotel: Puzhehei Muke Qianxun Boutique Resort Beautiful scenery, a swimming pool, delicious breakfast, premium fruits, and stunning night views. 🧳Packing Tips: Bring sandals and a hat. Having visited many times, I rarely go to the paid attractions. Instead, I enjoy the untouched nature—morning and evening walks, hiking, admiring rice fields, feeling the breeze, viewing lotus flowers, and savoring rice noodles while the kids splash around in water fights. Many complain Puzhehei is overpriced and commercialized, but since I go for the lakes and mountains, I skip the paid spots. The rural landscapes alone are breathtaking. If you're looking for an action-packed "special forces" style trip, I don’t recommend it—attractions are scattered and mostly charge fees, even for simple activities like boating (costing hundreds) or taking photos of lotuses. But if you want a leisurely vacation with family, Puzhehei is Yunnan’s top hidden gem. The local snacks are reasonably priced for a tourist area.
