Yangzonghai is a large lake. The place I went to is on the beach in front of Fuli Bay. To be precise, it is a wetland park. When I went to Yangzonghai, it happened to be a cloudy day. Generally speaking, the lake is more beautiful when it is sunny. I didn't expect that the cloudy day would be a pool of clouds, I really don't know whether it is in the sky or on the ground, it's very dreamy! Many people took small national flags and took pictures on small sailboats during the National Day. There is a very intimate green grass blanket, where you can relax and set up a tent in a daze. The most fun thing should be cycling. There are three or four people riding, and there are also electric cars. Many parents took their children, barefoot in the shallow beach, scooping up small fish with a spoon, it's fun! There is also an area designated as a fishing area, and fishing friends should be very happy to be free 🚉Traffic strategy: If you drive by yourself, it is at the gate of Fuli Bay Community. There is a large sandy parking lot, which is easy to park. Although it is not free, it is very cheap. 🍽Restaurant recommendation: On the left hand side of the road from the parking lot to the beach, there are many family restaurants. The most common one is rice noodles. A bowl of sauerkraut and minced meat for ten yuan is not bad. There are also many roasted potatoes and sausages, which are cost-effective.

Don't navigate to Hai Bian Village or Hai Tou Village, you can't get in now! Kunming self-driving: about 1 hour to reach (very friendly to motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts~) Important!!! About 4.4 kilometers from the navigation endpoint, there is a vehicle entry barrier when entering the ring road, indicating that motor vehicles are prohibited. Enter from the left side of the pole and press the mud slowly. Cars and small SUVs can pass (Although not very friendly, it is too far to walk in) About 1 kilometer from the endpoint, vehicles are not allowed to enter, park on the side of the road, continue walking through a tunnel, and the S-curve is ahead 1. There is no shade in the S-curve, it is exposed to the sun! Be sure to do sunscreen~ 2. There are no food and water vendors along the way, it is best to bring your own. There are only a few barbecue restaurants, which need to be booked in advance. There is a coffee shop near the end of the road

People are naturally close to the water, just like spring to the flower garden, and autumn to the mountains and forests. For Kunming, an inland plateau city, the sea is a bit far away, but there are still some "near-water places", which are like the sea but not the sea, and have a different mood. People in Yunnan are used to calling the big lake "sea". Dali has Erhai, and Kunming has Yangzonghai. As one of the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan, Yangzonghai has the reputation of "Minghu Chengbi Plateau Pearl" and is known as the "back garden" of Kunming people. Recently, a section of the S-shaped walkway of the Yangzonghai Greenway around the lake has become popular. When the weather is good, the sun is sprinkled on the blue lake like gold powder, and the sparkling waves instantly shine into billions of diamonds. Rent an electric car to go around the lake, it is like stealing a time outside of time, it is very comfortable. Sometimes I feel that the meaning of life is just like this, naturally following the changes of the seasons, breaking the remaining meaningless monotony and complexity with a series of subtle rituals.

🌄 Early bird catches the worm? No, it catches the breathtaking sunrise! Yangzonghai day trip starts with the first ray of sunshine in the early morning. The best viewing time? 🕒 Of course, it's at sunrise. Standing by the lake, the golden sunlight sprinkles over the shimmering water, and at that moment, time seems to stand still. 🚗 Transportation tips: Departing from Kunming city, driving directly is the most convenient option. Navigate to "Yangzonghai Scenic Area" and enjoy the eye-catching scenery along the approximately 1-hour drive.

The park is only suitable for self-driving tours about 40km away from Kunming city center. Navigate to Waterfront Wetland Park, and you'll find parking lots on both sides after entering. Keep walking to the left inside the park, and you'll see a large grassland and Yangzong Lake. The water here is very clear. The wetland parks in Kunming's city area, like those around Dian Lake, don't have such good water quality. Lying on the grass for an afternoon, just thinking about it feels so comfortable!! Lie down and have a beautiful dream~ Look at that expanse of green grass, it's like nature's velvet blanket, so soft to step on, it feels so comfortable~ The lake surface is shimmering, occasionally a few water birds fly by, leaving behind ripples, like a flowing painting! The air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and flowers, as if it can wash away all worries~ It's said to be the most beautiful wetland park in Kunming!! The photos truly are beautiful. The entire wetland park is close to a power station (that's the big chimney you see in the photos); the hotel at the entrance is built in a style that mimics the architecture of Santorini in Greece; the environment is very special, and with the large lawn, it's very photogenic. The grass grows very well, like a natural lawn carpet. You can camp here. Besides that, the surrounding facilities are not very well developed. The hotel at the entrance is unfinished, and occasionally wild ducks fly over the sea, suitable for distant viewing; near the shore, there are large rocks which are not suitable for playing in the water; there are too many ants on the shore, really need to be careful!! For dining, you can go to Tangchi Town, about 4 kilometers away.

Kunming city center is just an hour away from this resort destination🌴 The scenery is truly amazing, giving off a strong vibe of a mini Sanya Under the backdrop of Yangzonghai, the sparsely populated palm tree walkway, the sunken white sofas next to the Thai-style wooden houses, make for superb photo opportunities💛 🤩Who would have thought this is just the outdoor view of the Bolian Hot Springs? . What's even more astonishing is the Thai-style spa hot springs♨️ Different from other hot springs, Bolian Hot Springs has a unique architectural style Right at the entrance, you're greeted with a full-on classical Thai ambiance that makes you feel incredibly relaxed🥰 💯The service inside is the most praiseworthy, with every staff member being exceptionally polite and enthusiastic～ The hot spring is surrounded by lush vegetation, which looks even more verdant in spring🌿 Once you enter, you feel totally chill With over 20 different sized pools, you can enjoy the sea view while soaking in the hot springs It's enough to relieve all the fatigue🉑 . 📍Address: Kunming Bolian SPA Hot Springs 🎫Ticket: ¥178 per person (meals not included)

Take a one-hour drive from Kunming to play in this lovely little courtyard. In a village near Yangzonghai Lake Hides a charming little courtyard camping site The courtyard is clean and every corner is well decorated, and you can also feed small animals which makes children extremely happy. Cherry Blossom Camping Farm: 50min from downtown, reservation required There's barbecue/grill pots and also a surrounding stove for brewing tea.

During the Spring Festival holiday, I had my first encounter with Yangzong Lake, a place I had heard of but never seen before. Taking the elderly and children out to see the world, and incidentally checking out the lakeside trail and the actual situation of the Yunnan-Burma Railway, to prepare for this year's hiking. The starting point of the lakeside trail is Shijiaozui, a peninsula paved with gravel. To the right of the peninsula are steep cliffs with mid-mountain villas, and in front is the misty lake surface, where flocks of bare-headed ducks float on the water, and a few red-billed gulls circle overhead. Distant mountains, mist, the calm lake surface, and flying birds sketch a tranquil and harmonious landscape painting. At the front end of the peninsula, a quaint stone-paved path extends into the lake through the gravel beach, dividing it in two, yet adding a bit more interest. People on the stone beach are chasing fun, feeding gulls and taking photos, flying drones, or simply sitting in groups under the shade of trees, staring at the lake in a daze. I simply squatted by the water, picked up stones on the spot, and built a small stone tower, listening to the gentle lapping of the waves, and revisiting the carefree mindset of childhood. Around the left side of the peninsula, facing the thermal power plant. The tall chimneys and large cooling towers sit quietly on the opposite shore. The sudden appearance of industrial buildings in the natural landscape brings a significant visual impact. The development process of humanity is one of self-correction, and sometimes the cost is high, as was the pollution of Yangzong Lake in previous years. After more than a decade of introspection and remediation, everything seems to have returned to balance, and I sincerely hope that everything can truly return to balance... Behind the peninsula, the garden is lush with trees, very suitable for picnicking in the shade. The trail leads down to the Overseas Chinese Town base. The entire Overseas Chinese Town is divided into upper and lower parts, with a flower sea and lawn built against the mountain on the left side of the road, and several train carriages parked on the right side, painted with graffiti, full of artistic flair. The blue-roofed and white-walled buildings inside the base are very reminiscent of the style of Santorini. The idle hotel looks beautiful but carries a bit of desolation, telling the story of the hardships and bumps in the real estate development of Yangzong Lake over the years. On the side, there are several amusement parks suitable for children to play, and behind the hotel is the brand new lakeside trail, with lush greenery on both sides. I heard in January that the lakeside trail was connected and really wanted to come and see it in person. It's a great trail that should be included in the plan early . Finally, we drove to Yiliang to end the trip with the much-anticipated Yiliang roast duck, a short and refined outing that made the elderly happy, with only the teenagers feeling bored . 🚉【Traffic Strategy】 Drive from the south of Kunming, take the South Ring Expressway ~ Shangkun Expressway ~ Sanaluminum Road ~ Fukun Road to reach R&F Bay. 100 meters from R&F Bay community, there is a huge public parking lot 🅿️ on the right side of the road. Exit the parking lot, turn right and walk to the gate of R&F Bay community, then turn left and you will see the two-color trail (if you can't find it, ask the security guards or staff). The trail passes through the R&F Bay villa area, and the end is Shijiaozui - a man-made small stone beach. 💾About Yangzong Lake Yangzong Lake, the third deepest freshwater lake in Yunnan, has a lake surface elevation of 1770 kilometers, a water surface area of 31 square kilometers, a storage capacity of 600 million cubic meters, a basin area of 192 square kilometers, and an average depth of 20 meters. It spans the junction of Chengjiang, Chenggong, and Yiliang, and is a fault-trap lake. Yangzong Lake was anciently known as Daze, Yixiu Lake. It was named Yangzong Lake in the Southern Song Dynasty, called 'Dachi' in Yuan, and also known as 'Tangchi' because of the hot springs on one side, and Ming Lake in Ming. The downstream water system belongs to the Nanpan River Pearl River system. The tribulation of Yangzong Lake The trajectory of human development always begins with excessive demands on nature due to greed, and Yangzong Lake was no exception. In the industrial development wave from the late 90s to the 20s, industrial and domestic wastewater was discharged without restraint, severely polluting the water body, and Yangzong Lake, once a highland pearl, was innocently turned into a forbidden lake. After 12 years of management, with huge financial, human, and material resources, the water quality has been restored from class 5 to class 2. Everything has its good and bad sides, and perhaps it is these years of seclusion and cultivation that have allowed Yangzong Lake to recover from severe damage and gain more of a serene charm. Hello, Yangzong Lake, everything will get better, looking forward to seeing you again Thoughts 1. The plateau region is rich in ultraviolet rays, so do good sun protection before going out. 2. In addition to the lake, Yangzong Lake also has many hot springs to enjoy.

⏳Tour Time: Half a day's time is enough to go around the lake 🗓Itinerary: Depart from Kunming, it is recommended to go to the south first, navigate to the north gate of Fuli Bay, after parking, walk in, it is the internet celebrity photo spot. If you arrive at noon, you can have a meal at the nearby Balian Hot Spring Hotel💰💰💰The scenery inside and outside the restaurant is very good. In the afternoon, you can go around the north to the east of Spring City Lakeside, the hotel scenery is very good. The southernmost is a wetland park, but I didn't see anything, I guess it's winter, the season is wrong. 🌟Highlights: Suitable for weekend outdoor walks, activities, sunbathing, wind blowing, good air.

The newly built lakeside beach in Yang Zonghai is very beautiful. Bring some food and move a chair to sit there all afternoon, and seagulls keep flying by. The water quality in Yangzonghai is now much better than before, and there are still many people going there to play. You can take photos in the morning or at sunset, with the lake as the background, and you can capture this feeling of loneliness. Location: Navigate to R&F Bay in Kunming. Follow the road and you will reach the lake. Protect the environment and please do not litter. The recorder of romantic life travels around Kunming to take photos at the beach.
