Hidden domestic treasure travel destination|Puzhehei
It's the most treasured off-the-beaten-path place I've visited recently! There aren't so many internet-famous spots to check in here, it's most suitable to quietly experience the local customs after being busy.
After May 1st is the off-season, the local villagers say that May and June are the hotter seasons, and they recommend July and August when it's cooler and the lotus flowers are in full bloom~
Transportation: It takes about an hour by high-speed train from Kunming to Puzhehei Station. Turn right at the exit of the station to reach the bus station, and take the No. 8 bus to the end station which is inside the Puzhehei Scenic Area.
Travel: There are commuter sightseeing buses inside the scenic area, and there are stops at each attraction which is very suitable for traveling with children. If you are friends or couples, I highly recommend renting a small motorcycle or an electric car with a small shed. You can rent it for a whole day for a few tens of yuan during the off-season, and it's very convenient to shuttle between the villages.
Wake up naturally, eat a bowl of local rice noodles in the village, walk to the Liqiao Coffee by the lake, and have a cup of coffee with the lake view
After a nap in the afternoon, go to the Qinglongshan Wharf or Pucuotang Wharf to take a boat around the whole lake, have a water fight, sunbathe, and feel completely refreshed!
You can directly follow the sign to climb Qinglong Mountain and watch the sunset from the top after getting off the boat from Qinglongshan Wharf. It only takes about 40 minutes to reach the top.
In the evening, you can go to Xianrendong Village or Puzhehei Village to taste the local special dishes. There are many homestays to choose from here. The conditions are really good for two to three hundred in the off-season. I recommend Xianyun Courtyard with a whole floor-to-ceiling window for viewing.
Just a weekend can purify the soul that has been busy and irritable for a whole week of workdays!!! Highly recommended!!!
Amazing Puzhehei

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.
jacskson's wonderful world. I love the south of the earth, I love Pu'erhei at 24° north latitude!
I love the south of the earth, I love Pu'erhei at 24° north latitude
I never thought I would come to Pu'erhei three times in one month!
Before coming here, I just finished a three-month backpacking trip in Europe. I spent a month in southern Italy, I love the Mediterranean coast, delicious food and wine, people are passionate! Yunnan land, red land, 24° north latitude, like Egypt, north of the Tropic of Cancer, hot, free...
Pu'erhei, in Yi language "fish and shrimp full pond", I have seen it with my own eyes, the first morning, I woke up naturally and early, by the lake, fishermen caught a lot of fresh silver fish (picture 1), you can eat fried small fish in any restaurant.
Breakfast, or Brunch, Ersi rice noodles or noodles to choose from, or three-in-one, 10 yuan for two kinds of meat, 15 yuan for three kinds of meat, 30 yuan for seven kinds of meat, this is the most nutritious breakfast I have ever seen in China, what porridge buns steamed bread, simply weak, for me, a person who has been using his own combination of so-called Western breakfast for more than ten years, because I think , and is the best time to get together with family (my combination is coffee tea milk yogurt orange juice nuts fruit vegetable salad fried egg European bread toast…….), Pu'erhei's breakfast also meets people's daily nutritional needs, literary youth choose 10 yuan, local Zhuang strong man who needs to do heavy work for a day choose 30 yuan, share a table and eat together.
During spring plowing, farmers go out with their families, roll up their trousers, and work in the fertile mud!
There are more details here, in my heart, it is original, local, it is not labeled, it is still itself!
Puzhehei to Qinglong Mountain
Puzhehei to Qinglong Mountain to Three Lives Three Worlds
The most important scenic spot on the eastern route of Yunnan is Puzhehei. The Lover's Bridge is the most familiar and most visited. You can walk to the night market and watch the sunset, or take a horse-drawn carriage to Qinglong Mountain. The scenery is endless on Lover's Bridge.
Qinglong Mountain is not very high, with an altitude of over 500 meters. It is a bit steep and slippery, so it is recommended to wear non-slip sneakers. It takes more than an hour to climb to the top of the mountain. You can overlook the Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, see the endless mountains, and see the special lotus pond. This is refreshing and only when you climb to the top of the mountain can you truly feel it.

Puzhehei | Don't come here!!
|Don't come here!! Because you won't want to leave once you're here!!
I love this place where I can be free and relaxed~
The simple aunt, the unfiltered scenery, the college students who are painting, the panoramic glass coffee shop, I accidentally stayed for two days and didn't want to leave
We live in Xianrendong Village, which is more primitive than Puzhehei Village. There are not many vehicles. It is better to bring children.
In September, Puzhehei did not have lotus flowers, but it did not affect other beautiful scenery. There were fewer people and it was very quiet. The weather was also very comfortable. It was a bit cooler in the morning and evening.
When we came, we were afraid that it would keep raining. In fact, it would not rain a little bit and then it would be gone. I felt that I didn't need to bring an umbrella.
For food, we ate fried lotus, lotus fish, sour soup beef. The sour soup beef is simply delicious. The lotus fish has a fishy smell. If you can't stand it, it is recommended not to eat

Occasionally, the chirping of birds pierces the silence, highlighting the vibrant life of nature.

First time in Puzhehei | Far beyond my imagination
| Far beyond my imagination. Puzhehei is a village surrounded by green mountains and dotted with clear waters.
Taking a small willow boat through one lotus pond after another,
immersed in fields, lakes, and green mountains.
From June to August is the season when lotus flowers bloom in Puzhehei.
A sea of green dotted with countless pink flowers.
Strolling through the fields of Puzhehei,
you can capture the mesmerizing scenery to your heart's content.
For accommodation, I chose the Yabei Jing She Hotel in Puzhehei Village,
near the Lovers' Bridge.
From the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the room,
you can see the lotus pond, green mountains, and white clouds reflecting each other.
The room has a traditional Chinese rustic decor,
with a large enough area and comfortable bedding.
The food is also very delicious.
We had a lotus feast here,
which was both visually appealing and tasty.
The public area also has billiards and board games that children love to play.
The location is excellent, right next to the Lovers' Bridge.
Whether going to Qinglong Mountain or taking a boat at the pier, it's very close.

👍 The key point is that the hotel has many hidden skills:

Before coming, I didn't understand the meaning of the hotel's name, but after arriving, I realized the deep affection that makes it hard to leave. This trip, 'Yunlishe' is my destination, and all the scenery I wanted is here~

On the hill gently caressed by the morning light, the clouds at the horizon are tinged with a faint golden edge, as if it were a masterpiece casually painted by nature's brush. A gentle breeze brings the fragrance of distant flower fields, mingling with the freshness of the earth, making one involuntarily take a deep breath, storing this tranquility and beauty in the heart.
Following the winding path, we stepped into this forest tenderly treated by time. Sunlight filters through the treetops, casting dappled shadows on the ground, like scattered starlight, guiding us to explore the unknown mysteries. The brook in the forest flows gently, crystal clear, reflecting the surrounding lush greenery, seemingly capable of cleansing the dust from the soul.
As night falls, stars dot the sky, and the Milky Way spans the heavens. By the tranquil lakeside, we found a piece of the starry sky that belongs to us. The lake surface is like a mirror, reflecting the celestial river above, making one intoxicated by the boundless universe. In this expanse, we felt the stillness of time and the infinite tranquility and strength bestowed by nature.
Every journey is a baptism of the soul. In this scenery, we not only saw the magnificence of nature but also felt the beauty of harmonious coexistence with the world. Let us cherish every opportunity to encounter nature, feel with our hearts, and protect with love, for this world is worth loving with all our hearts.
