Today is the first popular online attraction I encountered this time. There are indeed quite a lot of people, and it is no wonder that there are so many people. How should I put it? The scenery of Puzhehei is naturally not bad, but I always feel that something is wrong. Maybe I shouldn’t come alone. Qingqiu Kingdom, Zhuxiantai, Shedeyuan, each name always makes people think of love. Although I haven’t watched this drama, if there is really three lives and three worlds, would I be willing to choose the same person to accompany me from beginning to end? I can’t say. I hope that when I am old, looking at the lover next to me, I can give a positive answer. Love is always worth believing.

"The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun." When the beautiful artistic conception of this poem unfolds in reality, Puzhehei, this picturesque place, quietly walks into my heart.

The landscape of Puzhehei is like an ink painting drawn by nature with the most delicate brushstrokes. The rolling karst mountains are like green giants, quietly guarding this land. The lake is crystal clear, like a huge mirror, reflecting the sky, mountains and green trees on the shore. The breeze blows, the waves sparkle, and the scenery is beautiful. When boating on the lake, you can truly feel the beauty of "the boat is sailing on the blue waves, and people are swimming in the painting".

Traffic tips:

You can choose to take the high-speed rail to Puzhehei Station. After exiting the station, there are many ways to get to the scenic spot, such as taking a taxi or taking bus line 8, the fare is 5 yuan, and the special bus during peak hours is 10 yuan. If you have enough time, self-driving is also a good choice, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.



The delicacies of Puzhehei are also not to be missed. The chicken in lotus leaves is tender and juicy, with the faint fragrance of lotus leaves, which makes people linger. The fish in lotus leaves is delicious, and the unique seasoning makes it taste great. There are also various delicacies made with lotus, such as lotus fried eggs, lotus porridge, etc., which are not only delicious but also have health-preserving effects.



Best time to travel: June to August is the period when thousands of acres of lotus flowers are in full bloom. If you come to Puzhehei Village at this time, you can see the most beautiful lotus scenery.



Tips for avoiding pitfalls: The scenery is relatively monotonous during the non-lotus season (November to April), so be careful when going there. Do not climb Qinglong Mountain on rainy days, as the stone steps are slippery and unsafe. Purchase tickets through official channels and refuse to solicit customers on the roadside. In addition, remember to bring high-factor sunscreen, waterproof mobile phone bag, seasickness medicine and mosquito repellent spray.

The lake view is average before the summer when the lotus flowers bloom!

Every June and July, when the lotus flowers bloom, Puzhehei is as beautiful as a fairy mirror.

It’s so beautiful, a paradise on earth. It’s definitely worth renting a small electric scooter.

By Old Tour |

The winding Puzhehei River meanders from the mountains in the distance. The golden clouds are reflected on the water without a single ripple, adding a little enthusiasm to the tranquility. The water and the sky are one color, but the movement and stillness are distinct. The clouds are becoming more and more gorgeous, dazzling golden yellow, cool orange, passionate red, and gorgeous orange, changing unpredictably and drifting. This is the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen in my life, no doubt about it.

Soon, the sky became bright, with thin white clouds, the lake like a silver mirror, the vast distant mountains, the vast fields, the quiet villages, and the tranquility.

By Gentleman Blue |

What a magnificent landscape painting: picturesque mountains and clear waters, boats sailing on the clear waters; wind blowing wheat waves, sunflowers facing the sun. It should be said that the picturesque scenery before my eyes satisfied all my expectations for Puzhehei. The boat floated gently in the water, and a cool breeze blew in my face. Lotus flowers were everywhere, and this landscape of mountains, waters, forests, fields and lakes integrated into one is unique to Puzhehei.

By Yan Wind |

I didn't go to the paid scenic spots, but the surrounding area is beautiful. The hygiene is really not good. The hotel on-site payment is much cheaper than online booking. The electric motorcycle rental is 20 yuan per hour, and it can be negotiated to 15 yuan, 50 yuan a day. It is very convenient to go around by motorcycle. The ultraviolet rays are very strong, so I can only go out in the morning and evening.

The natural scenery is nice, but the management and development are a bit shabby

By The journey is long for us |

The morning of the second day in Puzhehei was cloudy, the light was dim, the mist and rain were hazy, the mountains in the distance were looming, and the reflections in the water were hazy. Puzhehei's landscape presents a vast artistic conception! At 7 o'clock in the morning on the third day in Puzhehei, I came to the same scene. The sky was clear, but the light was weak. The sky was light blue. The mountains in the near distance were clear, and the mountains in the distance were vague. The reflections in the water were like ink splashing, showing the painting of ink and color. Approaching Puzhehei Lake at dusk, the sky illuminated the lake, and the mountains, waters, and sky were all the same color, which was very beautiful! At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, I took a boat to cruise the lake. The sky was blue, white clouds were floating, the lake was sparkling, the mountains were in the water, and the water was on the mountains. Tourists were in the beautiful scenery of mountains, waters, and sky! In late August, although tens of thousands of acres of lotus flowers had passed their peak flowering period in Puzhehei, the lake was still green and endless, and sparse lotus flowers, red or white, were dotted among the green leaves, which were very bright and dazzling. Lotus flowers are sprinkled on the water surface, and the lotus leaves are green, colorful, and graceful. Rowing through them, the fragrance is intoxicating. It is just like "rowing and looking far away, the painted boat goes into the depths of the flowers, and the fragrance floats in the golden cup". When rowing in the lotus fields, tourists are in a poetic and painting. Splashing water on each other when cruising the lake in summer is a major landscape of Puzhehei tourism. Before boarding the boat, everyone buys raincoats, buckets, basins and various water guns to prepare for the battle. Especially young people are very enthusiastic to splash water, splashing like a fairy scattering flowers, splashing like a waterfall, splashing like a sky and a dark sky. Therefore, you must be prepared to be soaked when cruising in Puzhehei.

The name of Little Guilin is not undeserved, the scenery is so beautiful.

Puzhehei Lake is the core attraction of the scenic area. It has beautiful scenery, clear water, and a perfect blend of natural scenery and pastoral scenery!

By Eriol |

After coming to Puzhehei, I feel that I have met it too late. It is so beautiful and full of fairy spirit. Here are some useful tips. First of all, in terms of transportation, the high-speed rail is recommended, but most of the starting points are at Kunming South Station, which is about an hour and a half away from the city center, so everyone must be careful. The high-speed rail at around 7 o'clock in the morning 🚄 needs to be taken with caution. The high-speed rail ticket is 75 yuan. After getting off the high-speed rail station, there is a bus station next to the scenic spot. The bus 🚌 is 5 yuan, and there are a lot of people. It is packed. The bus 🚍 has air conditioning and costs 10 yuan. There is one seat per person. You can choose it yourself. On the way back, there are stops in Puzhehei Village, Xianren Cave, and Swan Lake. However, don't walk too far out of the scenic area. The driver will not stop when it is full. The editor learned a lesson the hard way. #

Scenic spots: Actually, my favorite is the top of Qingqiu Mountain. Looking down, I feel like I am in a paradise. The second one is Swan Lake. There are really beautiful lakes and mountains on both sides, karst landforms, and beautiful lotus flowers. The various caves are a bit ordinary and creepy. The other lotus flowers are also good. The editor came to the wrong season. It should be in June and July. The lotus flowers are in full bloom. Now they are withered, but it’s okay. There is no ticket to enter the scenic area, but you need a ticket to take the boat. The ticket for Swan Lake is 85, and it costs 40 to buy a boat ticket. It’s a bit tasteless. Just take a look from the outside. #Puzhehei Village is not recommended. It’s a bit dirty and messy with too much horse manure.

Food: I think a lot of the food in the scenic area is regular snacks, fried potato cakes, Taiwanese grilled sausages, fried fish cakes, all good, but the others are not common sense~

Accommodation: I saw a lot of inns on the road, and I think they are not bad, so I can try them.

Expenses: The round trip fare plus meals cost about 250 yuan. The train departs at 9 am and returns to Kunming by high-speed train at 7 am. It's enough.

It was summer vacation, and although it was Monday, there were many tourists, carriages and private cars. There were already many willow-leaf boats in the river. When two boats met, they would start splashing water on each other. There were all kinds of tools, such as scoops, buckets, and water guns. The people on the boats had already put on raincoats and life jackets, ready for battle. The only drawback was that when we first arrived, it was a bit cloudy, and the photos were a bit dark, and the color of the water was not particularly good. The clouds were a bit scattered, and the lake was very blue under the light.

The lotus flowers are beautiful, the lake is beautiful, and the people playing water fights are having a blast. Not only are the people on the nearby boats playing water fights, but even when the boats pass through the bridge hole, they splash water with the people on the bridge. On the other side of the bridge are four children, who are having a great time playing water fights with the people on the boats under the bridge.

Walk to the Qinglongshan Wharf at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, and buy tickets at the ticket center to take a boat tour of the lake. There are many willow-leaf boats tied to the shore and many life jackets hung. Some boat owners are sitting in the boats chatting. There are many boats in the water.

The scenery is really nice. It is the season when lotus flowers are in full bloom. When I read Zhou Dunyi's "Love of Lotus" when I was a child, I thought that things and people are in harmony. People in Puzhehe must have the temperament of lotus. It's a pity that they can actually block the national highway and take it for themselves. You can rent an electric car and not let you drive around. Overdevelopment is full of commercial flavor.

By You go to Xiaoxiang and I go to Qin |

The photos are more beautiful than the actual scene, but the infrastructure is not perfect.

By Cotton is warm |

Take a stroll along the lotus pond in the countryside. It is said that in July and August, the lake is full of green lotus leaves and lotus flowers are in full bloom. This is the most beautiful time for Puzhehei. It is not the peak tourist season, so there are no tourists. There are many green boats moored by the lake.

By Puzhehei Cingjing Harajuku |

Puzhehei is not really black. The lotus flowers in Puzhehei have already bloomed.

The scenery is very pristine, but the government's planning is problematic and the infrastructure is not very good. It is generally better to arrange accommodation in the Gujingyuan area. When we went there, we stayed at the Fanhuazhixia Inn. The beautiful proprietress was from Chongqing and was very enthusiastic. She arranged the itinerary and chartered car very well. The dishes were very delicious. You can go to the riverside opposite to relax and drink tea. I am basically satisfied.

It's OK, the scenery is nice, the lake is clear, I went there for two days and had a good time

By hr let it be |

Going to Puzhehei, I didn't go boating (200 yuan), didn't go to the Swan Lake Scenic Area (more than 100 yuan), and there are a few caves (each cave ticket costs dozens of yuan). All other places are just for casual visits. When I went there, I didn't spend a penny on tickets, and I had a great time. This is also because I listened to the advice of the locals. Another reason is that if you go alone, you can only charter a boat, which is too cost-effective.

This is my second time going there. The first time was in March when I went alone. The second time was in July. It was the Torch Festival and the Mud Festival. I was very lucky. The scenery was really beautiful, quiet and leisurely. The people I met in Puzhehei Village were also very nice. It is a place worth visiting!

By xiaoxixi |

I went there when I was young. The water was very clear and the barbecue on the water was delicious. It happened to be the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, so I asked my friends to go there again. It was a pity. Although the scenery was still great, I would not go there again. First of all, it is too commercialized. It costs 200 yuan per person to row a boat, and I was splashed with water. Moreover, the route of the boat is not as long as I remember when I was a child. Secondly, the scenic spots are separated, and each place has to charge an entrance fee. I just calculated that if I went to all the scenic spots once, the ticket price would almost catch up with the ticket of Disney. Finally, the road in Puzhehei Village, where accommodation is concentrated, is being repaired. It is rotten and gray!

I came here about ten years ago. This time I felt that there were fewer lotus flowers. The lotus planting and management were not very good. But it was nice to walk around.

Puzhehei Lake is a plateau freshwater lake, 14 kilometers northwest of Jinping Town, Qiubei County, and northwest of Puzhehei Village, Shuanglongying Township. "Puzhehei" is a transliteration of the Yi language, "Puzhe" means fish and shrimp, and "Hei" means pond, which means "a pond full of fish and shrimp."

Puzhehei Lake is best visited from June to August, when the lotus flowers are in full bloom and the boat ride through it is like being in a paradise.

By Village chief climbs a tree |

Karst landforms are too common in the southwest region. The scenery here is not very special. The infrastructure is very backward. There are construction sites everywhere in the village, probably building houses and inns. Public transportation is very poor. I took a bus to the county town in the morning and waited for an hour. The bus was so crowded that it made people question life. Accommodation in the village is much more expensive than in the county town, and the conditions are average. There are many mosquitoes and almost no decent restaurants.

It feels like a tourist attraction that was hyped up by a certain program. There are a lot of people and it is not as good as expected, but you can also stop and look around quietly while rafting. There are also small boats selling grilled fish (there are so many bones...)

This heavily developed scenic spot is like a park in the city, clean and tidy. The entrance fee is expensive, including a boat ticket, the price of several caves, artificial boats, and karst landforms. I have seen a lot of them on the way to Guizhou. Here are just multiple lakes, and the scenery is average. You can see fishing in the afternoon and evening. It is not romantic fishing by casting nets, but fishing by pulling nets, and using electric rods to drive fish into the nets. The caves are slippery and easy to bump into. The road from the highway to the scenic spot is very well built, with a speed limit of 80. It is convenient for people to come, and the prices are also low. It is suitable to stay in the villa when there are not many people, and enjoy the quiet morning and evening by the lake with family and friends. Taking a boat around is not suitable here.

You can drive directly to the village of Puzhehei, but the main purpose of coming to Puzhehei is to relax. I personally recommend sightseeing and riding a horse-drawn carriage to enjoy the rural scenery! Then you have to go early to climb the mountain to see the panoramic view, and you have to go early or late to take the boat. You can choose to wander on the clear water in the morning and feel that Puzhehei is quiet. You can also look at the dusk and sunset. The whole sunset has your shadow.

Puzhehei Lake is the core component of Puzhehei rural scenery. From Qinglong Mountain, you can have a bird's eye view of the entire Puzhehei Village. Whether in the morning, noon or evening, it is a unique view. You can also stroll through the countryside at will, especially when the sun is not so strong. You can see a bay of green everywhere, reeds and water plants swaying in the wind, and happy buffaloes rolling in the mud. Locals love fishing. You can see locals fishing everywhere by the pond. Find a master and learn a few tricks. If you are physically strong enough, you can explore some small paths with few people, and you may find something new.

Master Yang used a horse-drawn carriage to take us to witness the true beauty of Puzhehei. Master Yang was warm and hospitable. He sang Yi songs and told us stories along the way, telling us the origins of various scenic spots in Puzhehei. He sang toast songs for us during meals. We played in Puzhehei for three days. Master Yang took us around for three days, helped us arrange food and accommodation, and made ginger soup for us when we got wet on the boat. He took us to the mountains to watch the sunrise, to the rose garden, the lotus pond, and to go fishing. Puzhehei is a place we don't want to leave. Master Yang used his simple enthusiasm to interpret the passionate and unrestrained personality characteristics of the local villagers. (Master Yang: 15096503738)

It is the most important place in Puzhehei. In summer, the lake is full of lotus flowers, which is very spectacular and you can also go boating to enjoy the view.

Attractions: Puzhehei Lake and the surrounding hills and villages. There are many lotus flowers, but it’s a pity that it’s not in summer, otherwise it would be so beautiful to be in the sea of ​​flowers~

While rowing, you will meet other boats and some children will have water fights. Remember to tell them in advance if you don’t want to participate, otherwise you will be splashed with water.

To be honest, Puzhehei is really a small town. If there are fewer people, you can still have fun. In fact, there is nothing to do. It is just a big lake with many lotus flowers. The only fun thing is to have a water fight with people on the lake. It is mainly because "Where Are We Going, Dad?" hyped this place too much. There are people all the way. There are many local farmhouses. It is not recommended to go to Puzhehei Village during the peak tourist season. There are too many people and it is expensive. We found a farmhouse in the Xianren Cave Scenic Area not far from the Puzhehei Scenic Area. The price is not expensive, the boss is also enthusiastic, and there is a place to park. There are many roasted corns on the roadside. I haven't eaten a slightly fuzzy roasted corn for a long time. It is very fragrant. You can fish a little by the lake. There are yellow wax diced fish and some unknown small fish. The fish is still easy to catch and it is good to make soup.

It gets quite lively at night on weekends and holidays.

The so-called ticket for Puzhehei is the transportation fee for the sightseeing boat. Since there are no lotus flowers on the water, it is not very meaningful to take a boat, so I chose to take a horse carriage for sightseeing. The fee is 100 yuan per person, and the coachman and tour guide is responsible for taking you to visit all the attractions in Puzhehei (including tickets for small attractions).

You must take a boat when you come to Puzhehei. You can see fish swimming in the water, fertile basins, bamboo forests, water villages, and rural scenery when you take a boat tour on the lake.

You must go to Puzhehei. It is a must. The banks of the lake are planted with lotus flowers. People can swim in the lake, have water fights, and eat barbecue made for you by the Yi people in the lake.

The scenery of Puzhehei is very similar to that of Guilin, but because there are many lakes and tens of thousands of acres of lotus ponds, it has much more charm than Guilin. Sitting on a cruise boat, sailing along the lake, passing through the lotus flowers, with water birds circling, the sight of beautiful scenery is really intoxicating.

There are 88 lakes of different sizes in Puzhehei, and you can take a boat to enjoy the scenery. Locals say that in summer, the lake is covered with lotus flowers and lotus leaves, which is the most beautiful season in Puzhehei. When we came, there were patches of reeds. There is also a special "water barbecue" on the lake, where fishing boats catch and grill fish and shrimps, and lotus leaf rice, which will come at your beckoning, which is very similar to the model of Thailand's floating market.

It was quite peaceful. Maybe it was because it was past the peak season when I went there. I just sat by the lake and enjoyed the breeze. It was quite relaxing.

The water of Puzhehei is clear and transparent. Sailing in the sparkling and blue lake, the majestic and misty lakeside and the strange and bizarre peaks are intoxicating. Looking around, the distant mountains are dark green, the lake is colorful, the blue water stretches to the sky, the mountains are verdant, and it all looks natural, like a fairyland on earth surrounded by sea and mountains. Tourists rowing in the boat feel like walking through a gallery.

Puzhehei is a harmonious scene of rippling blue waves, flowers and scenery. If you want to take photos, it is not recommended to buy a package ticket on the website. It is said that there is a special ticket at the entrance of the scenic spot that can take you to the depths of the lotus to take photos. If you are traveling by car, you can consider that there are private boats around the lake, which can take you to the place with many lotus flowers to take photos after 5 pm. The price varies from 60 yuan per person, and you need to negotiate.
