Spending 3 Days Lazing in Pu'er Forest Healed Me So Much I Didn't Want to Leave...

I'd long heard Pu'er was a city embraced by greenery, and finally got to experience it firsthand. Arriving at Pu'er Sun River Forest Park, I was instantly struck by the fresh air and overwhelming verdant views—it felt like being gently cradled by nature.

🌿【Accommodation: Staying in a Fairytale Cabin】
The forest cabins at Little Panda Manor are absolutely magical!
Ancient towering trees right outside the balcony door 🌳
Waking to birdsong, falling asleep to insect chirps
The butler delivers fresh seasonal fruits daily
And reminds me of the day's activity schedule
Staying here is truly therapeutic!

🦝【Must-Do Experiences, Tested & Approved】
✔️ Wetland Restaurant's Pestle Pot
Savoring sour-spicy appetizing pestle chicken feet while watching waterbirds stroll
I actually encountered waterbirds foraging nearby!
I nearly rushed over in excitement (friends held me back lol)

✔️ Little Panda Afternoon Tea is a Must!
Adorable panda paw cookies + fruit cups
Sitting on the lawn with forest breezes
Every photo turns into a woodland masterpiece 📸
My social media blew up with location requests

✔️ Firefly Night Tour is Legendary!
Following guides into the woods at dusk
Looking up to see fireflies falling like stars
I stayed silent the whole time, hand over mouth
Afterward, all I could say was "This is magic" ✨
(Book 3 days in advance!)

🐒【Pu'er Sun River Forest Park Guide】
2 hours is enough to explore the park
Waterbirds leisurely pacing through grass
Close-up animal feeding (with staff guidance)
Summer-exclusive mushroom foraging is fantastic
Carrying baskets behind guides
I discovered many rare mushroom varieties
The park also has waterbirds, riverside animals, and woodland creatures—all irresistibly cute!

💃【Weekend Bonus】
Caught an ethnic costume show
Yi tribe's indigo tie-dye patterns were stunning
Dai girls' tube skirts bloomed like flowers when spinning
I even learned some hand-waving dance moves—so fun!

📌【Pro Tips】
▫️ Wear anti-slip shoes! Forest trails can be damp
▫️ Bring big bug spray—forest mosquitoes are fierce
▫️ Pack extra clothes—you'll sweat from all the fun
▫️ Self-driving is best, with nearby tea mountains to visit

This Pu'er trip was beyond worthwhile
Seeing myself interact with adorable forest creatures
Suddenly realized—this is how summer should be spent~
