Kunming Qiubei Off-the-Beaten-Path Experience 🌸 Stay between sea of flowers and mountains! This trip perfectly combines artistic boutique hotels with stunning natural scenery, making it easy to capture beautiful photos~
🏡 Accommodation Recommendation:
Kunming Ananas Camelia Anshe·Kaimili Hotel
📍 No. 86 Dongfeng East Road, C86 Camellia Workshop, Building C
A delightful surprise upon check-in is the room full of butterfly orchids! The French minimalist design paired with fresh flowers makes every shot look like an Instagram masterpiece✨ The hotel is located in a cultural and creative park, within walking distance to Nanping Pedestrian Street, where you can enjoy amazing late-night snacks~
🌊 Must-Visit Attraction:
Qiubei · Puzhehei Scenic Area
📍 Intersection of Provincial Road 305 and Provincial Road 206, Qiubei County, Wenshan
Completely recommended by geography books! The karst landscape lakes look like scattered emeralds. It’s best to visit early in the morning to capture the misty mountains and waters resembling an ink painting. Don’t forget to take a bamboo raft tour on the lake (about 80 RMB/person), and the boatman will sing local folk songs~
📸 Photo Tips:
1. The butterfly orchid flower wall in the hotel corridor is a must-shoot
2. For Puzhehei, it’s recommended to wear white or light-colored dresses
3. Use a telephoto lens at the scenic viewing platform to compress the depth of field for a more stunning effect
🚗 Transportation Guide:
Kunming → Puzhehei: High-speed train to Qiubei Station (1.5h) + 20-minute taxi ride
