Yunnan's Hidden Gem! Karst Landscape More Magical Than the Li River🌊
📍Address: Intersection of Provincial Road 305 and Provincial Road 206, Qiubei County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province

✨Four Must-Experience Highlights
1️⃣ Qinglongshan Dock: Ride a Willow Leaf Boat
Take a Yi ethnic boat through a karst cave tunnel; the moment the oar parts the lotus leaves is breathtakingly beautiful! Water fight activities are available during the peak lotus bloom in July and August.
📸 Photo Spot: 45° angle at the bow to capture mountain and water reflections

2️⃣ Filming Location of "Three Lives Three Worlds"
Peach Blossom Island realistically recreates the secret realm of Qingqiu! Although the peach blossoms are plastic, combined with the misty karst peaks in the morning, the scene is incredibly ethereal.
⚠️ Note: Drones are prohibited

3️⃣ Caihuaqing Miao Village
A primitive Miao village with corn and chili hanging from every household; when evening smoke rises, it looks just like a scene from "Spirited Away." Grandma at the village entrance sells lotus leaf rice for 5 yuan, filling and affordable.

4️⃣ Leshui Cave for Sunset
A hidden local favorite! A 20-minute hike up the mountain rewards you with a panoramic view of the golden-edged Wanfeng Forest. Remember to bring mosquito repellent.

🍜 Must-Try Dishes
Lotus Leaf Fried Eggs / Lotus Flower Fish / Sour Soup Rice Noodles
Recommended: "Heyun Renjia" – sit by the lotus pond and enjoy freshly caught fried lotus flowers, crispy and sweet, absolutely delicious!

🌧️ Rainy Day Activities
1. Stroll with an umbrella through Xianren Cave Village and Yi People’s Dock
2. Slurp a bowl of steaming hot beef rice noodles
3. Roast tofu by the fireplace at a guesthouse

💡 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls
▫️ Sightseeing bus costs 60 yuan/person but is optional; renting an electric scooter is more flexible (bargain down to 80 yuan/day)
▫️ Paying for staged photos of fishermen casting nets (50-100 yuan)
▫️ For navigation, choose "Puzhehei Scenic Area" instead of "Puzhehei Village" for accuracy

📌 Best Seasons: June-September (lotus bloom) / November (ginkgo yellow)
