20℃ Summer! I found a breathing primeval forest in Yunnan

The most beautiful hiking trail I've ever walked! 💚

When the city is shrouded in a 40℃ heatwave🔥
Quickly save this "Summer Escape Plan" 🍃
In the folds of the mountains in western Yunnan,
I found the "natural air conditioner" that Earth has gifted to humanity❄️
A summer paradise with an average temperature of 20°C,
hiding a breathing primeval forest,
a jade carpet woven with moss,
ancient trees supporting a green dome🌳
Every breath here is a blast of 98% negative oxygen ions!

📍 Scenic spot address: Jinshan Primeval Forest Scenic Area, Yuxi City, Yunnan
🎫 Ticket information: 10 RMB/person (super cost-effective!)
🚗 Transportation:
· About 4 hours driving from Kunming
· High-speed rail to Huanian Station, then about 2 hours by taxi
🕒 Opening hours: 8:00-18:00

🌿【Recommended hiking route】:
Bluestone trail → Malu Valley stream → Squirrel Forest → 2483m Viewing Platform → Hundred Birds Forest → Tea Horse Ancient Road ruins
About 2 kilometers in total, takes 3-4 hours (slow walk + photography) 📸

🎒【Essential gear list】:
👟❶ Non-slip hiking shoes (important❗️ many slippery sections)
👕❷ Quick-dry clothes + windbreaker (20°C temperature difference, bring raincoat in rainy season)
🩹❸ First aid kit (key point!)
· Mupirocin ointment (original domestic product, same as on variety shows! Small and very portable, essential for wound sterilization)
· Mosquito repellent (many mosquitoes in the forest🦟 ointment can also be used after bites)
💊 Others: drinking water + energy snacks (to replenish energy in time)

🏡【Accommodation recommendation】:
"Shuji Mountain Lodge" right next to the scenic area,
a secret homestay hidden in the forest,
sleep in a natural oxygen bar, wake up to a view full of green💚
