Spring is the best season for travel. It is about to usher in the Qingming and May Day holidays. I believe many people are already planning to travel during the holidays. Yunnan is a very suitable place for spring travel. Yunnan has beautiful scenery, especially where there are lakes. So what are the most beautiful lakes in Yunnan? The editor of this article takes stock of the five most beautiful lakes in Yunnan. Let's see what you know.
No1, Fuxian Lake
It is more than 50 kilometers away from Kunming, about an hour's drive. It is China's largest water storage lake, the largest plateau deep-water lake, and the second deepest freshwater lake. It is about 100 kilometers around the lake. It is the largest drinking water source in Yunnan. The water quality is very good (it is said that it can be drunk directly), so it can't swim. The average depth is 95 meters, which is deeper than the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.
Tips: Fuxian Lake is not widely open. Except for several small scenic spots around it (not recommended), other places are free. There are general family accommodation and resort hotels (such as Hilton). There are many people in peak season and few people in off-season. Driving around the lake is the best. You can go back and forth from Kunming all day. It's not very convenient to eat along the way. It's basically a family restaurant on the side of the road.
NO2, Yangzonghai
It is also one of the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan. It is about 40 kilometers away from Kunming. It is a unique plateau faulted lake. It is rich in fishery and numerous fish. It is narrow and long as a whole, 12 kilometers long from north to South and 3 kilometers wide from east to west. The Lake can see seagulls in winter, and the panorama is very bright.
Tips: it's also more suitable for self driving. Public transportation is inconvenient. Especially for people who want to take photos, it's also necessary to bring a UAV.
No3, Lugu Lake
It is a very popular tourist attraction in Yunnan. It is about 4 hours' drive from Lijiang. Like a paradise, one-third of the lakes belong to Yunnan and two-thirds belong to Sichuan. You can go from Lijiang, Yunnan and Xichang, Sichuan. The tickets are 100 yuan. There are many inns, which can drive, ride or walk along the lake. The scenery is beautiful and the sun is full.
Tips: it is not recommended to go to Lugu Lake (July, August and holidays) in peak season. The experience is poor, and the cost of food, accommodation and travel has increased. The 500 one night Inn can sell 1600-2000 (pro test) during the Spring Festival.
No4, Nianhu
Nianhu lake is located in the east of Yunnan. At the junction of Qujing City and Zhaotong City, a netizen once wrote on the Internet, "in the plateau lake of Yunnan at an altitude of 2500 meters, someone inadvertently found an intoxicating place, which is a water home". Every winter, black necked cranes and white headed geese come here for winter. The quiet mountains and red land shine in the evening, This place is magnified very beautifully.
Tips: it's best to see in winter and spring. It's recommended to go in the sunny evening. When there is sunset, it's better than many lakes. It's a little cold in the morning and evening. It's recommended to bring more clothes.
No5, Erhai Lake
People are no longer familiar with a scenic spot. As the most famous lake in Yunnan, I don't know how many people came to Erhai Lake and Dali for the sake of poetry in their hearts and distance, but the lake after the closure and relocation of the Inn and the renovation of Erhai Lake still doesn't have the clarity and blue like the sky. Some are just a group of off-road vehicles that are mass-produced in a messy environment, with a slightly smelly smell of water and a constant roar.
But Erhai also has its most beautiful moment. In the morning, it wakes up from its sleep without any disturbance from the outside world. Everything is as calm as the lake. In the evening, the glow shrouded it, covering up the unknown side. It is still the most shining Plateau Pearl in Yunnan.
Tips: it is suggested to circle the lake counterclockwise. The double corridor is not the most livable town (demolition and repair, a little ragged). It looks much better on sunny days than on cloudy days. It takes about 12-14 hours to ride around. The best thing to take photos is in the evening and early morning.
