Compared to Sanya in Hainan, this is the best summer cooling city

Top spot in Puzhehei! The pinnacle of karst landforms! 🏞️ For summer vacations, don’t just think of Sanya, this place is truly amazing 👍 Puzhehei averages 22°C, it’s really a seriously underrated treasure! 📍Address: Puzhehei Scenic Area, Qiubei County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province 🚌 Drive navigation to "Puzhehei Visitor Center," about 4 hours from Kunming; after taking the high-speed train to Puzhehei Station, a 30-minute taxi ride 1️⃣ Climb Qinglong Mountain ➡️ Filming location of "Eternal Love" Qinglong Mountain: 20 minutes to the top! Overlooking 300 isolated peaks + tens of thousands of acres of lotus ponds from a god’s eye view 📸 Tips: Sea of clouds at sunrise/sunset! Wear non-slip shoes 2️⃣ Ride a willow leaf boat for a water fight A must-try! The boatman will take you through caves, bring raincoats/water guns (available for rent on site) 💦 Hidden tip: It’s cooler to take the boat in the evening, and you might encounter fireflies 3️⃣ Sunset at Xianren Cave Village - Yi ethnic ancient village! Evening cooking smoke with karst landforms looks like an ink painting - ☕ Bonus: The second-floor terrace of "Lotus Pond Coffee" at the village entrance is a divine spot for sunset photos 🏨 Accommodation Qiubei Shanshui Manor Hotel The biggest highlight is the stunning lake view! You can see the sunrise and sunset over Xianren Village Reservoir right from the room, truly a divine perspective. It’s newly opened, so the facilities are new, the bathroom is very large and has a dry-wet separation. The downside is the location is a bit remote, but the hotel offers free shuttle service to the county center, and you can see a sky full of stars at night～ 🍜 Food recommendations Lotus Feast: fried lotus flowers, chicken wrapped in lotus leaves Sour Soup Fish: local wild fish + tomato sour soup Colorful Glutinous Rice: freshly pounded at the market, very fragrant 🔥 Avoid pitfalls ❌ Don’t buy “free guide” motorcycle rides on the roadside ❌ Ask the price before taking photos inside caves ✅ Lotus flowers bloom most wildly from June to August
