What are the small and beautiful tourist spots in Yunnan?

Besides Old Town of Lijiang, Dali Ancient City, Shilin Scenic Area and Chongsheng Temple, are there any scenic spots with beautiful scenery and few people? The following are the top ten minority tourist attractions in Yunnan.

1, secret valley

Mi Le Valley is a scenic spot with rich natural colors with Danxia landform as the core and including forests, caves, streams and other landscapes. Located in the mountains, it twists and turns, forming a canyon scenery belt with red mountains, green waters and red cliffs.

Because of the warm climate in the valley, there are many evergreen broad-leaved forests growing on both sides, which are evergreen all year round. They complement each other with Danxia Mountain and have the most beautiful colors, which makes people lament the magical creativity of nature.

The secret valley is far from the city and there is no noise. There is only silence and tranquility here. With Yi culture and Christian culture as the core, relying on one mountain, one river, one valley, one village and one town, we will integrate natural scenery and cultural sites to create a poetic paradise.

Mountain refers to Mount Hodge, also known as Mount Xingqiu. It is said to be the sacred mountain of the Yi people, and there is the origin of life under the mountain. The mountain is a rare Danxia landform in Yunnan, and a large number of purple rock bodies appear in front of us. Under the erosion of years, rock masses have different shapes, some like people, some like things, some like beasts, and some like flowers and plants, which are vivid and lifelike.

Water refers to the Mi Le River, a small river that flows slowly in the valley. The river twists and turns, sometimes slow and sometimes urgent, the vegetation on both sides is full of vitality, and there are some unknown wild flowers. Walking into the river, I saw the rushing water flowing all the way to the downstream reservoir. From time to time, frogs jump into the water, mixed with the fragrance of the earth, which makes me intoxicated.

Village refers to Camden village, and town refers to Saiyingpan town, which is the location of Mi Le Valley. Most of them are mountainous areas and dams, including Saiyong Mountain and Daniupeng Mountain. Because most of them are not commercially developed, they are well preserved.

Danxia Stone is the most striking and unique landscape in Milla Valley. Although it is not as majestic as Danxia Mountain in Guangdong and Wuyishan Mountain in Fujian, it can be unique in the depths of the mountains in Yunnan. It is a rare Danxia landscape. Looking at these different Danxia stones and picturesque ravines at close range, nature's uncanny workmanship makes people have infinite reverie.

2. Xiaocaoba

Xiaocaoba, located in the northeast of Yiliang County, is located in the state-owned Xiaocaoba Forest Farm in Zhaotong area. From the name, I thought it was grassland. I didn't know it was a mountain forest until I went in. There are rolling mountains and trees everywhere. It integrates Qifeng, Shilin, waterfalls, green trees, flowers and plants, and is characterized by danger, strangeness, danger, seclusion and beauty, creating a magical and quiet peerless landscape full of green.

This is a magical world, a paradise hidden in the jungle. Xiaocaoba has four distinct seasons, with wild flowers in full bloom in spring, waterfalls running in summer, red leaves all over the mountains in autumn and snow in winter.

Xiaocaoba Scenic Area used to be a forest farm and a national nature reserve. There are many rare wild animals and plants here. Birds are singing from time to time in the distance, which adds to the depth and silence of the forest and allows pure air to penetrate into the heart and spleen.

Xiaocaoba, known as "the best in the world", is not only ornamental, but also interesting. Suitable for leisure, vacation and exploration, it is known as the mysterious land of Taoyuan in the mountains. There are many small rivers and dozens of streams in the dense forest, and there are many scenic spots, such as thirsty camel drinking spring, Yinhe waterfall, stone peak, white cuckoo playing lion, fairy pool and ten thousand Buddha cave.

Xiaocaoba Scenic Area has charming scenery. There are thousands of peaks and deep valleys in Wan Ren. The most beautiful scenery is the waterscape, and the flowing streams are colorful. There is both the exquisite beauty of Jiuzhaigou and the graceful artistic conception of Zhangjiajie.

In March of every spring, azaleas in full bloom are the most eye-catching in Xiaocaoba. There are all kinds of wild rhododendrons around Pengjialin, which is known as "Shili Huaxi", to the Fenshuiling River, and between the green mountains and green waters of Niujiaoyan and Yaneryan.

3. Jiyi Rift Valley

The Jiyi Rift, also known as the Zhong Da Rift, is about12km long and its valley bottom is over 300m deep. The distance between the two sides fluctuates and the width is unequal. The widest part is about 200 meters, and the narrowest part is only 6 meters. Opposite the cliffs, vines are entwined and trees are shaded, forming the original cliff wonders, which is known as the "First Rift Valley in China".

The terrain of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa is strange and well preserved, just like a one that has just been visited. It is mainly composed of Tiansheng Bridge, Daliang River, Shenlong Gorge, Sky Cave and three peaks, and is a natural cave in central Yunnan.

At the narrowest part of the rift valley, a huge stone stands between the two sides to connect them. This scene is called Tiansheng Bridge, which enables people to travel freely between the two places. The cliffs on both sides are steep and almost vertical, just like the axis of the gods, exposing criss-crossing rock faults, which is so vicissitudes.

Under the steep cliff, the Great Rift Valley is unfathomable. Walking on the narrow and rugged plank road, you can find a place to have a rest, observe the strange peaks and rocks, overlook the deep valleys, overlook the waterfalls and listen to the gurgling water.

The river beam is located at the bottom of the valley, and the road section is complicated and tortuous. It needs to climb, wade or cross a cave, which is called adventure blockbuster. Wonderful and thrilling all the way, you can see Qifeng and Rocky Waterfalls along the way, which is the most beautiful scar on the earth.

Xia Long is an undeveloped area. From the entrance, it looks like a lion and an eagle face to face. Looking up from the bottom of the valley, the rock walls on both sides show magical colors under the sunlight. Turning around quietly, it is hard to imagine this magical picture, and the colors are unpredictable. "Sleeping at night, fairy dreams, high hills, faint red smoke, wet and beautiful figures", Shenlong Gorge, with its landscape of pots, rocks, water and sky, shows another landscape completely different from the front end of the Great Rift Valley in East Africa.

Sky Cave, located at the bottom of the Rift Valley in East Africa, is a huge cave. There are warm areas and cool areas in the cave. There are caves and cliffs in the cave. There are all kinds of animals and plants, as well as all kinds of strange stones. There is a water curtain flying down at the top of the cave, which is elegant and natural. It is still a good place for exploration and sightseeing.

4. Jianshui Ancient City

The ancient city of Jianshui, called Budou in ancient times, was built around 8 10 years ago, with a history of more than 1000 years. It is said that it was built by Zhejiang immigrants, so it had a resounding name "Lin 'an" in the Yuan Dynasty. This "Lin 'an" is not Hangzhou, but named to commemorate my hometown. For a long time, due to historical dust and traffic jams, many ancient buildings, antiquities and ancient customs have been completely preserved, which makes people realize that there is a "living ancient city" in this red land of southern Yunnan.

South of Kyushu, the top of colorful clouds, Jianshui is still primitive and natural. Although there are not many tourists, there are many places of interest, such as Confucius Temple in the traditional market, local yamen, Yi Tusi Yamen, Shuanglong Bridge in the ancient art bridge, Zhujiayuan in the "Grand View Garden in South Yunnan" and so on. It has the reputation of "a famous country in literature" and "Zou Lu in southern Yunnan".

Jianshui ancient city was originally a earthen city built in Nanzhao period, and it was changed into a brick wall after twenty years of expansion in Hongwu of Ming Dynasty. The ancient city has built four gates and towers, which are four feet high. Very spectacular. There are Ying Hui Gate in the east, Tiananmen Gate in Fu You in the south, Qingyuan Gate in the west and Yongzheng Gate in the north. Until the end of the Republic of China, the west, north and south floors were destroyed by soldiers. Now, only the East Tower stands proudly, as if telling a thousand years of loneliness. People from all over the world come in and out of the city gate every day, and some people only walk once in their lives.

Ancient wells, the fountain of life for building water, have been reduced a lot after thousands of years of vicissitudes, but there are still dozens of old wells in use. In addition to the common round wells, there are rare triple wells and F.

The garden is located in Xinjie, the ancient city of Jianshui. It is the residence of squire Zhu in the late Qing Dynasty and an ancient garden building. The whole courtyard adopts the traditional vertical, horizontal and vertical layout, with neat rooms and a patchwork courtyard with 42 patios. Carving beams and painting buildings, exquisite craftsmanship, reasonable courtyard layout and ingenious design, from family ancestral temple, residential buildings and embroidered buildings to shops, pavilions, waterside pavilions, promenades and stages. Everyone has a clear priority and is a must-see spot for Jianshui.

When it comes to Jianshui, we have to mention Chaoyang Tower, the landmark of the ancient city. It was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Formerly known as Ying Hui Mansion, also known as Dongmen Mansion, it is very similar to Beijing Tiananmen Square and is known as "Little Tiananmen Square". The Drum Tower consists of three floors, consisting of 48 huge wooden columns, numerous thick beams and tenons, forming a solid main frame with triple eaves and a rest peak, and the four Chinese characters "Southeast of Xiongzhen" hanging in the east.

Shuanglong Bridge, also a very colorful scenic spot, is located five kilometers west of the city, also known as the 17-hole bridge. Spanning the water at the intersection of Lujiang River and Tachong River, the bridge body is piled with bluestone. There are three pavilions in the bridge, and there is a bridge pavilion at each end, which looks like a boat from a distance and looks like a Changhong lying wave from a close distance.

Strolling through the ancient city, you will find that the ancient rhyme of Jianshui has not disappeared with the progress of science and technology. On the contrary, it seems that it has passed through thousands of years of time and space, and it is leisurely everywhere, emitting a simple and simple atmosphere.

5. Bamei Village

Bamei Village is a small village surrounded by mountains. In the past, access mainly depended on two natural caves in front of and behind the village. Because of its remote location and inconvenient transportation, it is difficult to meet the outside world, and it is self-sufficient for a long time and leads a semi-closed pastoral life. In addition, the village is surrounded by green fields, ancient roads, small bridges and flowing water, and peach blossoms, which are very similar to the paradise in Tao Yuanming's eyes, so it is called "the paradise in reality".

To enter Bamei, the first thing you see is a stone mountain shaped like a giant pen. There is a hole on the mountainside, and many stalagmites hang upside down from the top, which is very spectacular. There will be a small river flowing through this village next year. It is green, clear and beautiful.

Sitting on a traditional wooden boat and staggering into the cave, the sky becomes dark and the world becomes far away, only the sound of waterfalls and the sound of ships breaking the waves. After driving 800 meters, the noisy world disappeared and the world in front of me suddenly became clear. You are greeted by an ancient and mysterious village.

Bamei is a Zhuang village with karst landform, surrounded by mountains and a flat dam in the middle, which is full of idyllic natural beauty, hence its name. Zhuang language means "hole in the forest".

In fact, the village is not big, and it can be completed in a short time. The rivers, bamboo forests, waterwheels, farmland, huts and mountains in front of us all have a strong Zhuang style, as if to tell you in silent language that this is the past of the village.

Bamei dwellings are traditional floor-standing and semi-floor-standing buildings of Zhuang nationality. The main house is surrounded by wooden boards, with mud on it and tiles on it. There is a shady fence in front, the upper part is used for living, and the lower part is used for placing sundries or raising livestock, which is completely a custom in the past.

Life in a small village is very simple. In the morning, you wake up naturally in the crow of chickens, and the beauty of Yanxiaba is even more mysterious. The fragrance of fields is floating in the air, giving you a unique artistic conception. There is no strange landscape here. It's all normal routines. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Although it seems inefficient, it makes you feel really slow and really reassuring. I hope Zhenba sister will keep a low profile, not forget her positive attitude, not over-commercialized, and keep her original beauty and authenticity.

6. Wuliangshan

Wuliangshan, called Mengleshan in ancient times, belongs to the residual vein of Yunling in Hengduan Mountain, a branch of the southern foot of Diancang Mountain. Deep in the forest of Wuliangshan, the leaves are dense and the pine and cypress are evergreen.

The earliest understanding of Wuliangshan was related to immortals, which came from Jin Yong's martial arts novel China on the Tip of the Tongue. In order to rescue Zhong Ling, Duan Yu accidentally broke into the blessed land of Wuliang Mountain and saw a jade statue, which shocked the world and called her "fairy elder sister". Duan Yu was greatly admired. After kowtowing for thousands of times, I learned the secrets of the bard, the northern ghost and Ling Bo Microwave. Since then, his martial arts have greatly improved and he has been promoted to a first-class master.

Of course, this is just a martial arts dream in everyone's heart. There is no fairy sister in the real world, but the Wuliangshan in reality is really extraordinary, famous for its courage, strangeness, danger and beauty. This is a mysterious mountain that has not been fully understood.

The word "boundless" comes from Taoism, which means "immeasurable" and "towering into the clouds and immeasurable" Cheng Yuechuan, a poet in Qing Dynasty, wrote in a poem: "There are silver waves on the top of Zishi Mountain in Wan Ren Peak. It turned into a light smoke, and it was suspected that it was a layered cloud dancing Yulong. " In a few words, it highly summarizes the wonders of Wuliang Mountain. The rock is Wan Ren. Thousands of waterfalls enter the water, and the clouds are lingering.

At present, Wuliangshan has been partially developed, mainly including Wuliangshan Imperial Pen, Sakura Valley, Dazhaizi, Yingpanshan Ancient Battlefield Site and other scenic spots. Because it is scattered, it is recommended to arrange the trip separately.

Wuliangye is famous for its elegant scenery and is the most ornamental scenic spot in Wuliangshan. It is located in the mountains in the upper reaches of Chahe River in Jingfu Township, Infinite Mountain, surrounded by virgin forests. There are towering cliffs on the side of Wuliang Mountain, much like Wuliangye written by Jin Yong. Here, there is a cliff of tens of meters. Waterfalls pour down, flying beads splash jade, magnificent, forming a pool below, clear and transparent. There is a huge stone next to the pool, which can accommodate dozens of people. It is called "Yangshan Waterfall" because blue sheep often jump over this mountain. Jin Yong's "Infinite Jade Wall" is so consistent with Yangshan Waterfall in Wuliangshan that locals call it the Infinite Jade Wall in reality.

Sakura Valley, located in Wuliangshan, Nanjian County, is around 65438+February every year, with more than 2000 acres of cherry blossoms competing to open and release their beauty at will. There are ten thousand mu of tea gardens next to it, which are fragrant and green. Tea is as green as Jiangnan, and cherry blossoms are as beautiful as flowers. Under the sun, clusters of red clouds gather into clouds and scatter into stars, forming a fairyland-like picture.

7. Jiangdong Village

Jiangdong Village, a simple and quiet village, has a romantic name-Ginkgo Village, because many ginkgo trees are planted. There are more than 30,000 new and old ginkgo trees in the village, of which more than 50 are over 500 years old, which is known as the largest, most concentrated and oldest natural ginkgo forest in China.

Ginkgo Village has a long history. According to research, it was inhabited as early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, Chishitun, a military vehicle, was set up in Jiangdong, gradually forming four families: Chen, Huang, Yang and Zhang. The ancestors of the four tribes found this place suitable for survival, and there were many fruitful ginkgo trees, so they settled here, settled in the frontier, and multiplied to this day.

There are more than ten large and small ginkgo forests around Jiangdong Village, among which Jiang Yun, Chenjiazhai, Simba and Sihe are the four ancient ginkgo communities. Among them, the ginkgo tree, which is over 1300 years old, is about 30 meters high and is called "the king of ginkgo" by local people. Although the tree king is very old, he still maintains a strong vitality, blossoms and bears fruit normally, and can bear thousands of pounds of delicious ginkgo every year.

For more than 600 years, Jiangdong has its own unique folk culture, which endows Ginkgo with many connotations. It is good to call ginkgo biloba an ecological tree, a longevity tree, a pension tree, a love tree, a gratitude tree and a gongsun tree.

Every year around 65438+February is the most beautiful season in Jiangdong Village. Ginkgo began to turn yellow, and thick golden ginkgo leaves piled up on the ground, roof and stone bench. The whole Jiangdong village has become a Kim family. The villagers' homes are hung with fiery red peppers, golden pumpkins and corn, green rattan peppers, wooden tables and chairs, and volcanic walls. feel

Although Yunnan has many beautiful scenery, in late autumn, only Jiangdong Village can experience the fairy tale world. In front of and behind the village, leaves are falling all over the sky, full of bright colors. The golden and quiet picture makes the village quiet, and the combination of dynamic and static brings us into a wonderful fairy tale world.

In Beidou's view, drinking tea and chatting with local villagers under ginkgo trees, enjoying autumn scenery, or strolling in ginkgo trees with lovers are the best enjoyment you can get in Jiangdong Village. You can stay away from the noise, enjoy peace, forget your troubles and immerse yourself in nature. If you like to take pictures, you can take dreamy pictures with a snap.

8. Cangyuan Rock Paintings

Cangyuan Rock Painting is one of the oldest rock paintings in China. Painted at the end of the Neolithic Age, it has a history of more than 3,000 years. Paintings are mostly distributed on inaccessible cliffs, and ochre paintings are printed on gray rocks. The local Wa people call it "dyed temple wood", which originally meant paintings on rocks and was called "Wa Dunhuang murals".

In these rock paintings, there are people, animals, plants, houses, mountains and rivers, stars and so on. It covers everything related to life and plays an important role in studying the culture and economy at that time. Visitors who like to study historical sites can explore them themselves.

Not all designs are still life, but many are related to life, such as hunting, grazing, dancing, returning home, entertainment and so on. They vividly recorded various scenes of our ancestors' production and life, as if bringing the audience into that primitive world.

Among all the rock paintings, "headhunting" and "hunting cattle" have the widest scope, the most patterns, and the characters and expressions are fascinating. The cliff surface is flat and vertical, and all the patterns are only a few strokes, so the painted objects can be interpreted quite clearly, and the key features of the objects can always be grasped at a glance. Wang Anshi once said, "The wonder of the world is magnificent and peculiar, often because it is far from danger and there are few people, so people who don't want to go can't go."

Everyone will recite these simple and primitive patterns in front of them. Who created these rock paintings? In fact, there is no way to prove it, but whoever it is must be the ancestor of the local Wa people, because the life scenes shown in the rock paintings are very similar to those of the Wa people today, and many traditional living customs continue to this day.

For thousands of years, these rock paintings have been sacred places in the hearts of local Wa villagers, and the characters in the rock paintings are regarded as "immortals". Every festival or religious sacrifice, the local Wa people will spontaneously hold solemn sacrifice activities at the scene of rock paintings, praying that the "immortals" will always have a bumper harvest and peace.

In different seasons or different weather, you will see different colors of rock paintings every time you go up the mountain. Why is this happening? It turns out that this pigment is made of iron ore powder and animal oil mixed with plant liquid containing colloid. Its brightness is related to light, humidity and temperature. The local villagers explained that "it changes three times a day, turns red in the morning, turns white in the afternoon and turns purple at night", which is incredible.

So, what is the purpose of painting these rock paintings? As can be seen from the diversity of patterns, the motivation of painting is not unique. Different themes have different ideas, but they are nothing more than highlights. One is religion, and the other is routine. No matter how you explain it, one thing is right. Cangyuan Rock Paintings entrusted the Wa ancestors' love and expectation for life.

9. It rains heavily.

Yulu is Yi language, which means Xiaolongtan. Yuda Ground Fissure is located in Luyou Township, north of Huize County, Qujing, with a total length of more than ten kilometers. It is famous for its strangeness, danger, beauty, heroism and seclusion, and is known as a beautiful scar on the earth.

According to scientific research, the rift valley was formed hundreds of millions of years ago due to crustal movement and compression. Many caves of different sizes have been formed due to the interlacing of crustal compression and deformation. There are strange peaks and rocks in the cave with different shapes. There are 10,000 tons of boulders hanging in the air, lifelike animal shapes and swift river shoals, creating a strange underground world.

The Rift Valley in the rain is a masterpiece of nature for thousands of years, mainly including the gate of life, great thinkers, phoenix tail dripping green, turtle crossing the river, the front line of heaven, complacency, sleeping beauty, golden Buddha cave, natural waterfall, Gu Teng, fairy guide and other scenic spots, which fully shows the ingenuity of nature.

The "door of life" is located at the entrance of the crack. The two mountains intersect to form a "gate" shape more than 30 meters high. There are thousands of cliffs and valleys on both sides, and vines are winding and full of vitality. The "great thinker" stood on the other side of the cliff, holding his heart in his left hand and basking in the sun in his right hand, as if he were meditating. It resembles the sculptor Rodin's masterpiece Eight Dragons, giving people infinite reverie.

At the top of the Rift Valley, there is a mountain very similar to the legendary "Sleeping Beauty", with beautiful posture and various customs. It is in the same strain as the fairy tales of sleeping beauty, ninety-nine teenagers, immortals and heavenly generals in local folklore.

The "first-line sky" is a landscape that many scenic spots can see. Looking up, a wisp of blue sky floats overhead, and I can't help feeling my smallness in front of nature. "Lover Waterfall" is a cliff covered with moss. Spring water seeps from the cliff, sometimes slowly and sometimes urgently, sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly, forming large waterfalls and small waterfalls. One strong and one soft, one strong and one weak, lasting forever. Therefore, the "lover waterfall" is named.

Along the Rift Valley, there is a scene with different scenery. Even the same scenic spot, different people and different angles will have different interpretations. Many stone pillars, stalagmites, stone curtains, caves, etc. They are all beautiful. In my mind, this should be the legendary cave.
