What are the niche and quiet places suitable for traveling in December?

at the moment, you can travel to Yunnan. Of course, if you like small and quiet places, then resolutely give up popular attractions such as Kunming, Dali and Lijiang. Here I recommend several small places for you, which tourists generally don't go to. They are very local.

Yunnan University

Yunnan University is next to Yunnan University for Nationalities and Kunming University of Science and Technology, and beside it are Cuihu Park and Yuantong Mountain. If you want to see peacocks, you can go to the Peacock Garden in Yuantong Mountain.

Yunnan University has no access control, but driving is not allowed in some places. You can see squirrels in the ginkgo forest in Yunnan University, and friends who like small animals can bring some nuts.

When you enter the gate of Yunda, there is a path on the left, which is covered with shade and camellia. This road can lead to Wenjin Building, which is similar to the security office of the school. Ginkgo biloba forest is near the Biology Building. In autumn, it is golden yellow and the scenery is super beautiful.

Yunnan University is very distinctive, with a Republic of China style. In addition, there are French architecture, Greek columns, and the ancient imperial examination room in China, but it was called Gongyuan at that time.

transportation: you can take bus No.85, No.92, No.139, No.187 to Yunda.

tickets: free.

Jiuxiang

There is a popular saying in Yunnan, "Looking at the Stone Forest from the ground and Jiuxiang from the ground". Jiuxiang Scenic Area is located in Jiuxiang Yi and Hui Township, Yiliang County, which is 9 kilometers away from Kunming.

In fact, from the above saying, we can see that Jiuxiang is located underground, and this scenic spot has three stages. The first stage is drifting on the ground, which is also the highest altitude in the whole scenic spot. The drifting stream here was formed by intercepting the stream with a small dam. At first, it was a channel eroded by an underground river, and later the ground above the channel collapsed, and the underground channel was exposed.

The second stage is to walk down the stream, and the next stage is the Lion Hall. This place is named because there is a rock like a lion. It is said that the lens of Myth was filmed here. The Lion Hall covers an area of 15, square meters, and the roof of the cave is a huge rock without any support, which is a miracle.

Go down after the Lion Hall, and then come to the karst cave area, where the karst cave geology presents the shape of terraced fields. The whole Jiuxiang Scenic Area belongs to a typical karst landform scenic area, with both magnificent mountains and rivers and magnificent underground caves.

Transportation: Take CMB to Yiliang County at the New East Bus Station in Kunming, and then take the bus at the No.21 urban and rural bus stop next to Shuanglu Hotel in Yiliang County, which runs every 3 minutes, and the fare is 6 yuan.

tickets: 9 yuan, cableway 3 yuan.

Opening hours: 8:-18:

Guandu Ancient Town

Guandu Ancient Town is located in the southeast suburb of Kunming. Although this ancient town is a 4A-level tourist attraction, the tickets are indeed free, probably because of cultural similarity, so walking in the ancient town feels like walking in Old Town of Lijiang.

Guandu ancient town is a famous cultural landscape in Yunnan, where there are many cultural relics. In less than 1.5 square kilometers, there are five mountains, six temples, seven pavilions and eight temples in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In addition, guandu town is also a famous snack street, where many famous Yunnan snacks are gathered, and many shops are very popular, so tourists often need long queues to buy them. Guandu rice noodles, Guandu Baba and Guandu bait are called the three treasures here and must be tasted.

Yunnan Ethnic Village

Yunnan is a province with many ethnic minorities. If you like ethnic minority culture and are lazy, I recommend you to go to Yunnan Ethnic Village.

There are 25 ethnic minority villages in the scenic spot, including Yi, Bai, Dai, Miao, Jingpo, Wa, Hani, Naxi, Lisu and Dulong. In addition, there are national dance performances of various ethnic groups every once in a while. What is more interesting is the performance on Daoshan, in which the actor walks barefoot on a sharp blade, but he is unscathed.

In the village, there are also unique earthen palm houses, wine roasting workshops, cultural buildings, etc. Some unique festivals in Yunnan can also be experienced here, such as the Water Splashing Festival and Torch Festival. Perhaps this scenic spot is the most lively in Yunnan.

transportation: you can take bus No.24, No.44, No.73, No.94, No.135, No.172, No.184, Line B, No.233 and No.A1 to get there.

ticket: 9 yuan.

Opening hours are 8:3-17:3.

Dongchuan Red Land

What you see in this scenic spot is red land. There are many such red lands in Yunnan, but only here is red land of this scale. Dongchuan Red Land is the most concentrated, typical and distinctive red land in Yunnan red soil plateau. It is really shocking to stand at the scenic spot and see pieces of red.

Dongchuan Red Land is located in the northeast of Kunming. Because the soil contains a lot of iron, aluminum and other components, the whole land has become dazzling, and it has always been a paradise for photographers. The best way to visit the red land is to charter a car, because walking is not realistic, and people who can walk doubt life.

The best viewing time of Dongchuan red land is when the wheat is ripe in April-May, when the rape blossoms are in full bloom in September-December, and when there is residual snow in February-March.

The red land scenic spots are scattered. There is an obvious three-way intersection near Huashitou Village, which is the intersection of Huashitou Village and Hongtudi Town, Dongchuan District and Kunming. These three lines connect the whole red land scenic spot in series, which is divided into northwest line, northeast line and south line, etc. The charter cost of each line is around 3 yuan.

Northwest Line

From south to north, there are Langdadi, Jinxiu Garden, Colorful Slope, Damakan, etc. Langdadi is located to the west of Sanchakou, and terraces are like billowing waves. Colorful Slope and Jinxiu Garden are actually the same land, but when viewed from different angles, there will be different visual impacts, because a large number of crops such as potatoes and buckwheat are planted here, and when they bloom, their colors are more colorful. Madakan is located in the northernmost part of the northwest line, which is especially suitable for shooting sunrise.

Northeast Line

From south to north, there are Dapingtang, Laolongshu, Dongguawan, Luoxiagou, Yueliangtian, etc. Laolongshu is a fir with a tree age of thousands of years. Every year in May, when the terraces are watered and transplanted, the lines of Luoxiagou are like a lute, and Luoxiagou is also the best place to shoot the sunset and sunset in the evening. Moon Field is close to Huashitou Village, with a distance of 2 kilometers. The terraced landscape and the canyon scenic area are integrated together, and the layering is particularly rich, which is a place where many photographers show large areas.

The south line

The south line is a road to Kunming, and there are music score depressions, Dawotang and Dayakou on both sides along the way. The music score depressions are only 1 km away from Huashitou Village, and the terraces here are almost horizontal, just like a staff, which is particularly beautiful.

Transportation: Take the shuttle bus to France at Kunming North Bus Station and get off at Huashitou Village. The fare is about 37 yuan, and there are buses at 7:5 and 8:3 every day.

tickets: free.

Accommodation: There are many peasant inns in Huashitou Village, the prices are relatively cheap, and the sanitary conditions are basically acceptable. Dining is provided in the inns, and the prices are not expensive.
