It is about100km away from Kunming city and 30km away from Yiliang county. Located in the upper reaches of Horseshoe River, a tributary of Nanpanjiang River, it belongs to Yueming River.

All the way downhill, I heard the sound of running water from a distance, and when I went down to the valley, I suddenly felt like I was in a fairyland!

By the stream, it is full of greenery and vitality, with flowing water, birds singing, faint valleys and mountain streams echoing. It's really like breaking into the secret realm of fairy tales.

There is a clear and slow stream on the hiking road, and the scenery by the stream is very beautiful. There was a plank road on it, and after walking along the winding plank road for about 2km, I began to take the mountain road.

Follow the direction of the water and you will come to an open area with steep rocks and magnificent walls. You can climb the cliff along the path for a walk. This is a section of the network celebrity punch card road, a semi-circular cliff, and the photo is very shocking.

Moon Valley is a river valley landscape with lively and lovely flowing water at the bottom. Although it is late autumn, it is still full of green.

Forget the distance of the road, linger! Little friends keep taking pictures crazily, and every shot is a blockbuster!

There is an ancient Yi village with a history of more than 600 years in Tuanjie Township, Xishan District, Kunming City-Damoyu Village, which is adjacent to Qipanshan National Forest Park, and the ancient village is hidden in the surrounding mountains.

Moyu is a transliteration of Yi language, which means dense bamboo forest. Damoyu Village is about 20 kilometers away from the urban area, less than 1 hour by car, and there is a realistic version of "yearning life" hidden here.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, this old village attracts people from all over the country who love rural life. They rebuilt old houses and built communities, and the traditional Yi old houses were preserved because of them.

There is also a Moyu Reservoir outside the village, which has a beautiful environment and is very suitable for hiking on weekends. The vegetation here is lush, and the wind, sunshine and air in the mountains are stimulants for people who have long been "home" in the city.

The colorful Moyu Reservoir gives fresh and humid air here, which makes more than 95% of the days in Damoyu Village reach the first-class air standard.

Moyu Village Reservoir is not large, except for the dam near the village, which is surrounded by forests on three sides. It is quiet and serene. What fascinates people is the jade lake, which reflects the blue sky of the mountain forest and reflects deep colors, just like shining a laser flashlight on a good jade stone with windows.

Kunming is like a little Switzerland. The mountains are surrounded by a clear forest lake. The lake along the way is crystal clear and beautiful.

After the heavy rain, the leaves turned yellow and the deciduous Chinese fir forests in three villages were almost red.

In Sancun Reservoir, Chinese fir stands upright on the winding water bank. They are as red as brides in autumn and crimson in winter.

The lake is still blue, as beautiful as the blue sky breaking in the lake. Sequoias in various shapes, including light red and deep red, are intertwined in color, gorgeous and hot.

While the autumn wind is still wet and the sunshine is just right, come and visit the mountains and enjoy the flowers and leaves with your family and friends.

There are many strange peaks and rocks on the top of the mountain, dense vegetation, all kinds of wild flowers competing to open, and the scenery is very pleasant.

Maya cave, with a length of120m, is an artificial industrial and mining cave formed after the exploitation of Maya stone, but it has stopped mining and is now abandoned.

Standing on the cliff of Maya Cave, you can have a panoramic view of Mantichuan Canyon.

Baifeng's special geographical environment, together with windmills, rocks and mines, makes it a paradise for hikers.

The biggest feature of crossing Baifeng is that there are windmills and rugged rocks along the way.

There are many rural roads in Baifeng Mountain area, where cars, motorcycles and bicycles can pass, so many tourists or outdoor enthusiasts drive, ride bicycles and walk on the roads.
