March! It's really recommended to take a trip to Gejiu
Really! I suggest you visit Gejiu once.
It is said that there is a 'Little Hong Kong' in Yunnan, named Gejiu.
This small city located on the Tropic of Cancer, situated above the Ailao Mountains, on the north bank of the Red River.
It is the old prefecture of the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan, and also the famous 'Tin Capital of the World'.
Some say it is the 'most' suitable city in China for lying flat, very suitable for living.
Some say, having been to many cities in Yunnan, Gejiu may not have the most beautiful scenery or the best climate, but it is my favorite.
Because of the low housing prices, some compare it to Hegang, even coining the slogan 'Hegang in the north, Gejiu in the south'.
🔹Walking through Gejiu is like going back to the 1980s. Old buildings, slow life, soft dialect, colorful clothing, and abundant moisture.
Compared to other major travel cities in Yunnan, Gejiu is quite niche, and therefore retains an original and simple charm.
'Gejiu has not undergone grand urban planning, like an old friend who walked out of an art film, gentle, unassuming, quietly located on the Tropic of Cancer, with mountains stretching as far as the eye can see. You can't imagine that in the remote Honghe Prefecture of Yunnan, there is a city that possesses both beauty and antiquity unless you visit it yourself'
Once, Gejiu was prosperous and lively, the second wealthiest city in Yunnan. Such a past has left it with a charm that is simple on the outside but endlessly fascinating, with a feeling of hidden depth and renown.
🔹Walking through Gejiu, you'll find it somewhat resembles Chongqing, a city truly worthy of the name 'mountain city'.
High and low alleys spread throughout the city, many buildings are built on the slopes, and every corner tells a story, as long as you are good at discovering.
Yi women carrying bamboo baskets selling vegetables, Hani grandmothers peddling sour rice cakes, old high-rises towering close together, clanging cable cars, Jinhu Lake embedded in the city center...
🔹Walking through Gejiu, you will experience a sense of temporal dislocation and then find an indescribable fondness for this city.
At night when the lights are on, the night view of Jinhu Lake is bright and brilliant, and at that moment you suddenly understand why everyone calls it Little Hong Kong.
But unlike Chongqing or Hong Kong, Gejiu is like a forgotten city, very slow and peaceful, with no sign of modern fast-paced life.

And every spring, Gejiu's fame grows a little bit more, because of the vast pear blossoms that bloom in the valleys.
Below Gejiu is a village called 'Jiaji Zhai', hidden in the valleys, low-key and secretive, but you can't help but exclaim in admiration when you enter. Thousands of acres of pear blossoms are in full bloom, an unparalleled shock.
Follow our leader, fully appreciate the beauty of the pear orchard, and see the entire Jiaji Zhai Pear Blossom Valley.
Walking through the pear orchard, every step is a view. The gift of sunlight, the falling petals, the stretching valleys, on this piece of land in southeastern Yunnan, everything is just right.
Take many photos, leave many thoughts, take away the happiness, leave the memories.
This March, let's go to Gejiu to see the pear blossoms together~
It is worth going here, charge 20 yuan for health fees, flowers everywhere, pear flowers white, peach blossoms red, tourists' hearts bloom. If you have drones, you must bring them. There are several areas where the sea of flowers is worth taking pictures.
Every spring, everyone will see cherry blossoms, peach blossoms or sea otters, but few people will see pear blossoms, because the large area of pear blossoms is relatively small, and the cycle of pear blossoms is very short. In accordance with the principle of being different, I found the urgent place on the Internet, and I didn't think of it at first, because the traffic was really not very convenient, and then I hitched a friend's ride and came here. After the whole emergency debt entered, it was like entering the snow world. Although when the flowers were blooming, the local residents would organize themselves to collect 20 yuan tickets, but these 20 yuan tickets not only have invoices, but also quite worth it. Originally thought that 1,2 hours can be played to the end of the attraction, we played for a whole long time, maybe you will say that it is not pear flower? Why do you see it for so long? This feeling is only when you are in the sea of flowers, you will be intoxicated by him, and you will be attracted to him.
What color is the spring flower in your heart? Is Luoping's endless yellow rapeseed field? Is it the pink cherry blossoms that fall around Wuhan? I believe that whether Luoping or Wuhan, there will be many people taking pictures there. Here is a very small attraction in the southwest of the motherland, which is covered in white every spring. That is the pear flower of an old Jiajiazhai. Because it is a niche attraction, so to increase the debt, to see the pear flower transportation method is not convenient, most will take the form of self-driving, I took a car on the side of the road, just happened to be going to the Jiajiazhai, then went to see here. Before I came here, I didn't have much expectation here, after all, I still didn't have much interest and hobby in pear blossoms, but when I walked in, I was surprised by the endless white here. Because this season is the most beautiful time of the year, only this season will charge 20 yuan for tickets. The same is true during the peak season. The entrance and exit are not in the same place, so friends who drive by car must be prepared.
This place is not very convenient for transportation, but the sea of pear flowers is very beautiful
From the Yuanyang terraces, arrived at the old, went to the Jiajiazhai to see the pear flowers. The impression of the pear flowers should be "spring dream without trace"-like shape, and the pear flowers of the Jiajiazhai, but they came to the second bloom, dancing the magnificent beauty in a continuous undulating way, pure your eyes, shocking your heart.
