If you love nature and waterfalls, you should definitely visit the Nine Dragons Waterfall in Qujing, Yunnan province. This amazing scenic spot is home to ten stunning waterfalls of different sizes and shapes, each with its own legend and charm. The largest one, called the No.1 Cascade of Jiulong, is 56 meters high and 110 meters wide, and looks like a giant arch of water crashing down from the sky. You can hear its thunderous roar from far away, and see rainbows forming in the mist.

Tengchong Volcano Park is located in the western parts of the Gaofenggong Mountains in the Hengduan Range. Lying at the edge of the Eurasian Plate, the cluster movement in this area is very active. The volcanoes were formed when lava, ashes and smoke were emitted during severe earthquakes.

Guanyi village is a hidden gem in the Honghe region of Yunnan province, China. It is home to the Hani people, who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries. The village is surrounded by spectacular terraced rice fields, which change color with the seasons. The villagers have preserved their traditional culture and lifestyle, such as their unique architecture, clothing, festivals, and cuisine. Guanyi village is a perfect destination for travelers who want to experience the authentic and diverse beauty of China.
 

On a hill south of town, this early 19th-century structure is meant to resemble a writing brush, although to a modern traveler it may look more like a factory smokestack. You cannot drive to the tower, but there is a more or less informal trail people use to approach the tower from the southwest, starting at a roadside sign in Baishuihe Village. The tower is a solid stone structure, without any interior space or a staircase. So any views you get are those from the ground at the base of the tower (not particularly great).
