Forums > Travel Yunnan > Biking around the Dianchi or Fuxian

Thanks Tiger.
I have been looking at the maps, and sometimes the topo map doesn't align with the streets, so not always so clear, and if the map has older with the way construction can move quickly here, it may not be up to date.

From the map, it appears that Fuxian lake has a road

going around the lake.
Dianchi like you mentioned doesn't seem to very hopeful and roads often not very near the lake.

West side of Lake seems close, but some of it appears to be a toll road, i.e. main highway, not good for riding, eh?

There doesn't seem to be any recent news or articles on biking around the lakes.

Are there bike paths around the lakes or part of the lakes?
If so, any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated.

Thx

Forums > Living in Kunming > Suggestions for Lake visit, S. Chenggong area

Being here now for a few days near University Town, the first thing I thought was "hey I can ride my bike again without fear of dying" :)

I'm sure it will change when the students all come back, but right now its pretty wide open and so far we are enjoying the peacefulness.

Hopefully can find some paths in the local hills once we start getting around more.

Does anyone have any suggestions for visiting the lake in South Chenggong?
I saw on the map a couple of parks west of the last couple of subway stops but have no idea if they would be good choices to hang out at the lake.
Or any other locations or ideas for visiting?

Taking two young kids as well, so that is a consideration also.

THX

Yep. I have always loved and still love the "Old Towns" no matter the naysayers and the "purists" of china travelers.
Yes, they are often crowded, overpriced, not authentic for the most part, but they have tons of personality IMO, and can always find great content for shooting pics or vids.

Hoping on what Ocean said, it's worth a visit, but if one wasn't going to the surrounding areas as well, I think I might as just visit the ocean park at Dounan, about the same, and cheaper.

Right now price is 230 per adult, add 30 yuan and it's year round pass.

kids about 150, plus 30.
kids under 110 cm free.

The biggest, and longest show is the circus, runs about an hour.

Everything Ocean stated about the park and shows is accurate.

Parking is 10 yuan and can stay overnight if adventurous?

Toilets and water close.
Food stalls and restaurants, but close at park closing time at 6 pm.

Nothing is in walking distance to the park, but there is a local market every morning, we went there to stock up on food and eat breakfast.

I think the biggest benefit of this place, if one is considering the annual pass, is the other local places to visit.

There is a large farm with a play area nearby, camping, and tiny home and trailer rentals.
Another parking lot to stay for free.

Shilin Forest and Jiuxiang Cave are close, with another large lake nearby and other farms.

Went there with the kids, was very cool.

Can rent traditional outfits, take pictures in the temple and throne, my girls loved it.
The town itself is great if you like the old traditional buildings, and they had some shows put on, music, dancing, and little skits.

For about 35 rmb each, kids free, was worth it, wished we had more time there.
