| The green light forest from fairy tales~. Kunming's version of Altay, Dashao Forest! Navigate to Dashao Forest, it's about an hour's drive from Songming, the road system is quite good, just that there are many curves. When you get to the entrance at Kunming (Caizidi) Jiaochangba, there's already a toll collection system in place, which probably means there will be a fee in the future (the fee details are at the end, I took a photo)! There's no signal once you enter the forest area, which is very dangerous, so don't just wander into the forest park! But if you drive along the road into it (inside the toll system), there's a vast grassland, perfect for camping, and the photos are beautiful, very comfortable (we arrived too late, just drove around and left)! We only dared to enter a little bit into the forest area, close enough to hear the sound of cars on the road, and had fun picking unknown mushrooms, didn't dare to eat them, nor were they enough to eat! A final reminder: be sure to take your trash with you, protect the environment!
