Yunnan Wenshan Bamei Village Travel Guide
Scenic spot introduction:
Bamei Village in Wenshan, Yunnan Province is known as the real-life version of the "Peach Blossom Spring" written by Tao Yuanming. It has river valleys, flowing water, green bamboos, waterwheels, farmland, thatched cottages, and peach blossoms. It is incomparably poetic. From ancient times to the present, Bamei Village has maintained contact with the outside world almost exclusively through a limestone water cave. They can enjoy themselves, and as long as there is salt to eat, beauties can even refuse all interactions with the outside world. The unique geographical environment has created a simple and unsophisticated style of Bamei that is free from the world and can hear chickens and dogs, which is very much like that quiet and carefree "paradise". The scenery here is gentle and moving, so it has become the new favorite of photography enthusiasts across the country, and the traditional Zhuang customs are also intoxicating.Attractions distribution:
Bamei is located in the north of Guangnan County, Wenshan, 450 kilometers away from Kunming. The village is dominated by original pastoral scenery.

At the bus stop in front of Guangnan County Passenger Terminal, take bus No. 3, the terminal stop is Bamei (fare 8 yuan, about 1 hour). But after getting off the bus, there is still a 1-kilometer road from the Bamei Village ticket office to the Taoyuan Cave entrance by boat to enter the village. It takes 15 minutes to walk.
