Fuxian Lake, Chengjiang fossils and lakeside villages

Pair clear lake water and mountain views with the fossils at Chengjiang Natural History Museum.

Getting there and back: Seven-seat private car from hotels within Kunming's Second Ring Road. The outbound drive is about 1.5 hours. Indicative pickup is 07:30. Private return to your hotel within Kunming's Second Ring Road. Indicative hotel arrival is 18:40.

Time and walking: A full day, 07:30–18:40. Fossil museum: 1.5 hours; beach: 40 minutes; Luchong, Bijia Mountain and wetland: 1 hour each. The product includes lakeside walking and climbing Bijia Mountain; it is not an entirely seated lake-viewing day. Bijia Mountain's elevated viewpoint involves climbing; a stair count is not given. Private transfers and meals offer seated sections. Boat trips are extra; a boat replacing walking is not promised.

Tickets and timing: The product requests full name, phone number and valid ID; passports are accepted. Package B starts at TWD 5475 per person for 2–5 people; listed admissions are included, meals and water activities cost extra.

Who it suits: Suits travellers who enjoy clear lake water and want a full day exploring several shoreline sections. Lake views do not mean swimming is permitted everywhere. Bijia Mountain is part of the itinerary; do not assume every lake tour requires little effort. Visitors enjoy the sense of quiet from clear water and surrounding mountain views. Stone Forest and Jiuxiang caves: Both are full multi-stop days; Jiuxiang caves and Fuxian Lake/fossil museum offer different natural experiences. Neither is an easy half day.

Arrange the date and time with the provider before putting this in your day.
