Introduction to Dragon Gate on Western Hills (昆明西山龙门风景区)
Dragon Gate on Xishan (Western Hills) is a part of the Western Hills Forest Reserve in Kunming. The path which leads to the Dragon Gate is cut into the surface of the mountain which gives an amazing view of Dianchi Lake and Kunming. If you find the 1 hour 30 minutes trek up the mountain by foot too tiring you can take a cableway from the Yunnan Nationalities Village. |
