  • Lingxuge Pavilion of The Western Hills, Kunming

    Overview

    Lingxuge Pavilion (凌虚阁) is situated at the highest point of The Western Hills Park (西山风景区) in Kunming (昆明). From the South Entrance of The Western Hills, a short hike along a small trail takes about 10 minutes to reach Lingxuge Pavilion. This location offers the best panoramic night view of Kunming city.

    The Western Hills Park is located on the western side of Dianchi Lake (滇池) in Kunming, adjacent to Haigeng Park (海埂公园) and the Yunnan Ethnic Village (云南民族村). It is a 4A scenic area, renowned for its breathtaking views. Climbing the Western Hills allows visitors to overlook the expansive Dianchi Lake and the city of Kunming. Various Buddhist and Taoist structures can be found scattered throughout the mountains. Despite its proximity to the city, the Western Hills feature rugged terrain, with several narrow paths and cliffside trails that leave a lasting impression.

    One of the star attractions of the Western Hills is the Longmen Grottoes (龙门石窟). The phrase "登上龙门,身价百倍" captures the essence of this site, where visitors often experience a sense of elevation, both literally and metaphorically.

    Hiking to Lingxuge Pavilion

    Lingxuge Pavilion is the highest scenic spot in The Western Hills. Entering the park from the South Gate involves descending from a high point to reach Lingxuge, making it an easier route than taking the cable car. This pleasant descent allows hikers to enjoy the beautiful surroundings while making their way to this remarkable pavilion.
