The Luchong Resort
Located in southwest of Chengjiang beside the west bank of the famous Fuxian Lake, the Luchong resort is 20 kilometers away from downtown Chengjiang and 70 kilometers away from Kunming, only 1.5 hours of riding from Kunming by bus. The resort covers an area of 9.5 square kilometers with 3.2 kilometers coastline. It consists of the old fishing village, the new Luchong village, the Bijia (Chinese Writing Brush Holder) Mountains, and the Boxi (Waveless) Bay. The resort is surrounded by mountains and the Fuxian Lake, with Qilin (Kylin) Mountains to its south, Mopan Mountains to its west, Jianshan Mountains to its north, and the Fuxian Lake to its east. The whole area is picturesque, which has nurtured many outstanding personnels in history, known as “Two metropolitan graduates from one family, two imperial academicians in hundred steps.” The Bijia Mountains beside the resort is named after the brush holder of literati and the name of the bay Boxi means peaceful water without winds and waves. It was once a natural wonder here to catch anti-wave fish by piping water with wheel in summer and autumn.
