Discovering Longlong Ecological Fish Angling: A Hidden Gem in Pu’er
When I first heard about Longlong Ecological Fish Angling in Pu’er, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But after spending a full day there, it quickly became one of my favorite fishing spots in Yunnan. Nestled in a quiet village, this spot offers more than just a chance to cast a line—it’s a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Location & Accessibility
Longlong Ecological Fish Angling is located in Longlong Village, Yixiang Town, Simao District, Pu’er City. Getting there was surprisingly easy: the roads are well-maintained, and there’s clear signage leading to the spot. Whether you’re driving from Pu’er city center or coming from nearby areas, you won’t get lost. The surrounding scenery is lush and green, with rolling hills and fresh air—perfect for setting the mood before you even start fishing.
Fishing Spot Details
- Area: Approximately 7 acres (about 2.8 hectares)
- Number of fishing spots: 20 well-spaced positions
- Water depth: Around 3 meters (10 feet)
- Water quality: Crystal clear, with natural filtration from the local ecosystem
What stood out most was the water quality. Unlike some crowded fishing spots with murky water, Longlong’s pond is clean and clear—you can even see small fish swimming near the surface. The 20 fishing spots are evenly distributed, so you won’t feel cramped next to other anglers. The depth is consistent, which is great for targeting different types of fish without having to adjust your setup constantly.
Fishing Experience & Environment
I arrived early in the morning, and the spot was already filling up with local anglers, but there was still plenty of space. The staff was friendly and helpful—they gave me a quick tip about the best bait for the local fish species (turns out corn works wonders!). Over the course of the day, I caught a few nice-sized carp and tilapia, which was satisfying for a casual angler like me.
The environment is incredibly peaceful. There are no loud noises from traffic or construction, just the sound of birds chirping and water rippling. It’s the kind of place where you can disconnect from your phone and just enjoy the moment. The surrounding trees provide shade, so even on a sunny day, you won’t get too hot.
Pricing & Value
The fee is 100 yuan per day, which I think is reasonable for the experience. For that price, you get unlimited fishing time, access to clean facilities, and a quiet, well-maintained spot. I’ve paid more for crowded spots with worse conditions, so this felt like a good deal.
Final Thoughts
By the end of the day, I left with a few fish, a relaxed mind, and a new favorite fishing spot. If you’re in Pu’er and love fishing (or even just want a quiet day outdoors), Longlong Ecological Fish Angling is worth checking out. It’s not just a fishing spot—it’s a chance to slow down and enjoy nature. I’m already planning my next trip there with a few friends!
