As autumn deepens, Kunming quietly transforms into a colorful world of chrysanthemums. While other places are getting colder, the chrysanthemums here are in full bloom, adding a touch of gorgeous autumn colors to the spring city with their colorful colors and graceful demeanor.
Step into the best place to appreciate chrysanthemums, and you will see chrysanthemums of various colors competing for beauty. The golden chrysanthemums are brilliant and dazzling, like the warm sun shining on the world; the snow-white chrysanthemums are pure and elegant, like the lightness of the first snow in winter; there are also red ones like fire and pink ones like clouds. Different varieties have different shapes, or the petals are stretched like a plate, or curled like silk, layered, forming a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers. When the breeze blows, the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, refreshing, attracting bees and butterflies to fly, adding vitality. Tourists can stroll among them, not only to carefully appreciate the delicate details of the chrysanthemums, but also to take pictures to freeze this autumn splendor. Kunming's chrysanthemums, with their unique charm, invite you to an autumn feast.

A detailed 2-day itinerary for Kunming, a lazy person's dream.

A detailed 2-day itinerary for Kunming, a lazy person's dream.

Kunming is a must-see❗ Don't just treat it as a stopover! Siberian seagulls, Dounan Flower Market (the largest flower market in Asia)💐, Zhuanxin Farmers' Market with its strong local flavor, no one can resist🙅🏻‍♀️ 🏠Accommodation: Near the high-speed railway station DAY: Haigeng Dam→Haigeng Park→Haihong Wetland Park→Dounan Flower Market→Laoyuhe Wetland Park ✅Leave at 9:00 am and take a bus to Haigeng Dam to feed the seagulls. There are so many seagulls here and they are not afraid of people at all. Take photos📸 as you walk to Haigeng Park, which takes about ten minutes. There are no railings in Haigeng Park, so you can get close to the seagulls. Then walk to Haihong Wetland Park, where the red cedar trees are beautiful! ✅At 14:00, ride a bike from Haihong Wetland Park to the subway station and go to Dounan Flower Market. It is the largest flower market in Asia🌏, with many beautiful flowers. It is a paradise for girls, and no one leaves empty-handed! ✅At 16:00, take a bus from the flower market to Laoyuhe Wetland Park to watch the sunset. Arrive at around 17:00, which is just the right time. You must go here to watch the sunset🌇, which is beyond words! DAY: Haigeng Dam→Zhuanxin Farmers' Market→Duiyue Building→Abnormal Coffee→Huanggong East Street→Green Lake Park→Yunnan Military Academy ✅Leave at 6:40 am and go to Haigeng Dam to watch the sunrise🌅. I love seagulls so much that I came to feed them again. Then take a bus and transfer to the subway to Zhuanxin Farmers' Market. I highly recommend the farmers' market, where there are many fruits and vegetables🎃 that I have never seen before. The roasted eggplant🍆 and preserved egg are delicious. If you can't eat spicy food, ask for less chili. ✅At 11:00 am, ride a bike from the farmers' market to Duiyue Building. After taking photos of the landmark building, walk to Abnormal Coffee and have a cup of coffee to rest. Then walk to Huanggong East Street (in the alley, only suitable for taking photos). Walk from Huanggong East Street to Green Lake Park (which is average). The Yunnan Military Academy is right outside the park. The yellow building looks great in the sun☀️! 🚅15:40 Take a train home 🧡Tips 1. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so bring a thick coat. 2. Wear sunscreen!!! Thank you for reading. See you next time👋🏻

As one of the few courtyard-style wild luxury resort hotels in Kunming, the main style of the hotel is still based on the modern style of wabi-sabi and exclusive IP art style, making the whole space full of vitality and creativity. The unique design of furniture and decorations create a comfortable and high-end living experience.

Each room has a different design style, comfortable and cozy, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow you to see the stream, different scenery in the morning and evening, soft lighting, and every corner is a great background for photos.

It can be said that it is the only hotel in Yunnan with a cigar room! Hotel service: The hotel service is one-on-one, and the butler is very attentive and thoughtful, which is worth the money for me. Hotel check-in location: In addition to the room, the first-floor lobby and dining area are also photo spots, as well as the third-floor eaves seating area and rooftop terrace are also great places to take photos!

Kunming has a lot of delicious food. If you are in the mood of eating food from Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam then you should definitely visit Kunming Old Street. Unlike other typical old streets in China, I would say that Kunming Old Street really has the tastiest food out of all the cities I have visited. I was surprised that they didn’t sell Stinky tofu on this street. Definitely try the rose cake it’s delicious 😊

Forest Park

The scenic area is relatively large and peculiar tourist destination in Kunming. It is very suitable for a whole day travel. There's lots to play, I had so much fun. At first we took the bus, then gone up to the mountain by cable car, and walked our way down. The view you get from the top is just so stunning! Overlooking the whole Kunming will get you stunned. The Dianchi lake is gorgeous. Such a cool place to take nice shots. This attraction can't be missed~ 📍Take Metro Line 3 to the terminal station, just few steps to the ticket office. 📍Ticket is 75, bus + cableway + battery car. #awesomepic #naturalwonders #themepark

Kunming Brings Monet's Garden to Life!!

Kunming Brings Monet's Garden to Life!!

🌸🔥Complete Guide to Kunming Fengze Botanical Garden · Flower River Wonderland💦 [A Photographer's Paradise] 🌊✨A River That Blooms! Triple attack of cherry blossom sea + white starflower carpet + crystal-clear water. Pink cherry blossoms explode into clouds of rosy hues along the riverbank, a gentle breeze transforms the scene into an anime in seconds. Petals fall 360° like snow, the water surface covered with a velvety carpet of petals. 💧Ottelia acuminata (the real "fickle" flower!) blooms like a white angel. The glassy water reveals the reflection of petals, and koi carp swim through the flowers, creating a living oil painting. 📸Unedited photos look amazing! Even phone pictures turn out great. [Photo-Taking Guide] ⏰7:00-10:00 AM | Natural soft light filter 👗Hanfu/white dress + straw bag = ultimate fairy vibes 🎞️Must-shoot spots: ❶Stand on the bridge and shoot down at people in the middle of the flower river (wide angle is a must) ❷Squat by the riverbank and take close-ups of petals + swimming fish (use portrait mode) ❸Shoot backlit cherry blossoms to make hair glow (a reflector makes it even better) [Transportation Tips] 📍Navigation: Kunming Fengze Botanical Garden (1 hr drive) 🚌Bus route: Subway Line 4 → Gucheng Station Exit D, transfer to Anning Bus No. 36 💡Important! Free shuttle bus at 9:00/11:00 daily (Reservations are recommended 1 day in advance via the official WeChat account!) 💰Tickets 20 RMB for the whole day | Half price for students 🍱Hidden perk: Fried potatoes sold by the aunties at the entrance are only 5 RMB and super filling 🔥Quick tips: ✅Bring slippers! You can step into the shallows to take photos of reflections in the water. ✅Cloudy days are actually better for photos (less reflection on the water surface) ❌Don't go on weekends! Fewer people on weekdays, so you can have the whole river to yourself.

Cuihu Park | Slow down your life!!!

Cuihu Park | Slow down your life!!!

| Slow down your life!!! Walking hurriedly from the noisy and complex city and the rigid workplace, as soon as you step into Cuihu, you will immediately feel relaxed both physically and mentally. Stress dissipates from life, and troubles and grievances are diluted a bit by the mundane concerns of daily life. Unconsciously, people's pace slows down, and they even stop to sit on the stone benches, looking at the surrounding scenery. 😌 Cuihu is the root of Kunming!!! 💚 The facilities in the park are as follows: 1. Guanyu Tower: A Qing Dynasty Chinese-style building, with pavilions and towers built along the lake for the pleasure of watching fish, it is a good place for leisure. 🐟 2. Lianhua Zen Temple: This is a temple that was rebuilt in the tenth year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1884), and later converted into a stage by Long Yun, a place to experience traditional Chinese culture. 🎭 3. Haixin Pavilion: In the thirty-first year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1692), Wang Jiwen, the governor of Yunnan, built the 'Biyi Pavilion' on the island in the heart of Cuihu Lake, which we now call 'Haixin Pavilion'. 💖 4. Lotus and Willow Area: In summer, sitting on the dike covered with willows, quietly watching the splendid lotus flowers and lush lotus leaves, people often say: 'A world of fish in ten acres of lotus, half the city of willows and Buddhist towers.' You can also see a few Jacaranda trees by the lake, which is truly an unexpected delight. 🌿🌸
