The roses in Daguan Yu Garden are stunningly beautiful

The Yu Garden, built in 1927 and also known as 'Yu Zhuang,' is located on the south side of Kunming's Daguan Park, also referred to as 'Daguan South Park.' It was the private garden of Yu Enxi, the mayor of Kunming during the Republic of China era, and its arch bridges, lotus ponds, rockeries, and surrounding dikes create a charm comparable to the gardens of the Jiangnan region, hence it is also known by the elegant name 'Zhenhu Jingshe'. Wandering through the garden, with its winding bridges and arches, small pavilions and vine trellises, and the presence of Western-style buildings like the Jinhou Tower, one does not feel any abruptness but only marvels at the beauty of the architecture that blends Chinese and Western styles. With the spring breeze caressing one's face and the fragrance of flowers in the air, a splendid feast of roses is being held in the Rose Garden of Yu Garden. The fiery and vigorous roses, some as large as the palm of a hand, cluster together to form a continuous sea of flowers. Some say that Daguan Park is Kunming's backyard, and the rose tide in Yu Garden is the romantic scene that must be visited at the turn of spring and summer each year. Within the Rose Garden, which spans over ten thousand square meters, hundreds of varieties and thousands of rose plants bloom in competition. One is already 'captivated' upon stepping into the garden. 📍Location: Daguan South Park (Yu Garden) 🗺️Route: The south gate is closest to Yu Garden, but it can also be reached from the main gate, west gate, east gate, Wulong River Trail, and Lu Garden Trail 💰Admission: Free (no reservation required) ⏰Opening hours: 7:00-19:00 👀Best viewing time: Early morning, evening 🌺Rose blooming season: April-May Civilized flower viewing: Take care of the flowers and plants, do not climb or break them; take photos civilly, do not trample on the flower beds
