Feedback on Kunming one-day tour guide!

Day 1 Depart from Nanjing✈️, arrive at Kunming Changshui International Airport at about 11:00 pm, take a taxi directly to the B&B (about half an hour, 70 yuan), pack up and go to bed 🏠🏠The B&B is located near Tangzi Lane (Pictures 2-4) Advantages: It is very close to the subway station/Nanqiang Pedestrian Street/Kunming Old Street, which makes it convenient to travel. The room is very clean and there is a small balcony for taking photos. In addition, the landlord also prepared disposable bath towels. It is really nice. good Disadvantages: The soundproofing is not very good, I will be woken up at around 7 o'clock in the morning, and there is no elevator on the second floor (the landlord has rooms on the first floor, but I think the second floor has better sunlight) Day 2 I got up around 10:00, washed and put on makeup, took a taxi to Kunming Old Street (it's not far to walk, but I didn't want to walk, the taxi price was too high), went shopping and ate. The Daishe Snacks Research Institute recommended by everyone was closed, so I didn't get to eat there. I tried it 🍲 The bean curd rice noodles (Figure 5) and Jiahua flower cakes were both average. 13:30 After lunch, walk to Duiyue Tower to check in, and then walk all the way to Cuihu Lake (I originally wanted to ride a bike 🚲🚲, but it’s hard to ride uphill on the old street! It takes more than ten minutes to walk there) It is very pleasant to stroll around Cuihu Lake, sit by the lake, enjoy the breeze and take photos! But I feel so tired after walking for a long time! ! Around 15:30, we came out of Cuihu Lake and took a taxi to Dounan Wetland Park. There was no need to go so early to watch the sunset. We waited until 6:30 or 7:00 (Picture 12). If you want to go to the beach, you can go directly Go to the Wangguan Wetland Park next to it. I walked for a long time in Dounan Wetland but couldn't find it. 19:00 Take a taxi from Dounan Wetland to Dounan Flower Market (Picture 13) It was very lively, there were lots of flowers, and the prices were very cheap, but I couldn’t take them all away myself, and I didn’t think it was cost-effective to mail them and pay the shipping fee, so I only bought a wreath (Figure 14). I must buy big flowers! It makes your face look small and looks good in photos! And it's only 5 bucks💰💰, so sad After walking around Dounan Flower Market, I chose a mushroom hotpot nearby. I really couldn't get used to it. The set meal cost 146 yuan and had 8 kinds of mushrooms, but my sister and I couldn't get used to it. 21:00 Take a taxi back to the B&B Day 3 I woke up naturally, packed up and checked out, and went to a random rice noodle shop near the B&B again 🍲🍲 (Picture 16). This time it felt okay, but not amazing. 12:00 Take a taxi to Kunming Station and set off for Dali~~~ Kunming part is finished✔️✔️✔️ I'll update after I finish the Dali part. By the way, I'd like to ask about the delicious food in Dali. It will rain tomorrow so I probably won't go to Erhai Lake.

Old Street Kunming

🌤️✨ Strolling through Kunming Old Street — where time slows down and stories unfold at every corner. Today I decided to spend the afternoon just wandering around Kunming Old Street — no fixed plans, no rush, just me, my camera 📸, and a curious heart 💛. The moment I stepped into the narrow lanes, I felt like I was walking into a blend of history and modern life. The air carried the faint aroma of roasted coffee ☕ mixed with the smoky scent of grilled street food 🍢. Old wooden shopfronts stood proudly beside trendy cafés, and every brick seemed to whisper stories from a hundred years ago. I couldn’t resist snapping photos of the rustic doors, red lanterns, and street murals 🎨 — each one more photogenic than the last! 📷✨ A local auntie smiled at me as she arranged flowers outside her tiny boutique 🌸. “欢迎拍照,” she said warmly, and I felt instantly at home. The people here have such a calm, welcoming energy — maybe that’s the Yunnan spirit . I stopped for a cup of rose-flavored milk tea 🌹🧋 and sat by the window watching life flow by — tourists laughing, kids chasing bubbles, a musician softly strumming a guitar 🎶. It felt like time paused for a while, letting me simply be present. As the sun began to set 🌇, the golden light painted the old street with warmth and nostalgia. I walked slowly, taking one last look around before heading back — grateful for the simple beauty of this place 💫. Kunming Old Street isn’t just somewhere to visit — it’s somewhere to feel. ❤️✨ #KunmingVibes #YunnanTrip #TravelMoments #WanderWithHeart 🌏📸

Old Street Kunming

Kunming’s Old Street is seriously a foodie heaven 🍡✨ From ancient vibes to street snacks, it’s like stepping into a living mural. Here’s why Kunming’s heart (Wuhua district’s Old Street) should top your must-visit list, especially if you’re chasing culture and a killer food scene. Must-See Places: – Old Street Kunming (Wuhua, Kunming, Yunnan, China; open 24/7): The ultimate daytime stroll—catch sunbeams warming centuries-old Chinese architecture and detailed murals. Grab your camera for the calligraphy and close-up shots of old-meets-new buildings. – Flower Cake Stands: This local dessert is a must. Tip—try them fresh and warm, straight from the street carts. They’re sweet, perfumed, and ultra yumm 🌸🥮 – Murals & Calligraphy Zones: Hunt for tucked-away outdoor cultural spots between busy courtyards. Perfect for rainy and sunny days alike! Travel Tips: – Kunming’s weather is unpredictable: bring a light raincoat even on “sunny” days—clouds roll in fast! – Foodie hack: Skip big restaurants at lunch, dive into Old Street’s mini cafes or stall stands instead for authentic snacks and desserts. – Most spots on Old Street are walkable—leave time to roam, every corner hides a new flavor or cool photo opp. – Pay in cash or local mobile apps; big bills often aren’t accepted at street snack vendors. Getting Around: Taxis and public buses are fast for Kunming’s compact city center. Set your GPS for “Wuhua Old Street”—the central hub for culture and food. Don’t miss those flower cakes—they’re iconic. End your day with street food, old buildings glowing under neon, and plenty of foodie snaps. #KunmingEats #FlowerCake #OldStreetKunming #ChinaTravel #FoodHunt#hellohalloween #YunnanViews
