Colorful Yunnan Ancient City

Colorful Yunnan, the ancient city of Dian, is located on the south bank of Dianchi Lake in Kunming. As of 2018, it covers an area of ​​16,000 acres. Relying on the 500-mile Dianchi Lake landscape to nurture natural scenery, it is a veritable lung-cleansing paradise. It is listed as the top ten historical and cultural tourism projects in Yunnan Province. It is the first choice for people to experience the "most Yunnan" travel and living life. It is a national ecological tourism demonstration area and the core area of ​​"One Lake and Four Areas - Modern New Kunming South City"! In the 1950s, tens of thousands of bronze artifacts were unearthed from the ancient Dian cultural site, opening up a treasure trove of Yunnan’s historical and cultural resources[2]. Here, the air quality is excellent at a rate of 98.9% throughout the year. The main attractions include Yihai Wharf, Sakura Valley, Hot Spring Villa, and a health and retirement resort. There are also museums, a grand theater, an ancient Dian ethnic tribe, and other cultural, leisure, and entertainment areas in the surrounding area. More than 2,000 years ago, the ancestors living on the shores of Dianchi Lake created the ancient, mysterious, splendid and glorious ancient Dian civilization. As time passed, the ancient Dian civilization gradually disappeared in the dust of Yunnan history, leaving behind a series of mysteries that have remained unsolved for thousands of years. In the 1950s, this history that had been buried for thousands of years was unearthed by archaeologists. Tens of thousands of bronze artifacts unearthed from the ancient Dian culture site shocked China and the world with their rich historical and cultural information. Lifting the veil of history and awakening the mysterious ancient Dian culture from its slumber, the "Colorful Yunnan·Ancient Dian Cultural Tourism City" project is listed as the first of the ten major projects to open up the treasure house of Yunnan's historical and cultural resources. Relying on the ancient Dian cultural site of Shizhaishan in Jinning, Kunming, the bronze ware unearthed along the shores of Dianchi Lake and the splendid ancient Dian cultural charm, combined with rich ethnic customs and beautiful natural scenery, a mysterious, open, harmonious and ecological "Ancient Dian Cultural Tourism City" is created, making the profound ancient Dian culture come out from underground and become tangible. We strive to build the "Colorful Yunnan·Ancient Dian Cultural Tourism City" project into an environmentally friendly, resource-saving, and people-friendly demonstration project with culture as its core, integrating cultural tourism, leisure and vacation, ecological environment demonstration, elderly care and health care industry, livable community construction, and coordinated urban and rural development. It is an internationally influential and influential environmentally friendly, resource-saving, and people-friendly development demonstration project. The implementation of the "Colorful Yunnan·Ancient Dian Cultural Tourism City" project will surely help Kunming achieve the transformation and upgrading of its tourism industry, accelerate the construction of a world-renowned tourist city, and contribute to Yunnan's construction of a strong tourism province and expansion of opening up to the outside world. The "Colorful Yunnan·Ancient Dian City" project is one of the top ten historical and cultural projects in Yunnan identified by the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and the Yunnan Provincial Government. The project will be built into a first-class Chinese and internationally leading tourist destination that integrates high-quality cultural projects, high-quality tourist attractions, and tourist distribution centers; a national 5A-level ecological civilization tourism demonstration scenic spot that integrates regional traditional cultural characteristics with mountain and water environmental resources; and a place that integrates cultural experience, sightseeing, leisure and health, business exhibitions, entertainment, and office functions. A large-scale cultural tourism complex; a plateau inland lakeside city with superior environment and complete facilities, a new southern city for landscape vacation, retirement, health care and leisure; a national-level "ecological tourism demonstration zone" and "ethnic cultural tourism demonstration zone". It only takes 10 minutes to get there by transferring to the North-South Express Line of the subway from Kunming New South Station.

Spent an unforgettable day in Kunming, China — where delicious food meets stunning scenery 🌸🍲. From vibrant street eats to tranquil lakeside moments, every stop was its own highlight. Must-See Places: 1. Green Lake Park (翠湖公园) – Address: NO.67 Cuihu Road, open 7am-9pm. Morning walks here deliver peaceful vibes, cool bridges, and lush willow trees. 2. Yunnan Provincial Museum (云南省博物馆) – Address: No.6393 Guangfu Road, open 9am-5pm (closed Mondays). Dive into Yunnan’s rich history and get a taste of local culture with ancient artifacts. 3. Nanping Street Food – This bustling food hub is where I found everything from sizzling rice noodles to wild mushroom skewers. Be brave and try something new — the flavor combos are amazing! 4. Dianchi Lake – Address: Dianchi Road area, best during afternoon for misty mountain views and photo ops. Grab a lakeside coffee and soak in the scenery. Personal Tips: Kunming’s food scene is wild! Don’t skip rice noodles ("guoqiao mixian") and fresh fruit from street vendors — both make for the perfect refuel before more sightseeing. For camera-worthy views, Dianchi Lake at sunset is unbeatable. Special moments: random chats with friendly locals, surprise street performances, and the way green tea just tastes better here — magic in the everyday. Getting Around: Use the local metro for fast and cheap commutes, plus buses get you to big sights like Dianchi easily. Taxis are everywhere and ride hailing is reliable. Food Recs: Try snacks in Nanping Street first, then dinner at a lakeside spot near Dianchi for the freshest fish dishes! #KunmingEats #GreenLakeKunming #ChinaTravel #FoodieFinds #TripCom
