Whether you like history, culture, natural scenery, or market leisure travel, Kunming will definitely satisfy you! This trip selects three popular attractions in Kunming: Old Street, Cuihu Park, and Dounan Flower Market 🌇1. Kunming Old Street Located in the city center, Old Street blends ancient Chinese architecture and modern life, making it perfect for a daytime stroll. The area around Civilization Street retains a lot of traditional architecture, the streets are clean, there are many hipster coffee shops, retro small shops, and whatever is beautiful in the twilight. It is recommended to start strolling from the entrance of Civilization Street and take pictures of the Chinese characteristic tiles and red-walled horse-head walls along the way. When you are tired from walking, you can sit down and drink a Yunnan Pu'er tea and feel the slow life in the local area. tips: 1. Recommended to visit in the morning or evening hours, the flow of people is relatively small, photography is unblocked. 2. Go out on a sunny day for better results, remember to bring a sun hat or sunglasses. 3. The holiday market is full of atmosphere, and you can look out for craft stalls and unique snacks. 🌳 2. Green Lake Park Cuihu Park is one of the most beautiful lakes in the city in Kunming. It is surrounded by coconut trees and willow trees. The hiking route around the lake is comfortable, and the scenery is different whether it is sunny or rainy. The park is divided into several areas, with photo spots such as waterside pavilion, nine-curved bridge and lotus pond. There are also many flowers in spring and summer. It is recommended to enter straight from the main entrance and walk around the lake for about an hour and a half. tips: 1.

獨遊初哥
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

There are many photo spots along the way to take pictures of the lake view and the distant mountains. Stop 3: Lijiang Ancient Town The ancient city of Lijiang is a World Cultural Heritage Site. The stone roads, wooden buildings and small bridges and flowing water in the ancient city are great for taking pictures. It is recommended to visit the ancient city in the afternoon to avoid the peak hours and stop by the ancient town of Duke Zong to feel the Tibetan style.
