Kunming Local's Travel Guide: Play well and save money

Hi guys, as a Kunming local, I can't bear to see you spend money and take detours in Kunming! I've compiled a super practical travel guide for you, so you can experience the charm of Kunming in depth. Don't forget to save it! ✨ 🏠 Accommodation recommendation: Kunming Qingfeng Guesthouse (Dianchi Haigeng Dam Branch) This is my private guesthouse. Open the window and you can see the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake. Sleep with the gentle lake breeze at night, and you'll feel so relaxed. The guest rooms are clean and cozy, and the decoration is very stylish. The owner is a warm and hospitable old Kunming resident. He will not only help you plan your itinerary, but also share various niche experiences that only locals know. You'll feel right at home. 🚗 Travel guide Transportation in Kunming is very convenient! There is Metro Line 6 at Changshui International Airport, which can take you directly to the city. You can take the subway or bus within the city to get to any place you want to go. If you want more freedom, you can rent a car and drive yourself. You can also enjoy the scenery along the way. From the guesthouse, it's very close to Dianchi Lake and other attractions, so you don't have to worry about the long journey. 🍜 The taste of Kunming Douhua rice noodles: Slippery rice noodles with rich douhua and spicy meat sauce, full of layers. Yiliang roast duck: Crispy skin and tender meat, not greasy, with a special dipping sauce, fragrant to the bone. Dai-style ghost chicken: Unique spices and tender chicken perfectly blended, the more you eat, the more you want. Papaya water: Sweet and refreshing, full of childhood memories. 🌟 Must-visit attractions Dianchi Lake Haigeng Dam: In winter, red-billed gulls fly from Siberia. Buy a bag of gull food and have a close interaction with these lovely little elves. Take a photo and you'll have a great shot! 📷 Guandu Ancient Town: A historical ancient town with many buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Here you can stroll through the ancient streets, taste Guandu Baba, and experience the fireworks of old Kunming. Jiazi Snow Mountain: If you want to see the snow mountain scenery, Jiazi Snow Mountain is definitely the best choice. In spring and summer, you can appreciate the wildflowers all over the mountain, and in autumn and winter, it's a world of ice and snow, so beautiful that it's breathtaking. Dongchuan Red Land: The palette of nature, the colorful land is particularly dazzling under the sunlight. Standing on the viewing platform, overlooking this magnificent scenery, it's like walking into an oil painting. 💡 Warm tips ✅ The ultraviolet rays in Kunming are strong. Please take sun protection measures when going out, such as sunscreen, sun hat, and sunglasses. ✅ When eating wild mushroom hotpot, be sure to wait until the mushrooms are cooked to avoid poisoning. ✅ Try to avoid visiting attractions during holidays, otherwise it will be crowded and the experience will be greatly reduced. Guys, follow this guide and you'll have a great time and eat to your heart's content in Kunming! Let's go! 🎉
