Laoyu River Wetland Park Survival Guide: How to Fail Perfectly!

Dress as a local [Grin] "Attention, tourists! You have entered the park that looks least like a park in Kunming - Laoyu River Wetland Park. The grass here is wilder than in urban villages, there are more flowers than in internet-famous coffee shops, seagulls eat more than they poop, and the wind is stronger than your imagination. The key is that it's free! Free! Free! (Important things should be said three times)" 📷 Wild photography 1️⃣Holding the various flowers I bought in Dounan, I stand on tiptoe and look around 2️⃣ Wear a wreath on your head and sit on the wooden plank road 3️⃣ Take crazy selfies in the direction where the seagulls are flying Ps Many places near the water are backlit in the afternoon, so you need to walk more, otherwise you will become a yin-yang face or a big black face, and your girlfriend will definitely kick you away. Yes, the wind is very strong, yes, very strong, and occasionally it will rain on sunny days, so prepare your clothes to keep warm ~ and bring things like hats that are easily blown away ~ P.S. Be careful if you can't hold it tight, there will be a surprise randomly. 🚗Transportation Reference You can get there via Line 1/4. Anyway, you still need to take a taxi for another five or six kilometers. There are occasional traffic controls and parking lots for self-driving cars, but there are few spots and you have to look for them, which doesn't save time. I recommend taking a taxi first. 🍲Eat and drink these Although there is an amusement center, it doesn't feel like a regular scenic spot. When you enter the door, you will see snack stalls commonly seen in other places and traditional playgrounds that use ring fishing to coax children. The signboards are messy. Fortunately, it is not far away, so just follow the crowd. I personally don't recommend eating here. It's OK to bring some with you. Be careful not to litter and protect the environment. ⚠️People on the Internet say that sunsets are beautiful and easy to photograph. In fact, an ordinary mobile phone cannot capture those filter effects in backlight. Be careful to distinguish the information on the Internet. Moreover, the weather near the water is changeable, and there are only about ten minutes before and after the sunset, so you have to hurry up and shoot! Just find a place and press it mindlessly. If a black face doesn't work, just make it a silhouette. Hahaha

Laoyuhe Wetland Park

Laoyuhe Wetland Park is a perfect spot to beat the summer heat in Kunming. Surrounded by the beauty of Dianchi Lake, you'll feel refreshed as you journey through the Metasequoia forest. A special feature is the glass-bottomed boat ride, allowing you to admire the lush trees in the water up close. The wetland is meticulously maintained, making it a perfect place to connect with nature. Suggested Itinerary: We recommend visiting the park early in the morning or in the afternoon. First, stroll along the wooden bridge, weaving through the shaded trees and marshes, stopping to take in the moment. Then, rent a glass-bottomed boat. The boat ride offers a tranquil atmosphere, with stunning reflections of the Metasequoia forest, perfect for photo opportunities. After the boat ride, stroll along the lakeside, gazing out at the breathtaking Dianchi Lake and the surrounding mountains. Must-Do Activities: 1. Glass-bottomed Boat Tour: This tour allows you to observe aquatic life and trees up close, immersing you in the unique ecological environment of the wetland. 2. Check out the Metasequoia Forest: The underwater Metasequoia trees are a unique sight, so please ensure your camera/phone is fully charged. 3. Strolling along the wooden bridge: Observation decks along the way offer expansive views, perfect for a stroll and conversation with close friends. Recommended photo spots: - Reflections of Metasequoia trees on the glass boat - Overlooking Dianchi Lake from the lakeside observation deck - Snap photos of your friends in the middle of the wooden bridge Tips: 1. The park is open year-round from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM. In summer, it's recommended to arrive early and return late to avoid the peak sun at noon. 2. The ride is relatively cool, but it's recommended to bring a light jacket in case of rain or chilly weather in the mornings and evenings. 3. Space on the glass boat is limited, so it's best to reserve in advance (you can also wait on site). 4. Due to wetland conservation efforts, feeding or littering is prohibited. Remember to respect nature. 5. Food and beverages are available within the park, but you can also bring your own water and snacks. Notes: - The park's roads can be slippery, so be careful when walking, especially if you're traveling with the elderly or children. - Some sections of the road are close to the water, so be careful when taking photos. During peak season, crowds can be high, so plan ahead to avoid long waits. Summary: Laoyu River Wetland Park combines scenic views, leisure activities, and ecological education, making it a great destination for families, friends, and couples. Enjoy a refreshing summer retreat while experiencing the Kunming wetland ecosystem, getting some healthy exercise, and taking some stunning photos. It's definitely worth a visit!
