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

🇨🇳 China Yunnan 4 days Itinerary 🐾 Itinerary Overview Recommendations for food 🍄 Perfect score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yunnan Mushroom Hot Pot 🍲 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crossing-the-bridge noodles 🍜 ⭐️⭐️ Rose petal pastry 🌹 🗓️ Day 1 📍Kunming Old Street 昆明老街 🛍️ When we arrived in Kunming, it was already evening. We headed to the Kunming Old Street which was popular for cheap clothing and souvenirs. The streets were vibrant with Chinese traditional architecture with lights and filled with local vendors selling delicious snacks. We bought the Yunnan traditional rose petals pastry 🥮. It tastes sweet and chewy filling with rose petals inside. 🌹 🗓️ Day 2 📍 Laoyuhe Wetland Park 捞鱼河湿地公园🎣 We spent the whole afternoon and evening, a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle 🏞️. The most attractive part was riding a transparent boat 🛶 that glided through the lush, green jungle. 📍Lavender Field 滇池绿道薰衣草庄园 🪻 Near to the wetland, there was a stunning lavender field, where the vibrant purple flowers filled the surroundings with a calming fragrance under the sunset. We took countless pictures, and stayed till night to leave. 🤳 🗓️ Day 3 📍Dali 🚄 Around 2 hours train from Kunming 📍Dali Upon arrival, we visited Erhai Longkan Pier (大理龙龛) and were captivated by the picturesque views of Erhai Lake. The atmosphere was lively, with many photographers offering their services for professional photos. 🎥 Before committing, we requested a couple of test shots to find a photographer whose style matched our vision. It was a delightful experience, capturing the beauty of Dali and its surroundings. 🏞️ 🗓️ Day 4: Dali Photo Studio We booked a photo shooting session at a little farm 👨🌾 that had a variety of animals, including chickens, 🐓 sheep, 🐑 and friendly cats🐈🐈⬛ . Our photo shooting package included 1 hour for makeup 💄and clothing changes 👗, followed by a 2-hour photo session 📸. The studio offered a selection of clothing styles and themes, including western princess 👑 , mermaid 🧜♀️ , and traditional ethnic attire representing the Miaozu and Zangzu minorities ⭐️. After dressing up, my photographer drove us to the little farm. The adorable sheep were gentle who patiently posed and waited till you finished a photo. 📝 Reminder If you’re traveling to China, I suggest you to use the below apps: 1️⃣ 🗺️ Map: Gaode Map Gaode Map helps you find the fastest route to your destinations 2️⃣ 🚕 Taxi app: DiDi Global Always the best price for taxi / private car ride, remember keep track on your routes after getting on the car! 3️⃣ 🏖️ Attractions: RedNote (Xiaohongshu) If you’re confused about where to go next, check the RedNote! 4️⃣ 💵 Payment Method: Alipay Suggest you to use Alipay to prevent extra interest on credit cards 💳
