A natural scenic gem

#discoverchina Dianchi Lake, the largest lake in Yunnan and the eighth largest in China, offers stunning views with the Western Hills as its backdrop. Often called the “Pearl of the Plateau,” it sits at an altitude of about 1,886 meters. The lake is famous for its migratory seagulls in winter. Despite past pollution, restoration efforts continue. Walking along the shore, I enjoyed the fresh air and the serene beauty of the landscape. #lake

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
