Not abroad! A 5-day and 4-night nanny-level travel guide to Kunming

I won't allow anyone to miss this in-depth Kunming travel guide! It takes you to enjoy Kunming in 5 days, check in at niche attractions, and experience authentic cuisine! Itinerary Day 1: Kunming Station - Haigeng Park - Haihong Wetland Park Morning: Arrive at Kunming Station and take the subway or bus to Haigeng Park. It is recommended to take the subway, which is fast and convenient. Afternoon: Stroll through Haigeng Park, admire the scenery of Dianchi Lake, and feel the comfort of the breeze. Then go to Haihong Wetland Park, where there are many seagulls that are not afraid of people. Bring bread to feed the seagulls freely. The two parks are very close to each other, and it takes half an hour to walk or five minutes by taxi. Accommodation: Near Haigeng Dam, convenient for watching seagulls the next day. Day 2: Haigeng Dam - Green Lake Park - Huang Gong East Street - Duiyuelou - Kunming Old Street - Nanping Street - Zuanxin Farmers Market Morning: Go to Haigeng Dam early. The seagulls become active at 8 o'clock, and the number of people will increase after 10 o'clock. You can take Metro Line 5 and then transfer to the free seagull watching line. Green travel can also avoid congestion. Afternoon: Go to Green Lake Park and try Cui Manlong's Posu Buns. Peanut and sesame Posu Buns are highly recommended! Start your city walk from Green Lake Park, pass by Huang Gong East Street to take photos, then go to Duiyuelou to feel the old Kunming style, stroll around Kunming Old Street and Nanping Street, and finally go to Zuanxin Farmers Market to find food. There are many fruits and snacks, and you can buy rose cakes, small pineapples, and sugar apples without hesitation! Accommodation: Still near Haigeng Dam. Day 3: Xishan - Haiyan Village Morning: Go to Xishan to overlook the panoramic view of Kunming, and enjoy a panoramic view of Dianchi Lake. Recommended easy route: Dianchi Lake Cableway - Longmen Cableway - Lingyun Pavilion - Longmen Grottoes - hike down the mountain - take a sightseeing bus to Dianchi Lake Cableway, and take the cableway down the mountain. Afternoon: Take a taxi for about 1 hour to Haiyan Village. This is a small fishing village, and the beach has an excellent view of the sunset, but it is easy to get stuck in traffic on the way back due to the large number of people. Remember to plan your time in advance. Accommodation: Near Kunming South Station. Day 4: Yunnan University Chenggong Campus - Laoyuhe Wetland Park Morning: Apply for admission to the school in advance on "Ping An Yun Da", and follow the small loop line of North Gate - Ze Lake - Bell Tower - Yunshan Botanical Garden - North Gate to admire various flowers and plants, as if walking into spring. Afternoon: Go to Laoyuhe Wetland Park, first go to the redwood forest for boating, and then go to the beach at 4 or 5 o'clock to feed the seagulls and watch the sunset. This is the most suitable park for watching seagulls! Accommodation: Near Kunming South Station. Day 5: Dounan Wetland Park - Dounan Flower Market - Kunming South Station Morning: Stroll around Dounan Wetland Park and breathe fresh air. Then go to Dounan Flower Market, which is very large and includes the main venue and Halls 1-5. Take a walk around to compare prices first. The stalls outside the venue are usually cheaper. Afternoon: Return home happily with lots of flowers! The transportation from the flower market to Kunming South Station is convenient, and you can take the subway directly. Summary This route covers the natural beauty, cultural customs, and special cuisine of Kunming. You can have close interaction with seagulls by Dianchi Lake, stroll through the old streets to feel the historical charm of Kunming, and admire the natural scenery in the campus and parks. Whether you want an in-depth tour or check in at popular attractions, it can meet your needs. Pack your bags and take a Kunming trip that you can leave for at any time!

Dounan Flower Fair

Dounan Flower Market (斗南花卉市场) is a AAA National Tourist Attraction in China, and it's an absolute paradise for flower lovers! You’ll find all kinds of blooms here — sunflowers, forget-me-nots in purple, white, and more, beautiful hydrangeas (绣球花), roses, orchids in every color you can think of, and even lotuses. Honestly, there are so many flowers, it’s hard to name them all! The way they arrange the flowers is so unique and creative — you’ll definitely want to bring a bunch home with you (if only you could!).
