Captivating, Colourful and Full of Character.

This city of eternal spring is Kunming. With temperate climate year-round, the city is blessed with beautiful blooms. My visit was in March, and I remember fondly the enchanting cherry blossoms at Yuantongshan Park after our zoo visit, gorgeous views from the Western Hill, Jiaozi Snow Mountain and Stone Forest, the interaction with the black-headed seagulls at Dianchi lake as well as the informative exhibition at the Yunnan Nationalities Village. #thingstodo #familytravel #kunming #travel #cherryblossoms #mountains #seagulls #lake #china #nature

Escape to Timeless China: Kunming & Lijiang Edition 🌄🏯 Get ready to soak in dazzling landscapes and old-world charm with a trip that takes you from Kunming’s lush vistas to Lijiang’s storied streets. Perfect for those seeking a break from city hustle and a deep dive into ancient China’s heritage! Kunming – The Gateway to Scenic Serenity Start your journey at Green Lake Park for early-morning mist and local life—ideal for peaceful walks and candid photos of lakeside willows. Head to the Western Hills for panoramic views over Dianchi Lake; the Dragon Gate grottoes are must-climbs for those sweeping “insta-worthy” valley shots. Bus routes and taxis make these spots easily accessible, and most parks open from early morning (6:30 AM) till dusk. Lijiang – Cobblestone Tales & Mountain Backdrops Take the train or short flight to Lijiang and wander the UNESCO-listed Old Town. Snap shots of winding lanes, vibrant canal bridges, and traditional Naxi architecture—especially magical in early morning when crowds are thin and the golden light floods in. Visit Black Dragon Pool for jaw-dropping reflections of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (best viewed at sunrise and sunset). Don’t miss the Mu Family Mansion for a taste of Ming-era history and tranquil gardens. Pro Tips: ✨ Visit during weekdays for a quieter experience. 👟 Wear comfy shoes—lots of walking on uneven stone. 🧥 Bring layers—the mountain air can get brisk even in summer. ⏳ Lijiang’s Old Town is best explored before 9 AM for the calmest vibes. 🚉 Pre-book intercity transport for smoother transfers. #Kunming #Lijiang #AncientChina #ScenicTrip #CityEscape
