Third time in Kunming, please directly copy this nanny-level travel guide

After visiting Kunming three times, I can responsibly say that this place should not just be a transit stop for many people traveling in Yunnan❗️ - Day 1️⃣ Former Site of Southwest Associated University - Wenhua Alley - Wenlin Street - Yunnan University ☑️ Former Site of Southwest Associated University: Located within Yunnan Normal University, it includes the Southwest Associated University Museum and historical relics. The campus of Yunnan Normal University is also very beautiful. You can make a free reservation in advance on Xiaochengxu 🍊🤫. ☑️ Wenhua Alley + Wenlin Street: These two streets are connected and full of vintage shops, dining, cafes, bookstores, and small bars. ☑️ Yunnan University: The East Lu Campus of Yunnan University is truly one of the most beautiful campuses! You can make a free reservation in advance on Xiaochengxu 🍊🤫. - Day 2️⃣ Army Lecture Hall - Cuihu Park - Huanggong East Street ☑️ Army Lecture Hall: A famous former military academy, now a free attraction. ☑️ Cuihu Park: A must-visit park in Kunming with beautiful scenery. You can see seagulls in winter. Highly recommend taking a boat ride once, it’s so comfortable! There are many dining and coffee shops around. ☑️ Huanggong East Street: Known for its iconic yellow walls and red flowers, it has become a popular Instagram spot in Kunming. - Day 3️⃣ Huashan South Road - Trinity International Chapel - Abnormal Café - Kunming Old Street (Duiyuelou) - Yunnan Art Museum - Nanping Pedestrian Street ☑️ Huashan South Road: A historic and trendy street area, featuring the large "Kunming" character wall and Ho Chi Minh’s former residence. ☑️ Trinity International Chapel: A Gothic-style building built in 1903, very photogenic. ☑️ Abnormal Café: The classic location of the "Kunming" check-in wall. ☑️ Kunming Old Street (Duiyuelou): A landmark building combining old residential houses and modern commerce. ☑️ Nanping Pedestrian Street: A very popular commercial street, known as Kunming’s "Chunxi Road." - Day 4️⃣ Yunnan Provincial Museum - Guandu Ancient Town - Dounan Flower Market - Dounan Wetland Park ☑️ Guandu Ancient Town: A historic town and one of the birthplaces of Dian culture. ☑️ Dounan Flower Market: Asia’s largest fresh cut flower trading market, with a wide variety and cheap prices. ☑️ Dounan Wetland Park: A wetland park not far from Dounan Flower Market, a lesser-known spot to enjoy the beautiful Dianchi Lake scenery. ⚠️ The attractions in the first three days are almost all in one area. If you don’t feel tired, you can visit them consecutively to save time. - 🏨 Kunming Accommodation I personally recommend staying near ☑️ Cuihu Park, ☑️ Kunming Old Street, or ☑️ Hang Lung Plaza for convenient travel. The first two areas mostly have older hotels or cost-effective hotels/guesthouses, represented by Cuihu Hotel. The latter is a concentrated area of five-star hotels in Kunming, represented by Kunming Grand Hyatt Hotel. - For the last two visits, I stayed at Kunming Grand Hyatt Hotel. The location is excellent, with a subway station not far from the entrance. There is an internal corridor directly connecting to Hang Lung Plaza (currently Kunming’s most upscale mall), making dining, shopping, and entertainment very convenient. . Personally, I think many guides recommend staying near Cuihu, but that area has heavy traffic and crowds, making transportation chaotic. Hang Lung is quieter. . The hotel’s decoration style is incredibly photogenic, with standard rooms starting at 45㎡. The rooms have great views and many smart-controlled facilities. . My favorite is their breakfast, which is rich in variety and delicious. I usually can’t get up for breakfast at many hotels, but at Kunming Grand Hyatt, I can again😘 -

Dianchi 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

Old Street Kunming

🌤️✨ Strolling through Kunming Old Street — where time slows down and stories unfold at every corner. Today I decided to spend the afternoon just wandering around Kunming Old Street — no fixed plans, no rush, just me, my camera 📸, and a curious heart 💛. The moment I stepped into the narrow lanes, I felt like I was walking into a blend of history and modern life. The air carried the faint aroma of roasted coffee ☕ mixed with the smoky scent of grilled street food 🍢. Old wooden shopfronts stood proudly beside trendy cafés, and every brick seemed to whisper stories from a hundred years ago. I couldn’t resist snapping photos of the rustic doors, red lanterns, and street murals 🎨 — each one more photogenic than the last! 📷✨ A local auntie smiled at me as she arranged flowers outside her tiny boutique 🌸. “欢迎拍照,” she said warmly, and I felt instantly at home. The people here have such a calm, welcoming energy — maybe that’s the Yunnan spirit . I stopped for a cup of rose-flavored milk tea 🌹🧋 and sat by the window watching life flow by — tourists laughing, kids chasing bubbles, a musician softly strumming a guitar 🎶. It felt like time paused for a while, letting me simply be present. As the sun began to set 🌇, the golden light painted the old street with warmth and nostalgia. I walked slowly, taking one last look around before heading back — grateful for the simple beauty of this place 💫. Kunming Old Street isn’t just somewhere to visit — it’s somewhere to feel. ❤️✨ #KunmingVibes #YunnanTrip #TravelMoments #WanderWithHeart 🌏📸

Old Street Kunming

Kunming’s Old Street is seriously a foodie heaven 🍡✨ From ancient vibes to street snacks, it’s like stepping into a living mural. Here’s why Kunming’s heart (Wuhua district’s Old Street) should top your must-visit list, especially if you’re chasing culture and a killer food scene. Must-See Places: – Old Street Kunming (Wuhua, Kunming, Yunnan, China; open 24/7): The ultimate daytime stroll—catch sunbeams warming centuries-old Chinese architecture and detailed murals. Grab your camera for the calligraphy and close-up shots of old-meets-new buildings. – Flower Cake Stands: This local dessert is a must. Tip—try them fresh and warm, straight from the street carts. They’re sweet, perfumed, and ultra yumm 🌸🥮 – Murals & Calligraphy Zones: Hunt for tucked-away outdoor cultural spots between busy courtyards. Perfect for rainy and sunny days alike! Travel Tips: – Kunming’s weather is unpredictable: bring a light raincoat even on “sunny” days—clouds roll in fast! – Foodie hack: Skip big restaurants at lunch, dive into Old Street’s mini cafes or stall stands instead for authentic snacks and desserts. – Most spots on Old Street are walkable—leave time to roam, every corner hides a new flavor or cool photo opp. – Pay in cash or local mobile apps; big bills often aren’t accepted at street snack vendors. Getting Around: Taxis and public buses are fast for Kunming’s compact city center. Set your GPS for “Wuhua Old Street”—the central hub for culture and food. Don’t miss those flower cakes—they’re iconic. End your day with street food, old buildings glowing under neon, and plenty of foodie snaps. #KunmingEats #FlowerCake #OldStreetKunming #ChinaTravel #FoodHunt#hellohalloween #YunnanViews
