Kunming | A Charming Little Fishing Village by Dianchi Lake, Just the Right Amount of Romance

No need to go to Dali—right by Kunming's Dianchi Lake, you can stumble upon a quaint and leisurely little life. This is Haiyan Village. Most come for its sunset, but often miss the magic of dawn: sunlight spills over Dianchi Lake, turning the water into shimmering fragments of gold. When seagulls skim the surface, even the colorful clouds seem to dance. Find a lakeside café, order a coffee, and bask in the sun. You could laze here all day and never grow tired of it. Take a stroll here, and time itself slows down.
