Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Archway & Nanqiang Pedestrian Street Guide

#September Good Places 2025 Kunming has always been one of the most comfortable travel cities in my heart - this trip includes Jinma Bi Chicken Square and Nanqiang Pedestrian Street, both are super convenient walking photo routes, whether you like food street shop, or want to take beautiful photos to feel the cultural atmosphere, you will have a surprise discovery! After a few days of free travel, I really feel that Kunming's pedestrian street can eat all the taste of Yunnan, and can easily buy authentic souvenirs, super suitable to bring friends together to chill ~ Attraction inventory recommendations: 1️⃣ Golden Horseshoe Chicken Place Kunming's landmark Jinma Bi Chicken Plaza is not only classic enough for taking pictures, but also a gathering place for food, shopping and culture. The golden and shining archway shape has different flavors both day and night. There are many food stalls and specialty restaurants nearby - come and have a portion of cross-bridge rice noodles or cool rice noodles, which is definitely the first stop to break the ice! Remember to take a beautiful photo, there are also specialty souvenir shops to shop: Yunnan Pu'er tea, fresh flower cakes are suitable to take home. 📍Address: No. 10, Jinma Lane, Xishan District, Kunming, Yunnan Province ⏰Open all day year round 2️⃣ Nanqiang Pedestrian Street Nam Keung Street is loved by locals and is lined with snack shops, cafes and hipster restaurants. Most recommended to come in the afternoon, in addition to authentic food (such as fried bait cubes, grilled tofu, Yunnan milk fans), at night there are various street performances: live Live, dance, and even ethnic music performances. Some shops sell handmade gadgets and designer brands, so you can choose your favorite. Suitable for a group of friends to go together, tired of walking thinking of finding a cafe to sit and chill for an hour. ✦ Tip: It is recommended to wear more comfortable shoes when strolling through Golden Horse and Nanqiang Pedestrian Street, because there are other small streets where you can stroll along the way; ✦ Food Recommendations: - Cross Bridge Rice Noodles (old shop near Kim Ma Pik Chicken Place) - Yunnan fresh flower cake - Fried bait chunks/Yunnan rice dried (worth a try at the snack shop on Nanqiang Street) ✦ Transportation guide Jinma Bi Chicken Plaza and Nanqiang Pedestrian Street are not far away, 10 minutes walk; Kunming city is recommended to take the subway to the nearest station and walk to reach, taxi is not expensive - do not worry about transportation. ✦ Other practical tips: 1. There are too many people during the peak season. Be careful with your belongings when taking selfies. 2. Jinma Bi Chicken Square is open all day, but the morning and evening styles are very different, in the evening you can feel the flavor of night Kunming lights. 3. The performance time of Nanqiang Street is not fixed. It is recommended to visit after the evening for a better atmosphere. Kunming free trip, alone Jinma Bi Chicken Square and Nanqiang Pedestrian Street can eat enough fun, souvenir sweep to the hand, scenery photography are many angles - next time to Kunming, better start with this classic walking line, explore the slow life in the lively! #Yunnan Food Guide #Kunming Pedestrian Street #Travel Photography #Golden Horse Bi Chicken Place #Nan Qiang Street Food

Yunnan, a heartwarming place! The trip departs from Kunming and passes through Dali and Lijiang—a classic route with strong ethnic style and natural beauty. Whether you want to take pictures of ancient cities, taste specialties, or feel the magnificent plateau lakes, Yunnan can satisfy all your fantasies. During the trip I really felt the "Yunnan nice trip🫶🏻", there was novelty and fun everywhere! Itinerary inventory recommendation 🌟 Kunming: As the starting point of the journey, also known as the "Spring City", the weather is comfortable and suitable for all year round travel. Cuihu Park, Jinma Bijifang, and Yunnan Ethnic Village are landmarks not to be missed. If you want to eat authentic snacks, you can go to the food street in Zhuan Xin Neighborhood. Yunnan rice noodles are a must-try! 🌟 Dali: Dali Ancient City Old Town atmosphere full! Suitable for walking slowly, taking photos and checking in, there are many cafes and shops with stories hidden in the alleys. Cycling by the seaside of Erlh to feel the breeze is very healing. There are also the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple to feel the thousand-year-old Buddhist culture. 🌟 Lijiang: The ancient city of Lijiang is most attractive at night. Walk along the stone road into the ancient street and hear the melodious Naxi ancient music. The ancient town of Bundle River is more quiet, suitable for wedding photography and photo shoots. Black Dragon Pool Park and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are worth visiting. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is recommended to go up the mountain early. There is an oxygen bottle rental service at the foot of the mountain. Be careful with your outdoor equipment to keep warm! 🔥 Itinerary Tips: 1. Yunnan morning and evening temperature difference is large, remember to bring a jacket, even in summer will be cold. 2. Kunming, Dali, Lijiang three places convenient transportation, shuttle buses, online ride-hailing cars are easy to find, smooth and effortless journey. 3. Do not exercise vigorously to higher altitudes (such as Jade Dragon Snow Mountain), pay attention to physical reactions. 4. Yunnan UV rays are strong, remember to apply sunscreen + wear a hat. 5. Lijiang Old Town is crowded at night, belongings to be careful.
