Daguan Pavilion Lotus Pond... Kunming.
Daguan Pavilion is a place that holds a beauty reminiscent of a scene from a fairy tale. The lotus pond around the pavilion is particularly stunning, with large, colorful lotus flowers blooming on the pond, creating a picturesque scene that blends harmoniously with the tranquil waters. The pavilion nestled among these lotus flowers exudes an antique charm while blending seamlessly with nature, creating a perfect landscape in itself.
Tourists often rent traditional costumes to take photos here, and the sight of people in vibrant hanbok or qipao against the backdrop of the lotus flowers and pavilion is truly striking. Watching tourists slowly walk through the lotus pond and take photos feels like witnessing a scene from an old royal photo shoot. The combination of the bright flowers and traditional attire fills the place with a sense of timeless serenity and elegance.
As you walk along the trails, the scenery of lotus flowers, the pavilion, and people in traditional costumes blend together to create stunning views from any angle. This place offers more than just a simple sightseeing experience; it allows you to fully appreciate the serene beauty of nature, making for a truly special time.

A giant mushroom cluster 🍄 has appeared in a park in Kunming‼️|
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival lantern show at Daguan Pavilion has new innovations again!
I went for a stroll yesterday afternoon and was attracted by the giant mushroom cluster.
Even though the site is still under construction, tourists are flocking to take photos and enjoy the view!

Among its attractions is the historic Daguan Tower, which is solemn and elegant, and Yuyuan Garden, a popular spot for social media photos, very photogenic.

The scenery at the entrance to Dianchi Lake from Daguan River in Kunming is truly beautiful
Located on the west side of Kunming city, Daguan River has always been serene. It seems gentle and elegant, introverted in character, staying away from the bustling city center with its myriad charms, and meandering quietly in a corner of the city, listening to the comings and goings of people. Daguan River is not long, stretching only a few kilometers from Zhuan Tang Park to the Daguan Pavilion at the entrance to Dianchi Lake, but the scenery along the way is still very beautiful, especially where Daguan River flows into Dianchi Lake. Friends who like it, come and take a look.

Having read Dream of the Red Mansion, how can one not visit the Rongguo Mansion
This is the shooting location of the 1987 version of Dream of the Red Mansion, mainly shooting the parts of Rongguo Mansion and Yuanfei's visit to her parents. Due to limited funds, Ningguo Mansion was not built. If you come to Shijiazhuang, you can visit Rongguo Mansion.

💟Overall experience:

▪️The whole scenic area is not large, there is no performance, and it can be finished in about 1 hour.
▪️There is a guided tour, no need to find it specifically, just listen to it, there are many people in waves.
