Southeastern Yunnan | A Dreamlike New Year's Trip with My Besties The meaning of travel, perhaps, quietly descends upon us the moment we decide to embark on a journey. We witness the vast world on the road, discover a new self during the trip, and turn the distant places we once yearned for into the paths we walk step by step. At the beginning of this new year, I am especially grateful to have a group of like-minded besties. Regardless of the changing seasons or the distance of the journey, we embark on this special New Year's trip together. And our destination this time is the enchanting southeastern Yunnan. For me, this is my fifth time embracing Yunnan with deep affection. Day 1: Arriving in Kunming, Encountering the Charm of Haigeng Dam and Delicious Food After an hour-long flight, we landed smoothly in Kunming. After settling into the hotel, we couldn't wait to set off for Haigeng Dam. It should have been a lively scene of watching seagulls, like "distant shadows of white sails disappearing into the horizon, flocks of gulls chasing waves and dancing with clouds." Unfortunately, we arrived a little late, and only saw a few seagulls interacting with people. Although we didn't witness the magnificent scene of seagulls flying in flocks, it didn't dampen our spirits at all. Since we didn't feast our eyes, let's feast our stomachs! We chose a restaurant called "Grandma's Flavors" at Haigeng Dam. The restaurant had a pleasant ambiance, and the dishes not only looked good but also tasted nice. We sat together, toasted, and enjoyed our first meal in Yunnan, kicking off this journey beautifully. Day 2: Exploring the Wumeng Earth Forest, Appreciating the Sculptures of Time and Enjoying Food on the Way Departing from Kunming, after a three-and-a-half-hour drive, we arrived at the Wumeng Earth Forest. Stepping into the scenic area felt like entering a fantasy realm. Earth pillars rose from the ground in various shapes, some like sharp swords pointing towards the sky, others resembling ancient castles. The marks of time were clearly visible, as if narrating the changes of the world. Sunlight poured down, and the interplay of light and shadow draped a golden veil over the earth forest. Strolling through it, the hustle and bustle of the world gradually faded away, leaving only a deep awe for the wonders of nature. Along the way, we also encountered a lot of delicious food, the unique flavors of which still linger in our memories, adding a special kind of joy to the day's itinerary. Day 3: Immersed in Dongchuan Red Land, Experiencing a Feast of Colors and Culinary Delights Leaving Wumeng, after a stretch of highway and winding mountain roads, we arrived at the paradise for photography and literature enthusiasts—Dongchuan Red Land. In the words of writers, it is "the setting sun covers a thousand colors, rich hues adorn ten thousand silks, flowers dot the emerald green with wind-blown brocade, and light mist hides emotions with hazy charm." The red land before our eyes was a tapestry of colorful patches intertwined. The red soil was a mark of time, and the unique landforms created this breathtaking painting. We couldn't help but marvel at the magical charm nature bestowed upon this land. This day, too, was filled with delicious food. With delicious dishes in our bellies and joyful hearts, we seemed to forget all the worries in the world. On this trip, besides eating local specialties, we were more keen on trying foods we had never seen or heard of before. Even if the taste wasn't always ideal, the focus was on trying new things. After all, beautiful scenery intoxicates people, and delicious food makes people happy. Appreciating beautiful scenery and savoring delicious food are both indispensable parts of travel. Day 4: Strolling Along Fuxian Lake, Encountering Colorful Romance and Delicious Moments Departing from the Red Land, after a long journey, we embarked on our Fuxian Lake trip. Strolling along the Time Plank Road, with a gentle breeze caressing our faces, the crystal-clear lake water shimmered under the sunlight. The Luchong Scenic Area, where mountains and waters meet, offered pleasant scenery. When we arrived at the Red Sand Beach, the unique pink sand sparkled under the sun, creating a dreamlike scene. Flocks of seagulls played by the lake, and we held up bread, hoping to interact with them. The seagulls were not shy at all, accurately catching the food we threw, forming a beautiful picture of harmony between humans and nature. Around Fuxian Lake, we also discovered many local specialties. Enjoying the beautiful scenery while savoring delicious food, this pleasant feeling made us linger. The blend of food and scenery created the unique charm of Fuxian Lake, allowing us to immerse ourselves and enjoy this wonderful time. Day 5: Starting from Moon Bay Wetland Park, Embarking on New Adventures In the morning, we set off from Moon Bay Wetland Park, where the sky was clear and blue, with white clouds dotting the horizon. The wind was a gentle poem, and the water was a vivid painting. Strolling along the lake, watching the shimmering water and listening to the chirping of birds, every step was a leisurely movement composed by nature. Then we went to the Fossil Museum and saw a large number of fossil remains, which brought us endless imagination and shock. Coming out of the museum, we arrived at the Jianshui Ant Workshop, where the dreamlike fairy tale world was a feast for the eyes. The red, yellow, and white buildings, with their unique and chic designs, made us feel like we were in another dimension. Next, we stepped into Zhu Family Garden. The deep courtyard, with its carved beams and painted rafters, showcased the exquisite elegance of southern Yunnan gardens. Every brick and tile was a poem, every plant and tree a painting. Here, we experienced the lifestyle of a wealthy family, with every detail highlighting the past glory and elegance. As night fell, we once again stepped into Jianshui Ancient City. The old streets and alleys wound under the dim lights, and the stone roads, polished smooth by time, glowed with a warm light. The warm yellow lights gently outlined the ancient and majestic silhouette of Chaoyang Tower. The exquisite patterns on the carved beams and painted rafters, awakened by the lights, told stories of past prosperity and glory. Watching people singing and dancing in the square, we couldn't help but join the ranks and dance along. Day 6: Exploring Hani and French Style, Tasting All Kinds of Flavors The first stop on today's itinerary was the sunrise at Duoyishu. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperative, so we had to end it quickly. The second stop was Azheke, a simple Hani village, like an old man hidden in the depths of time, quietly telling stories of the past. The scattered mushroom houses, with their unique architectural style, showcased the wisdom and heritage of the Hani people. Although we couldn't see the full view of the rice terraces due to the weather, the misty ink painting presented before us had a unique hazy beauty. Leaving Azheke, we headed to Mengzi. Here, we tasted the French-style Mengzi Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles. The rich ingredients and delicious broth brought a mouthful of happiness. Its unique taste also made us full of praise. Then, we arrived at Bisezhai. This was the filming location of the movie "Youth." French-style buildings were scattered, and the yellow walls and red tiles told stories of past prosperity. The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway once shuttled here, and now the tracks remain, with clear marks of time. Many people wore retro clothes and took a journey through time on the platform, experiencing the romance and vicissitudes of the past. Day 7: Stepping into a Wonderland of Fantasy and Art, Enjoying Culinary Delights After breakfast, we went to Puzhehei, the filming location of "Eternal Love." The breeze blew, and the flowers swayed, as if narrating the beautiful love story of Yehua and Bai Qian. Standing here, scenes from the drama came to mind, and our hearts were filled with this poetic scenery. Then we came to Mile Maitreya Oriental Charm. The unique red brick building complex was amazing. Without any steel or cement, it outlined a visual feast with dynamic curves. The distant mountains and scattered buildings complemented each other, as if we had strayed into a dreamlike wonderland of art. In the evening, we found a restaurant and had a hearty dinner. Day 8: At Dounan Flower Market, Bringing the Journey to a Perfect End Departing from Mile, we arrived at Dounan Flower Market. This was a sea of flowers, with all kinds of flowers competing for beauty, dazzling us. We admired the dazzling array of flowers while choosing our favorite bouquets. When we were tired of shopping, we tasted some local snacks around the flower market. The smooth pea jelly and the spicy and delicious bean curd rice noodles added a wonderful flavor to the last day of this journey. With the end of our visit to Dounan Flower Market, our southeastern Yunnan trip came to a close. This trip started and ended in Kunming. In just nine days, we covered over 1,600 kilometers, which flew by amidst the laughter and chatter of my besties. Thanks to my besties for their consistent understanding and support, and thanks to our driver, Mr. Zu, for escorting us with his superb driving skills. Every mountain and river is a kind of understanding, and every journey is a precious memory. I look forward to traveling with you again and embarking on new and exciting journeys.

⚠️Tip: [Compass] Time: end of October to end of March of the following year 1️⃣The seagulls in Dianchi Lake are mainly red-billed gulls, which are migratory birds. They migrate from Siberia, Mongolia and northern China every winter (late October to early November). From mid-to-late March to early April of the following year, as the temperature rises, the red-headed gulls will fly north to return to their breeding grounds. The number of seagulls starts to decrease around March, but some can stay until April. 2️⃣Best gull watching location ① Haigeng Dam: the most popular gull-watching spot along the Dianchi Lake, with a wide view and dense seagulls ②Haigeng Park: connected to Haigeng Dam ③Haihong Wetland Park: Watch the beautiful sunset [Rainbow] It is best to watch seagulls between 9:00-11:00 in the morning or 15:00-17:00 in the afternoon. Seagulls are more active and the light is soft. If you put seagull food in your hand, seagulls will come over and you can easily get a photo with them.

Kunming, located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, boasts three major river systems: the Jinsha, Nanpan, and Red Rivers. Around 30,000 years ago, humans began inhabiting the Dianchi Lake area. From the Warring States period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dian people around Dianchi Lake established the Dian Kingdom and created the Dian culture. Chu general Zhuang Jiao and his troops arrived in the Dianchi area, but because their return route was blocked by the Qin State, they remained and Zhuang Jiao became the King of Dian. Later, during the Western Han Dynasty, the Dianchi area was incorporated into the Central Plains. The Nanzhao Kingdom built Tuodong City, which was called Shanchan City during the Dali Kingdom period. Sofitel Kunming is located on Huancheng South Road in Xishan District, near Wuhua Sports Center. Each room has oversized floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Kunming. Facing south, guests can enjoy the sunrise in the east and the sunset over Dianchi Lake and Xishan Mountain in the west. The night view is also spectacular. This is my third visit to Kunming. My last stay was also at Sofitel Kunming, during which I mainly visited Xishan Scenic Area, Dragon Gate Grottoes, and Kunming Old Street. This time, I first checked in to InterContinental Kunming during the Lunar New Year holiday, which is the perfect season for gull watching. It was stunning. I strolled to Haigeng Dam by Dianchi Lake to see the magnificent Dianchi Lake, Xishan Mountain, and the seagulls from Siberia. I had planned to fly to Tengchong, but since I hadn't booked my flight in advance, I had to try to get a ticket on Trip.com. I ended up staying at the familiar Sofitel for three more nights. The hotel offers excellent value and allowed me to experience the festive atmosphere of Kunming. I also visited the Yunnan Provincial Museum, Yunnan Nationalities Village, and Guandu Ancient Town. Everything went smoothly, and I got my flight ticket as planned. What a wonderful time! I will definitely come back to Kunming if I have the chance.

My dears, I just got back from chasing flowers in Kunming, and it was absolutely amazing. I have to share it with you! It's no exaggeration to say that springtime in Kunming is like a real-life Monet's Garden—beautiful, delicious, and fun. This trip completely swept me off my feet~ Pre-trip Preparations Spring and autumn are the best times to visit Kunming! The weather is mild, and the flowers are in full bloom. For a 3-5 day trip, a budget of RMB 2,000-3,000, excluding shopping, is generally sufficient. The main expenses are accommodation and entrance fees. Transportation Guide ✈️ Kunming Changshui International Airport is a bit far from the city center. There are airport buses that go directly to the city, or you can take Subway Line 6 and transfer to other lines, which is very convenient! If you're traveling with a few people, taking a taxi and splitting the fare is also cost-effective. 🚇 Kunming's subway can take you directly to most attractions. Download the "Kunming Subway" app on your phone in advance, and you can enter the station by scanning the code, which is much more convenient than buying tickets! If you don't want to take the subway, the bus system is also well-developed, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way~ Attraction Check-in 🌸 Kunming Dounan Flower Market: The largest fresh-cut flower trading market in Asia. Stepping inside is like falling into an ocean of flowers—roses, lilies, baby's breath... all kinds of flowers, whether you know their names or not, are available here. And the prices are unbelievably low! You can buy a large bouquet for just RMB 20! I recommend going in the evening, as you can also see the flower farmers trading, which is super impressive! 🌳 Kunming Botanical Garden: You must visit the Fuli Palace here! The greenhouse houses a vast collection of rare plants, making you feel like you've stepped into a tropical rainforest. There are also large flower fields, with crabapple and cherry blossoms in spring and hydrangeas in summer. Each season offers unique and beautiful scenery. 🏞️ Dianchi Lake: A must-visit in Kunming! You can stroll along the lake, admire the picturesque scenery, and feed the seagulls. Every year, from November to March, red-billed gulls from Siberia come here to spend the winter. The sight of seagulls flying all over the sky is spectacular, and every photo you take is a masterpiece! Food Recommendations 🍜 Cross-bridge Rice Noodles: How can you come to Kunming and not try Cross-bridge Rice Noodles? Piping hot chicken broth, served with various slices of raw meat, vegetables, and rice noodles. You get to cook the ingredients in the broth yourself, which is a fun experience, and the taste is super fresh! I recommend Qiao Xiang Yuan, a time-honored brand with authentic flavors. 🥙 Flower Cakes: Pastries made with fresh roses. The crust is crispy, and the filling is soft and chewy. Each bite is filled with the fragrance of roses, sweet but not greasy. They make perfect gifts! Jia Hua Flower Cakes has stores all over Kunming, so you can buy a few boxes to take home. 🍢 Roasted Tofu: A Kunming specialty snack. The tofu is roasted until golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Served with a dipping sauce, you won't be able to stop at just one! You can find delicious roasted tofu at any street stall. Accommodation Guide 🏨 I recommend staying in Kunming's city center, as it's convenient for transportation and has plenty of food options. If you have a larger budget, you can choose the Crowne Plaza Kunming City Centre, which has an excellent location, service, and facilities. For those on a tighter budget, check out the Kunming City International Youth Hostel, which offers great value for money, a fantastic atmosphere, and the chance to meet fellow travelers from all over the world! Itinerary Planning Day 1: Kunming Changshui International Airport → Hotel check-in → Kunming Old Street (explore and enjoy the local atmosphere) → Nanqiang Street Night Market (try various snacks) Day 2: Dianchi Lake (feed seagulls, watch the sunrise) → Kunming Dounan Flower Market (buy flowers, experience the joy of buying flowers by the pound) Day 3: Kunming Botanical Garden (visit the greenhouse, admire the flowers) → Yunnan University (experience the campus atmosphere) Day 4: Haigeng Dam (watch the sunset, take photos) → Guandu Old Town (experience the historical culture) Tips to Avoid Pitfalls 1. Dounan Flower Market is more lively at night than during the day, but be sure to keep your belongings safe. It gets crowded, so don't let pickpockets steal your joy! 2. When feeding seagulls by Dianchi Lake, don't feed them directly with your hands. Be careful not to get pecked! 3. Make sure wild mushroom hot pot is thoroughly cooked. While Yunnan's wild mushrooms are delicious, some can cause hallucinations if not cooked properly! My dears, Kunming is truly a treasure of a city, perfect for family trips, romantic getaways, or trips with friends! Bring your family and friends and come to Kunming for a spring rendezvous!
