Due to insomnia the night before, Kunming actually suffered from high altitude! Only then did I realize that Kunming's urban area is 1891 meters above sea level and the dazzling sunshine is like white clouds within reach. It is not an out-and-out plateau.
In the original stereotype, Kunming's greatest significance as a Yunnan Province meeting lies in its convenient transfer to more well-known attractions in the province. But one day later, I couldn't help but sigh that the climate was pleasant, flowers were blooming all the time, multi-ethnic cultures were integrated, and it was the red rear area of New China's "both civil and military". There was no shortage of delicacies with good environmental atmosphere and affordable prices. How could such a city not be an Internet celebrity? After Internet search, it was found that Kunming ranks second among a certain Internet celebrity city rankings in 2022. However, obviously, on social media, whether it is compared to the old Suzhou and Hangzhou, or Changsha and Chongqing, which have become popular rapidly in the past two years, Kunming has a sense of existence. It's really not strong. Indeed, geographically speaking, Kunming, located in the southwest, is not as popular as the central cities; its commercial and economic development is also far below Chengdu and Chongqing; the city's publicity efforts do not seem to be enough and lacks a distinctive label; If it were not for traveling within Yunnan Province, most people might not have made a special trip to check in.
It was precisely because he took it lightly that he did not make an appointment to visit the former site of Southwest Associated University, which he was longing for. However, since Kunming is the most convenient place to get in and out of Yunnan, it is also excellent to leave some thoughts for a second or even a second swipe.
The Yunnan Province Museum functions as both a natural history museum and a history museum. It covers everything from the creation of the world to the jurisdiction of Yunnan in the Western Han Dynasty and subsequent dynasties, as well as the development of culture and religion, and ethnic minority characteristics. It is also the foundation for our first stop in Kunming.
Guandu Ancient Town is separated from Provincial Expo Street. It is a place where local people in Kunming visit the park. The overall feeling is average. As a packed destination for the Provincial Expo, you can stop by.
The Yunnan Army Lecture Hall was founded in the late Qing Dynasty. It is an important military school in modern Chinese history. It is also known as the three major Lecture Hall along with the Beiyang Army Lecture Hall and the Northeast Lecture Hall. From the rudimentary initial construction, to the introduction of returned non-commissioned officers from Japan and Japanese lecturers for systematic teaching and training; to responding to the Revolution of 1911 and supporting the War of Defense and the Northern Expedition; to assisting the Whampoa Military Academy; to participating in the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan Army Lecture Hall has cultivated a large number of high-quality military talents on the road to China's rejuvenation. Among them are the two founding marshals, Zhu De and Ye Jianying. The current former site of Jianwu Hall has been opened into a museum with rich historical materials and exhibits, making it a "must-visit" place to Kunming.
Cuihu Park, as its name suggests, has beautiful water features, small islands and gardens. It is also a habitat for waterbirds such as seagulls. There is a creative market at the north gate on weekends. It is adjacent to the former site of the Lecture Martial Hall, making it suitable for arranging tours together.
Steamed chicken and cold rice noodles with mushrooms are Yunnan's specialties.
