Kunming is like spring all year round and is known as the "Spring City". Every November, migratory birds from Siberia, red-billed seagulls, come to Kunming for the winter with the changes of seasons, and then leave and return in March of the following year. Whenever the red-billed seagulls arrive, it is also the busiest time in Kunming. These agile white angels are scattered around the Dianchi Lake of Spring City, Haigen Dam, Daguanlou, Cuihu Park and many other places, harmoniously with the people here. Get along and make Spring City more vibrant.

During this trip, I reserved a day for a transfer and came out to watch seagulls at Haigeng Dam.

We flew in the evening and arrived in Kunming at 9:50, and flew to Chiang Mai in the early morning of the next evening. Kunming's Changshui Airport is far away from the city, so we chose to stay near the airport. The hotel also booked a room on Ctrip for 298 yuan. The conditions are good, including breakfast. It's called Kunming Hangcheng Garden International Hotel. It has a shuttle service. The hotel has a large garden. If we transfer, we still stay near the airport. This hotel can deliver our luggage directly to the airport. We will go directly to the airport after we finish playing.

The airport is quite new. It is said that it was relocated not long ago.

This was the pick-up and drop-off bus I took the next day. We went to the city the next day and the hotel took us to the airport and subway station
The one who picked us up on the first day was a BMW. We were all shocked. Is the service so good??

Arriving at the hotel, the lobby is very atmospheric and has a seating area.

Isn't the view of the hotel garden quite distinctive?

After settling in the hotel, I hung around the hotel and bought some late snacks.

The interior of the hotel is not bad. I am satisfied with the separation of dry and wet. The area is very large, and the two luggage boxes are spread out without occupying the road. The bedding was textured and there was no noise from planes taking off and landing at night. I slept very well.

When we woke up early the next morning, after eating at the hotel, we followed the plan and headed straight to the city. Speaking of which, the hotel's freshly cooked rice noodles for breakfast are not bad, and the light is also good in the morning! Looking at the warm sun, I finally understood why it is called Kunming Spring City.

The little lady who made rice noodles in the restaurant was so gentle and even told me which whistle and how much to put in the room.

After breakfast, we packed our luggage and left it at the front desk. They could deliver it directly to the airport at night, so we didn't have to go back to the hotel.

The driver took us to the airport where we took the bus. We took Airport Line 1 and we were at Cuihu Park Station. Speaking of which, in the past, there was a comrade suspected of a tour guide on the bus who said welcome words and announced the stop. I don't know if it was in every car, but you can ask him if there is anything.

Stop at Cuihu Park and cross the road directly into the alley. Go to the end and turn right, and then go to the end and turn left. There is a high probability that you will always suspect that you are taking the wrong way along the way, but there is nothing wrong (forgot to take photos...)

This is my second time in Kunming. I missed out on the red-billed gull last time. I must not miss it this time.

Before we reached the lake, we could hear the sound of birds singing one after another from afar. As we approached, the scene of white elves flying and dancing in the lake came into view, and it was immediately shocking.

It is said that the winter food of red-billed seagulls is tourists 'bread. Over the years, Kunming people have been friendly in caring and entertaining these little guests. Even if there are occasional acts of abuse of gulls, it will cause public outrage and be immediately stopped. Therefore, the red-billed seagulls feel very safe and happy here, and have always regarded this as their second hometown.

Suggestion:
1. There are stalls selling red-billed gull feed everywhere on the lake. You can buy some teasing birds, but don't buy too much. You can't use so much. I just bought two loaves of bread.
2. There is a Yunnan Army Lecture Hall on the edge of Cuihu. It is free. Everyone can go and visit it together. Unfortunately, when I went there, it was closed on Monday and it looked very good.
3. You must buy and try the Yunnan bait nuggets on the edge of Cuihu. They are made of glutinous rice and are very delicious.

After that, we visited Nanping Street Commercial Street in Kunming, had dinner at Jinma Biji Square, and returned to the airport in peace. Kunming was really cold and windy at night, so we didn't have to go shopping at night.

In addition, in addition to Nanping Commercial Street, Yuanxi Road, Wenhua Lane and other food streets, you can shop and eat.

Thoughtful tips:

Best viewing time: November to December, January to March every year. You can watch it during the Spring Festival.
Best viewing locations: Haigen Dam, Haigen Park, Cuihu Park, Daguanlou

If you pass by and see Jiahua flower cakes, you must buy them!! The Rum Rose Tower is so delicious! There are also cloud leg pancakes, one bite at a time, which is super cool to eat in the office!
