Five hundred miles of Dianchi Lake is vast and misty, red-billed gulls are spreading their wings and flying. There are also flowers that are always open, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and it is a geological wonder of the world. This is Kunming. There is a poem that says: Kunming can have no fur coat during the twelfth lunar month, the cotton will not sweat during the three seasons, the plum blossoms will bloom in the middle of winter, and the willow leaves will grow thick in the new year. Kunming has no scorching heat in summer and no severe cold in winter. The seasons are like spring. It is called the "Spring City" and is a good place to travel all year round. From the "Southern Silk Road" more than 2,000 years ago to today's coexistence of modernity and classics, Kunming has always been a hub for trade, China's major exhibition city and one of the important central cities in the western region. I wonder if you walk into Kunming, can you discover the infinite charm that belongs only here?
