So this is the south of the colorful clouds ~ it is indeed a sea of flowers in all seasons!
Friends who have never been to Yunnan all have a deep yearning for this city in the southwest border. Are the seasons like spring? Ethnic customs? That's right, you can deeply feel it once. The unique climate gives birth to unbeaten flowers all year round. It has been rated as one of the top ten beautiful tourist attractions in the world by CNN in the United States!

3-day tour in Kunming
Day1: Cuihu--Nanping Street--Jinma Biji Square
Day2: Golden Temple-Wildlife Park
Day3: Around Dianchi Lake
This route is very simple and suitable for tourists who are new to Yunnan and have a few days in the provincial capital. Come, come, let's arrange it for you!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About dressing: The weather in Yunnan is changeable. It will rain if it rains. The temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large. Short sleeves, shorts, and skirts are okay during the day, but it will feel a little cold in the morning and evening, so it is best to bring a coat.
About food: As a local specialty, you need to experience it. If you arrive in Kunming by plane, I recommend the Yunkui Bridge Rice Noodles from the City of Flowers not far from the airport. It is authentic, rich in taste, and has a good reputation. There are various snacks everywhere, but Yunnan's tastes are generally not strong.
Regarding accommodation: This will be determined according to the criteria you choose. If you are flying back and forth, I recommend Howard Johnson International Hotel not far from the airport. It is cost-effective, comfortable and quiet. If you don't want to fly or have other destinations, you can choose your own.
About transportation: If you are traveling in the city, you can walk to the nearest place. If you want to change places, you can choose the city bus.
------------------------------------------------------------
On the first day, we will start our trip to Cuihu-Nanping Street-Jinma Biji Square! (Downtown location)
Cuihu:
The green lake is shining with bright water, shaded by trees, with its buildings in the heart of waves, and its beautiful environment. It is an emerald in Kunming. Enjoy the reputation of "Jade in the City". Here, you can not only experience the dancing of seagulls in groups, but also experience the folk art of ethnic minorities, songs and dances, dramas, music performances, local specialties, etc. It is a very down-to-earth place to experience the folk customs of the local people.
Nanping Street:
It is a window for a city, showing Kunming's history, culture, and customs, and becoming a center for business exchanges. Reflect the folk customs and living scenes of old Kunming. The ancient streets and historical houses of Guanghua Old Street are worth seeing. The exotic flowers and grasses and jewelry jade in Jingxing Flower and Bird Market are also very ornamental, as well as various spices, wood, and handicrafts from Southeast Asia.
Jinma Biji Workshop:
It was built during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It is 12 meters high and 18 meters wide. The Diaoliang and Painted Buildings are exquisite. The East Square is adjacent to Jinma Mountain and is named Jinma Square. The West Square is adjacent to Biji Mountain and is named Biji Square. It is a symbol of Kunming. In the old days,"Jinbi Jiaohui" was once one of Kunming's "eight scenic spots". The monk in charge at the end of the Ming Dynasty once wrote a poem: One pass is in the east and the west, but there are no golden horses but no green chickens. Lovesickness faces thirty miles away, green chickens crows when golden horses hoarsely.
As night falls, the lights are beautiful and the endless flow of people come here to take photos and check in. During the day, there is a blue sky background, and at night, there are contrasting beautiful photos. I really want to give it a try!
The next day, we will open the Golden Temple-a one-day trip to the Wildlife Park! (North of Kunming)
Golden Hall: (Golden Hall of Taihe Palace)
Also known as Tongwa Temple, it is located at the foot of Mingfeng Mountain, 7 kilometers northeast of Kunming City. It faces east to west. It is a famous Taoist temple in Yunnan. The main hall is cast in bronze and is dazzling and dazzling, hence the name "Golden Hall". The existing Golden Hall was rebuilt by Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi, in 1671, in the tenth year of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The Golden Hall has experienced hundreds of ups and downs and has a mottled and simple appearance. However, it is more completely preserved than the Golden Hall on Wanshou Mountain in the Summer Palace in Beijing and larger in scale than the Golden Hall on Wudang Mountain. It is the largest and most complete pure copper cast temple in my country.
At this point, you can calm down, breathe fresh air, go to the bell tower to ring the bells, witness the traces left over by long history, and take photos of beautiful ancient times...
Kunming Wildlife Park:
Adjacent to Jindian Reservoir, it has a construction area of 3000 acres and faces the Expo Park across the water. This is Yunnan's first comprehensively operated new tourist attraction integrating wildlife breeding, display and viewing. Mighty tigers, majestic lions, giraffes that can rub against people for food, black bears that can't sit still for a moment, poor civet cats, greedy sika deer, unmoved white mangabies, strolling zebras, peacocks that love to show off (You know what Yunnan people mean by saying an old peacock, haha), aggressive rhinos, and various animals whose names cannot be remembered. I will still have a lot of desire to go and see it for an afternoon...
On the third day, you can go around Dianchi Lake to play!
Dianchi Lake:
Located in the southwest of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, it is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and is known as the pearl of the plateau. Seagulls flew back from Siberia at the end of October. At that time, people were at the peak of travel. There was an endless stream of people rushing to feed the seagulls and take photos. Tourists from home and abroad came in droves just to meet the seagulls.
The West Mountain next to it is shaped like a sleeping beauty, lying quietly there, admired by thousands of tourists.
The three-day itinerary is still quite full. These are basically the must-visit places in Kunming for the first time! There are also many scenic spots, such as Daguanlou, Yeya Lake, Guandu Square, etc. that are also worth visiting. Let's share these places with you next time!
