After the rain has passed, spring is fading away. The four seasons change and time flies. Sigh that time flies, it's better to enjoy it while it's time. As the May Day holiday approaches, everyone is already eager to find a place to relax and have a vacation and moderate "fun". However, during this year's May Day holiday, air tickets and hotels in many popular cities were "exploding", and many people are troubled by choosing a travel destination. But I would recommend you to Kunming.

It's a good time to go for a green outing. How can we not go to a date in the Spring City? Kunming, Yunnan, has cool summer and warm winter, with spring seasons all year round. The climate is pleasant and the vegetation is evergreen. It is known as the "Spring City". Kunming is located in the middle of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, surrounded by mountains on three sides and Dianchi Lake in the south. It belongs to the northern subtropical low-latitude plateau mountain monsoon climate. The average annual temperature in the Urban area is 16.5℃. It is sunny all year round, fresh air, full of greenery, and blooming flowers. It is a veritable "flower city" and an excellent livable and holiday city.

Seize the tail of spring and embark on an extraordinary journey of exploring the Spring City. Recently, I visited Kunming again in my hometown, visiting Dounan Flower Market, Kunming Cuihu, Yunnan Province Expo, viewing Jacaranda, and having a leisurely vacation in the city, I was perfectly relaxed physically and mentally. During this trip to Kunming, I chose to stay at the Sheraton Kunming Hotel.

Sheraton Kunming Hotel is located in the core of Kunming Economic and Technological Development Zone, close to Fukang City Shopping Center. It has a superior location and convenient transportation. It is close to Yuyuan Road Station of Kunming Metro Line 4. It is about 30 minutes 'drive from Kunming Changshui International Airport. It is only a thirty to forty minutes' drive from the hotel to Kunming Station, Kunming South Railway Station, Kunming City Center and other places.

Fukang City Shopping Center is a brand new commercial complex in the Kunming Free Trade Zone. Supporting hotels include the first Sheraton Hotel and Delta Hotel in Yunnan Province. Both hotels are five-star hotel brands owned by Marriott and share catering, conference, fitness and other facilities. As Jincheng City landmarks, Sheraton Kunming Hotel and Delta Kunming Hotel provide high-end and high-quality destination experiences for business and leisure guests, and have become popular choices for local business guests since opening.

The design of the Sheraton Kunming Hotel where I stayed was inspired by the ancient tea-horse road, incorporating the cultural elements of the ancient trade road in southwest China, showing the rich and colorful local ethnic customs. Walking into the lobby, exquisite paintings drawn with the themes of Yunnan's iconic attractions such as the Stone Forest, Red River Terrace and Lijiang Ancient Town come into view, demonstrating the strong regional cultural color.

The hotel lobby is nearly 10 meters high, and a giant "Clouds in the South of Colorful Clouds" chandelier hangs at the top. The shape is winding and long, echoing the design of the flowing water at the entrance, bringing a sense of agility to the space.

In addition, the lobby also displays two exquisite and strong Trojan horse art installations, which makes people feel as if they can hear the ringing of the tea-horse ancient road and horse gangs echoing in their ears. He also cleverly used traditional Chinese movable type printing art as wall decoration to pay tribute to the beautiful mountains and rivers of Kunming and the profound historical heritage of Yunnan.

The hotel design is quite interesting and the details are thought-provoking. The elevator rooms and corridors of the guest rooms are designed simply and fashionable, and the smart use of light projection design on the house numbers is eye-catching.

Sheraton Kunming Hotel has 427 exquisite and fashionable rooms and suites. The design is fashionable and elegant, the style is in the same vein, and the space is reasonably divided. Warm yellow carpet is matched with dark brown furniture to create a warm and elegant feeling of home. The spatial design and details highlight the brand quality, providing guests with a meticulous living experience.

The guest rooms are decorated with ethnic minority totems made of embroidery and scenery along the ancient tea-horse road to highlight regional culture. The room is warm and comfortable, with high-end and well-equipped facilities, comfortable bedding, thoughtful facilities and excellence in services. The intelligent design is even more worthy of praise. Guests can use the artificial intelligence voice assistant to control room lighting, curtains and music playback.

The bathroom space of the guest room is scientifically and reasonably designed. It is separated from dry and wet, making it convenient and comfortable to use. It is also equipped with a high-class bathtub. Guests can relax, fade away, rest, and enjoy a relaxed and comfortable vacation time.

The color matching of the hotel's space is uniform and conspicuous, showing the charm of traditional culture in a fashionable and elegant way, which can be seen from the design of the lobby bar. Yueju·Lobby Bar's colorful carpets and the intoxicating greenery outside the window create a fresh and pleasant casual atmosphere. Sitting here and enjoying exquisite afternoon tea, enjoying freshly brewed coffee and various fragrant teas from Yunnan is an excellent choice for leisure guests.

The spiral staircase next to Yueju·Lobby Bar is beautifully shaped and eye-catching. It is also a check-in spot for Internet celebrities to take photos and check in.

The stylish and tastefully designed Executive Lounge serves a variety of exquisite food and drinks at different times of the day.

The hotel's catering is also remarkable. In addition to the lobby bar and executive lounge, Sheraton Kunming Hotel also has two specialty restaurants: Yuexiu·All-Day Restaurant and Yueyun·Chinese Restaurant, which provide rich and high-quality delicacies to satisfy guests all day long. Dining needs.

The design of Yuexiu·Full-day restaurant integrates local cultural characteristics, cleverly uses different materials such as tie-dye, totem, hemp rope and bamboo to create a distinctive space, and the open kitchen cooks fresh and delicious food for guests.

Yuexiu·All-Day Restaurant serves buffet breakfast and dinner. The buffet dinner is particularly rich. The chef team serves seasonal delicacies at different seasons. Select high-quality ingredients and have a wide variety of restaurants, including seafood, grilled lobster, roasted suckling pig, roasted whole sheep, beef and mutton chops, crayfish, sashimi, sushi, small hot pot and fruit cakes as well as champagne, wine and beverages. The products are excellent in color and taste, satisfying the discerning taste buds of different diners.

Yueyun Chinese Restaurant is stylish and elegant in design and style. It provides 12 luxurious large boxes. Yueyun Chinese Restaurant specializes in specialty Yunnan cuisine and classic Cantonese cuisine. The chef team has improved and innovated traditional flavors from all over Yunnan and deeply explored the rare ingredients of rural farmers., carefully cook seasonal and authentic food, and decorated with exquisite flowers. Each dish is pleasing to the eye and satisfying to the taste.

Dali milk fans, Jianshui grass sprouts, Sanchuan ham, Wuding chicken stew, Yiliang knife duck, Shangri-La black truffle, salt and pepper crispy Chengjiang anti-wave fish, dried Ba mushroom green bean Erhai shrimp, Chu orange braised pork with flowing heart eggs, Tuodongtou smoked spicy stewed baby pigeon, Tengchong Da Rescue Jia boletus braised rice, kudzu gastrodia elata leaf fruit sashimi, iced Lijiang snow peach gum bobo balls... Duyueyun·Chinese restaurants can eat all over Yunnan.

Food is the nostalgia of the homeland, the memory of the city, and the affectionate expression of local culture. Food is the most important thing for the people, and food culture has endless stories from customs, ingredients, cooking skills, history and culture. The chef team of Yueyun Chinese Restaurant at Sheraton Kunming Hotel deeply cultivates the flavor of Yunnan cuisine and brings endless visual surprises and taste enjoyment to diners. It is very suitable for gatherings of relatives and friends and business banquets.

As a "hotelier", I also visited the adjacent Delta Hotel in Kunming. The Delta Hotel originated in North America adheres to the unique style of "achieving perfection and simplicity, Simple Made Perfect". Delta Hotel in Kunming focuses on providing guests with core facilities and services, with 639 exquisite rooms, demonstrating the brand's simple aesthetics, creating a stylish and comfortable place to rest while on the road, and providing a smooth and worry-free travel experience.

There is also Moyuange·Book Bar on the third floor of Kunming Delta Hotel. The design details incorporate Chinese culture. The decorative wall of "Thousand Character Text" vividly reflects the profound Chinese characters. Being here, you can read, sip tea, receive guests, be alone, and enjoy a peaceful and leisurely time.

In addition, the wellness facilities shared by the two hotels are also commendable. The indoor heated swimming pool connected to the rooftop garden makes it feel wonderful to swim in the green wrap. The fitness center is equipped with advanced aerobic and strength training equipment, as well as tailor-made fitness courses to choose from, making it a great place to enjoy leisure time and exercise time. At the same time, the hotel's Fu Spa offers a variety of physiotherapy options, which can allow guests to eliminate fatigue, relieve their body and mind, and glow.

The hotel's high-end business conference facilities are complete, with 3000 square meters of meeting and banquet space, which can meet the needs of hosting romantic weddings, high-end dinners, various meetings and activities.

Recommended travel around:

[Cuihu Park] Check in the spring city in spring. The city is full of flowers and the eyes are green. It takes more than half an hour to drive from the hotel to Cuihu Park located in the center of Kunming City. Cuihu Park is located at the foot of Luofeng Mountain. In the early days, it was once the bay of Dianchi Lake, but later the water level dropped to form a clear lake. The lake area is full of water, shaded by trees, with beautiful buildings and beautiful environment. It is a popular attraction in the city with both scenery and humanities, and enjoys the reputation of "Jade in the City".

[Jacaranda] Kunming, which is like spring all year round, blooms undefeated every day. It is a veritable "flower city". The eve of May Day is the best time to appreciate Jacaranda. The city is dotted with large blue and purple, adding a touch of romance and dream. The best places to view Kunming Jacaranda are Jiaochang Middle Road, Panlong River and other places.

[Dounan Flower Market] When I come to Kunming, I have to go to the Dounan Flower Market, which is the largest fresh cut flower trading market in Asia. Countless flower seedlings are sold here, hundreds of millions. It is said that this flower market accounts for 70% of the market share in more than 80 large and medium-sized cities across the country and is exported to 46 countries and regions. It is said that there are 10 fresh cut flowers nationwide and 7 branches produced in Yunnan. Friends who like to see and buy flowers must not miss it.

[Yunnan Province Museum] This is also one of the check-in spots I recommend. The Yunnan Province Museum, built in 1951, contains countless bronzes, ancient coins, ceramics, ancient calligraphy and paintings, inscriptions and various handicrafts. Among them, the famous ones at home and abroad include the ox tiger bronze case from the Warring States Period, the four-ox gold-plated knight copper shell storage vessel from the Western Han Dynasty, Guo Xi's "Visiting Friends in Xishan" in the Northern Song Dynasty, the statue of Jin Acuoye Guanyin during the Dali Dynasty, and the golden winged bird from the Dali Dynasty. The collection is rich. It's a lot to watch.
