Go boating at Kunming's Laoyu River Wetland Park - Location guide

For transportation, follow the instructions on Gaode Maps, take a taxi or subway to a nearby station and then transfer to a bus/taxi. Otherwise you can only drive yourself. It takes about 40 minutes by taxi from Cuihu Lake in the city center, and the cost is about $6. The weather was hot, and although I never use an umbrella, I spent about 10 minutes with it when I walked to some observation decks after walking for about 2 hours. It's okay if you take a walk among the mangroves. 🤪It took me almost 3 hours to walk around the whole park before I found the boating area. Fortunately, she said that it would continue to operate if there were customers. The service center would close if there was not enough time, and there were no signs near the parking lot. It turned out to be near the 2nd parking lot and the children's playground. It's not the main southeast gate. I walked to the parking lot and turned back. When I turned back, I saw a piece of paper with instructions for boarding the boat. I walked that way again and just kept going forward. Admission is $50. Maybe they saw that I was a girl, so they took turns to persuade me to pay them $50 more so that I could take photos. I didn't understand why at first, but it turns out that they were taking the photos together on the boat. Because I responded first and said I could sit alone, I felt awkward having a staff member following me. This kind of boat can also handle it. As a result, I was a little shaky and hesitant when getting off the boat, so I let him accompany me. . . I got used to it and realized that the boat was just a little shaky when I got off the boat, and the water was only knee-deep. . . Oh 😂😂😂 just think of it as buying a bodyguard to sit with you. During the process, I communicated with him that he didn't have to row, but could stop to feel the atmosphere and the sunset, and just treat it as safe companionship. He didn't have to do anything. I did want to row, so how could I let him row? Hahaha. Let him have a rest. Sometimes he and I take turns rowing, sometimes we stop, and sometimes he just helps me take a picture. Just like that, I chatted with him, and after some time he said it was okay that he was there, haha. ☆Remember, when you look at the Amap, you should go towards the water forest, not the direction below the service center. Also the boarding/disembarking point on the map is wrong. I walked there again near the windmill, and there was no entrance at all. #Mainland customs clearance #Girls running away #Kunming #Kunming good places #Kunming, Yunnan #Wetland Park #Laoyu River Wetland Park #Youth Hostel #Girls solo travel #Hong Kong girls #Good places for outings #Dianchi Lake #ootd #Mangroves #Water Forest
