Laoyuhe Wetland Park

Laoyuhe Wetland Park is a perfect spot to beat the summer heat in Kunming. Surrounded by the beauty of Dianchi Lake, you'll feel refreshed as you journey through the Metasequoia forest. A special feature is the glass-bottomed boat ride, allowing you to admire the lush trees in the water up close. The wetland is meticulously maintained, making it a perfect place to connect with nature. Suggested Itinerary: We recommend visiting the park early in the morning or in the afternoon. First, stroll along the wooden bridge, weaving through the shaded trees and marshes, stopping to take in the moment. Then, rent a glass-bottomed boat. The boat ride offers a tranquil atmosphere, with stunning reflections of the Metasequoia forest, perfect for photo opportunities. After the boat ride, stroll along the lakeside, gazing out at the breathtaking Dianchi Lake and the surrounding mountains. Must-Do Activities: 1. Glass-bottomed Boat Tour: This tour allows you to observe aquatic life and trees up close, immersing you in the unique ecological environment of the wetland. 2. Check out the Metasequoia Forest: The underwater Metasequoia trees are a unique sight, so please ensure your camera/phone is fully charged. 3. Strolling along the wooden bridge: Observation decks along the way offer expansive views, perfect for a stroll and conversation with close friends. Recommended photo spots: - Reflections of Metasequoia trees on the glass boat - Overlooking Dianchi Lake from the lakeside observation deck - Snap photos of your friends in the middle of the wooden bridge Tips: 1. The park is open year-round from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM. In summer, it's recommended to arrive early and return late to avoid the peak sun at noon. 2. The ride is relatively cool, but it's recommended to bring a light jacket in case of rain or chilly weather in the mornings and evenings. 3. Space on the glass boat is limited, so it's best to reserve in advance (you can also wait on site). 4. Due to wetland conservation efforts, feeding or littering is prohibited. Remember to respect nature. 5. Food and beverages are available within the park, but you can also bring your own water and snacks. Notes: - The park's roads can be slippery, so be careful when walking, especially if you're traveling with the elderly or children. - Some sections of the road are close to the water, so be careful when taking photos. During peak season, crowds can be high, so plan ahead to avoid long waits. Summary: Laoyu River Wetland Park combines scenic views, leisure activities, and ecological education, making it a great destination for families, friends, and couples. Enjoy a refreshing summer retreat while experiencing the Kunming wetland ecosystem, getting some healthy exercise, and taking some stunning photos. It's definitely worth a visit!

🇨🇳 China Yunnan 4 days Itinerary 🐾 Itinerary Overview Recommendations for food 🍄 Perfect score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yunnan Mushroom Hot Pot 🍲 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crossing-the-bridge noodles 🍜 ⭐️⭐️ Rose petal pastry 🌹 🗓️ Day 1 📍Kunming Old Street 昆明老街 🛍️ When we arrived in Kunming, it was already evening. We headed to the Kunming Old Street which was popular for cheap clothing and souvenirs. The streets were vibrant with Chinese traditional architecture with lights and filled with local vendors selling delicious snacks. We bought the Yunnan traditional rose petals pastry 🥮. It tastes sweet and chewy filling with rose petals inside. 🌹 🗓️ Day 2 📍 Laoyuhe Wetland Park 捞鱼河湿地公园🎣 We spent the whole afternoon and evening, a serene escape from the city's hustle and bustle 🏞️. The most attractive part was riding a transparent boat 🛶 that glided through the lush, green jungle. 📍Lavender Field 滇池绿道薰衣草庄园 🪻 Near to the wetland, there was a stunning lavender field, where the vibrant purple flowers filled the surroundings with a calming fragrance under the sunset. We took countless pictures, and stayed till night to leave. 🤳 🗓️ Day 3 📍Dali 🚄 Around 2 hours train from Kunming 📍Dali Upon arrival, we visited Erhai Longkan Pier (大理龙龛) and were captivated by the picturesque views of Erhai Lake. The atmosphere was lively, with many photographers offering their services for professional photos. 🎥 Before committing, we requested a couple of test shots to find a photographer whose style matched our vision. It was a delightful experience, capturing the beauty of Dali and its surroundings. 🏞️ 🗓️ Day 4: Dali Photo Studio We booked a photo shooting session at a little farm 👨🌾 that had a variety of animals, including chickens, 🐓 sheep, 🐑 and friendly cats🐈🐈⬛ . Our photo shooting package included 1 hour for makeup 💄and clothing changes 👗, followed by a 2-hour photo session 📸. The studio offered a selection of clothing styles and themes, including western princess 👑 , mermaid 🧜♀️ , and traditional ethnic attire representing the Miaozu and Zangzu minorities ⭐️. After dressing up, my photographer drove us to the little farm. The adorable sheep were gentle who patiently posed and waited till you finished a photo. 📝 Reminder If you’re traveling to China, I suggest you to use the below apps: 1️⃣ 🗺️ Map: Gaode Map Gaode Map helps you find the fastest route to your destinations 2️⃣ 🚕 Taxi app: DiDi Global Always the best price for taxi / private car ride, remember keep track on your routes after getting on the car! 3️⃣ 🏖️ Attractions: RedNote (Xiaohongshu) If you’re confused about where to go next, check the RedNote! 4️⃣ 💵 Payment Method: Alipay Suggest you to use Alipay to prevent extra interest on credit cards 💳
