Kunming Laoyu River Wetland Park | A Great Place to Enjoy 1 Million Tulips! (With Guide)

Kunming Tulip Appreciation Tour! Next to Dianchi Lake, Laoyu River Wetland Park is home to a sea of 1 million tulip flowers, offering a picturesque and beautiful scenery. If you love flower viewing, you definitely shouldn't miss this. After visiting the Green Lake Park in the city center and admiring the beautiful scenery of 200,000 tulips, I heard that Laoyu River Wetland Park by Dianchi Lake is also in full bloom with 1 million tulips. So, an impromptu Laoyu River flower viewing trip began. 🌷 Tulip Exhibition: ✅ This exhibition is the ninth tulip exhibition at Laoyu River Wetland Park. The exhibition is set on the right side of the main entrance of Laoyu River Park, covering an area of nearly fifteen acres. As you enter, you are greeted by a vast sea of tulips, truly a picturesque and beautiful landscape. ✅ The tulip exhibition features high-quality bulbs imported from the Netherlands, with nearly 1 million tulips of 22 varieties planted. The flowering period is divided into early, middle, and late stages, with common colors such as red, pink, yellow, white, and bi-colors, including classic and new varieties such as 'Conception's Mark', 'Flying Dragon', 'Yellow Hydrangea', 'Mermaid Island', and 'Burgundy Lace' with single, double, and fringed petals. ✅ Single-petaled tulips are simple and elegant with beautiful colors; double-petaled tulips are plump and bright; fringed tulips are unique and distinctive. ✅ Unlike previous years' tulip exhibitions, this year's exhibition, in the Year of the Dragon, is planted according to the different colors, flowering periods, and plant heights of the tulip varieties, ensuring a reasonable mix of plants to achieve staggered heights and orderly flowering, extending the overall viewing period. ✅ Entering the tulip exhibition area from the entrance, the tulips under the warm sun of the Spring City show their unique charm and rhythm, as well as their vigorous vitality. The tulip scenery is so beautiful that it's irresistible, and for tourists who love flowers and photography, this is a great spot for you to check in. 🚩 Address & Transportation: 🏞️ Address: Laoyu River Wetland Park is located next to Dianchi Lake, right by the Huanhu East Road in Chenggong District, Kunming. 🚗 Transportation: It's about 40 kilometers from Kunming's main urban area to Laoyu River Wetland Park by car. 🚌 Public Transport: You can take Kunming Metro Line 1 to Daxuecheng South Station, then take bus 222 to Zhonghe Village Station, and walk 40 meters to reach the destination. 📌 Practical Tips: ◆ Since Laoyu River Wetland Park is quite far from the city center, it's recommended for those who drive to Laoyu River to see the tulips to also visit nearby places to see the rapeseed flowers. For example: the thousand-acre rapeseed flowers in Jiangwei Village of Chenggong, the rapeseed flowers and ancient village of Wolong Ancient Fishing Village, and the rapeseed flowers and green train scenery of Shadi Village. ◆ For tourists who love travel photography, it's recommended to go early in the morning when the light is soft for better photo effects. ◆ For a spring flower viewing trip in Kunming, there are also places like Green Lake Tulips and the 'Yuantong Cherry Tide' at Yuantong Mountain Zoo.
