No need to go to the Haigeng Dam to feed the seagulls anymore—the Daguan Park has fewer people, free admission, and better scenery (Part 1)

Address: No. 284, Daguan Road, Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province To implement the 'Several Opinions on Further Strengthening Urban Planning and Construction Management Work' issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, which call for 'enhancing the function of green spaces to serve the daily activities of residents, so that citizens can see and be close to green spaces near their homes. Urban parks should be open to residents free of charge in principle,' the Kunming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have arranged and deployed reforms to the institutional system of 7 municipal parks. These reforms include integrating park operating expenses into the fiscal public budget expenditures, completely changing the 'self-sustaining' management model of parks, and promoting the return of parks to their public welfare nature. Starting from October 1, 2022, Daguan Park, Yu Garden, Jindian Scenic Area, Black Dragon Pool Park, Xihua Park, Tanhua Temple Park, and Suburban Park, the 7 municipal parks in Kunming, will be open to the public free of charge. Just like that, Daguan Park has become free of charge. I had been here on a business trip in 2018 when there was still an entrance fee, and I applaud the government's action. In recent years, feeding seagulls in winter has become an internet sensation. Daguan Park is located on the shores of Dianchi Lake, kilometers away, where there are also many seagulls. 🌈The photos were all taken between 9:30 and 10:30 in the morning, which is the best time for effects and when there are fewer people.
