Let me tell you exactly how to enjoy Kunming

About transportation: Kunming has an airport, so we can take a flight directly to Changshui Airport from where we come from. Kunming also has two train stations, Kunming South Station and Kunming Station. It's best to check the train schedules from our city before we leave to see which station we will arrive at. The transportation within Kunming city is also quite convenient. We can choose to take the subway or take a taxi or ride a shared bike. For attractions that are a bit further away, we can take the subway, or it's also very convenient to just scan and ride a shared bike. About accommodation: I suggest you can stay near Tangzixiang, Wuyi Road subway station, or Huan Cheng South Road subway station. First of all, Tangzixiang has direct access to the airport, and it is also close to Kunming Old Street and Nanping Street, where we can easily taste various delicacies. Wuyi Road subway station is the intersection of subway lines 3 and 5. There are many food streets nearby, such as Nanping Street, Jingguo Street, etc. Moreover, we can take line 3 or line 5 to the vicinity of Dianchi Lake, which is very convenient for travel and eating. How to play: Day 1: We can go to Dianchi Lake for fun. Dianchi Lake is the largest lake in Yunnan Province, and there are many attractions around the lake. We can choose 2 to 3 attractions to visit, so it will be more relaxing. We can also go to Haigeng Wetland Park by Dianchi Lake, which is the most concentrated place for tourists and the best scene to watch seagulls. During the seagull season, we must go there to check in. Then go to the Western Hills Scenic Area, where you can have a panoramic view of Dianchi Lake from the mountain, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. The Ethnic Village next to Dianchi Lake is also a worthwhile attraction to visit. In the afternoon, you can go to the Dounan Flower Market, which is the largest fresh cut flower trading market in Asia. Seven out of every ten flowers in the country come from Dounan. Here, buying flowers is as simple as buying vegetables. We can absolutely enjoy the freedom of fresh flowers. Day 2: First go to Kunming Old Street for breakfast, then stroll through the old street and go to the nearby Cuihu Park. As the saying goes, 'A pool of Cuihu water, half a step to the Spring City begins.' Kunming Cuihu Park has different scenery in each of the four seasons. In winter, there are seagulls from Siberia, in spring, there are tulips blooming everywhere, and in summer, there are lotus flowers in the pond. No matter what season we come, we will definitely not be disappointed. We can also visit the former site of Southwest Associated University, Yunnan Provincial Museum, and Jiangwutang. These three places require us to make reservations online in advance. If time is not enough, we can also choose one or two places to visit. In this way, spending two days, we can basically check out all the popular attractions in Kunming. Food: As the capital city of Yunnan, Kunming allows us to taste almost all the delicacies of Yunnan, such as Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles, Stone Pot Fish, Tofu Noodles, Rushan Baiwei, etc. We can go to Nanqiang Street, Shuangqiao Night Market, Wenhua Alley, these snack worlds, where there are many special snacks. To be honest, compared to natural landscapes, Kunming definitely can't compare with Dali and Lijiang. However, as the capital city, Kunming's cultural heritage is worth everyone coming to experience! Through the tour of Kunming, we can particularly well feel the entire culture and history of Yunnan.
