On December 8, early spring in Kunming, 10,000 seagulls stopped for me at Haihong Park!

Who understands! On December 8, early spring in Kunming, I was surrounded by 10,000 seagulls at Haihong Park! That day, I was "locked" with the seagulls. I walked from Haigeng Dam to Haigeng Park, and finally to Haihong Wetland Park. There were flocks of seagulls flying everywhere along the way. As long as you throw out a little breadcrumb, these little white guys will go crazy and instantly start a carnival. The scene was so shocking! They are like little messengers from Siberia, bringing the most gentle "love letters" from there, crossing countless mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, just to come to Spring City for this romantic date. It was really ceremonial! I only had one thought in my mind at the time: I envy the locals in Kunming! There are so many fun places in Kunming. In addition to the good places to see seagulls mentioned above, Green Lake Park is also a great place. There are different beautiful sceneries in all seasons. The lake is green, the willows on the shore are drooping, and you can also see the ancient pavilions. In winter, there will also be many seagulls coming here to rest. Feeding seagulls and taking a walk by the lake is so pleasant. In terms of food, Kunming is simply a paradise for foodies. Crossing-the-bridge rice noodles is a must-try. The soup is rich and delicious, and the side dishes are rich and varied, with fresh and tender meat slices, juicy vegetables, and smooth and chewy rice noodles. One bite is full of happiness. There are also tofu pudding rice noodles, soft tofu pudding with spicy meat sauce and smooth rice noodles, rich in taste and satisfying every bite. Grilled rice cakes are also not to be missed. Put the rice cakes on the charcoal fire and bake them until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, then spread the sauce, and add various ingredients such as fried dough sticks and marinated eggs. Take a bite, and it is crispy and soft. There are also some precautions when traveling to Kunming. Don't grab the seagulls with your hands. Although they are cute, they are wild animals, so avoid getting hurt. The ultraviolet rays in Kunming are relatively strong, so no matter what season you come, you must take sun protection measures, and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat. When playing in the scenic area, take care of the environment, do not litter, and keep the scenic area clean and tidy. If you want to go to a crowded place like Green Lake Park, take care of your belongings and don't lose them.
