An 800-meter pink Begonia Tunnel—the perfect spot for photos and family fun.

Yes, it's Xihua Park, a must-visit spring destination for Kunming locals. Best Time to Visit Early to mid-March (peak bloom is around March 10–15). Miss it, and you'll have to wait another year. Admission: Free! Highlights: 800-meter Weeping Begonia Tunnel: Old trees planted in 1988 form a natural pink corridor with low-hanging branches. Strolling through it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. Year-round scenery, spring is the best: The begonias start as deep pink and gradually turn pinkish-white as they bloom fully. The falling petals resemble a spring snow scene. Ancient charm meets nature: The begonias complement the pavilions, waterside structures, and old buildings. Wearing Hanfu or a light-colored dress adds a natural filter to your photos. 🌼 Transportation Address: Intersection of Erhuan South Road and Xifu Road, Xishan District. It's closer if you depart from the Xilu Lakeside Boutique Hotel (Kunming Dianchi Haigeng Dam Branch). Bus: Take Bus No. 51, 233, or Sightseeing Bus No. 1 to "Xihua Park" station. Car: Navigate to the park's south gate parking lot; plenty of parking is available. Tip: Arrive before 9 am to avoid crowds and enjoy the tranquility of the flower sea. 🌺 Must-See Spots 1️⃣ Pink Tunnel: Located on the east side of Haitang Avenue. Shoot from a low angle looking up or use a telephoto lens to compress the background for instant Instagram-worthy photos. - Ancient Pavilions: Capture the weeping begonia branches against the upturned eaves of the pavilions for a traditional Chinese aesthetic. - Water Reflections: Capture the picturesque reflections of the flowers and blue sky in the pond. 2️⃣ Family Fun - Small Train through the Flower Sea: CNY 30/2 laps. Kids love the fun music paired with the begonia tunnel. - Lawn Picnic + Fishing: CNY 20 for a fishing experience; you can take 5 fish home. - Children's Play Area: Sandpit and tent area. Parents can relax and enjoy the flowers while kids have fun. 3️⃣ Cultural Experience - Plant Knowledge: Learn about begonia culture through the information boards in the park. - Local Life: Observe morning exercises, square dancing, and card games under the trees, experiencing the leisurely spring lifestyle of Kunming locals. 🌼 Important Notes - Sun and Wind Protection: Kunming has strong UV rays, so hats and sunglasses are essential. - Respect the Flowers: Do not climb or break branches, and take your trash with you. - Limited Blooming Period: The flowers gradually fade after mid-March, so visit this week!
