Kunming is more than just jacarandas! These 5 bougainvillea spots will take your breath away!

🌺 "Who says Kunming only has jacarandas? 🔥 When the bougainvillea bloom, the whole city ignites!" In Kunming in May, the romance of the jacarandas has not yet faded, and the bougainvillea have already taken over the streets with great fanfare 🌺! From the "flower waterfalls" as high as 10 stories to the "red flower walls" in the artistic alleys, every shot is a blockbuster 📸! This super complete guide will take you to unlock the most explosive bougainvillea feast in Kunming~ 🌸 Best viewing period: 📅 May - July (peak bloom! Most explosive in June 💥) 🌞 Recommended time: 8-10 am or 4-6 pm, the light is soft, and there are fewer people to take pictures! 📍 Must-visit recommendations: 1. Yinghai Road Bougainvillea Waterfall · 5-story high "Red Galaxy" Recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow factor: The 5-story high magenta flower waterfall cascades down, matched with a pure white building, full of comic-like vibes! How to enjoy: Shoot the "flower wall" from below, wear a light-colored dress and spin around to capture the moment (super fairy-like!), and take a walk around nearby Dianchi Lake. Avoid: Crowded on weekends 👫, it is recommended to go early on a working day! 2. Ditaisi Meter Gauge Railway · Wildly growing "Flower Sea Railway" Recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique experience: Abandoned meter gauge railway + hundred-meter bougainvillea flower corridor, retro and passionate, like traveling into Hayao Miyazaki's summer! Photo spot: Shoot the "flower tunnel" from the middle of the railway, or lean against the wall to take an artistic back view. Tips: Wear flat shoes! The gravel road is not easy to walk on 👟. 3. Aolin Apartment · 10-story high "Aerial Flower Waterfall" Recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spectacle: 30-meter high bougainvillea hanging from the top of the building, the most spectacular "flower waterfall" in Kunming! Surprise: Building 4 opposite also has a 4-story high flower wall, double the shock! Note: Keep quiet in the residential area 🚫, take pictures politely~ 4. Huang Gong East Street · Artistic CP of Red Flowers and Yellow Walls Recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Photo secret: Bright red bougainvillea + bright yellow background wall, retro filter straight out, instantly become a Hong Kong-style heroine! Guide: Fewer people in the morning, take leisurely photos with a coffee shop ☕️. 5. Danxia Road · Flower shed kiosk at the street corner Recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐ Local vibe: Bougainvillea forms a kiosk, which is very comfortable for shade and rest, suitable for shooting life-like vlogs~ 📸 Photo Guide: Clothing: White/light yellow dress 👗 + straw hat, avoid red (color clash!). Props: Transparent umbrella, English newspaper, retro bicycle 🚲 (super match with Ditaisi!). Pose: Look up under the flowers, hold the flower branches, and capture the moment while walking on the railway. 🚫 Avoid Guide: ❌ Don't pick flowers! Bougainvillea branches have thorns, be careful of scratches~ ❌ Be careful when taking pictures at noon: the top light overexposes the petals, and the shadows are mottled and unsightly! ❌ Pay attention to safety on the meter gauge railway: there are gravel on the abandoned railway, don't wear high heels 👠! 💬 Final prayer: "The flower language of bougainvillea is 'passion and tenacity', just like the summer in Kunming, always vigorous and passionate 🌞!"
