1. Dianchi Lake - Seagull Watching - Bread and seeds are available for feeding the seagulls. - Photo services with the seagulls are offered, and the pictures will be sent to your phone after the shoot. - Enjoy free music 😂 as many people livestream on Douyin. Note: Bargaining is recommended. 2. Dounan Flower Market, Kunming - This is a large flower market with a wide variety of fresh and dried flowers at very affordable prices. - There are many food stalls around. - If you visit in December, you’ll find vendors selling large, sweet, and high-quality strawberries at low prices outside the market. 3. Jinma Biji Square - At night, the square lights up beautifully with many food stalls and photo spots. You can walk around for hours and still not see everything. 4. Jiaozi Snow Mountain - In December, the snow isn’t very thick yet. On sunny days, you can take beautiful photos. The higher you go, the cooler it gets, but the snow remains thin. - There’s an artificial snow area. - Getting to the snow mountain is quite far, involving two cable car rides (one large and one small), a shuttle bus, and a short hike to the dining area on the mountain. 5. Night Snacks - You can enjoy late-night snacks in the old town areas, squares, or food streets, which are filled with a variety of street food. The restaurants are also beautifully decorated. - If you prefer staying in, you can order delivery, which is very fast.
