[China, Kunming, Cuihu Park] Kunming's "Cuihu Park" is soothing with greenery and water

Although Cuihu is a freshwater lake, it is a park that gives you a sense of rich nature that blends into the city center. In spring and summer, lotuses and tulips gather, and in winter, black-headed gulls that migrate from the north gather, and you can enjoy the changing scenery with each season. 👀 Points of interest ✨ 🎶 A lively place to relax with local people In the park, you can see people doing tai chi, chatting in teahouses, playing musical instruments and dancing, and it is a spot where you can feel the lifestyle and culture of Kunming. Time flows slowly, and just visiting will relax your mind. 🚣♀️ Take a stroll on the water with a sightseeing boat ◎ The structure is designed so that bridges are built over each small pond, and you can experience a sightseeing experience around the connected ponds by boat. The rippling water surface seen from the promenade and bridges will make your trip more comfortable. 📸 Perfect for a light stroll! Lots of photo opportunities White bridges, traditional gazebos, willows and lotus petals reflected in the lake... No matter where you look, you'll see picturesque scenery. The light is especially soft in the mornings and evenings, so it's recommended for photography lovers. Basic information📝 💰Admission fee: Free 🕰️Opening hours: All day (most facilities open from morning until around 8pm) 📍Access: 15-20 minutes walk from Kunming Old Street Cuihu Park is an oasis in the city, filled with nature, culture and exchange, located in the center of Kunming.

Must-see attractions food guide in Yunnan Yunnan has always been a dream destination for many travelers, whether it’s natural landscape, ethnic culture or authentic cuisine, it has a unique appeal. This time, I deeply felt the beautiful mountains and rivers and human touch of Yunnan. I specially recommend the following tour routes and must-eat delicacies! Route Arrangement: First stop: Kunming Cuihu Park Cuihu Park is a beautiful sight in the city center. The lake is clear and the trees are shaded next to it. It is super comfortable to walk along the lake in the morning. There are also large areas of cherry blossoms and azaleas from late March to April, which are very photogenic. There are many teahouses and snack stalls by the lake, where you can chill and enjoy a cup of Pu'er. Second stop: Dali Ancient City The ancient city of Dali retains the antique architecture of the Bai ethnic group, and its streets and alleys are very flavorful. It is recommended to walk from the south gate to the foreigner street. There is also a night market on Friday and Saturday nights. Special snacks such as Xizhou dumplings and roasted milk fans must be tried. You can also rent a bicycle to ride around the seaside of Erling. There are many photo spots along the way to take pictures of the lake view and the distant mountains. Stop 3: Lijiang Ancient Town The ancient city of Lijiang is a World Cultural Heritage Site. The stone roads, wooden buildings and small bridges and flowing water in the ancient city are great for taking pictures. It is recommended to visit the ancient city in the afternoon to avoid the peak hours and stop by the ancient town of Duke Zong to feel the Tibetan style. Famous local snacks such as cured ribs hot pot, chicken bean soda, and Lijiang dumplings are extra satisfying after eating them. Must-play items: - Cherry blossom season photography in Cuihu Park, Kunming - Dali Erhai Bicycle Round the Lake - Night tour of Lijiang Old Town + morning photo-taking stone alley Must-eat delicacies: - Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles (Yunnan must-eat representative) - Dali Xizhou Baba - Bai yogurt - Lijiang wax ribs hot pot - Yunnan Wild Mushroom Soup Practical gameplay tips: 1. It is recommended to go out in the morning, avoid the crowds of attractions; Dali, Lijiang many attractions in the morning photography most beautiful, natural lighting. 2. The weather is cool in the morning and evening, it is recommended to bring a thin jacket; Kunming is known as the "Spring City", but even in summer morning and evening a bit cool. 3. Most of the attractions do not charge or charge reasonable, self-walking or bicycle play is the most convenient, the city to take, online ride-hailing cars are cheap. 4. Bai, Naxi areas of many folk culture, you might as well try the local clothing rental experience. 5. Recommend reservations in advance for Yunnan specialty restaurants, such as Lijiang Old Pier and Kunming Old Stove, to avoid the queue peak. Notes: - UV rays are stronger, remember to apply sunscreen - Some ancient city roads are prone to slippery stone slabs, so be careful on rainy days - Respect the local culture within the ethnic scenic area, remember to ask before taking pictures - Soup food is spicy or sour, not too spicy remember to tell the clerk Travel Topics: #Yunnan travel #food photo #ethnic culture #natural scenery #ancient city roaming

Spent an unforgettable day in Kunming, China — where delicious food meets stunning scenery 🌸🍲. From vibrant street eats to tranquil lakeside moments, every stop was its own highlight. Must-See Places: 1. Green Lake Park (翠湖公园) – Address: NO.67 Cuihu Road, open 7am-9pm. Morning walks here deliver peaceful vibes, cool bridges, and lush willow trees. 2. Yunnan Provincial Museum (云南省博物馆) – Address: No.6393 Guangfu Road, open 9am-5pm (closed Mondays). Dive into Yunnan’s rich history and get a taste of local culture with ancient artifacts. 3. Nanping Street Food – This bustling food hub is where I found everything from sizzling rice noodles to wild mushroom skewers. Be brave and try something new — the flavor combos are amazing! 4. Dianchi Lake – Address: Dianchi Road area, best during afternoon for misty mountain views and photo ops. Grab a lakeside coffee and soak in the scenery. Personal Tips: Kunming’s food scene is wild! Don’t skip rice noodles ("guoqiao mixian") and fresh fruit from street vendors — both make for the perfect refuel before more sightseeing. For camera-worthy views, Dianchi Lake at sunset is unbeatable. Special moments: random chats with friendly locals, surprise street performances, and the way green tea just tastes better here — magic in the everyday. Getting Around: Use the local metro for fast and cheap commutes, plus buses get you to big sights like Dianchi easily. Taxis are everywhere and ride hailing is reliable. Food Recs: Try snacks in Nanping Street first, then dinner at a lakeside spot near Dianchi for the freshest fish dishes! #KunmingEats #GreenLakeKunming #ChinaTravel #FoodieFinds #TripCom
