Haihong Wetland Park Travel Guide | Encounter the Natural Beauty of Kunming

Haihong Wetland Park is located on the northern shore of Dianchi Lake in Kunming City. It is a nature-filled attraction well worth visiting👍. Here is a travel recommendation to help you fully enjoy the beauty here. Basic Information 📍Address: 50 meters southwest of Kunming Dianchi Water Co., Ltd., Hubin Road, Xishan District, Kunming, Yunnan Province ⏰Opening Hours: 09:00 - 18:00 (last entry at 17:00) 🎫Admission: Free Featured Experiences • Beauty of Dawn Redwood Forest: In autumn and winter (especially from November to March), the dawn redwood forest changes from green to yellow and red, creating a "red mangrove on water" scene. You can rent a transparent boat for 90 yuan to paddle through the forest🚣, immersing yourself in nature’s beauty and capturing stunning photos. • Accompanied by Seagulls: From November to March, Siberian red-billed gulls migrate here. Between 17:00 and 18:00 or during staff feeding times, flocks of seagulls fly to the shore. Bring bread or gull feed to interact with them and capture many warm moments between people and nature😉. • Sunset Spectacle: Around 17:30 - 18:30 in the evening, the afterglow shines over the wetlands and Dianchi Lake, blending the dawn redwood forest with the sunset clouds. You can take breathtaking photos without filters. It’s a hidden gem for watching sunsets in Kunming🌅. Travel Routes • Classic Half-Day Tour: Enter from the north gate, first paddle in the dawn redwood forest for 1-2 hours, then walk along the lake to feed the seagulls at Dianchi Lake, and finally wait for the sunset to take beautiful photos before heading back. • Full-Day Combo Tour: In the morning, enjoy the scenery, feed gulls, and paddle at Haihong Wetland. At noon, visit Yunnan Nationalities Village to experience the culture of 25 ethnic minorities and taste local snacks. Then explore the Yunnan Nationalities Museum for deeper cultural insights. In the evening, stroll and eat at Tea Horse Flower Street to experience Kunming’s snacks and street scenes. Transportation Guide • Public Transport: Take Metro Line 5 to Jinjiahe Station, then ride an electric bike about 1.8 km; or get off at Fubao Station Exit B and walk 1.2 km. You can also take bus K31 to Hubin Road Station and walk 109 meters; or bus 106 to Haigeng Park East Gate Station and walk 919 meters. • Driving/Taxi: Navigate to "Haihong Wetland Park." The park has parking lots at the northeast and north gates, but spaces are limited. It’s recommended to arrive early on holidays. Useful Tips • Photography: Sunny days yield the best photos. Wear light-colored clothes to complement the blue sky and Dianchi Lake. Bring a telephoto lens or drone for better shots of dawn redwoods, seagulls, and sunsets. • Clothing: Kunming has large temperature differences between morning and evening. Even on sunny days, bring a jacket. In autumn and winter, wear warm-toned clothing. • Food & Drink: There are snack stalls at the entrance, but no large restaurants inside the park. It’s recommended to bring your own water and snacks. • Avoid Crowds: Weekends and holidays are busy, and boat rentals may have queues. Try to visit on weekdays or during off-peak hours. Evening Accommodation: Kunming Cuihu Liruid Hotel After a day of sightseeing, it’s recommended to rest at Kunming Cuihu Liruid Hotel🛏️. The hotel offers a beautiful environment with 89 well-equipped rooms. It features an advanced hot water system so you can enjoy a comfortable hot shower anytime. Located next to Cuihu Lake, the hotel is surrounded by a pleasant environment with convenient transportation. In the evening, you can stroll around Cuihu Lake to experience Kunming’s night scenery and local culture.

Kunming is serving up sunshine and nature vibes everywhere you look 🌞🍃 — this trip had outdoor scenery, stunning wetlands, and modern architecture to round it off! If you’re chasing that ultimate chill in China’s Spring City, here are my must-see spots and tips. Top Spots to Visit in Kunming: 🌳 Dianchi Lake Wetlands (Open 8:30–17:30, Xishan District): Perfect for morning walks and seeing local birds. The views are epic on sunny days! 🌄 Dongchuan Red Land: If natural color explosions are your thing, drive out here for sunset—seriously, camera is a must! 🏞️ Green Lake Park (Cuihu Park, 67 Cuihu Road, Wuhua District, 7:30–18:00): Chill under willows, spot koi fish, and watch locals dance. 🌲 Yunnan Nationalities Village (Near Dianchi Road, 8:30–17:00): Culture meets lakeside relaxation, great for snapping vibrant local architecture. 🏛️ Modern Kunming: Swing by the Twin Towers: these iconic city skyscrapers stand tall downtown, awesome for cityscape photos. Travel Tips: My main takeaway: Sun and nature are everywhere, so plan for full-sun days and take plenty of water with you (Kunming’s altitude can sneak up on you!), and bring a hat for shade. Transport is super efficient—just use Kunming’s metro and public buses to hop between major sights. For food, hit up local spots near Green Lake Park for crossing-the-bridge noodles—you can’t leave without trying this! Key Kunming Hacks: Public transport runs till late—download trip.com for schedules and ticketing you’ll actually use. Weather can switch fast from sunny to cool—pack a light jacket! Cashless payment is king: set up Alipay or WeChat Pay if you don’t want cash stress. #KunmingNature #SpringCityVibes #YunnanTravel #ChinaTrip #DianchiLake
