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

Haigeng Dam

Haigeng Dam is back, and I really don’t recommend going in October because it’s just too amazing.
