Green Lake Serenity🌳

🌳 Kunming’s The Green Lake Park stole my heart with its chill vibes and epic blend of nature and culture — ducks gliding on the lake, lotus blooms everywhere, and those cool mix of ancient Chinese and fresh modern architecture. If you’re a nature-lover, this spot absolutely delivers the green fix. 🦆✨ Must-See in Kunming: The Green Lake Park Address: No. 66, Cuihu South Road, Wuhua District, Kunming Hours: Apr–Nov: 6am–midnight; Dec–Mar: 6am–11pm Whether it’s full sun or a moody rainy day, Green Lake Park is stunning year-round. Start your morning with a walk around the lakes — you’ll spot ducks, lush lotus pads, sprawling trees, and can soak in the combo of traditional and modern architecture along the way. Keep an eye open for local birds and koi swimming close to the bridges! Hot tip: Go early morning for the best light and fewer crowds. If you’re into photography or just want to zen out, the reflections on the water and all that greenery are totally Insta-worthy. If it rains, the park gets a gentle mist that looks magical for landscape shots and quiet strolls. Getting Around: The park is super central. Best hack: hop on Kunming’s Metro to "Cuihu" subway station, then walk 5 mins. No need for taxis! Eat nearby: Try Yunnan specialties at local joints dotted along Cuihu South Road—rice noodles (mixian) are a must! Extra: No ticket needed—entry’s free! Bring a refillable water bottle and snack, you’ll want to chill out longer than planned. #kunmingnature #greenlakepark #chinatravel #yunnandays #hellohalloween

The Green Lake Park

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
