Skip work and go to Kunming to chase the wind.

Instead of waiting for the wind to come, why not chase it? The best places to shop in Kunming are actually the farmers' markets and flower markets! Jiuxiang Market is also great value! 🪨 📍【City Attractions】 ▪️Kunming Old Street: Features two Duiyuelou hotels, a must-visit for tourists 📸 But overall, it's not much different from other pedestrian streets, just a quick stroll along the way. ▪️Aocheng Building: A popular round building, definitely photogenic! Half an hour is enough for photos 📸 ▪️Cuihu Park: Quite lively, a popular leisure park for locals. Now it's also a tourist attraction, with seagulls 🕊️ It should be even more beautiful during lotus season! There are many local bakeries and milk tea shops nearby 🧋 ▪️Guanshang Old Street: Beware! It's a place where tour guides try to sell medicinal herbs, essential oils, and silver jewelry… There's not much to see or eat, so avoid it 💣 ▪️Daguanzhuan Farmers' Market: My favorite stop in the city! Super fun to shop around! Lots of unique fruits and local snacks 🍍 Highly recommend the ginger chicken feet and colorful peanuts 🥜 ​​Try the fruits on the spot after you buy them; if they're not fresh, you can ask the owner for a refund. 📍【Dianchi Lake Area】 ▪️Laoyuhe Wetland Park: Not recommended 💧 Only a few trees at the entrance are worth seeing, the water smells terrible… I had absolutely no desire to take photos. ▪️Haiyan Village: The entrance looks unremarkable, but once inside, it's a hidden gem! Super beautiful, and you can even take pictures of seagulls 🕊️ Worth checking out! ▪️Dounan Flower Market: Flowers are sold by weight 💐! It gets even more lively after 8 pm, and there are also many snacks to explore and eat. 📍【Shilin Jiuxiang】 I booked a day tour on the platform, which was much more cost-effective than traveling independently! Buying tickets independently costs over 300 RMB, but a group tour only costs 233 RMB💰, and the group meals were surprisingly delicious! ▪️Stone Forest: My first time seeing karst landforms was very novel; the stone forest was fascinating! ▪️Jiuxiang: A cave I'd always wanted to see! Absolutely breathtaking✨ The entire tour included a boat trip and cable car ride, making it my top pick for Kunming attractions! 🍜【Kunming Food Recommendations】 - BA: The bagel was amazing, and the blueberry box cake was also super delicious🧁 - Elephant Tea Shop: The signature avocado🥑 was so unique! - Various Rice Noodles: A rice noodle paradise where you can't go wrong with anything; the Pu'er vinegar rice noodles were particularly special. - Mu Zi Ginger Chicken Feet: So delicious I screamed, but it was really spicy🌶️ - Milk Fan, Tofu Rice Noodles, Mushroom Hot Pot… all worth trying!
