Kunming's Winter Exclusive Romantic Seagull Time at Haihong Wetland

No need to squeeze onto Haigeng Dam! Haihong Wetland is the ultimate healing secret spot for watching seagulls in Kunming🌿 Every year from November to March, black-headed gulls travel thousands of miles to gather here, creating a romantic scene of "thousands of gulls flying together"🦅 Without cold railings blocking the way, the waterside platform lets you get up close and personal with these little creatures—just raise your hand and you can catch the adorable ones circling around~ Key point! 5:00 PM is the golden hour⏰ The keepers feed the gulls right on time, and flocks of seagulls dive and scramble for food. The moment their wings skim the water, you won’t be able to stop snapping photos. Around 6:00 PM is even more stunning, with the golden sunset spreading over Dianchi Lake, seagull silhouettes framed by Sleeping Beauty Mountain—every shot looks like a cinematic masterpiece📸 Tips to avoid pitfalls👇 Buy the special seagull feed on site for 15 yuan per pack, and don’t feed them bread to protect their health~ Wear light-colored clothes for great photos, and add a scarf to boost the vibe. Weekends get crowded, so it’s best to visit on weekdays during off-peak hours. Be careful on the slippery shore! When you’re tired of walking, check out the “Seagull Market”🎪 with creative snacks and magic shows, or rent a transparent boat to glide through the dawn redwood forest, where you might encounter flocks of gulls flying overhead—pure healing vibes~ Kunming’s winter is hidden in the seagull calls and sunsets of Haihong Wetland. Come and join this gentle rendezvous💕
