Fewer people, stunning views, and an immersive experience feeding the seagulls~ Just navigate directly to "Kunming Workers' Sanatorium," where parking is convenient and cheap, offering great value! The main building of the sanatorium faces Dianchi Lake, and standing at the entrance, you can enjoy a wide open lake view with shimmering waves that are so soothing 🌊 You can walk to Leilou, a whole building made of stacked stones, naturally peaceful. Originally designed as a private garden, every photo looks like a forest-themed masterpiece~ The local seagull squad here is super friendly, slowly handing over seagull food. Watching them circle and fly, there’s no need to fight for a spot—so relaxing you won’t want to leave! Get the Kunming seagull-watching guide to avoid the crowds ✅ Quickly invite your friends to enjoy the romance of Dianchi Lake and the seagulls here~
