Kunming Free Hidden Gem Park|Bailongtan's Secret Spot, Exclusive Park Visit is So Healing

Kunming Free Hidden Gem Park🔥|Bailongtan's Secret Spot, Exclusive Park Visit is So Healing A surprise is hidden near Kunming South Railway Station! After seeing off a friend, I accidentally discovered Bailongtan Park, which is free to enter, quiet with few people, and truly a top secret spot for niche travelers. Perfect for camping, photography, and taking kids out. Spending a weekend here to completely unwind is super comfortable~ 🌟 Key Highlights: Niche but full of surprises - Quiet and almost exclusive: Visiting on a Saturday afternoon was exceptionally peaceful, almost like having the entire park to myself. No crowds, fully immersed in the natural comfort—a true urban escape; - Fully equipped for all activities: Features large lawns, wetlands, cedar tree slopes, and viewing pavilions. Camping, picnics, dog walking, and kids’ outings are all covered, making it an all-around outdoor leisure spot; - High photo success rate: The bench and cedar trees are perfect check-in spots. When the light is right, every snap feels like a mood-filled masterpiece. Unique and not crowded, your social media will easily stand out. 📍 Practical Check-in Guide 1. Basic Info & Transportation - Exact location: Navigate by car to "Bailongtan Park West Gate," about 3 km from Kunming South Railway Station, very convenient; - Tickets & Parking: Completely free🆓, free roadside parking available, no extra cost, very hassle-free travel; - Alternative transport: Besides driving, take Metro Line 1 to Bailongtan Station, exit and you’re there. A 10-minute bike ride is also possible, multiple options available. 2. Check-in Tips - Best time: Preferably visit between 4:00-6:00 PM. On sunny days, the light is soft and not harsh. Backlighting the cedar trees naturally adds a soft filter, doubling the photo effect; - Outfit advice: Wear Maillard color tones (beige, khaki, light brown, etc.) to perfectly match the park’s autumn scenery—simple yet sophisticated; - Key photo spot: Focus on the "bench and cedar tree" combo. Sitting on the bench with the cedar trees behind you, every shot is a healing masterpiece. 💡 Must-know Notes 1. No shops inside the park, so bring your own drinking water and snacks to avoid running out during your visit; 2. Camping and picnics are allowed, but open flames are prohibited. Please enjoy responsibly for safety; 3. Different scenery in every season: stunning cedars in autumn, cherry blossoms and roses in spring, worth visiting year-round. 🛏️ Recommended Transit Stay If traveling via Kunming South Railway Station or visiting Bailongtan Park, the Vienna International Hotel (Kunming High-Speed Rail South Station City Government Branch) is recommended: just 10 minutes by car from Kunming South Station, offers free shuttle service to and from the station, comfortable and tidy rooms, convenient travel, perfect for resting and recharging before or after your park visit or onward journey.
