Kunming Dianchi Photo Check-in Guide, a Must-Visit Spot

Here comes the Kunming Dianchi photo check-in guide! This hidden gem is truly stunning, offering different scenery to capture all year round📸 ✨Must-visit photo spots at Dianchi: 1️⃣ Haigeng Dam In winter, you can photograph many black-headed gulls🕊️, and every shot looks like an Instagram masterpiece. Capturing the moment of feeding the gulls is especially heartwarming, remember to bring some bread~ 2️⃣ Xishan Cableway Take the cable car🚠 to overlook the entire Dianchi Lake. On clear days, you can capture beautiful reflections of the mountains and water. The best light is around 4 PM. 3️⃣ Near Yunnan Nationalities Village The yellow wall covered with green plants and orange flowers (location: 100 meters east from the main entrance of the Nationalities Village) is definitely a popular check-in spot on Xiaohongshu! Wearing light-colored clothes is recommended for better photos👗 4️⃣ Guanjing Road This road is lined with cherry blossoms and peach blossoms🌸, especially romantic when they bloom in March and April. You can capture scenes of pink flower seas with Dianchi Lake in the frame, full of artistic vibes! 5️⃣ Caohai Dam In autumn, the ginkgo trees here are stunning🍂. The golden leaves paired with the deep blue Dianchi Lake create a painting-like quality in every photo. 🍜 Food Recommendations: ▫️ There are many Dai cuisine restaurants near Dianchi Road; try the grilled fish and pineapple rice. ▫️ The grilled rice cakes sold at the entrance of Haigeng Park are also very authentic. 🚌 Transportation Tips: ▫️ It’s recommended to drive or take a taxi; bus routes 24 and 44 go directly there. ▫️ For the best light and shadows, visit before 8 AM or after 4 PM. 💡 Travel Tips: ▫️ Be sure to check the weather forecast; Dianchi is especially beautiful on sunny days. ▫️ Bring a pair of comfortable shoes; walking and taking photos along the lake will be very pleasant.
