The receptionist welcomed us warmly with a bright smile and went above and beyond by offering a refreshing cup of flower tea every time we visited the lobby—a gesture that made us feel incredibly valued. The lobby itself was a modern, cafe-inspired space with plenty of cozy sofas, perfect for relaxing. The complimentary afternoon tea and breakfast were delightful additions that enhanced our experience. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a bed that provided the perfect rest after a long day. It was truly the best service we've ever encountered.

#chinatrip #autumn #kunming #wetland On a sunny autumn day, Haidong Wetlands Park in Kunming unfolded like a painter’s masterpiece. Towering dawn redwoods stood ablaze in hues of fiery red and golden yellow, their reflections shimmering in the serene waters. It was the perfect backdrop for an autumn escape—ideal for leisurely picnics and the simple joys of gliding across the water in glass-bottomed boats. Surrounded by the vibrant seasonal palette, we soaked in the crisp air and tranquil beauty, making it a day of pure autumn bliss. Haidong Wetland Park isn’t just a place to visit; it’s where autumn truly comes alive.

#chinatrip#kunming #yunnan #park #autumn #Spring Green Lake Park (翠湖公园) is a must-visit heaven for anyone in Kunming, and for good reason. Nestled in the heart of the city, this picturesque oasis is where nature and serenity converge. Its stunning landscape transforms with the seasons—lush and vibrant in spring, a golden palette in autumn—showcasing Kunming’s enchanting charm. The tranquil ambience is perfect for leisurely strolls along willow-lined paths, enjoying lotus-filled ponds, or simply basking in the harmony of chirping birds and gentle breezes

Kunming Xihua Wetland Park is located on the west bank of Dianchi Lake, in the middle of Gaohai Highway, at the foot of Guanyin Mountain. The park retains the simple style of nature, with layers of reeds, winding boardwalks, beautiful lakes and mountains, and rippling waves. The park has rich vegetation and different scenery in each season. In spring, flowers bloom; in summer, trees provide shade; in autumn, leaves turn golden; and in winter, green plants remain. Photography tips for Metasequoia and Dianchi Lake: - Time: - Morning: The light is soft and the air is fresh in the morning. The metasequoia forest is more colorful in the morning light, and the surface of Dianchi Lake is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the beautiful scenery. If you're lucky, you can capture the scene of water birds foraging and playing on the surface of Dianchi Lake, adding vitality and dynamism to the photos of metasequoia and Dianchi Lake. - Evening: In the evening, the sun sets, the sky is dyed orange-red, and the metasequoia forest presents a unique silhouette effect in the backlight, which complements the sparkling Dianchi Lake, creating a very beautiful picture. Moreover, the light angle is lower at this time, which can create a warm and romantic atmosphere, suitable for taking artistic photos. - Shooting angle: - Low angle: You can choose to squat on the ground or lie on the boardwalk to shoot metasequoia from a low angle. This can highlight the tall and straight metasequoia, while using Dianchi Lake as the background to show the interaction between metasequoia and Dianchi Lake. For example, shoot the reflection of metasequoia trunks and branches on the surface of Dianchi Lake to add layers and artistic sense to the photos. - Upward shot: Shoot metasequoia from bottom to top to show the towering metasequoia, while making the sky the background, making the picture more concise and atmospheric. When shooting upward, you can choose a piece of metasequoia forest as the subject, or use a single metasequoia as the main subject to highlight its shape and texture. - Overhead shot: If possible, you can climb the observation deck in the park or a nearby high place to overlook the metasequoia forest and Dianchi Lake. This way, you can capture the overall layout of the metasequoia forest and the full view of Dianchi Lake, showing the magnificence and beauty of nature.

At night, the pedestrian street becomes even more lively, filled with the laughter and conversations of people. Various street performances and impromptu music fill the air, naturally guiding people's footsteps to the rhythm. Here, you can often see smiling tourists enjoying traditional food and local specialties, capturing their joyful moments with cameras. Especially, the buildings on Nanping Pedestrian Street look even more beautiful due to the unique lighting.

Walking under these lights while chatting with friends allows you to feel the history and culture of Kunming up close. A night walk here offers more than just sightseeing. Nanping Pedestrian Street, where you can simultaneously feel the city's vibrancy and cultural richness, is the perfect place to provide unforgettable moments for travelers who love night views.

Didn't expect such prices in the city center!! 2 yuan for a vegetable dish!! - All dishes are ethnic specialties from southern Yunnan! Fried pea powder, fried ribs, fried chicken giblets, spicy snail meat... Over 20 types of dishes! Just like getting food in a cafeteria! Main dishes include chicken rice and white rice! Must try the chicken rice! I had three bowls 😭 - Nice view on the second floor! Sitting alone and eating slowly! It's quite comfortable 💗 🏠Southern Yunnan Snack Bar (Jingxing Flower Street)

Kunming Tube Building is also a very popular sky eye net red card place Of course, you have to go to Kunming to check in. It is also highly recommended by CITYWALK. Go directly from the mall and climb up to 6F according to the instructions. You need to use a super wide-angle lens to shoot upwards, so the wider the lens, the better~ The newly decorated terrace is also very beautiful, painted with Van Gogh's starry sky, and there are hand-painted walls and pink beaches next to it🏖 But this is a residential area, it is recommended to check in civilization, do not litter, do not make noise.
