①Haigeng Dam
Haigeng Park is not far away, the two attractions can be checked in together to feed the seagulls can directly navigate to Haigeng Dam. Before going, buy some small bread in advance, you can also bargain on the spot, be sure to buy banana-flavored wet bread, too dry seagulls do not eat.
②Haihong Wetland Park
Be sure to enter the North Gate very close to the ticket office, noon 9~12 o'clock can go boating. From Haigeng Dam ride a shared electric car not far, a large area of water fir forest rowing a small boat a ray of sunlight through the neat water fir forest sprinkled on the face has a very atmospheric feeling double boat 50/hour

To the cable car at the middle of the Western Hills.

This year's Dianchi Lake is particularly lively. Even the seabirds in Siberia have become picky. Because they are too full, listen to the tourists next to them. If you want to get the favor of seabirds, you may have to lift the bread for 10 minutes. A little luck, remember that when you came in 2015, a loaf of bread, there are dozens of birds that will take you around. Since there is no way to feed well, then take a photo of Meimei.
Take a boat ride in Dianchi Lake. Groups of seagulls stop at the top of the boat. Grab a handful of food and throw it into the sky. You can see the seagulls flying up and competing at a close distance. The seagull is still very timid and will not easily approach people. So everyone must not hurt them.

Red-billed seagulls, as the name suggests, are red-orange in their beaks and red-orange in their two claws. Most of the body is pure white with a black tail.

One is Dianchi Lake and the other is Green Lake.

Kunming in April lets you roam in a sea of flowers
Living in the south, I often hear people talk about the spring-like Kunming, how it's a sea of flowers everywhere, and the scenery of Dianchi Lake is picturesque. I wonder, as a Southerner, what sea of flowers haven't I seen?
So I came. In this blue and purple sea of Kunming, I would be heartbroken if anyone hasn't seen the Jacaranda. As a Southerner, I've seen plenty of vibrant springs, but the shock I received here in this blue and purple sea is still slightly inferior
Dianchi Lake in Kunming, Mr. Guo Moruo once wrote a 'Waltz of Dianchi' praising the lake: 'The dawn light floats like green gauze over Dianchi, with the Dragon Gate on the mountain reflected in the center of the water, like a maiden spreading her scent in her sleep, the sleeping beauty rests by the side of Dianchi.'
Dianchi Lake, also known as Kunming Lake, is the sixth largest freshwater lake in China. Its vast surface is shrouded in mist, very magnificent. Tourists visiting Kunming will usually take a look, to see the Dianchi Lake described by Mr. Guo Moruo, to see the flying seagulls🌊
A dreamy journey with the blooming Jacaranda, a must-visit in spring!
🌸In the springtime of Kunming, a blue dream quietly unfolds. Every spring, the Jacaranda trees adorn the city with their unique blue-purple blossoms, casting a romantic veil over it. As a flower-chasing enthusiast, how could I miss this visual feast? Today, I will take you into Kunming to experience this dreamlike sea of Jacaranda flowers!
📍1. Jiaochang Middle Road
📍2. Alongside the Panlong River
📍3. Spring City Road
📍4. Hongjin Road

📆Best time for flower viewing: March to April every year
📸Photo tips: The Jacaranda has a unique flower color, it is recommended to wear light-colored clothes to form a stark contrast with the flowers, and take beautiful photos.
Kunming Pond Filling!!
1. Dianchi Lake
If you go here in the morning, there will be many seagulls. The seagulls are hungrier in the morning, so it's easier to feed them, and the scenery is beautiful and suitable for taking photos and checking in. To see the sunrise, you can go to the next stop 2, Kunming Old Street
You'll fall in love with this place after just one visit. As someone who loves to take photos, I especially like that each alley has different surprises. The ancient buildings are well-preserved, and there are many popular spots for social media check-ins. When you're tired from walking, there are plenty of delicacies. There's a place called Wenming Street in the photos, which has a lot of delicious food. After eating and drinking to your heart's content, head to the park
3. Cuihu Park
Here, there are cherry blossoms, black-headed gulls, tulips, and I even encountered a foraging squirrel, but unfortunately, I was on the phone and didn't take a photo. There's also the Army Lecture Hall near the west gate of Cuihu, but I was in a rush when I visited, so I didn't go to see it
4. Yunnan University
The first time I entered a university gate was actually to take photos and check in. It's very quiet here. Turn right at the north gate for cherry blossoms, which are beautiful for photos. Turn right at the south gate for a quiet path, which is also nice for photos. I was in a hurry because my flight was rescheduled, otherwise I would have definitely taken my time to stroll around
5. Wangguan Wetland Park
This is a place recommended by a local friend. I just love watching the sunset. Although the place is not big, it's quite peaceful, and the sunset is absolutely beautiful
6. Dounan Flower Market
If you love flowers, don't miss this place. There are fresh flowers of all kinds here. After browsing, you can have a meal. There's a food street with a variety of snacks. I visited 1.5.6 on the first afternoon because Dianchi Lake is far from the city center, so I went there first. 5.6 are close to each other, so it's convenient to go back to the hotel after visiting. There's a subway station next to Dounan Flower Market
The next morning, I visited 2.3.4, which are close to each other and within walking distance
Kunming locals, how do you take pictures of the blue jacaranda at night?
This is my impression of the spring blue jacaranda in Kunming.
In springtime Kunming, if there comes a timely rain, it must be a delightful and colorful shower of blossoms.
Following the Panlong River to its source, heading towards Dian Lake, have you noticed those delicate and lonely strands of elegant blue?
If March in Yangzhou is about leaning on the railing amidst the lush greenery, then April in Kunming must be about waiting for you amidst the tranquil blue jacarandas~~~
But as a local Kunming resident, while tourists take photos of the blue jacaranda, I am at work, and I don't want to move in the crowded weekends, does that mean I can't take pictures of the blue jacaranda? Not necessarily.
We can pretend to go on a diet right after work in the evening, and experience the combination of blue jacaranda and dusk.
Recommended spots:
Beside Taoyuan Square
On the bridge that crosses the Panlong River on Yuantong Street
📷 Essential equipment
Say it three times: a telephoto lens
Don't use a phone, the difference is really huge
At these two locations, as night falls, the lights from shops begin to twinkle, and the bridge is lit by car headlights. Using a telephoto lens to create bokeh might result in some light spots, but it already forms a very good supplementary light.
After a tiring day at work, I too can have a beautiful evening date with the blue jacaranda~~~

Practical Travel Advice for You Coming to Kunming in April
🍃 To start, Kunming's Jacaranda trees are about to make a brilliant appearance again, with the blooming season lasting the entire month of April. Recommended 3 best spots: Jiaochang Middle Road, Panlong River, and Spring City Road.
🍃 Although Yunnan is a great tourist province, note: Kunming is not strictly a tourist city. The local attractions include Dian Lake, Golden Temple, Yunnan University, and the Stone Forest, but Kunming is the best transit hub with many discounted flights, making it convenient to travel to Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, Dali, Tengchong, and Shangri-La.
🍃 When in Kunming, you must visit the local markets, especially in spring when there are many seasonal vegetables, and the fruits in Kunming are really cheap. You can go to small markets often frequented by locals, such as Wuli Market.
🍃 In Kunming, a 'jin' usually refers to a kilogram, so it's really a lot cheaper than other places, even cheaper than Xishuangbanna.
🍃 No matter what, don't miss the Zhuanxin Farmers' Market, where you can find all kinds of snacks and fruits. Make sure to go there on an empty stomach.
🍃 Although Kunming is known for its spring-like weather all year round, it gets cold as soon as it rains, so even in summer, bring a thicker coat.
🍃 The ultraviolet rays in Kunming are very, very strong, so be sure to pay attention to sun protection!
🍃 Most of Kunming's attractions are distributed within the inner ring: Yunnan University, Green Lake Park, Zhuanxin Farmers' Market, Dian Lake, and Dounan Flower Market.
🍃 The night view of Kunming from Changchong Mountain is really beautiful, and you should definitely go see it if you have time.
🍃 If you want to go to the Stone Forest, there are buses from Kunming Airport to the Stone Forest. You can go to the Stone Forest first and then return to Kunming city, or do it the other way around, going directly to the airport from the Stone Forest.
🍃 The seagulls at Dian Lake can only be seen in winter, usually from November to March. Dian Lake is crowded and the water is not very clean, so Fuxian Lake, a 2-hour drive away, is more recommended.
🍃 Green Lake Park in Kunming, you can also see seagulls in winter, and besides that, it's a rather common park.
🍃 Nanping Road is just a very commercial, ordinary, and common city pedestrian street.
🍃 If you have more time, Kunming is just a transit point. You can travel from Kunming to Xishuangbanna to Pu'er to Yuxi and back to Kunming. Or from Kunming to Dali to Lijiang to Shangri-La and back to Kunming, which is expected to take about 6 days. If you have 2/3 days, you can go to places like Jianshui, Fuxian Lake, and Mile.
🍃 It is recommended to go to Dounan Flower Market after 9 pm, when the market is at its liveliest and the prices are unimaginably low.
🍃 Do not go to the Miniature Theme Park and Journey to the West Cave!
🍃 As for accommodation, there are more guesthouses in Guandu District, so it's cheaper and also convenient for travel. Panlong District and Wuhua District have more brand hotels due to their proximity to the city center. Personal strong recommendation: Kunming Craftsman's House, it's really inconvenient and a bit old, but for 200 yuan, you get the quality of a thousand yuan stay, the value for money is really high!

Yunnan Kunming Xishan Scenic Area

The Xishan forest is dense, the flowers and plants are prosperous, quiet and beautiful, with excellent scenery.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shen praised Xishan in 'Yunnan Mountain and River Records' as 'the cliffs are ten thousand feet, the green water is a thousand feet, the moon is printed on the clear waves, the clouds are at the top, it is a good place in Dian.'

It is said that there are phoenixes living here, so it is called 'Biji Mountain'; and because the Xishan peaks are far away, it looks like a huge sleeping Buddha, and it is like a beautiful girl lying on the edge of Dianchi Lake, so it has the name 'Sleeping Buddha Mountain' or 'Sleeping Beauty'.
