#favouriteitinerary Haihong Wetland seamlessly combines natural beauty with urban scenery, creating a truly pleasant and relaxing environment. The integration of lush landscapes with city views makes it an ideal spot for those seeking both tranquility and the vibrancy of urban life. Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Haihong Wetland offers a unique and harmonious experience. The blend of nature and cityscapes provides a refreshing escape while still feeling connected to the urban atmosphere.

There are really not as many seagulls this year as in previous years! In previous years, if you drove around Dianchi Lake during the seagull season, you would occasionally encounter flocks of seagulls along the way! This year, the seagulls only worked for a few hours in each place! . I went around the lake again this year, and concluded that only Haihong Wetland [16:00-18:00 in the afternoon] had enough seagulls‼ ️ 📍Haihong Wetland Park 📅Monday to Sunday 07:00-22:00 🅿️Large parking lot planned at the entrance 🚇Get off at Jinjiahe Station on Metro Line 5 and walk, ride or take a car for 1.8 kilometers . 📒Travel plan . In addition to watching the seagulls flying all over the sky, the redwood forest in the park is very beautiful. You can arrange to arrive at the park after lunch, play and take pictures, and wait until 16:00 in the afternoon to the lakeside to wait for the seagulls until sunset! . ⚠️Tip . ✔️The wind is super strong! Be sure to protect your hat. As soon as you let go of it, it will fall into Dianchi Lake. ✔️There are a lot of people in Haihong Wetland, and there are no guardrails on the riverbank, so be sure to stand firm. ️

Who understands! On December 8, early spring in Kunming, I was surrounded by 10,000 seagulls at Haihong Park! That day, I was "locked" with the seagulls. I walked from Haigeng Dam to Haigeng Park, and finally to Haihong Wetland Park. There were flocks of seagulls flying everywhere along the way. As long as you throw out a little breadcrumb, these little white guys will go crazy and instantly start a carnival. The scene was so shocking! They are like little messengers from Siberia, bringing the most gentle "love letters" from there, crossing countless mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, just to come to Spring City for this romantic date. It was really ceremonial! I only had one thought in my mind at the time: I envy the locals in Kunming! There are so many fun places in Kunming. In addition to the good places to see seagulls mentioned above, Green Lake Park is also a great place. There are different beautiful sceneries in all seasons. The lake is green, the willows on the shore are drooping, and you can also see the ancient pavilions. In winter, there will also be many seagulls coming here to rest. Feeding seagulls and taking a walk by the lake is so pleasant. In terms of food, Kunming is simply a paradise for foodies. Crossing-the-bridge rice noodles is a must-try. The soup is rich and delicious, and the side dishes are rich and varied, with fresh and tender meat slices, juicy vegetables, and smooth and chewy rice noodles. One bite is full of happiness. There are also tofu pudding rice noodles, soft tofu pudding with spicy meat sauce and smooth rice noodles, rich in taste and satisfying every bite. Grilled rice cakes are also not to be missed. Put the rice cakes on the charcoal fire and bake them until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, then spread the sauce, and add various ingredients such as fried dough sticks and marinated eggs. Take a bite, and it is crispy and soft. There are also some precautions when traveling to Kunming. Don't grab the seagulls with your hands. Although they are cute, they are wild animals, so avoid getting hurt. The ultraviolet rays in Kunming are relatively strong, so no matter what season you come, you must take sun protection measures, and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat. When playing in the scenic area, take care of the environment, do not litter, and keep the scenic area clean and tidy. If you want to go to a crowded place like Green Lake Park, take care of your belongings and don't lose them.

If you want to feel the healing flying all over the sky If you want to feel the feeling of being surrounded by seagulls You must come here to feed the seagulls once in your life! [爱][爱][爱]。 ✅ Must-Experience: Sea Flood Wetland ⏳Playing time: Seagulls are recommended to come around 3pm at the most. The romance in the sun and breeze will never be forgotten for a lifetime. 🧳Preparation before going: buy shrimp or small cakes before going, these are the seagull's favorite, the park in the park 10 dollars a pack of seagull food can be bought, but personally tried them tired of eating do not like, at first when I saw them attracted to me results found my hand is gull food after they decisively chose my next child's hand shrimp, I immediately changed the strategy of feeding nearby happy food, I bought a pack of happy food at the entrance of the park. Don't think that seagulls don't like you, it's because you didn't fall for their preferences hahahahahaha 🤣 👍Most Recommended: The environment here is really great! You can also rent a small cart to drive around the park.

I took the best photos of my life at Kunming Haihong Wetland Park! If you plan to come to Kunming to see seagulls during the Lunar New Year, you must come here! Here is my seagull-watching guide - 📍Address: Haihong Wetland Park, Hubin Road, Kunming, Yunnan 🎫Ticket: 🆓 ⏰Seagull-watching time: 5:30 pm (staff start feeding seagulls at this time) - 🐦Seagull-watching guide 1️⃣It is recommended to come on a sunny day. At sunset, the sunset, the afterglow, the Dianchi Lake, and the seagulls flying all over the sky are so romantic. 2️⃣There are many seagulls, but also many people. Avoid coming on weekends and holidays, and be sure to arrive early. I arrived at around 4 pm and got a spot at 5:30 pm. 3️⃣The best seagull-watching spot is 100 meters before and after the small white bridge, where there is a viewing platform, and the staff will feed the seagulls there. - ⚠️Notes ✅It is recommended to take public transportation to Haihong Wetland Park. There are many cars after seagull-watching, and self-driving is not a good experience. ✅Prepare raincoats and hats, and wear them when you are not taking photos. You will thank me for this.😭 ✅Bring some seagull food. They will ignore you if you don't have food!

📍Haihong Wetland Park We went in the morning, and there were more seagulls between 8:30 and 9:30. If you want to see a large flock of seagulls, we recommend going to the south side of the park. You can take photos on the platform, but be careful! In the afternoon, there are people feeding the seagulls after 5:00 pm, which is when there are the most seagulls, but also the most people. If you want to get to the platform, we recommend arriving at least half an hour early. The seagulls all fly away at around 6:30 pm, but you can watch the sunset over Xishan. - Photo tips📷 1️⃣ In the afternoon, the light will be behind you, so it's best to prepare a reflector or a fill light. We used a flash in the morning. 2️⃣ You can buy some bread to feed the seagulls (they like it more than feed). Transportation🚘 📍 Take a taxi to Haihong Wetland Park. If you drive, you can park (it's not very expensive). - In addition to the seagulls, there are also red leaves in the park🍂 They also make for a great photo!

Haihong Wetland Park on a sunny day, with blue sky, white clouds, western mountains, redwood trees, and seagulls, is a beautiful oil painting. Today, when the temperature is 3℃, we went to check in again; the gray sky, the cold wind, the shivering people, the few seagulls, grinning teeth and taking pictures, the experience was terrible. If you want to take beautiful photos in the future, you should find good weather. With today’s temperature, it’s better to walk around the old streets in the city. At least the food is steaming hot. The food here is all brought in from outside. The clerk said that it can’t be done here. Get angry.

Here comes the guide for a two-day and one-night trip to Kunming. I personally think that the first day is also suitable for those who want to do a city walk or transfer. I came to Yunnan for five days, and the first and last days were in Kunming. The route for both days was not to get up early, and sleep until you wake up naturally. Day1: Aocheng Building ➡️ Kunming Old Street ➡️ Oriental Bookstore ➡️ Duiyue Building ➡️ No. 86 Guanghua Street ➡️ Abnormal Coffee ➡️ Huanggong East Street ➡️ Cuihu Park ➡️ Haigeng Dam ➡️ Tiepeng Small Pot Rice Noodles Day2: Dounan Flower Market ➡️ Haihong Wetland Park On the first day, I stayed near Kunming Station, not far from Aocheng. I could walk from Aocheng Building to Kunming Old Street. The old street is very large, and this street is on the way to Cuihu Park. The navigation will tell me how to go! My sister and I arrived at the Haigeng Dam at 5:30. There were still a lot of seagulls there, and we got off work at about 6:15! You can go in the morning, there are many seagulls and you are hungry, but you are full at night haha 🍜I recommend Tiepeng small pot rice noodles. I ordered stinky tofu. The group purchase is 💰16.9+papaya water. It is a great deal. The bowl is big and the quantity is sufficient. I added a skewer of beef and it was also very fragrant 💰5/skewer On the last day, I stayed near Kunming South Station Kunming University City, which is relatively close to Dounan Flower Market. If the schedule allows, the flower market is worth visiting. The flowers are fresh and cheap, with an average price of 10💰/bunch. Buy flowers and take pictures at Haihong Wetland Park. There are also seagulls when I arrive at noon. The park scenery is beautiful 🍱There are many foods near the university town. The bread is average, and the mixed vegetables are so delicious. I bought it twice when I came to Kunming! Kunming is very fun. I came here alone. The girls I met were all very nice. We took photos and chatted together. The locals were also warm and friendly. It was a happy trip. Kunming, see you again if we are lucky.

Kunming sunsets: a visual feast In this fast-paced era, we are often troubled by the trivialities of life and find it difficult to take time to appreciate the beauty of nature. However, I recently arranged a trip to the shores of Dianchi Lake in Kunming to experience the sunset there. Although the sunset I had originally expected was not as fiery as I had imagined, its beauty still touched me deeply, and I couldn't help but marvel at the magic and magnificence of nature. The charm of Dianchi Lake Dianchi Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province, attracts countless tourists with its vast lake surface and beautiful natural scenery. The Haigeng Wetland Park on the lakeside is an ideal viewing spot, surrounded by lush trees and rippling water, giving a sense of tranquility and comfort. Here, I found the best spot to capture this beautiful moment. The changing sunset As the sun slowly set, the sky began to be tinged with warm colors. Although today's sunset was not that fiery red, the soft orange, pink, and purple intertwined to form a beautiful picture. Every second, the color of the sky changed quietly, as if telling the story of the sunset. I picked up my camera and tried to capture this ever-changing beauty. The dance of the seagulls In this picture, the seagulls are an indispensable protagonist. They soar freely in the air, echoing the sunset, forming a picture of dynamic and static combination. The seagulls sometimes fly low, sometimes soar high, as if they are having an elegant dance with the sunset. Watching them, a warmth surged in my heart, as if all my troubles disappeared at this moment. The joy of sharing with friends I was not alone here, but with my friends. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset while sharing bits and pieces of our lives. Such moments made me feel the warmth and intimacy between people. Whether it's the little troubles in life or the pressure of work, under this beautiful sunset, they all seem insignificant. Appreciating the beauty of life During this trip, I not only appreciated the sunset in Kunming, but more importantly, it made me re-examine the beauty of life. Every detail of nature is worth savoring, whether it's the warm sunset or the seagulls flying in the air, they are gifts from life. We should learn to slow down and feel the beauty around us, and cherish the time spent with friends. This trip to Kunming made me feel the beauty of the sunset and the true meaning of life. Although the colors of the sunset were not as fiery as I had hoped, its softness and tranquility gave my soul a baptism. In the future, I hope to have more such moments to feel the charm of nature and share the bits and pieces of life. No matter how busy life is, we should always take time to appreciate those seemingly ordinary but precious moments.

Very cinematic! p7-11 (around 18:30-19:00)

Kunming has hidden beautiful scenery, it would be a pity to miss it! In autumn and winter, the red metasequoia forests are colorful and look like a painting; Siberian seagulls flutter in groups, adding to the fun. Don't think of Kunming as a transit point for tourism anymore. If you don't want to travel to Kunming, you should miss this place.
