#travelinginchina The first stop: Kunming!! Laoyuhe Wetland and Park Haiyan Village This is my travel itinerary. First, I arrived in Kunming. The attractions I visited include Laoyuhe Wetland Park, where the scenes from picture 1 to picture 12 were taken. It's a wonderful place full of natural beauty. Then I went to Haiyan Village, and the pictures from 13 to 15 were captured there.

Dress as a local [Grin] "Attention, tourists! You have entered the park that looks least like a park in Kunming - Laoyu River Wetland Park. The grass here is wilder than in urban villages, there are more flowers than in internet-famous coffee shops, seagulls eat more than they poop, and the wind is stronger than your imagination. The key is that it's free! Free! Free! (Important things should be said three times)" 📷 Wild photography 1️⃣Holding the various flowers I bought in Dounan, I stand on tiptoe and look around 2️⃣ Wear a wreath on your head and sit on the wooden plank road 3️⃣ Take crazy selfies in the direction where the seagulls are flying Ps Many places near the water are backlit in the afternoon, so you need to walk more, otherwise you will become a yin-yang face or a big black face, and your girlfriend will definitely kick you away. Yes, the wind is very strong, yes, very strong, and occasionally it will rain on sunny days, so prepare your clothes to keep warm ~ and bring things like hats that are easily blown away ~ P.S. Be careful if you can't hold it tight, there will be a surprise randomly. 🚗Transportation Reference You can get there via Line 1/4. Anyway, you still need to take a taxi for another five or six kilometers. There are occasional traffic controls and parking lots for self-driving cars, but there are few spots and you have to look for them, which doesn't save time. I recommend taking a taxi first. 🍲Eat and drink these Although there is an amusement center, it doesn't feel like a regular scenic spot. When you enter the door, you will see snack stalls commonly seen in other places and traditional playgrounds that use ring fishing to coax children. The signboards are messy. Fortunately, it is not far away, so just follow the crowd. I personally don't recommend eating here. It's OK to bring some with you. Be careful not to litter and protect the environment. ⚠️People on the Internet say that sunsets are beautiful and easy to photograph. In fact, an ordinary mobile phone cannot capture those filter effects in backlight. Be careful to distinguish the information on the Internet. Moreover, the weather near the water is changeable, and there are only about ten minutes before and after the sunset, so you have to hurry up and shoot! Just find a place and press it mindlessly. If a black face doesn't work, just make it a silhouette. Hahaha

Perhaps no one can resist the allure of the blue. As a child, I read the story of The Little Mermaid, Ba Jin's "Sunrise on the Sea," and later, verses like "Vast is the water, towering are the mountains and islands" and "Heavy rain falls on Youyan, white waves reach the sky." Growing up in an inland city, I often pictured the sea in my mind, imagining its vastness and immensity. Later, I settled in Kunming, an inland plateau city. Fortunately, Kunming has its own "sea." Haiyan Village, a name filled with auspicious meaning. In the evening, I sit by the window of the village bookstore. Seagulls circle low, and the color of the sea changes from light gray to azure, carrying shimmering specks of gold as it stretches towards the boundless horizon. In my heart, there is a profound sense of peace and boundless freedom. My eyes are captivated, my body relaxed, and the fatigue accumulated throughout the day seems to drift away with the tide. At this moment, you will understand: even if you have seen a thousand descriptions of the sea's beauty, you can still find your own unique thousand and first encounter by the sea. Haiyan Village

It’s super fun! 6. Laoyuhe Wetland Park The red metasequoias and flocks of seagulls make you feel like you have entered a fairy tale world.

Tips: ·It is recommended to wear white clothes, it will look great when taking photos! ·Seagulls like to eat bread crumbs and gull food, but remember not to overfeed them.

Coming out of Laoyuhe Wetland Park, walk south for about 2 kilometers to reach Haiyan Village. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the village, and there are cars seen inside, probably owned by the villagers. Follow the road until you reach a cemetery and you’ll enter the village on the right. There are also many Trip Moments shops on the roadside in the village, where you can wear local costumes and take photos. There are also many small stalls selling flowers, which cost 8 yuan a bunch and can be bought for taking photos. At sunset, the price will be 6 yuan a bunch, but you probably won’t be able to catch up in time to take photos of the sunset with flowers. There are many restaurants and cafes near Dianchi Lake, any of them will do. We were attracted by the dog in this restaurant, so we sat in this restaurant for afternoon tea. We ordered a set meal of tea around the fire, chicken nuggets and mantis shrimp, which cost a total of 216 yuan and was enough for us to sit there for the whole afternoon. I also bought a bag of bread from them to feed the seagulls, 9.9 yuan/bag. The clerk even helped to call the seagulls over [Sob] and it was so enjoyable to feed them. A seagull actually came and took the bread from my hand! Took the picture of life! We basked in the sun, then slowly ate and drank while waiting for the sunset. The sun set at about 18:19 that day, but we arranged for the driver to pick us up at 18:00. We still saw a beautiful sunset. The penultimate picture showed that many people would feed seagulls and take pictures on the dam. I took pictures of a couple and flying seagulls. It felt great!

📍Haiyan Bookstore There are many beautiful cafes in Haiyan Village now. This one is near the pier and easy to find. There are too many people on weekends, so it is recommended to avoid weekends. The light is best for taking photos after 5 pm.

Walking here, you can feel the warmth and comfort of nature, which makes your heart feel refreshed. This park is beautiful, like a small oasis in the city. You can enjoy the comfortable natural scenery while smelling the scent of flowers under the shade of the trees. However, construction is underway in many places in the really old earthen houses, so it feels a bit messy. The streets are also quite crowded, and the weather is not good, so it is a shame to enjoy the sunset. However, if you walk through the alleys, there are many quiet places, so enjoy it calmly.

This unassuming little village 🏡 actually holds an irresistible charm. Imagine, did the people who once lived here immerse themselves in the splendid dusk 🌅 every day?

This is my third visit to Kunming, and my first time to Haiyan Village, and I am amazed! Haiyan Village is a village around Dian Lake, and it hasn't been developed for long. It's important to note that the subway doesn't go directly there; you need to take a car for a bit. When returning, it can be hard to hail a cab to the subway station because drivers often don't want to take short trips. There isn't a strong commercial atmosphere here, and many parts of the village are still under planning and construction. The environment is quite primitive, but that doesn't stop us from finding a beautiful coffee shop to 'relax' in! You can watch the sunset, take beautiful photos, laugh out loud with friends, or just sit quietly. You can also pet the little dogs that the neighboring guests bring along. We let down our guard and temporarily forget the trivialities of life. The meaning of travel seems to become tangible at this moment. When I see the sunlight shining through the clouds onto Dian Lake, I feel energized, and I feel the beauty of the world surrounding me. I am reminded of the saying, 'When the Tyndall effect occurs, light takes on a shape; when you appear, palpitations are defined.'
