Winter in Kunming is a hazy poem
“I have come from afar, just to see you once”
When the prelude to Kunming’s winter love song plays again,
I know
a winter fairy tale spanning 6,000 kilometers is about to unfold.
🎬
The red-billed gulls flap their wings, cutting through the morning mist over Dianchi Lake.
Blue water and sky, flocks of gulls circling, chasing light and shadows.
Even the cold air seems to soften.
I want to tell you,
Dianchi Lake in winter is truly a seasonal treasure.
I hope you don’t miss it.
On this day of stay,
I also want to see
the videos I’ve watched many times before:
“There’s always a gull that will stay for you.”
🔸Recently, red-billed gulls from Siberia have stopped in Kunming, so when it’s sunny, there are really many gulls at Haigeng Dam. I took the bus to Haigeng Dam, and when I got off, a guy with a camera excitedly said: There are so many gulls.
🔸At first, I saw so many gulls, I was a bit scared and didn’t dare to touch their sharp beaks. A girl traveling from Sichuan handed me some bread 🥖 and said, just feed them like this, don’t move, hold it tight, and it will be fine. So there will always be a gull that stays for you. When the gull eats the bread from your hand, there’s a sense of excitement—I think this is the healing power of nature.
🔸Red-billed gulls are really so cute! They have all kinds of expressions, taking one spot, then another! There was even a passing gull that landed on my palm. The weather was great, between the green mountains, gulls flying by. The romance from Kunming speaks for itself. Around noon at 12 o’clock is not recommended, it’s a bit hot and the sunlight is a bit harsh.
