If there were a model for the romance of spring in a city, it would definitely be Kunming in May. Here, spring never leaves the stage 🌿 . Come to Kunming for flower viewing during the May Day holiday! 📣 Limited-time flower viewing guide, please check ✉️ . 💙 Jacaranda 📍 Mainly distributed in ✔️ Jiaochang Middle Road ✔️ Chuncheng Road ✔️ Panlong River... The flowering period is in full swing. . 🤍 Ottelia acuminata 📍 Fengzeyuan Botanical Garden, a beautiful Monet in the water, the flowering period lasts from now until September~ . 🩷 Chinese rose 📍 Yuyuan, there are many varieties, a real-life Monet garden, May Day is the best viewing period . 💜 Lavender 📍 Dianchi Greenway Lavender Manor Station (Tingyi), a super-large purple sea of flowers is in full bloom . 💐 In Kunming, flowers are never just scenery, but a way of life. This time, I stayed at 🏨 Kunming Shangri-La JEN Hotel and was honored to be invited to participate in the secret flower viewing night at SUMA Bar! . 🏺 The Yi brocade is transformed into a wavy ceiling + ethnic totems. What is amazing is that the moment I walked into "Mi Jing", I seemed to fall into Yi mythology! SUMA means "azalea" and "female spirit" in the Yi language~ . 🪭 On the night of SUMA, I tasted the romance of Yunnan! The menu is a rotating Yi-style folding fan, and the four flavor systems "spicy, fruity, JI fresh, and bitter" correspond to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas of Yunnan! . 🍹 "Give me a glass of wine that tells a story" So I got the "Nan Pie Mule" ——The magical marriage of Dai’s spicy dipping sauce and Moscow Mule. The burning sensation of ghost peppers becomes gentle in vodka. When the ginger ale bursts, it is like pink bubbles popping in the rainforest of Xishuangbanna. It turns out that this glass is a love story of spices and wine~ . 🔥 I held my wine and went to the rooftop bar to enjoy the enthusiastic Yi song and dance, and interacted with strangers around the bonfire, which almost made me drunk in the 20°C spring breeze~ . 💜 It was almost midnight when I walked out of SUMA. The jacaranda on Jiaochang Middle Road was rustling purple rain in the evening breeze. I reached out and caught a complete flower... This city can always brew the soul of flowers into life!

【Have a Cocktail Made with Wild Yunnan Mushrooms · Kunming Shangri-La SUMA Bar Opens】 On April 30, as Shangri-La's new masterpiece in the Chinese market, Kunming Shangri-La officially opened SUMA, a bar inspired by the destination's characteristics, kicking off the full opening of the hotel at the end of 2025. SUMA is jointly created by the Shangri-La Group and the well-known bar manager SG Group, deeply integrating local culture, handicrafts, and human connections to create a unique destination experience. SUMA is the first concept bar launched by the Shangri-La Group's dual-brand project after the opening of Kunming JEN Hotel in 2024, injecting new vitality into the city's pulse. Through the harmonious resonance of exquisite enjoyment and cultural narrative, it reawakens the social life scene of the neighborhood. The bar brand "SUMA" is taken from the Yi language, meaning "azalea" and "woman," which is a tribute to the local ethnic minority culture in Yunnan. The bar's inspiration comes from Yunnan's rich biodiversity, local food culture, and folk traditions. The carefully crafted space design, the richly layered cultural narrative, and the expressive flavor presentation open up a new perspective for guests to explore Yunnan. The SUMA space design experience begins with a corridor that integrates the cultural totems of ethnic minorities in Yunnan. The traditional patterns of the Yi, Bai, Naxi, Lisu, Jingpo, and Hani ethnic groups are intertwined here, creating a gorgeous and textured space. The interior of the bar features a tent-style ceiling made of traditional Yunnan fabrics, and the central chandelier is inspired by Yunnan lanterns. Passing through the corridor, you will enter "SUMA Secret Realm," a delicate space inspired by alpine mountains and traditional weaving techniques. The SUMA rooftop bar is seamlessly connected to the Shangri-La rooftop garden, presenting an open garden landscape with intertwined flowers and vines, interspersed with herbs, and a central fountain flowing quietly, creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere in harmony with nature. SUMA cleverly integrates these elements into the cocktail experience. For example, the innovative "Yak Butter Classic" is inspired by the popular butter tea in the Shangri-La (Diqing) area. This cocktail blends malt whiskey with SG Group's MUGI shochu, butter, Pu'er tea, and natural orange blossom honey to present a silky, smoky, slightly spicy, earthy, and grainy spirit. The "Magic Manhattan" pays tribute to Yunnan's reputation as the "Kingdom of Wild Mushrooms," using Templeton rye whiskey as a base, paired with locally picked matsutake and termite mushrooms, supplemented with orange liqueur-flavored vermouth and green walnuts, to create a rich, umami-filled cocktail. Tan Jie, General Manager of Kunming Shangri-La, said: "SUMA is the prelude to the hotel's opening, allowing guests to experience the unique experience here in advance. We hope to redefine the role of the hotel through SUMA - to become a window to the local culture, bringing a truly touching impression of Yunnan, and allowing guests from all over the world to deeply experience the charm of Yunnan." In order to allow guests to better explore the diverse flavors of Yunnan, SUMA ingeniously designed the menu as a rotatable folding fan, with different fan surfaces representing different flavors: spicy, floral and fruity, extremely fresh, and bitter. This creative "flavor guide" breaks the tradition of classifying by type or concentration of alcohol, allowing guests to no longer be limited by the choice of alcohol, but to follow the taste they desire to start their exploration journey. Chen Huaiqian, China Director of SG Group's consulting department, said, "SUMA is a gift we dedicate to Yunnan. It continues SG Group's consistent concept of telling moving stories through flavors. In the process of deeply exploring Yunnan's food culture and life traditions, we respectfully and imaginatively re-interpret these elements, allowing ingredients, memories, and handicrafts to intertwine and collide, sparking inspiration."

【Kunming JEN Hotel Launches Magical Buffet Dinner】On December 24 and 25, the JEN Hotel Kunming's KAI TANG Café launched two themed buffet dinners: "Shining Night" and "Magical Miracle." The buffet dinner is more than just a meal. The hotel has created a dinner full of sincerity and surprises for guests from all over the world, from the perspectives of sight, hearing, taste, and entertainment. First, the "hearing" experience. The Yunnan Fumin Xiaoshuijing Miao Choir performed at the hotel, bringing heavenly music that lingered in the air for three days. The choir is composed of Miao farmers from Xiaoshuijing Village in Kunming, Yunnan, and was founded in 2002. The choir combines Western music with ethnic minority culture to form its own unique singing style. Dressed in ethnic costumes, they can sing four-part world famous songs and perform Yunnan folk songs full of Chinese charm, showcasing their profound artistic skills and unique cultural charm. In terms of sight, the yellowfin tuna opening ceremony is a feast full of ritual and visual shock. At the ceremony, the chefs were agile, and with a few swift cuts, a huge yellowfin tuna was instantly sliced into pieces of fresh fish. The fish is bright red in color and has a clear texture. As the fish opening show ended, the fresh tuna was quickly served to the table, paired with a special sauce, and was delicious. At the fish opening ceremony, the chef first removed the fins and head, and then began to dissect the tuna. The whole process was clean and neat, like a butcher cutting up a cow, smooth and flowing. During the dissection process, the chef used sharp knives to precisely dissect the tuna and break it down into different parts. The fish was perfectly separated from the bones, showing its rich and fresh flavor. The chef explained the fat content and taste of different parts of the tuna, which was both pleasing to the taste buds and informative. In addition, the chef also distributed garlic cheese baked lobster to diners on site, opened ham and cut roast turkey on site, and the sense of ritual was full. In terms of taste, the dinner brought together a variety of delicacies from around the world, including Chinese dishes, Western dishes, desserts, fruits, salads, stews, barbecues, special drinks, pastries, and more than a dozen categories and hundreds of varieties. The chefs used a variety of cooking techniques, such as steaming, boiling, stewing, frying, pan-frying, deep-frying, baking, braising, mixing, stewing, and roasting, making the dinner not only a journey of taste, but also a global food science lesson. The interactive session was full of fun. Themed decorations, live band performances, lively clown interactions, and children's DIY cupcake making added a touch of color to the dinner.
