I highly recommend the farmers' market, where there are many fruits and vegetables🎃 that I have never seen before. The roasted eggplant🍆 and preserved egg are delicious. If you can't eat spicy food, ask for less chili. ✅At 11:00 am, ride a bike from the farmers' market to Duiyue Building. After taking photos of the landmark building, walk to Abnormal Coffee and have a cup of coffee to rest. Then walk to Huanggong East Street (in the alley, only suitable for taking photos).

The first stop on the Yunnan-Tibet route, a single tank of gas got us to Kunming, Yunnan for fun. Originally planning to visit the Haigeng Dam, a friend recommended this free little park instead~ Upon entering the wetland, you're greeted by dense forests, a natural oxygen bar without a doubt. The air is incredibly fresh, breathing is easy, and the trees all grow straight up🌳🌳🌳 Walking among them feels like stepping into an alternate dimension~ The trees by the water also have a particularly artistic shape, with old and twisted trunks, each growing with its own character💃 Girls wearing red dresses for photo ops will definitely stand out. You can also take a boat ride through the little forest, with an atmosphere that perfectly sets the fairy-tale mood🧚‍♀️ making you feel like a sprite in the woods🧝‍ There are mushrooms🍄 around to pick and play with, but don't eat them, be careful not to see the 'little people'~~~ All in all, I feel that the Laoyuhe Wetland is a very special presence by the Dianchi Lake, a very conscientious free attraction, and it feels great~ PS: There is a small path to the south that leads on foot to 【Haiyan Village】, where you can stroll through the quaint fishing village's blue brick streets, chat with the locals, and at the end, you'll see the famous 【Internet Celebrity Beach】, an excellent spot to watch the sunset! Half-day tour route recommendation in Kunming: 【Laoyuhe Wetland Park】→【Liu Lanxiang's Yunnan Flavor Kitchen】→【Haiyan Village】→【Internet Celebrity Beach】, highly recommend this route!

For transportation, follow the instructions on Gaode Maps, take a taxi or subway to a nearby station and then transfer to a bus/taxi. Otherwise you can only drive yourself. It takes about 40 minutes by taxi from Cuihu Lake in the city center, and the cost is about $6. The weather was hot, and although I never use an umbrella, I spent about 10 minutes with it when I walked to some observation decks after walking for about 2 hours. It's okay if you take a walk among the mangroves. 🤪It took me almost 3 hours to walk around the whole park before I found the boating area. Fortunately, she said that it would continue to operate if there were customers. The service center would close if there was not enough time, and there were no signs near the parking lot. It turned out to be near the 2nd parking lot and the children's playground. It's not the main southeast gate. I walked to the parking lot and turned back. When I turned back, I saw a piece of paper with instructions for boarding the boat. I walked that way again and just kept going forward. Admission is $50. Maybe they saw that I was a girl, so they took turns to persuade me to pay them $50 more so that I could take photos. I didn't understand why at first, but it turns out that they were taking the photos together on the boat. Because I responded first and said I could sit alone, I felt awkward having a staff member following me. This kind of boat can also handle it. As a result, I was a little shaky and hesitant when getting off the boat, so I let him accompany me. . . I got used to it and realized that the boat was just a little shaky when I got off the boat, and the water was only knee-deep. . . Oh 😂😂😂 just think of it as buying a bodyguard to sit with you. During the process, I communicated with him that he didn't have to row, but could stop to feel the atmosphere and the sunset, and just treat it as safe companionship. He didn't have to do anything. I did want to row, so how could I let him row? Hahaha. Let him have a rest. Sometimes he and I take turns rowing, sometimes we stop, and sometimes he just helps me take a picture. Just like that, I chatted with him, and after some time he said it was okay that he was there, haha. ☆Remember, when you look at the Amap, you should go towards the water forest, not the direction below the service center. Also the boarding/disembarking point on the map is wrong. I walked there again near the windmill, and there was no entrance at all. #Mainland customs clearance #Girls running away #Kunming #Kunming good places #Kunming, Yunnan #Wetland Park #Laoyu River Wetland Park #Youth Hostel #Girls solo travel #Hong Kong girls #Good places for outings #Dianchi Lake #ootd #Mangroves #Water Forest

A Springtime Escape In spring, Laoyu River is like a palette of colors. Walk along the boardwalk and admire the 800,000 tulips blooming along the shore of Dianchi Lake, like a flowing tapestry stretching to the horizon. The scarlet "Dutch Queen" sways in the wind, the golden "Golden Oxford" reflects the sunlight, and the mysterious "Black Parrot" spreads its wings in the light purple mist. The unique moisture of the wetland leaves dewdrops on every petal, and the flower beds shaped like wooden boats are filled with bluebells, creating purple ripples in the shimmering water. Children squat in front of the science signs to identify the "Apricot Miracle" and "Pink Impression," while photographers capture the beauty of the flowers and the wings of egrets in a double exposure on the surface of Dianchi Lake. The Dutch windmill at the corner cuts time into rotating spots of light, and on the wooden viewing platform, someone sets up an easel to capture the rhythm of the sea of flowers. As dusk gilds the flower fields, the evening breeze brings the distant cries of red-billed gulls, and the entire wetland becomes Monet's water lily pond - the colors become more intense in the twilight, dancing the last waltz with the alternating light and shadow of day and night. The flowers here are not just a simple display, but a love letter from the land to the sky. Each tulip tells a fairy tale of spring at 24 degrees north latitude, and as the last ray of sunlight sinks into Dianchi Lake, it feels as if there is still a lingering fragrance in the palm of your hand.

| This sunset is breathtaking. 🌅1.3 Laoyuhe River live | This sunset is breathtaking Hey guys 👋, I went to Laoyuhe River on January 3, and I’m not exaggerating when I say that the sunset feast that day was so amazing that I can’t stop talking about it. 😍 🌄 When I stepped into Laoyuhe River Wetland Park, I felt like I had stumbled into a beautiful corner of nature. I strolled along the riverbank, feeling the gentle breeze on my face, and the water vapor enveloped me in a warm embrace. As time passed, the real surprise was just beginning. The sky began to change color, as if a top artist was painting it with wild strokes 🎨. Warm orange hues spread slowly from the western horizon, blending with the light blue sky. The gradient colors were more beautiful than any painting I had ever seen. The clouds were dyed into dreamy shapes, some like lazy sheep, others like soaring dragons. They were outlined in gold by the sunset glow, shining brightly. 🌊 The lake was the perfect stage for this sunset show. The shimmering water looked like it was sprinkled with gold dust, sparkling and dancing with the waves. The calm lake reflected everything in the sky: the orange-red sunset, the colorful clouds. It was hard to tell where the sky ended and the water began, as if the world was upside down, and I was in a dreamland. Occasionally, a water bird flew across the lake, drawing a graceful arc and adding some vitality to the scene. I stood on the shore, watching the sun sink slowly, from a blazing ball to a half-circle, and then to a faint glow. I was overwhelmed by the awe and emotion. The other visitors also stopped, taking photos with their cameras or phones, trying to capture this fleeting beauty. At that moment, there was no noise from the city, no worries from life. We were all immersed in the gentle gift from nature. 📸 I recorded the whole process with my phone’s live function, and when I watched it at home, every frame was breathtaking. It was not just a sunset, but a spiritual cleansing. If anyone asks me where to go in Kunming, I will definitely recommend Laoyuhe River first, especially the sunset. You have to see it with your own eyes and feel it with your heart. Trust me, it will be the most unforgettable highlight in your memory. ✨

In the poetic city of Kunming, Lao Yu River has always been a romantic landmark in my heart, carrying the longing of countless people for the beauty of nature. This year, with great anticipation, I once again embarked on a journey to Lao Yu River. I had long heard that Lao Yu River, with its red metasequoia and dancing seagulls, was like a fairyland on earth. I had been longing for it for a long time, and this year I finally got my wish to come here. However, reality gave me a small blow. When I was happily looking for those lively white figures, I couldn't find a single seagull. At that moment, a sense of loss surged in my heart like a tide. Coupled with the long journey from the city, the fatigue added to the sense of loss. But when the afterglow of the sunset poured down in the evening, I realized that the sunset at Lao Yu River had the magic to smooth over all regrets. The sunset scene is unique in Kunming. The red metasequoia on the shore seemed to be carefully painted with warm colors by nature. Their roots were faintly visible under the gentle waves. Every time the waves embraced the trees, they splashed crystal water, sparkling in the golden light, like a dream. However, beautiful things are always favored, and Lao Yu River is no exception. Although the shore is not short, I walked from one end of the viewing platform to the other, and everywhere I looked, there were bustling crowds. Everyone, like me, came for the stunning sunset, to leave their mark on this natural painting, and to add an unforgettable memory to their ordinary life. Although I didn't meet any seagulls this time, the sunset at Lao Yu River has already become a dazzling treasure in my memory. It made me understand that the beauty in life may be accompanied by some regrets, but it is these imperfections that make us cherish every encounter with beautiful scenery even more. If you also love nature and long to witness a soul-stirring sunset, then Lao Yu River is definitely worth a visit. Even if there are crowds, even if there may be small regrets, the shock and emotion given by nature will surely make you feel that everything is worth it.

🤪 As a seagull lover, haha, I will definitely not miss seeing seagulls when I come to Kunming! I have been to the following places: Wangguan Wetland Park (few seagulls) Haihong Wetland Park (many seagulls, but no beach) Dounan Wetland Park (suitable for watching the sunset, but I went too late to see the seagulls) Laoyuhe Wetland Park (many seagulls! There is a beach!) In my opinion, if you come to Kunming to see seagulls, I recommend Haihong Wetland Park and Laoyuhe Wetland Park the most!!! 📍Location: Laoyuhe Wetland Park (There is a paid parking lot inside. Recently, a tulip exhibition is also being held.) . ⏰Visiting time: 4:30–6:30 pm (The sunset starts at around 6:00 pm, and you will feel the shimmering light! It is a great time to take photos! You can watch the sunset after 6:30 pm!) . 🥰Travel tips: 1. Keep walking to the innermost part of the park. Don't be confused by the redwood forest! Then you will see a small beach! Keep walking, and you will see a large number of seagulls waiting for you! 2. There is a place nearby that sells seagull food, which you can buy to feed the seagulls! You can get very close to the seagulls here! The seagulls will fly to the beach to eat bread! They are so cute! 3. If you are tired of watching seagulls, you can also sit on the beach and enjoy the view quietly! (There is a dedicated camping site where you can bring camping mats and tents! You cannot set up tents in other areas, or you will be driven away! Just like me.) 4. Walk along the beach (navigate to "Beach"), and you will find a beach with a wider view. The scenery here is relatively clean! It is suitable for taking beautiful and pure photos! At the same time, there is also a large redwood forest here! It is very beautiful! (But I prefer to watch seagulls!) 5. If you are tired of watching seagulls, you can also go to the entrance of the park to row a boat! It is also a popular spot! 6. Finally, if you are traveling with children, there is also a small playground at the entrance! . ⭐️Pros and cons: Pros: 1. There are various ways to have fun. You can see tulips, go to the playground, row a boat, catch fish, watch seagulls, watch the sunset, and camp. 2. There are large beaches, mangroves, and seagulls, which are suitable for sunbathing. Cons: 1. The park is relatively small compared to Haihong Wetland Park, and there are slightly more people. 2. There are many dead trees and weeds near Dianchi Lake, so the scenery is not as clean as other parks! . 🥳In conclusion: Overall, Laoyuhe Wetland Park is the closest park to seagulls among the four parks I have visited! It is also the park with the most ways to have fun! It is especially suitable for families with children! It is also suitable for friends to travel together! If you want to experience the happiness of locals when you come to Kunming, this park is quite suitable. .

Seagulls and the sunset in the same frame are romantic and healing. This scene is so beautiful. Standing under the orange sky, this moment is the ultimate romance. Under the afterglow of the sunset, the seagulls and I are both free. . Countless Siberian seagulls arrive as scheduled. I highly recommend coming here to feed the seagulls and encounter a romance that belongs to Kunming in the afterglow of the sunset. . 📍Kunming Laoyuhe Wetland Park
