The Secret Garden Under the Stars
In the distant East, there is a mysterious attraction called Yu Garden. It lies quietly in the river of history, like a painting depicted in a classical poem, waiting for a fated visitor. The name Yu Garden itself carries an ancient charm, as if it can transport people through time back to that elegant era.
Upon entering Yu Garden, the first thing that catches the eye is a lush bamboo forest. The bamboo sways gently with the wind, whispering softly as if telling stories of a thousand years. Among the bamboo, a winding path leads visitors deeper into the garden. Every step taken is imprinted with the marks of time, and every step is filled with poetry.
Following the path, one soon arrives at the center of Yu Garden—a quaint courtyard. In the courtyard, a pool of emerald water mirrors the blue sky, white clouds, and surrounding scenery, as if it is a perfect blend of nature and human art. By the pool, several ancient willows droop, their branches gently brushing the water's surface, creating ripples like the waves of time, gently undulating.
In one corner of the courtyard, there is a delicate pavilion named 'Listening Wind Pavilion.' The pavilion's structure is unique, open on all sides, allowing visitors to rest and listen to the sounds of the wind, water, and birds, feeling the harmony and tranquility of nature. The pavilion's pillars are engraved with exquisite verses, each word a gem, inviting people to stop and read, feeling the emotions and wisdom of the ancients.
Yu Garden not only boasts natural beauty but also cultural charm. Scattered throughout the garden are many stone carvings and inscriptions, recording the history and legends of Yu Garden. Each stone tablet is like a silent storyteller, narrating the past's glory and vicissitudes to the world. As visitors stroll through the garden, it feels like walking through a corridor of history, with each step in rhythm with the stories.
At sunset, Yu Garden takes on a different flavor. The golden sunlight spills onto the water, shimmering, and the entire garden is bathed in a warm glow. Visitors sit or stand, quietly enjoying the peace and beauty, their hearts filled with awe for nature and history.
Yu Garden is not just an attraction; it is like a wordless poem, a flowing painting, a melodious tune. Here, time seems to stand still. People can set aside worldly troubles, converse with nature, communicate with history, and find inner peace and romance. Whether it is the whispers of lovers or the laughter of friends, Yu Garden provides a perfect stage for every visitor, allowing everyone to find their own stories and memories here.

Not France, but Kunming's Monet Garden live is stunningly beautiful
🌷I have always wanted to see the spring flowers in the Spring City, and this time I finally made it!
Yuyuan has its own Monet Garden for the people of Kunming, which is even more beautiful than those abroad!
Recently, the colorful roses have bloomed, looking as if a palette has been overturned, the live pictures are truly breathtaking!
.
🏛Large swaths of roses, paired with the red brick architecture inside Yuyuan, are full of European Roman charm
You must take photos in front of the buildings using them as a background, or take pictures on the small paths among the flowers
Taking pictures from a high angle or obliquely can better avoid the crowd, you can stand on the stones in the flower beds to get a higher angle for shooting, avoiding the crowd. My cover photo was taken standing on a stone
You must include the blue sky and white clouds! To show the beauty of Yunnan
·
📷Recently, there are a lot of people, but if you frame your shot from my angle, you can capture an empty scene
No tickets are required, nor do you need to make a reservation in advance
The visiting time is about 2 hours, there is no need to stay all day, and it is very close to the city center
Friends traveling during the May Day holiday must not miss it!

What to do if you can't feed seagulls at Haigeng Dam? Look here!
The first stop in Kunming was Yuyuan. Yuyuan is located in the south garden of Daguan Tower in the western suburbs of Kunming. It is the private garden of Yu Enxi, the first person in Yunnan to make cigarettes (once served as the mayor of Kunming). Yu Enxi is the grandfather of the well-known singer Yu Chengqing.
Yuyuan is the south garden of Daguan Park in Kunming. It is currently free of charge. The garden is full of flowers in spring, which must be very beautiful. However, I went there during the Spring Festival and there were no flowers.
Even during the Spring Festival holiday, there are not many people in Daguan Park, which is very comfortable. We also saw squirrels climbing trees. The ecological environment is very good. The little guy is as fat as the squirrels by the West Lake in Hangzhou. Here comes the point! If you keep walking inside Daguan Park, you will see a lot of seagulls by the water. There are not many people, much less than Haigeng Dam. The experience is better.
