    I was still having fun teasing the birds and deer when a giraffe suddenly stretched its head out so enthusiastically that I fell on my backside. It probably thought my green shoulder-strap mascot was its food, not because it liked me that much. I was such a coward.

    The 3-hour explanation was excellent, the timing was just right, and it wasn't tiring at all even with elderly people. I'm very grateful to Mr. Xiong Lin, the teacher who gave us the explanation; it was truly wonderful!

    Nighttime tickets are cheaper, but wait times are shorter than during the day, allowing for a wider range of attractions, and the Torch Festival is also lively. The park's design reflects strong ethnic characteristics and cultural heritage. Objectively speaking, annual passes are relatively inexpensive, and for families traveling with children, you can rent very affordable B&Bs (over 1,000 yuan per month, or under 100 yuan per day), perfect for both study and leisure activities. However, the planned location fails to fully leverage the unique character of Dianchi Lake. Due to its locational constraints, its food, living facilities, and transportation are inferior to those of the main urban area. For example, the local economy (Jinning District) may be problematic. The road between the main urban area and the park is unlit early in the evening, and the road is uneven in some areas.

    I've also been to Cuihu Park. Most of it feels like any other city park, though there are some traditional Chinese-style buildings, such as the Guanyu Tower. The reflections of the blue sky and white clouds in the pond create a beautiful scene. If you're not in a rush to shop, you can spend half a day here enjoying a cup of tea. It's quite relaxing. Of course, there are also some young women snapping photos to enhance the scenery. There are many ancient ginkgo trees in the park, and it's hard to imagine how beautiful they must be when their leaves are golden.

    The old zoo in the city center, on Yuantong Mountain, houses not only animals but also cultural relics, especially historical buildings from the Republican and revolutionary periods. It's well worth a visit. The zoo's specialties include the Yunnan and Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys, which are in good condition. It's a shame the panda enclosure is there, but the pandas are gone. Figure 3 shows Green Lake.

    1. Location Convenient transportation, easy to get to from the city center by taxi. When leaving, take the bus from the Xishan Park to the subway station. 2. Scenery The weather was a bit overcast when I visited, and I think a sunny day would have been even more beautiful. However, the sheer size of Dianchi Lake was still quite breathtaking. The cable car ride was quite long, and while the views were indeed more comprehensive, it was mostly just the lake and mountains. It was a great experience with friends. 3. Value For your first time in Yunnan, taking the cable car is a great value. After arriving at Xishan, you can climb the mountain to Longmen and then descend again, and that's pretty much it. The overall experience was excellent.

    Kunming Botanical Garden has East and West Gardens, each with its own distinct plant area. There's also the Plum Garden, the Rhododendron Garden, and more. In autumn, the Maple Avenue is ablaze with color, with red maples and yellow apricots creating a vibrant tapestry of hues. The garden is a captivating spectacle of autumnal beauty.

    We took a long cable car ride and then a bus up the mountain. The old man got carsick on the way up. The snow was not heavy enough on the second day of the first lunar month, so we got off the bus and took a cable car up to see the snow.

    If you bring your kids, this is a place where you can have fun for a whole day. Even if your kids don't like mermaids, are a little afraid of flying over Yunnan, and have little interest in beluga whale shows and dolphin shows, they will like capybara, carousel, rafting, jellyfish balloons, etc. When they are tired of shopping, let them play with ocean balls, dig sand, etc. After dinner, you will get a baby who is exhausted and falls asleep peacefully.
