Address: No. 284, Daguan Road, Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province To implement the 'Several Opinions on Further Strengthening Urban Planning and Construction Management Work' issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, which call for 'enhancing the function of green spaces to serve the daily activities of residents, so that citizens can see and be close to green spaces near their homes. Urban parks should be open to residents free of charge in principle,' the Kunming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have arranged and deployed reforms to the institutional system of 7 municipal parks. These reforms include integrating park operating expenses into the fiscal public budget expenditures, completely changing the 'self-sustaining' management model of parks, and promoting the return of parks to their public welfare nature. Starting from October 1, 2022, Daguan Park, Yu Garden, Jindian Scenic Area, Black Dragon Pool Park, Xihua Park, Tanhua Temple Park, and Suburban Park, the 7 municipal parks in Kunming, will be open to the public free of charge. Just like that, Daguan Park has become free of charge. I had been here on a business trip in 2018 when there was still an entrance fee, and I applaud the government's action. In recent years, feeding seagulls in winter has become an internet sensation. Daguan Park is located on the shores of Dianchi Lake, kilometers away, where there are also many seagulls. 🌈The photos were all taken between 9:30 and 10:30 in the morning, which is the best time for effects and when there are fewer people.

Spring is the season when flowers bloom in profusion, and the imagery of spring is naturally vibrant and colorful. Among them, there is a refreshing shade of purple that does not compete with the multitude of flowers, yet possesses a unique charm. It is the wisteria. The most beautiful time is April in the human world. Strolling through Daguan Park, with the spring warmth and bright scenery, a tree of light purple 'mist and clouds' comes into view, adding a touch of gentleness to the spring light before your eyes. Wisteria has a wonderful quality of both strength and grace: the vines are robust, the branches are slender and graceful, clusters and bunches, smiling and growing freely in the spring. It exudes an innate softness and elegance, three parts beauty, three parts poetry, three parts artistic conception, and one part perfect harmony of blooming at will, even the air is filled with a sweet fragrance, intoxicating those who breathe it in. It's the varying shades of purple, seemingly in motion, laughing, and ceaselessly growing. This is a kind of emotion stirred by spring, coming from deep within the heart. It is like spring itself, omnipresent, silently nurturing, healing us, inspiring us, as if something good is about to happen at any moment. The initial flourish of wisteria signifies a future full of hope.

The Yu Garden, built in 1927 and also known as 'Yu Zhuang,' is located on the south side of Kunming's Daguan Park, also referred to as 'Daguan South Park.' It was the private garden of Yu Enxi, the mayor of Kunming during the Republic of China era, and its arch bridges, lotus ponds, rockeries, and surrounding dikes create a charm comparable to the gardens of the Jiangnan region, hence it is also known by the elegant name 'Zhenhu Jingshe'. Wandering through the garden, with its winding bridges and arches, small pavilions and vine trellises, and the presence of Western-style buildings like the Jinhou Tower, one does not feel any abruptness but only marvels at the beauty of the architecture that blends Chinese and Western styles. With the spring breeze caressing one's face and the fragrance of flowers in the air, a splendid feast of roses is being held in the Rose Garden of Yu Garden.

Watching seagulls at Daguan Park is a wonderful experience. Seagulls not only dance on the lake, but also fly to the glazed tiles on the rockeries and pavilions, and the Han white jade railings on the buildings to rest. They bathe in the sun, showing the charm of nature. The seagulls skimming over the water is a major attraction of Daguan Park.
