Laoyu River Wetland Park Survival Guide: How to Fail Perfectly!

Dress as a local [Grin]

"Attention, tourists! You have entered the park that looks least like a park in Kunming - Laoyu River Wetland Park. The grass here is wilder than in urban villages, there are more flowers than in internet-famous coffee shops, seagulls eat more than they poop, and the wind is stronger than your imagination. The key is that it's free! Free! Free! (Important things should be said three times)"

📷 Wild photography
1️⃣Holding the various flowers I bought in Dounan, I stand on tiptoe and look around
2️⃣ Wear a wreath on your head and sit on the wooden plank road
3️⃣ Take crazy selfies in the direction where the seagulls are flying
Ps Many places near the water are backlit in the afternoon, so you need to walk more, otherwise you will become a yin-yang face or a big black face, and your girlfriend will definitely kick you away. Yes, the wind is very strong, yes, very strong, and occasionally it will rain on sunny days, so prepare your clothes to keep warm ~ and bring things like hats that are easily blown away ~
P.S. Be careful if you can't hold it tight, there will be a surprise randomly.

🚗Transportation Reference
You can get there via Line 1/4. Anyway, you still need to take a taxi for another five or six kilometers. There are occasional traffic controls and parking lots for self-driving cars, but there are few spots and you have to look for them, which doesn't save time. I recommend taking a taxi first.

🍲Eat and drink these
Although there is an amusement center, it doesn't feel like a regular scenic spot. When you enter the door, you will see snack stalls commonly seen in other places and traditional playgrounds that use ring fishing to coax children. The signboards are messy. Fortunately, it is not far away, so just follow the crowd. I personally don't recommend eating here. It's OK to bring some with you. Be careful not to litter and protect the environment.

⚠️People on the Internet say that sunsets are beautiful and easy to photograph. In fact, an ordinary mobile phone cannot capture those filter effects in backlight. Be careful to distinguish the information on the Internet. Moreover, the weather near the water is changeable, and there are only about ten minutes before and after the sunset, so you have to hurry up and shoot! Just find a place and press it mindlessly. If a black face doesn't work, just make it a silhouette. Hahaha
