Come to Kunming for a healing trip! This city not only has warm sunshine, but also many niche and photogenic check-in spots, what surprised me most is Kunming Truffle Scenic Area, it's simply a gift from nature~
🌟Kunming 2-Day Itinerary Recommendation:
DAY 1:
Morning: First head to 📍Dianchi Haigeng Dam to see seagulls (winter exclusive), Afternoon: Go to 📍Kunming Truffle Scenic Area, where numerous wild mushrooms and truffles are hidden, and you can also experience the fun of picking them yourself (remember to wear comfortable shoes!) Evening: Check into 📍Vienna International Hotel (Kunming South Railway Station Municipal Government Branch), the location is superb, very close to the high-speed rail station!
DAY 2:
Morning: Head straight to 📍Stone Forest Scenic Area (ticket 130 RMB), take amazing photos while traversing the unique karst landscape, Noon: Try the local Steam Pot Chicken, Afternoon: Go to 📍Dounan Flower Market (Asia's largest flower market), you can buy a large bunch of fresh flowers for just 5 RMB, Evening: You can buy some Yunnan specialties to take home~
🍄Small tips about Kunming Truffle Scenic Area:
1. The best time is September-October after the rainy season, when truffle production is highest.
2. It's recommended to find a local guide; they know best where to find high-quality truffles.
3. Remember to wear non-slip shoes, as mountain roads can be muddy after rain.
4. Freshly picked truffles can be processed and tasted on-site, maximum freshness!
🏨Accommodation Recommendation:
I highly recommend the 📍Vienna International Hotel (Kunming South Railway Station Municipal Government Branch) where I stayed this time, the rooms are clean and spacious, the front desk service is super enthusiastic, and most importantly, it's very close to the high-speed rail station, making it super convenient for catching trains! You can also enjoy a discounted price if you book in advance~
🍜Must-Try Foods:
✅Crossing-the-Bridge Noodles: Recommended at Qiaoxiangyuan, the broth is incredibly delicious.
✅Steam Pot Chicken: Yunhaiyao's signature dish.
✅Wild Mushroom Hotpot: A must-try if you come during the rainy season.
✅Flower Pastry: Jia Hua's freshly baked flower pastries are the most authentic.
