I Give Full Marks to Kunming's Purple Romance

Stay at Kunming Dilianya Hotel and Encounter the Limited-Time Romance of Jiaochang Middle Road

Hey friends👋, choosing to stay at Dilianya Hotel in Kunming was such a brilliant decision! The surrounding area is packed with fun spots, and today I must share my hidden gem—Jiaochang Middle Road with you all💖!

📍【Location & Transportation】
Jiaochang Middle Road is located in Wuhua District. From Dilianya Hotel, it's about a 30-minute taxi ride, costing around 30 yuan🚖. If you want to experience the local slow life, you can also take a bus. Though it takes a bit longer, you'll get to see Kunming's urban scenery along the way, which is quite charming.

💜【Jacaranda Spectacle】
Every April to May, Jiaochang Middle Road transforms into a dreamy purple ocean🌊. Over 550 jacaranda trees bloom wildly, their tall canopies intertwining to form a long blue-purple flower corridor. Walking beneath it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. When the breeze blows, blue-purple petals flutter down like a romantic flower rain. Whether you're strolling or stopping for photos, the vibe is absolutely magical📸.

🎡【Activities】

• Sightseeing Bus: Don’t miss the double-decker sightseeing bus at 40 yuan per person. It offers an immersive flower-viewing experience, allowing you to take in the stunning jacaranda scenery on both sides of the road while petals drift around you—pure bliss.

• Explore the Creative Market: Along the street, you’ll find a lively creative market filled with jacaranda-themed sachets, ice cream, lemon tea, and handicrafts. A jacaranda sachet costs about 20 yuan—small, exquisite, and a perfect way to take this romance home. Try a jacaranda-themed lemon tea for around 15 yuan—refreshingly sweet and sour, adding a unique twist to your flower-viewing adventure.

• Photo Ops at Theme Walls: The jacaranda-themed photo walls are super popular. Strike a pose in front of them, and you’ll get Instagram-worthy shots in no time, ready to dominate your social media feed.

🍜【Food Recommendations】
After all that walking, the nearby food will satisfy your cravings. Don’t miss the Jiaochang Middle Road night market, where you can enjoy authentic Dai-style hand-tossed rice for about 25 yuan per person—a mix of meats, veggies, and specialty rice eaten with your hands, full of ethnic charm. Also try Wangji’s grilled rice cakes at 5 yuan each—crispy outside, chewy inside, with sweet or savory options. And there’s so much more: Jianshui Ximen grilled tofu, cat-shaped fried potatoes—every bite is a taste of Kunming’s local flavor.

📸【Photo Tips】
Wear light-colored outfits like white or lavender dresses to complement the jacaranda. For photos, try shooting upward to capture the jacaranda and blue sky as your backdrop, or go for low-angle shots of fallen petals on the ground—instant mood booster.
