For this moment, I’m willing to come to Kunming 100,000 more times!!!

Don’t just go to Dianchi Lake when you come to Kunming! This "Spring City" hides so many surprises. Here’s a super chill way to enjoy it that I recently discovered～ 🌸

💐【Kunming Must-Visit TOP List】💐
1️⃣ Dounan Flower Market
Asia’s largest fresh flower market is no joke! Who understands the joy of 20 roses for 5 yuan? I recommend going in the evening—fresh, cheap, and you can witness the spectacular "flower night auction" (direct access via Metro Line 4).

2️⃣ Xishan Forest Park
Taking the open-air cable car to overlook the entire Dianchi Lake is breathtaking! The Longmen Grottoes on the mountain have a strong sense of history. Remember to wear non-slip shoes (electric shuttle cars available at the park entrance).

3️⃣ Cuihu Park
The citywalk hotspot loved by locals. In winter, watching the Siberian red-billed gulls is amazing! The surrounding cultural alleys have many artsy shops (recommend "Wenlin BBQ" for grilled beef).

4️⃣ Yunnan Provincial Museum
A must-see for ancient Dian Kingdom bronze ware! The museum’s treasure, the "Ox-Tiger Bronze Table," is stunning (the new museum is in Guandu District, closed on Mondays, remember to book in advance).

5️⃣ Jinma Biji Archway
Kunming’s landmark night view is breathtaking, and nearby are many old-time favorites: Jianxinyuan Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles, Jiahua Fresh Flower Cake freshly baked shop...

✨【3-Day Highlight Itinerary】✨
DAY 1: Dianchi Haigeng Dam (feed the seagulls) → Xishan Forest Park → Tea Horse Flower Street (snacks)
DAY 2: Yunnan Provincial Museum → Guandu Ancient Town (must-try intangible cultural heritage baba) → Dounan Flower Market
DAY 3: Cuihu Park citywalk (Army Lecture Hall + Southwest Associated University site) → Jinma Biji Archway night view

🍜【Foodie Guide】🍜
✔️ Shangzuo Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles (1903 Park Branch): a full-on ritualistic "cross-bridge" experience
✔️ Hongdouyuan (Wenlin Street): 20-year-old shop, bitter herb crisp and red bean are amazing
✔️ Yuanxi Road: students’ favorite, grilled pig’s trotters + Paoluda are forever classics

📌【Practical Tips】
🔸 Kunming has a big temperature difference between day and night, layering clothes like an onion is safest
🔸 Airport Metro Line 6 goes directly to downtown, much cheaper than a taxi
🔸 Buy flowers on the last day at Dounan, you can have them shipped home~
