Exploring the Sanqing Pavilion in Kunming🌳

Introduction to the beginning of the trip
When it comes to Kunming, most people think of Dianchi Lake and Cuihu, but this time I would like to recommend a niche attraction that is easily overlooked - Sanqing Pavilion! Located at the northernmost tip of the Xishan District Scenic Tourist Area, Sanqing Pavilion not only offers stunning natural views, but also a relaxing and relaxing atmosphere. It is definitely a good choice for friends who are tired of playing in the city center to relax and feel the slow life belonging to Kunming.

Attraction inventory recommendation
📍Sanqing Pavilion
- Address: The northernmost end of the Xishan District Scenic Tourist Area, Xishan District, Kunming, Yunnan
- Opening hours: 08:30 - 17:30

Once you enter Sanqing Pavilion, you are first surrounded by green trees, the air is obviously much fresher, and you feel even the steps are a little lighter. The antique architecture of the pavilion contrasts with the surrounding natural scenery. Especially in the morning, the sun shines into the porch, light and shadow intertwined, the overall atmosphere is very quiet, photography is really out of the film! The trail outside the pavilion extends slowly towards the mountain. Along the way, you can overlook the city of Kunming. In good weather, you can even see the Yunnan Lake in the distance. The view is very wide.

The interior design of Sanqing Pavilion is relatively concise, but because of this, it gives a sense of elegance; especially suitable for those who want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, walk slowly and see slowly. There are several lounge areas outside the pavilion. Sit down and have a cup of tea, staring at the green hills in a daze, and you can relax. There will also be calligraphy and painting exhibitions or folk activities from time to time. If you come across, you might as well pay attention and feel the local culture of Kunming.

Practical itinerary tips
1️⃣ It is recommended to start in the morning to avoid peak crowds and remember to bring a hat or umbrella, the sun in the mountains is sometimes quite fierce.
2️⃣ Wear comfortable shoes, because the trail has a little slope, walking is still quite comfortable, do not worry too much.
3️⃣ There are fewer shops around Sanqing Pavilion, remember to bring your own water or snacks. There are some mobile vendors selling tea and simple snacks outside the pavilion.
4️⃣ Although tickets are not expensive, it is recommended to check the specific ticket price and whether you need to make a reservation at trip.com in advance to save time in line.

Transportation Tips & Food Recommendations
For transportation, you can take the subway or bus from downtown Kunming to the Xishan Scenic Area, then transfer to the scenic minibus to reach the entrance of Sanqing Pavilion. If you drive by car, drive north along the west mountain. There is a designated parking lot in the scenic area, which is convenient for parking. At the end of your trip, enjoy a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles at the Yunnan snack bars around Xishan District, or taste the specialty rose cake to make the whole trip more ritualistic.
