🟥Starting Point: Shuncheng Shopping Center
A giant "I'm in Kunming 2.0" countdown screen
+Eight Scenic Spots of Kunming + "Cuihu" Film Festival = a city landmark at its best!

🏛Jiangwu Hall
Red windows and yellow walls, a grueling history: experience a different side of the city.

📖Xianshengpo
Once a gathering place for students preparing for exams, it's now transformed into a cultural and artistic cafe street, blending old and new with a unique charm.

🥖Tianjundian Lane
A quiet alley connecting Cuihu Lake and Wenhua Lane, home to authentic Kunming snacks and arty shops, making it a great place to experience local life.

🏫Yunnan University Donglu Campus (reservations required!)
A must-see at Kunming's academic center! The campus is filled with a cultural atmosphere. ⚠️ Remember to make reservations in advance at Ping An Yunda, or you won't be able to enter.

🌳 Cuihu Lake
The waters of Cuihu Lake tell half of Kunming's history. With its breathtaking scenery in all seasons, it's a prime spot for Kunming residents to enjoy a leisurely stroll.

🧎🏻➡️ Yuantong Temple & Yuantong Mountain
Yuantong Temple is one of Kunming's oldest temples, renowned for its vibrant incense and magnificent architecture, and elegant pavilions. Yuantong Mountain, nestled behind it, is home to one of Kunming's eight scenic spots, "Spiral Peaks and Greenery." Its winding, snail-like peaks and lush greenery create a breathtaking scenery. I personally recommend Yuantong Temple for its rich history, exquisite architecture, and tranquil, Zen-like atmosphere.

☕️ Xunjin Street
Kunming's wealthy city

🗼 East-West Temple Pagoda (Changle Temple Pagoda)
These thousand-year-old pagodas bear witness to Kunming's historical transformation. From historical monuments to the bustling city life, Kunming's charm lies in the details.

🏯 Jinri Building
Experience the historical richness of Kunming's "South City Gate," a historic landmark.

⛩ Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Archway
This is undoubtedly the most iconic photo-op. Visit at sunset for the perfect light and shadow, perfect for stunning photos.

🍲 Finishing Touch: Shuncheng Shopping Center
