🏯 The cultural pulse of Spring City is racing! The ancient charm and modern trends of Kunming Old Street collide perfectly!
✨ A classic top spot! A 900-year-old living fossil meets the aroma of coffee!
📍 Address: West side of Zhengyi Road, Wuhua District, Kunming
🚌 Transportation tip: 5-minute walk from Exit C of Wuyi Road Station on Metro Line 3. It's more enjoyable to explore by shared bike~
1️⃣ Jingxing Street
Kunming’s version of Tianzifang! Weathered old walls paired with artsy shops, and around the corner, a coffee shop transformed from a century-old pharmacy☕
📸 Tips: Take photos of the lantern wall during the blue hour at dusk for stunning shots!
2️⃣ Qianwang Street
Late Qing Dynasty mansions clustered together! Check in at the Majia Courtyard Siheyuan Theater, with immersive drama performances on Friday nights
🍜 Food surprise: The broken crisp buns at the nameless small eatery are a must-try! Sold out by 3 PM
3️⃣ Wenming Street
Intangible cultural heritage experience base! Make your own black copper silver inlay (half-hour quick experience class requires reservation)
🎁 Souvenir guide: Jia Hua’s freshly baked flower cakes are 30% cheaper than at the airport store
💥 Must-know tips to avoid pitfalls:
- Choose the morning for Miao ethnic portrait photography; photographers gather in the afternoon
- Behind Zhengyi Fang Shopping Center’s alley hides the locals’ favorite tofu pudding rice noodles
- Always bargain at all silver jewelry shops! Cutting the price in half is the basic move
