🌳 Kunming’s The Green Lake Park stole my heart with its chill vibes and epic blend of nature and culture — ducks gliding on the lake, lotus blooms everywhere, and those cool mix of ancient Chinese and fresh modern architecture. If you’re a nature-lover, this spot absolutely delivers the green fix. 🦆✨
Must-See in Kunming: The Green Lake Park
Address: No. 66, Cuihu South Road, Wuhua District, Kunming  
Hours: Apr–Nov: 6am–midnight; Dec–Mar: 6am–11pm
Whether it’s full sun or a moody rainy day, Green Lake Park is stunning year-round. Start your morning with a walk around the lakes — you’ll spot ducks, lush lotus pads, sprawling trees, and can soak in the combo of traditional and modern architecture along the way. Keep an eye open for local birds and koi swimming close to the bridges!
Hot tip: Go early morning for the best light and fewer crowds. If you’re into photography or just want to zen out, the reflections on the water and all that greenery are totally Insta-worthy. If it rains, the park gets a gentle mist that looks magical for landscape shots and quiet strolls.
Getting Around: The park is super central. Best hack: hop on Kunming’s Metro to "Cuihu" subway station, then walk 5 mins. No need for taxis!
Eat nearby: Try Yunnan specialties at local joints dotted along Cuihu South Road—rice noodles (mixian) are a must!
Extra: No ticket needed—entry’s free! Bring a refillable water bottle and snack, you’ll want to chill out longer than planned.
