Kunming hides 14 free hidden gems!

Who knows them! After wandering around Kunming for half a month, the most stunning spots are all free! I've compiled 14 private treasures with precise locations, highly recommending them to everyone!

The Ancient Dian Boutique Wetland Park is perfect for sunset photos, with the water shimmering like scattered diamonds; the blue of Sanjia Village Reservoir makes the reeds look gentle; feeding red-billed gulls at Green Lake is a limited-time romantic experience, super healing in winter; Niulian Small Fishing Village shows the slow life of old Kunming, with white walls and black tiles perfect for photos.

Don’t just watch the sunset at Haiyan Village; when the old street lamps light up at dusk, the atmosphere is amazing; the water at Bailongtan Park is crystal clear, very cool in summer; Zhibu Stone is great for hiking, every snapshot looks like a mountain wilderness masterpiece; Laoyu River and Haihong Wetland Park allow camping, making for a super comfortable weekend lying around.

There’s also Xiangpi Bookstore, quietly tucked in an alley, and Xihuayuan Park where flowers bloom all year round. You don’t have to spend a penny to fully enjoy the beauty of Kunming at these places!
