The old alley beside Green Lake, look up and the Ferris wheel crashes into the bustling street life

Fairy tale hits in Kunming’s old alleys✨ From Green Lake Liruid Hotel to Beicangpo, perfect for photos!

Strolling out from Liruid Hotel by Green Lake 🚶‍♀️, in 10 minutes you’re deep in the old alleys of Beicangpo—what a magical spot where “street life meets amusement park” 🥹

Yellow walls covered in ivy 🧱, balconies of residential buildings drying blue shirts, and when you look up, you’re directly hit by the colorful Ferris wheel! Blue, red, yellow, and green cabins spin under the blue sky and white clouds 🎡, every shot you take captures the contrast of “everyday life mixed with fairy tale sweetness,” making anyone who photographs here a master of atmosphere 📸

The old alley’s steps hide surprises: succulent pots at the corner 🌵, wildly growing green bamboo clusters, even the power lines twist into soft folds of daily life, and the Ferris wheel seems to “emerge” right from the alley. Every step reveals a different angle of the colorful cabins, so sweet you want to spin around~

Walking from Liruid is just right to burn off the afternoon tea’s sweetness 🍰, best to come around three or four o’clock! The sunlight warms the Ferris wheel, old residents stroll slowly by, and even the breeze carries Kunming’s relaxed vibe ☁️
