Practical Travel Advice for You Coming to Kunming in April
🍃 To start, Kunming's Jacaranda trees are about to make a brilliant appearance again, with the blooming season lasting the entire month of April. Recommended 3 best spots: Jiaochang Middle Road, Panlong River, and Spring City Road.
🍃 Although Yunnan is a great tourist province, note: Kunming is not strictly a tourist city. The local attractions include Dian Lake, Golden Temple, Yunnan University, and the Stone Forest, but Kunming is the best transit hub with many discounted flights, making it convenient to travel to Lijiang, Xishuangbanna, Dali, Tengchong, and Shangri-La.
🍃 When in Kunming, you must visit the local markets, especially in spring when there are many seasonal vegetables, and the fruits in Kunming are really cheap. You can go to small markets often frequented by locals, such as Wuli Market.
🍃 In Kunming, a 'jin' usually refers to a kilogram, so it's really a lot cheaper than other places, even cheaper than Xishuangbanna.
🍃 No matter what, don't miss the Zhuanxin Farmers' Market, where you can find all kinds of snacks and fruits. Make sure to go there on an empty stomach.
🍃 Although Kunming is known for its spring-like weather all year round, it gets cold as soon as it rains, so even in summer, bring a thicker coat.

🍃 If you want to go to the Stone Forest, there are buses from Kunming Airport to the Stone Forest. You can go to the Stone Forest first and then return to Kunming city, or do it the other way around, going directly to the airport from the Stone Forest.
🍃 The seagulls at Dian Lake can only be seen in winter, usually from November to March. Dian Lake is crowded and the water is not very clean, so Fuxian Lake, a 2-hour drive away, is more recommended.
🍃 Green Lake Park in Kunming, you can also see seagulls in winter, and besides that, it's a rather common park.
🍃 Nanping Road is just a very commercial, ordinary, and common city pedestrian street.
🍃 If you have more time, Kunming is just a transit point. You can travel from Kunming to Xishuangbanna to Pu'er to Yuxi and back to Kunming. Or from Kunming to Dali to Lijiang to Shangri-La and back to Kunming, which is expected to take about 6 days. If you have 2/3 days, you can go to places like Jianshui, Fuxian Lake, and Mile.
🍃 It is recommended to go to Dounan Flower Market after 9 pm, when the market is at its liveliest and the prices are unimaginably low.
🍃 Do not go to the Miniature Theme Park and Journey to the West Cave!
🍃 As for accommodation, there are more guesthouses in Guandu District, so it's cheaper and also convenient for travel. Panlong District and Wuhua District have more brand hotels due to their proximity to the city center. Personal strong recommendation: Kunming Craftsman's House, it's really inconvenient and a bit old, but for 200 yuan, you get the quality of a thousand yuan stay, the value for money is really high!
Super large market, selling flowers like selling vegetables, there are many varieties of flowers, the quality is also very good, the price is cheap to the point that if you don't buy some back, it seems to lose a few hundred million! The service of the merchant is very warm, and the national express delivery is super convenient.
The flower market is great, all kinds of flowers are so beautiful, the succulents on the second floor are diverse, very amazing, I have never been to Dounan Flower Market, I can't think of the succulent development to this extent.
Flowers are three layers of the first layer sold mainly a handful of words, the second layer mainly sells succulents, and immortal flowers, the third layer sells some small things, small ornaments including bags or something. Each floor of the flower market has vases sold next to the flower market and there are many smaller flower markets, as well as packaged bouquets for express delivery.
Very healing beauty flower wholesale is really cheap, especially simple, especially love, especially healing. The first time I went to the place where I was thinking about it. Today, although I set off near the airport for two hours, I cured my mood and bought some lilies and violets. Bought roses and waited for customers. I had a very loving trip and ate food. The hot vegetable service staff in the northeast generally Sun Ji copper pot potato rice mixed with vegetables. I don't know how to count. Others are very good. A potato meal is ten yuan. A potato powder is twelve. A cup of papaya water is five yuan. It is really a good place.
听说是全国最大的鲜花交易市场,来昆明怎么能不来转转 现在有地铁直达,太方便啦,之前没开通的时候还有朋友打车100多块过来呢 进来以后就被鲜花的价格震惊到了,虽然大多是常规的玫瑰、百合、芍药等普通的花,但这里花的颜色更丰富,花骨也大,再加上价格低,超级划算,七七八八买了一堆,加上快递费,一大箱花的价格在宁波基本只能买一束,不过批发市场的花买来需要自己打理,比较费时间一点
景色优美,家人朋友很喜欢,下次还来!
