Great city to visit. Vibrant, breathable, interesting,historical and most of all relaxed. The city is reasonably large and spread out around the lake Dianchi, but the interesting part of the city center is actually rather compact and easy to navigate on foot or with one of the numerous e-bikes you can find parked almost everywhere. Aim to have your hotel somewhere between WuYi and the DongFeng Guang Chan subway stations if you want to be close to the pedestrian streets and tourist center. There are some places you will want to use the subway or taxi for, like the XiShan or the Yunnan Ethnic village, both of which I highly recommend, but Green Lake park, Yuantong temple, NanChang Jie, Kunming Lao Jie are all situated in the center and easily reached on foot. The climate in winter was super pleasant, with bright clear skies and comfortable 15-20c during the day. During the night the temperature drops considerably, but it does not seem to stop the locals from dining on the open terraces. The city actually has so many great things to see and visit, that it is basically up to you how long you wish to stay. We extended our stay twice and honestly, I would seriously consider moving to this city long term, because it does feel like it has got it all. #urbanexplorer

After taking the cablecar from Xishan mountain park over Dianchi lake we arrived near to Yunnan Ethnic Minority village park. This is a very interesting place, containing many small recreation villages of different Ethnic minorities from Yunnan province. Among them are the Dai, Yi, Miao, Achang, Naxi, Bai, Shui, Pumi, Yao, Hui, Zhuang, Mongol, Jinuo and many more minority villages. Some of these are major minority groups from Yunnan and some are more minor or represented in greater numbers in other provinces or neighbouring countries to China. It was extremely interesting to walk from village to village in this park, seeing how the cultures differ in architectural style, clothing, occupations, decoration, religion and day to day life. Some minorities live in houses that are lifted up from the floor, to avoid animals living on the forest floor, some have religious temples and some have ritual activities that you can take part in. Most of the village buildings are in a distinctive chinese style but all differ in the details. There are restaurants and food stalls throughout the park where they are serving authentic cuisine from their cultures. There are also many souvenir shops where you can buy crafts and clothing made by the locals. #asiatrip

How to get there - I took a DiDi from my hotel located near Kunming railway station and it took about 30mins. From the DiDi drop off location I walked about 5 minutes. This tourist attraction is quite nice and large. Walk around and enjoy the different villages. Throughout the day, there are different shows showcasing different villages. I strongly suggest you take a photo of the schedule when you enter the site. It is located in front of the gate. I watched two of the shows and thought they were very good and interesting. Food- There are some restaurants at the entrance. When I visited there was quite a bit of construction going on but I still had a good time! Enjoy your trip! 😊 #kunmingtravel #kunming #yunnan #solotravel #solotraveler #touristattraction #park #ThisIsChina

Yunnan Ethnic Village provided a mixed range of emotions. The people were really nice and getting there was really convenient with a phone but it’s just a replica or like a re-enactment of different ethnicities throughout all of China. I thought it was an older abandoned town where ethnic minorities use to live LOL. It’s just a replica. The natural sites were really pretty which made it worth it. You can see Xishuan Mountain in the background which was really cool. I didn’t go to the performances in the theater because they were too expensive (150-170RMB) 🤧 #yunnantravel #yunnan #kunmingtravel #kunming #ballinonabudget #naturalwonders #yunnanethnicvilliage #happynewyear

'Raosanling' is an important folk festival for the Bai people in Dali, also known as 'Guanshanglan'. It was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage in 2006. To let tourists participate in and experience the colorful ethnic customs of Yunnan, the folk festival starts with the 'Raosanling' parade. Led by elders holding willows, Bai girls and boys dressed in festive attire parade from the East Gate Archway to the Bai Ethnic Village, singing and dancing along the way, cracking whips, beating octagonal drums, and parading with dragons, creating a lively atmosphere.

In Kunming, there is a special village where you can understand and experience the culture of Yunnan's ethnic minorities in one stop. It is known as the 'Ethnic Culture Park', and that is—Yunnan Ethnic Village. The Ethnic Village is located on the banks of Dian Lake, and its most special feature is the construction and restoration of villages of 25 indigenous ethnic minorities in Yunnan at a 1:1 ratio. This allows the architectural art, song and dance costumes, cultural customs, and living habits of the ethnic minorities to come together in one scene, blooming in one village. As you stroll through, you will instantly understand the phrase 'There is a way of life called Yunnan'. In the Dai ethnic village, there are exquisite Dai bamboo houses and unique Dai costumes; in the Bai ethnic village, there are ancient Bai dwellings and the solemn Bai 'Three-Course Tea' ceremony; in the Yi ethnic village, there is the unique Yi Stone Forest landscape and the vibrant Yi song and dance performances...

On April 15th, the Yunnan Provincial Health and Rehabilitation Center organized a group of 50 people from the Tibet cadre sanatorium group in Kunming to visit the Yunnan Ethnic Village. The Yunnan Ethnic Village is located on the edge of Dianchi Lake in the southwestern suburbs of Kunming, covering an area of 89 hectares. It faces the Western Hills Forest Park, Daguan Park, and Zheng He Park across the water. It serves as a window to showcase the social and cultural customs of Yunnan's twenty-six ethnic groups. Since its opening in February 1992, the Yunnan Ethnic Village has vividly displayed the architectural art, song and dance costumes, cultural customs, religious beliefs, and living habits of various ethnic groups in Yunnan. In addition, the Ethnic Village also hosts various ethnic minority festival activities, such as the Bai people's 'March Street', the Yi people's 'Torch Festival', the Dai people's 'Water-Splashing Festival', the Jingpo people's 'Munao Zongge Festival', and the Lisu people's 'Knife Pole Festival'. The Yunnan Ethnic Village is a microcosm of Yunnan's ethnic culture. As an important part of the Kunming Dianchi National Tourist Resort, it gathers excellent cultural and natural attractions of various ethnic groups in Yunnan. It is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction and a national ethnic cultural base of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission.

Kunming, also known as the Spring City, is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province, the provincial capital, a mega-city, and the central city of the Central Yunnan City Cluster. It is one of the important central cities in the western region of China as approved by the State Council, and an important city for tourism and commerce in China. The city administers 7 districts, 3 counties, oversees 1 county-level city, and 3 autonomous counties, with a total area of 21,012.54 square kilometers and a permanent population of 8.6 million, with an urbanization rate of 81.1%. When traveling to Yunnan, you must visit the Spring City, where many city parks and the Dianchi Lake Wetland Park, along with famous attractions such as the Western Hills Dragon Gate and the Ethnic Villages, are located right next to the urban area. Spending two or three days touring the Spring City will make you feel that time is not enough, and you will have the feeling of lingering and returning.

This time, when visiting Yunnan to see the seagulls at Dianchi Lake, I made a special trip to the Yunnan Ethnic Village. The village is located in the Kunming Dianchi National Tourism and Holiday Resort, right next to the plateau pearl Dianchi Lake. After checking in with the seagulls at Dianchi Lake at 10 am, we took a taxi directly to the ethnic village, which only cost the starting fare. The ethnic village mainly condenses the cultural customs, architectural art, music and dance, religious beliefs, and living environment of twenty-five ethnic minorities including the Dai, Bai, Yi, and Naxi peoples of Yunnan. Due to its large area, it takes at least half a day to walk around and take photos.

Sincerely remind you to rent a car when you enter to play, it's too big and tiring. It took two and a half hours even by bike. You need to keep track of the performance schedule, otherwise you won't be able to watch it.
