Kunming is a city where jacaranda trees bloom in profusion. Here are some recommended places to view them:
Jiao Chang Zhong Road
Jiao Chang Zhong Road is a famous jacaranda viewing spot in Kunming, with hundreds of jacaranda trees planted along a two-kilometer stretch. The jacaranda trees here are stout and have lush branches. When they bloom, they blossom in clusters. From a distance, the flowers are lush and profuse, and up close, they are graceful and charming.
Panlong River
The jacaranda trees along the Panlong River are reflected in the river, offering a unique flavor whether viewed from afar or up close. Strolling along the river to see the flowers is also a good choice.
Cuihu Park
Jacaranda and Cuihu Park can be described as a "match made in heaven" and is one of the best places to view jacaranda in Kunming. The jacaranda trees in Cuihu Park are hidden away, and you can encounter one or two of them after walking a short distance, as if they are deliberately giving people a surprise.
Hong Jin Road, North District
Thousands of jacaranda trees on Hong Jin Road in the North District bloom along the street, making it feel like entering a "blue-purple tunnel of time and space" when driving into Hong Jin Road in the North District.
Pan Jiang West Road
Starting from Xiaohuayuan Jiangbin West Road, all the way along the river to Pan Jiang West Road in the North District, jacaranda trees are planted along the way. The riverside should be the most suitable place for walking and flower viewing in Kunming.
Baohai Park
Although the jacaranda trees in Baohai Park are not as famous as the popular jacaranda avenue, they are centrally planted on the water's edge of the park, with more than 20 jacaranda trees, which are relatively large in scale and concentrated.
Tie Pi Lane
Tie Pi Lane is located in the alley next to Xun Jin Street. The jacaranda trees here are not well-known, making it a niche spot for viewing jacaranda in Kunming.
Chun Cheng Road
The jacaranda trees on Chun Cheng Road are mainly distributed between Dong Hang Investment Building and Tai Long Hong Rui Hotel. There is a wide distance between the two rows of jacaranda trees, leaving a large space for everyone to enjoy the flowers and take pictures.
Qian Wei West Road
The Qian Wei West Road Jacaranda Avenue is 3.5 km long, with a total of 1,192 jacaranda trees and 282 cockspur coral trees planted. The jacaranda trees here are expected to enter their blooming period one after another after April, and the flowering period can last until mid-May.
Kunming Park 1903
Kunming Park 1903 is an urban fashion business district integrating culture and art, entertainment life, fashion trends, global cuisine, cultural and creative markets, parent-child entertainment, and life experience. There are not many jacaranda trees here, but they are very beautiful. With the European-style architecture and gardens, it is a good place to take pictures.
These locations are all excellent choices for viewing jacaranda in Kunming, each with its own unique charm and beautiful scenery.
