A detailed 2-day itinerary for Kunming, a lazy person's dream.

Kunming is a must-see❗ Don't just treat it as a stopover! Siberian seagulls, Dounan Flower Market (the largest flower market in Asia)💐, Zhuanxin Farmers' Market with its strong local flavor, no one can resist🙅🏻‍♀️ 🏠Accommodation: Near the high-speed railway station DAY: Haigeng Dam→Haigeng Park→Haihong Wetland Park→Dounan Flower Market→Laoyuhe Wetland Park ✅Leave at 9:00 am and take a bus to Haigeng Dam to feed the seagulls. There are so many seagulls here and they are not afraid of people at all. Take photos📸 as you walk to Haigeng Park, which takes about ten minutes. There are no railings in Haigeng Park, so you can get close to the seagulls. Then walk to Haihong Wetland Park, where the red cedar trees are beautiful! ✅At 14:00, ride a bike from Haihong Wetland Park to the subway station and go to Dounan Flower Market. It is the largest flower market in Asia🌏, with many beautiful flowers. It is a paradise for girls, and no one leaves empty-handed! ✅At 16:00, take a bus from the flower market to Laoyuhe Wetland Park to watch the sunset. Arrive at around 17:00, which is just the right time. You must go here to watch the sunset🌇, which is beyond words! DAY: Haigeng Dam→Zhuanxin Farmers' Market→Duiyue Building→Abnormal Coffee→Huanggong East Street→Green Lake Park→Yunnan Military Academy ✅Leave at 6:40 am and go to Haigeng Dam to watch the sunrise🌅. I love seagulls so much that I came to feed them again. Then take a bus and transfer to the subway to Zhuanxin Farmers' Market. I highly recommend the farmers' market, where there are many fruits and vegetables🎃 that I have never seen before. The roasted eggplant🍆 and preserved egg are delicious. If you can't eat spicy food, ask for less chili. ✅At 11:00 am, ride a bike from the farmers' market to Duiyue Building. After taking photos of the landmark building, walk to Abnormal Coffee and have a cup of coffee to rest. Then walk to Huanggong East Street (in the alley, only suitable for taking photos). Walk from Huanggong East Street to Green Lake Park (which is average). The Yunnan Military Academy is right outside the park. The yellow building looks great in the sun☀️! 🚅15:40 Take a train home 🧡Tips 1. The temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so bring a thick coat. 2. Wear sunscreen!!! Thank you for reading. See you next time👋🏻

The hotel is in a great location! You can see Dianchi Houhai from the rooftop, so you can feel the sea view even in Kunming! Especially in the evening! The sunset is beautiful, and every corner of the hotel is beautiful. The room is large, without too much dark black, everything is warm, just lying on the outdoor recliner can release fatigue, breathing the fresh air from Dianchi Lake, the breeze blowing, looking at the green and blue mountains, makes people feel happy, close your eyes and listen to nature, empty your mind to feel nature, everything is far away, whether it is the hustle and bustle of the city or the pressure of life, this is the hotel I imagined for a vacation. As one of the few courtyard-style wild luxury resort hotels in Kunming, the main style of the hotel is still based on the modern style of wabi-sabi and exclusive IP art style, making the whole space full of vitality and creativity. The unique design of furniture and decorations create a comfortable and high-end living experience.

Each room has a different design style, comfortable and cozy, with large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow you to see the stream, different scenery in the morning and evening, soft lighting, and every corner is a great background for photos.

Wow! I found an amazing Yunnan rice noodle restaurant.

Wow! I found an amazing Yunnan rice noodle restaurant.

While visiting Haigeng Dam with friends, we stumbled upon a bustling rice noodle restaurant🥢. The lively atmosphere instantly whet our appetites, so we decided to give it a try👅. The restaurant was packed, but the service was excellent👍. The staff were always on hand and always had a friendly smile on their faces😃. The restaurant has two floors and is quite spacious. I highly recommend going to the second floor, the view is simply stunning🌳! You can enjoy delicious food while admiring the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake, which is great value for money😜. We ordered a set meal for two🍱, which was very generous. The soup base for their rice noodles is made from a whole chicken and is freshly made every day, never served from one meal to the next. No wonder the soup is so fresh and the rice noodles are so chewy and smooth, it's delicious😋. There are also some authentic Yunnan snacks, such as potato tofu and tiger skin chicken feet, which are all very tasty🥔. I really think this restaurant is a must-visit for foodies in Kunming😃. 🏡Restaurant: Nanhu Chun Yunnan Traditional Rice Noodles 📍Address: 5, 1/F, Building WT-2, Sunshine Bund, Yinghai Road, Dianchi Resort Area

Leju Village: A Hot Spot in Kunming

Leju Village: A Hot Spot in Kunming

🍞 Kunming Outskirts Tour | A 600-Year-Old Village's Earthen Oven Bakery, A Bite of Spring 🌿 Escape the hustle and bustle of the city this weekend, and I discovered a hidden gem on the outskirts of Kunming—Leju Village in Tuantuan Township, Xishan District! This Yi ethnic village🏡, with over 600 years of history, not only boasts bluestone-paved roads and "One-Seal" old houses🛖, but also a popular online bakery called "Jiuxi Handmade Bread," whose earthen oven-baked bread🥯 aroma simply captivated me! 🚗 Transportation Tips 📍Navigation: Leju Village, Tuantuan Subdistrict, Xishan District, Kunming 🚙 Approximately a 40-min drive from the city center. Road conditions are good, and there is a parking lot at the village entrance (free!). ⚠️ The bakery is closed every Tuesday! Don't go there in vain~ It's crowded on weekends! Expect long wait times. 🍞 Jiuxi Bread | Earthen Oven-Baked "Taste of the Ancient Village" The aroma of firewood mixed with the fragrance of wheat fills the air! The owner is a "bread artisan" who insists on using mountain spring water and traditional earthen oven baking methods. Even the kiln was built by himself! The bread has a crispy crust and a moist, soft interior. One bite is like tasting the essence of sunshine and time~ Must-try recommendations👇 ✅ Sichuan Peppercorn Leaf Pineapple Bun: Yunnan's unique Sichuan peppercorn leaves are kneaded into the dough, creating a slightly numbing and fragrant sensation! ✅ Seasonal Impatiens Balsamina Bread: Spring limited! The fragrance of wildflowers blooms on your taste buds~ ✅ Jiuxi Yuanbao: A popular item during the Spring Festival, these golden buns symbolize good luck (available daily!). 📸 Village Stroll | More Than Just a Bakery! Old House Photography: Over 80 "One-Seal" Yi ancient buildings dot the hillside. Bluestone-paved roads complement white walls and black tiles, making every shot a picture of tranquility! Spring Market: Elderly women set up stalls at the village entrance selling wild vegetables, Toona sinensis, Impatiens Balsamina… all the "tastes of spring"! Coffee☕️ & Homestays🏫: Take a break at the village cafe, or choose a homestay converted from a "One-Seal" old house to watch the sunset and listen to the rain. So healing~ 💡 Travel Tips 1. Avoid peak hours: Weekends are crowded, especially in the afternoon. It is recommended to arrive before 10:00 am for a wider selection of bread! 2. Combined itinerary: Visit the Ethnic Culture Exhibition Hall (over 300 Yi artifacts) and hike in the Baoziqing Forest🏕️ for a fulfilling day trip. 3. Souvenirs: Take home some Sichuan peppercorn chicken🐓, Tuantuan apples🍎, or jam/coffee beans from the bakery to share the ancient village's flavors with friends~ "Jiuxi Bread" is more than just a bakery; it's a journey of time and craftsmanship. Here, every bite of bread holds the breath of the 600-year-old village, and every breeze carries the poetry of spring. Tag your foodie friends and become a "Wild Bread Hero" for a day!✨

Cuihu Hotel: A Timeless Romance

Cuihu Hotel: A Timeless Romance

When you visit Kunming, you must stay near Cuihu Lake. Kunming Zhongwei Cuihu Hotel is located in the southeast corner of Cuihu Lake. It opened in 1956 and is the first five-star hotel in Kunming. After three renovations and upgrades, it has stood quietly by Cuihu Lake for nearly 70 years. The hotel's architectural style combines Chinese and Western cultural characteristics, with an elegant and atmospheric appearance. The hotel is fully equipped, with 306 deluxe rooms and suites to meet the needs of all guests. The 24-hour English-style butler service allows every guest to enjoy attentive and thoughtful service. In terms of dining, there is a banquet hall that can accommodate 250 people and 6 luxurious small banquet rooms, offering a variety of delicious food. This is not only an excellent choice for accommodation, but also a window to experience Kunming's urban culture. Standing in front of the window of your room, you can overlook Cuihu Lake. The sunset shines on the lake, sparkling, full of romance and comfort. You may not visit again, but it is worth experiencing.

Cuihu Park | Slow down your life!!!

Cuihu Park | Slow down your life!!!

| Slow down your life!!! Walking hurriedly from the noisy and complex city and the rigid workplace, as soon as you step into Cuihu, you will immediately feel relaxed both physically and mentally. Stress dissipates from life, and troubles and grievances are diluted a bit by the mundane concerns of daily life. Unconsciously, people's pace slows down, and they even stop to sit on the stone benches, looking at the surrounding scenery. 😌 Cuihu is the root of Kunming!!! 💚 The facilities in the park are as follows: 1. Guanyu Tower: A Qing Dynasty Chinese-style building, with pavilions and towers built along the lake for the pleasure of watching fish, it is a good place for leisure. 🐟 2. Lianhua Zen Temple: This is a temple that was rebuilt in the tenth year of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1884), and later converted into a stage by Long Yun, a place to experience traditional Chinese culture. 🎭 3. Haixin Pavilion: In the thirty-first year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1692), Wang Jiwen, the governor of Yunnan, built the 'Biyi Pavilion' on the island in the heart of Cuihu Lake, which we now call 'Haixin Pavilion'. 💖 4. Lotus and Willow Area: In summer, sitting on the dike covered with willows, quietly watching the splendid lotus flowers and lush lotus leaves, people often say: 'A world of fish in ten acres of lotus, half the city of willows and Buddhist towers.' You can also see a few Jacaranda trees by the lake, which is truly an unexpected delight. 🌿🌸
