Meet Kunming, encounter the beauty of the Spring City

Kunming, with its eternal spring climate, is a city cherished by sunshine and the fragrance of flowers. Here, the shimmering waves of Dianchi Lake and the legend of the Sleeping Beauty of Western Hills complement each other. Taking the cable car to the top offers a panoramic view of the city’s mountains and waters, as if stepping into a painting. 【Dianchi Lake · Haigeng Dam】 The vast Dianchi Lake stretches five hundred miles before your eyes; this is Kunming’s "lung of the city." In winter, flocks of red-billed gulls dance gracefully, while in summer, the emerald waves ripple like a painting. Whether cycling, strolling, or boating, you will encounter the gentle charm of this highland lake. 【Western Hills · Lingxu Pavilion City View】 "Not climbing Western Hills is like not visiting Kunming." Take the cable car across Dianchi Lake, ascend Longmen to overlook the entire Spring City, and touch the millennium-old Taoist culture in the cliffside grottoes. The orange glow and sea of clouds at sunset are truly breathtaking. 📍 Stone Forest Wonder: A geological legend spanning hundreds of millions of years, with diverse karst landscapes. Walking through it feels like wandering in an alien secret realm. 📍 Green Lake Red-billed Gulls: A winter-only romance, dancing with the Siberian spirits that come from afar, experiencing the purest harmony between humans and nature. 📍 Dounan Flower Market: Asia’s largest fresh flower trading market, where you are instantly immersed in floral fragrance, and for just 10 yuan, you can take home the colors of an entire spring! 📍 Guandu Ancient Town: The bustling atmosphere of a thousand years of history, with the intangible cultural heritage food "Guandu Baba" that, with one bite, fills you with the warmth of old Kunming. Kunming is a city that has spring planted deep in its bones! From the aroma of crossing-the-bridge rice noodles in the morning to the golden light and shadows at Jinma Biji Square at dusk, Kunming always lets you forget time with its most leisurely rhythm. ✨ Click to save, next stop, see you in the Spring City!
