Kunming Whale Island is Unbelievably Beautiful

Exploring Around Kunming Dilianya Hotel | Encounter the Magical Whale Island✨ Hey friends👫, staying at Dilianya Hotel in Kunming was such a smart choice! There are so many amazing places nearby, and today I'm sharing my travel experiences with you😎. 📍【Mile Temple Park】 Whether you drive or take public transport from Dilianya Hotel, it's super convenient🚗. Mile Temple Park is truly a hidden gem of Kunming. In autumn, the maple trees here look like nature spilled its paint palette🎨, with vibrant red leaves that are absolutely mesmerizing💕. Walking along the maple leaf path, the rustling sound underfoot feels like autumn whispering its tales. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating beautiful light spots—perfect for photos📷. The glass rooms and courtyards add an artistic vibe, making every shot look like a masterpiece👒. 📍【Green Lake Park】 A must-visit destination that's picturesque all year round. In winter, it becomes a paradise for seagulls—buy some bird feed and enjoy close interactions with these adorable creatures. With willows swaying by the lake, sparkling waters, and charming pavilions, strolling here and snapping photos will make you feel the laid-back charm of Kunming. 📍【Yunnan Military Academy】 Just a short walk from Green Lake Park, this historic military academy blends Chinese and Western architectural styles. Its red walls and yellow tiles evoke a sense of solemnity, transporting you back to a passionate era of history. 📍【Daguan Pavilion】 Located on the northern shore of Dianchi Lake and facing the Western Hills, Daguan Pavilion is one of China's four great historical pavilions. Inside, you'll find the "Stele Inscription of Daguan Pavilion Reconstruction" and the "Longest Couplet in the World." The scenic area features beautiful gardens and multiple peninsulas, offering stunning views at every step. 📍【Kunming World Horticultural Expo Garden】 Situated near the Golden Temple Scenic Area in northeastern Kunming, not far from Dilianya Hotel, this garden is the only fully preserved site of the 1999 World Horticultural Expo. Covering 2.18 square kilometers with 76.7% vegetation coverage🌿, it feels like walking through a giant natural oxygen bar. The garden showcases horticultural displays, architectural styles, and technological achievements from across China and 95 countries, embodying the theme of "Man and Nature, Harmonious Development." 🐳【Kunming Whale Island】 Here’s the highlight—Kunming Whale Island is unbelievably beautiful! Located in Haigeng Village, Kunyang Subdistrict, Jinning District, it’s a bit far from Dilianya Hotel but absolutely worth the trip💕. This natural island spans about 600 square meters and resembles a whale, adding a unique green touch to Dianchi Lake. Stepping onto the island feels like entering a fairy tale, surrounded by crystal-clear waters, rolling hills, and blue skies—every photo turns out stunning. Nearby Haigeng Village is equally charming, with 260 old houses transformed into traditional white-walled, blue-tiled homestays infused with fishing culture, creating a distinctive rural tourism space.
