Here, the classic attractions of the entire Yunnan ethnic minority are integrated together. Tourists who do not have enough time to play all the classics can go to the Yunnan Ethnic Village to experience it and understand the customs and practices of the Yunnan ethnic minorities. It is worth visiting.
The weather in Kunming is really great. It doesn't feel hot at all. The scenery in the scenic area is very beautiful. It's very photogenic. There are not many people. The experience is very good. It is next to Dianchi Lake and can be arranged in one day.

The guide sister was very enthusiastic, patiently explained to the children, picked up on time, and drove very steadily. During the entire hiking process, she helped take care of the elderly and children. The route she led was very beautiful, with waterfalls and wilderness kitchens. Everyone had a great time
Overall, it's worth a visit. The circulation is well-designed, and you don't have to go back and forth. The downside is that the fees for various interactive activities are quite high. For 30 yuan to feed a raccoon, you only get a few pieces of ham, barely enough to cover the bottom of the cup. There aren't many different animals, but they're all in decent condition.

The guide has a very rich knowledge reserve. After listening for more than two hours, I feel that I have gained a lot. It is not boring to listen to. It is very interesting and takes the audience's feelings into consideration! ! Thank you for the explanation, it is very interesting! Everyone, don't be late, it will make the companions feel a little uncomfortable! The overall experience is very, very satisfactory! !
Thank you very much to the tour guide, Ade! I didn't do any homework before the trip, but he told me the story along the timeline, which opened the mysterious veil of Yunnan for me. His explanation was profound and very appealing. I appreciated the bronze treasures, political culture, and Buddhist heritage of the Provincial Museum. The last part of the explanation of the Republic of China period in Yunnan expanded the historical information of this period, especially the Battle of Songshan, which deeply touched me and brought me to tears. I was in awe of the martyrs of the expeditionary army! I returned with a full load!

I played for a whole day and had a very good experience. The weather was not hot, there were not many people, the queue was fast, the food inside was not expensive and tasted very good, I will come again in the future
First of all, the weather was very good, with the highest temperature less than 30 degrees, which was not hot; secondly, there were not many people, and the queues were quickly cleared, and we basically played all the games we wanted to play; in addition, the food was not very expensive and tasted very good, and we could also experience the Torch Festival at night.

Cuihu Park is known for its emerald waters on all sides, verdant bamboos year-round, and verdant willows in spring and summer, earning it the name "Cuihu."
In 1919, Tang Jiyao constructed a long east-west causeway, named "Tang Causeway." The two embankments intersect at the central island, dividing the lake into four sections. Cuihu Park includes attractions such as Shuiyue Pavilion, Haixin Pavilion, Jiulong Pond, Guanyu Tower, Lianhua Zen Temple, Southwest Island, and Bamboo Forest Island. Its distinctive landscape features a scene of "a world of ten acres of lotus and fish, and half a city of willows and Buddhist pavilions."
Cuihu Park's two famous willow embankments intersect in a cross shape, dividing the lake into four sections. The north-south horizontal causeway is called "Ruan Causeway," and the east-west longitudinal causeway is called "Tang Causeway." The intersection of the two causes forms a small island in the center of the lake, with the Central Pavilion as the main axis, forming the central tourist area.
On November 12, 1985, hundreds of seagulls suddenly descended upon Green Lake, surprising visitors. Some threw snacks to the birds, and they scrambled for the food. A few days later, the flock swelled to several thousand, and even more people gathered around the lake. Vendors began selling food, and gull watchers, vying for it, tossed it into the air, drawing the birds to the feast, much to their delight. Since then, every October to April, tens of thousands of seagulls have flown from the north across thousands of mountains and rivers to Kunming for the winter, becoming a major spectacle and attracting countless tourists for birdwatching.
In Kunming, after breakfast, walk along Cuihu Park for a bend 😄 located in the west of Wuhua Mountain in Kunming City, known as "the city of Sino-American jade". The lake area is about 21 hectares, and it is famous for the scenery of "ten acres of lotus fish world, half a city willow terrace". The Yuan Dynasty was Caihaizi, the early Ming Dynasty was Dianchi Lake Bay, and the Qing Dynasty built Lotus Temple. It is now an open park, surrounded by historical buildings such as the Army Lecture Hall and Yunnan University. Winter red-billed scorpions, forming a "people and fun" spectacle, is one of Kunming's iconic attractions, known as the "Spring City Club Living Room". Free open all year round.

I had planned to go to the wildlife park, but it rained, so I decided to go here on the spur of the moment. I didn't expect it to be completely beyond my expectations. It's right in the city, making it very convenient to get around. In addition to pandas, there are all kinds of animals in the scenic area, and you can interact with animals in some areas. My kids love it, and it's super cost-effective.
It's an older zoo. The monkey park is right after the main entrance. The facilities are old and there are few animal interaction areas. The price is OK. You can't interact with giraffes and elephants, but you can interact with camels. You can buy grass and interact with other animals such as alpacas and capybaras in another place. Overall, it's not bad.

The whole park is quite large, and you can learn about the houses, architecture, clothing and living habits of various ethnic groups. It's just that renting a car is a bit expensive, so it would be more cost-effective to walk around by yourself
This is a great place to relax. Flowers are in full bloom, trees are shady, and you can see the Dianchi Lake up close and the Xishan Mountain in the distance. It is a beautiful sight. Standing by the lake, holding bird food, watching seagulls flying around chasing food, it is exciting and stimulating! You can deeply experience the organic integration of nature and birds, and the harmonious coexistence of birds and humans!

The main purpose is to see the azalea exhibition, which is dominated by red, white, purple and pink azaleas. There are not many other varieties. A kind of azalea called Yangchunxue is the most beautiful! There are many other flowers. When you enter the north gate, you can see a bunch of poppies, which are also very bright. There are peonies in Baicao Garden, but not many flowers bloom. There are also foreign peonies. It is worth a visit to see the spring flowers and green trees, which is very pleasant and relaxing.
Fuli Palace is a good place for popularizing plant science. You must make an appointment there. There will be professionals explaining the whole process, which takes about an hour and a half, and you will gain a rich botany course.

The children's favorite place is Lilliput. Except for the traffic jam when entering, everything else is great. There are various check-ins, tasks, and gifts that can be exchanged. The NPCs are very friendly!

If you bring your kids, this is a place where you can have fun for a whole day. Even if your kids don't like mermaids, are a little afraid of flying over Yunnan, and have little interest in beluga whale shows and dolphin shows, they will like capybara, carousel, rafting, jellyfish balloons, etc. When they are tired of shopping, let them play with ocean balls, dig sand, etc. After dinner, you will get a baby who is exhausted and falls asleep peacefully.
It's a good place to bring children. The service staff also asked about the height of the children very considerately. If they are less than 1.1 meters tall, they can enter the park for free. They also reminded me that I can refund the parent-child ticket and buy an adult ticket separately. Recently, Flying Over Yunnan is under maintenance, so it's a pity that it can't be completed. As soon as you come in, you must go straight to the Jellyfish Express on the second floor. There are a little more people in the queue. We came in the off-season, so the queue is faster. Remember, as soon as you enter the door, you must check the schedule of the day's performances and make time arrangements. We just didn't see it well, so we entered at 11 o'clock in the morning and waited until four o'clock to see the dolphin and seal performances, but my Jin and Mermaid performances were really good. There are some regulations for free children's facilities in the park that require 1.1 meters to do tree house climbing, which is not open. It is recommended to check the time arrangements before coming. It is very worthwhile to come again and I will come to play next time I travel!
