I really enjoyed coming here with my mom and husband. We were able to see the animals up close while still feeling safe, which was amazing! I was a bit disappointed with the panda area, as it wasn't as engaging as I had hoped, but overall it was still a wonderful experience. I wouldn’t mind coming back again next time. Highly recommended!

I was on a business trip to Kunming and had a short half-day break. I took a quick tour of the Yunnan Provincial Museum and felt the historical changes in Yunnan that were different from those in the Central Plains. After closing, I went to the nearby Guandu Ancient Town to eat tofu rice noodles and snacks. Then I rode a shared electric bike to the Haidong Wetland for a walk to digest the food. I encountered a stunning sunset and sunset glow. It was a perfect half-day.
The best place to get to know a local is through a museum. Yunbo Museum is right next to Guandu Ancient Town. We went in the morning and it was quite crowded. Our tour guide said it was even more crowded in the afternoon, probably because many people visit Yunbo Museum before heading to Guandu Ancient Town.

Nighttime tickets are cheaper, but wait times are shorter than during the day, allowing for a wider range of attractions, and the Torch Festival is also lively. The park's design reflects strong ethnic characteristics and cultural heritage. Objectively speaking, annual passes are relatively inexpensive, and for families traveling with children, you can rent very affordable B&Bs (over 1,000 yuan per month, or under 100 yuan per day), perfect for both study and leisure activities. However, the planned location fails to fully leverage the unique character of Dianchi Lake. Due to its locational constraints, its food, living facilities, and transportation are inferior to those of the main urban area. For example, the local economy (Jinning District) may be problematic. The road between the main urban area and the park is unlit early in the evening, and the road is uneven in some areas.
Adults can bring their children to play, and both adults and children will have a lot of fun. It is impossible to play here in one day. The food inside is relatively expensive, so it is best to bring some food with you. Some areas may be slightly cheaper, but generally it is more expensive than outside. Don't buy raincoats outside, as the water activities inside are all free. When I left, I took a picture of the beautiful sunset, which was very photogenic. It's a pity that I didn't get to play many activities with my baby, but the older children didn't want to leave after having so much fun.

Cuihu Park is located in the main city of Kunming. The park has beautiful scenery, lush vegetation and shaded trees. In winter, you can see groups of seagulls flying freely in the sky. This is a scene of the park. Of course, the surrounding traffic is also very convenient. Accommodation and eating are also more convenient, you must come to visit Cuihu Park.
Cuihu Park is located in the main city of Kunming. The scenery is very beautiful. The air quality in the park is excellent. It is suitable for traveling for family and children. You can take your children to visit on weekends. The surrounding accommodation is also very cost-effective. The transportation for eating is also very convenient. It is one of the parks that must go to Kunming to punch in. Make sure you don't regret coming.

The old city zoo has its own advantages, convenient transportation, beautiful scenery, and the must-see animals are the jackals, the ibex king, the green peacock, and other star animals. There are also some renovations, such as the upper sightseeing corridor in the beast area combined with the lower window, so that you can see the animals better. It is recommended that some wire mesh can be renovated so that you can better take pictures of the animals. Overall, it is a zoo worth visiting.
The park is quite large, suitable for baby strolling/couples/good friends to go out and play slowly for a long time! Recommended play route: Main Gate (South Gate) directly look at the gibbon hall - Maacock Mountain - Tropical Monkey Hall - Giraffe 🦒 - Red Panda - Yanyang - Herbivorous Animal Zone - Brown Bear - Bengal Tiger - Lion - Elephant Hall - Peacock Hall - Water Poultry Pool - Out of the park 📍 Tickets for adults 20 yuan children / students 10 yuan greening is very good, Compared with other equivalent zoos, this is really worth the price. It is a good place for vacation!

Dianchi Lake Scenic Area/ Sunac World | 9.7 km from downtown

1. Location
Convenient transportation, easy to get to from the city center by taxi. When leaving, take the bus from the Xishan Park to the subway station.
2. Scenery
The weather was a bit overcast when I visited, and I think a sunny day would have been even more beautiful. However, the sheer size of Dianchi Lake was still quite breathtaking. The cable car ride was quite long, and while the views were indeed more comprehensive, it was mostly just the lake and mountains. It was a great experience with friends.
3. Value
For your first time in Yunnan, taking the cable car is a great value. After arriving at Xishan, you can climb the mountain to Longmen and then descend again, and that's pretty much it. The overall experience was excellent.
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

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!
Kunming Xiaoren National Park is located in the black village of Biji Town, Xishan District, Kunming City. It is an important attraction in the world butterfly ecological park. There are more than 100 pocket people who are no more than one meter tall. They form a "Xiaoren National Art Troupe" and perform daily for tourists. The park has many fairy tale-filled attractions such as the Royal Butterfly Garden, Mushroom Village and the National Capital, as well as cliff swings and mountain ropes. Whether it is watching butterfly specimens, experiencing fairy tale scenes, or feeling exciting amusement facilities, tourists can reap a unique experience. It is a theme park suitable for the whole family to travel, full of joy and childishness.

It is worth going. The plants are quite rich. If you like plants, I strongly recommend buying the ticket for the Fuli Palace. The Fuli Palace is the most satisfying and unforgettable place for children in Kunming. At the entrance of Baicao Garden, I also witnessed a scene of a bumblebee fighting a bee.
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.

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!

Baozi, today I must share with you the treasure wetland park I found when I lived in Kunming. It is a national 3A-level tourist attraction. In the many wetland parks I walked around Dianchi Lake, it is the only scenic spot named "national". It is like a pearl hidden next to the city, exudes a unique charm. Every time you walk into it, it seems to step into a dreamy natural kingdom, which makes people intoxicated. The vast area of the fish river wetland park covers more than 700 hectares, and the vast earth is like a green picture. As soon as you enter the park, the dense vegetation comes to your face, and the trees are shaded, as if a huge green umbrella propped up a cool world. On a hot day, as long as you walk in here, the heat dissipates instantly, leaving only a full of peace and comfort. The happiest thing in the park is the children, who play like a group of happy little angels on the beach. The fine sand slipped between their fingers, leaving a string of silver bells laughing, and they were still fishing excitedly by the pond, the focus of a great adventure. But to remind parents, the water here is not very clean, for the health of the children, try not to let them play in the water. In addition to children, this is also a holy place for girls to film. Every corner is like a carefully arranged canvas, and any shot can be beautiful to a new height. The best place to take pictures of the fish river wetland is a row of small beaches along the water of Dianchi Lake. At first glance, it may not have the sensation of a stunning look, but when you pick up the camera and point the lens at it, a picture full of Southeast Asian style will be presented. The Fish River Wetland Park is like a magical place, with beautiful scenery given by nature and a happy atmosphere for parents and children to play. Here, you can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature. Treasures, come to the Yuhe Wetland Park and start your beautiful journey! I believe it will leave you with an unforgettable memory.
This park is free, next to Dianchi Lake, the scenery is very unique. There are many ancient trees that grow by the water, and it is very popular to stand in it to take pictures. There are also flower shows here, and the activities are very rich. Many parents take their children to fish here, which is very interesting. There are also many couples who come here for a walk, comfortable. There is also a food snack street. There are many people and it is very lively. There is an observation deck, you can overlook Dianchi Lake and Haitang Village, and you can watch the sunset in the evening. It is highly recommended to come here to play.
