Today's dose of romance is brought to you by the sunset at Laoyu River

Stay at Dilianya Hotel and encounter the fairy-tale greenery of Laoyu River🌿 Hey friends👋, when staying at Dilianya Hotel in Kunming, you absolutely can't miss the nearby Laoyu River Wetland Park - it's like a hidden gem by Dianchi Lake! Whether you drive or take a taxi from the hotel, it's super convenient🚗 📍 Address: West side of the intersection of East Ring Road and Qixing Road, Chenggong District, Kunming. Just navigate to "Laoyu River Wetland Park" for easy arrival. 🚗 Transportation Guide: • Self-drive: About 40 minutes from downtown, enjoying Kunming's cityscape and Dianchi's stunning lake views along the way. The park has convenient parking with reasonable fees. • Public transport: Take Metro Line 1/2 to "South University Town" station, then transfer to Bus 265 to "Laoyu River Park" station. Though requiring transfers, you'll experience local life and Kunming's street scenes. 🌟 Must-visit Highlights: • Mysterious Water Forest: Venture deep into the park to discover amazing water forests. Towering Taxodium trees rooted in water create magical light patterns as sunshine filters through. Rent a glass boat for a leisurely paddle - it's like entering a Miyazaki-inspired dream forest with 100% photo-perfect moments. Go early as rentals may stop after 4pm. • Seasonal Flower Spectacle: In early spring, 1.8 million tulips bloom in red, yellow and purple oceans; summer brings 60,000 hydrangeas and 80,000 dahlias; autumn covers fields with golden rapeseed and romantic cosmos flowers; winter features red and green Taxodium trees resembling oil paintings. • Dianchi Sunset Glow: Walk along wooden boardwalks to lakeside beaches for breathtaking sunsets when the sky and lake turn orange-red with sparkling ripples. • Adorable Wildlife Encounters: This animal paradise hosts moorhens, openbill storks, egrets year-round. Lucky visitors might see them feeding or playing. About 2,000 newly hatched wild ducks and kingfishers arrive annually. 🍔 Nearby Delicacies: • Guandu Baba: Crispy pastry with soft fillings like rose bean paste or sesame sugar - sweet but not cloying. • Fried Potatoes: Yunnan specialty snack - crispy outside, tender inside with spicy seasoning, perfect for snacking while exploring. 🎈 Travel Tips: • Free entry (bring ID card). • Strong UV protection needed - sunscreen, sunglasses and hats essential. • Bring small fishing nets and buckets for fish-catching fun (tools available at entrance). • The vast park requires comfortable shoes; bicycles are available for rent. Dilianya Hotel guests, don't hesitate! Come to Laoyu River Wetland Park for a healing nature escape💕!
