In Yunnan, the most attractive features are the spicy Yunnan cuisine, the diverse ethnic cultures and the haunting scenery.
1. First of all, it is the urban area of ??Kunming, the city where I live.
Because Kunming is far west in longitude, people here generally get up late and are not as busy and fast-paced as coastal cities in the east.
It's best to have a bowl of hot rice noodles in a small pot in the morning to feel full.
However, Kunming, where Guoqiao rice noodles are famous, is not actually the place of origin. To eat authentic Guoqiao rice noodles, you have to go to Mengzi, Yunnan.
If you really want to eat snacks, go to the traditional city center and eat some snacks in the small shops near Nanqiang Street, such as small pot rice noodles, Changwang rice noodles, can jar rice noodles, beancurd rice noodles, rice milk, fried potatoes, ice porridge, mixed rice noodles, etc.
Cake, lotus root starch, etc. are delicious enough to make you sweat profusely.
If you come to Kunming in July and August, it is a good time to have fungus hotpot. The soup is absolutely delicious.
The soul of the city of Kunming is definitely Dianchi Lake. The southwest Dianchi Lake, where ancient Dian culture originated, is also closely connected to the main urban area by the Huanhu Highway.
Unfortunately, in the process of rapid social development, the water quality of Dianchi Lake has become so bad that it is heartbreaking. In summer, green algae will explode and the color of the water will turn dark green. In winter, it is unsatisfactory.
We sincerely hope that the water quality of Dianchi Lake will get better and better, and that the only area in South Dianchi Lake that is still clear will be preserved.
Around Dianchi Lake, the Daguanlou Couplet, known as the world's largest long couplet, can be seen in Daguanlou Park. In winter, you can play with the red-billed gulls that come to Kunming to spend the winter.
The best places for people in Kunming on weekends seem to be slowly moving from the city center to the wetland parks along the Dianchi Lake. Drive for an hour, set up a tent, bring some cold rice noodles and pastries, and relax slowly by the water and in the lake breeze.
My body has been tense for a week.
If tourists from outside the province don’t have time to slowly appreciate the beauty of Yunnan, they can also visit the Caohai Dam and Haigeng Park to see the Sleeping Beauty of the Western Mountains, come to the Yunnan Ethnic Village to see the multi-ethnic miniature landscape, or rent a car from
On Huanhu East Road on Guangfu Road, the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake and Wetland Park are always on your right. Stop at Hudong Wetland Park and South Dian Wetland at any time to enjoy the charm of Xishan and Dianchi Lake from different angles.
Walk to Jinning, and then go to Zhenghe Park to see his birthplace.
Every year on March 3rd, you must climb Xishan Mountain and touch the Longmen stone beads for good luck.
2. About Kunming’s surroundings.
There are Jiuxiang and Stone Forest to the east of Kunming. Jiuxiang Cave does not seem to have much to see. It was once the filming location of Journey to the West.
The Stone Forest Scenic Area is a wonder of nature. I have participated in the Stone Forest Yi Torch Festival, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was crowded with people. The shocking performance and lighting ceremony in the center of the playground, as well as the bullfighting performance, are all very cultural heritage features.
The northeastern part of Kunming is also slowly developing, and the Central Yunnan New District and the Airport Area are increasingly carrying modern expectations.
Further to the northeast, in the Xundian area and Dongchuan Red Land, some small towns with the characteristics of short-term visits have been developed in recent years. It is also a good choice to take your family and children to have fun on the weekends.
To the west of Kunming is the World Dinosaur Valley Lufeng, and nearby is Anning City, which is famous for its hot springs and a national civilized city. With the development of the hot spring valley area, it has also become a back garden for Kunming people to enjoy hot springs and relax. You can see Chengdu in different seasons.
It is quite pleasant to see the golden rapeseed flowers and sunflowers, ride horses, eat at the farmhouse, and brag.
The most worth visiting Jiaozi Snow Mountain in the northeast of Kunming, the scenery is also worth mentioning. I have been there twice. Even though I had a splitting headache once, I still climbed to the top of the Jiaozi Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters. If you come here in winter, if you are lucky, you can see the plateau snow mountain.
Snow, frozen waterfalls, and a sea of ??rhododendrons cover the entire meadow in spring. The small curled leaves of alpine plants are also very interesting.
The water in Tianchi beside the line of Xianxiantian is so clear that it will make people drunk. The transportation is convenient, the cable car can go up and down, and you can climb the mountain independently. It is very good.
This is the Kunming I like. Maybe a lot has been missed. I still want to use the rest of my life to feel, measure and enrich its existence.
I won’t say much more about the famous Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La in the northwest of colorful Yunnan, as well as Tengchong and Xishuangbanna in the west and south of Yunnan, the Red River, Hani Rice Terraces, Luoping Rapeseed Flowers and Jiulong Waterfall in the southeast of Yunnan.
It is an extremely beautiful existence. Go on a self-driving trip when you have time.
