If you want to travel, Kunming is a good place. It is like spring all the year round. The most important thing is that there are many delicious foods here. You can go to Kunming to taste them. Then take a walk around and travel at a slow pace. Food
In terms of food, let's talk about snacks first. Speaking of Kunming snacks, I have to say two places, one is Daguan Zhuanxin Farmers' Market, and the other is Chamahua Street. It is said that these two are the most beautiful streets in Kunming's food industry. From the street to the end of the street, you can eat all the snacks in Kunming.
Daguanzhuan New Farmers' Market
Daguanzhuan New Farmers' Market is quite famous. It is said that it is the largest and most comprehensive farmers' market in Kunming, and it has also been called "the real old Kunming gourmet paradise" by many Kunming people, and it is a online celebrity food market.
everywhere I go, I like to visit the local market, because this is the place where I can feel the market atmosphere best. After strolling for half a day, Daguanzhuan New Farmers' Market has refreshed my understanding of the food market.
It is divided into six avenues and countless paths, which contains many Yunnan specialties, which are distributed in every corner of the food market, such as bait silk in Tengchong, pizza in mangshi, and milk fans in Dali.
The avenue is full of Kunming's special snacks, such as pea powder, sweet white wine from Tonghai and baked eggplant with Dai flavor ... If you don't know what to eat, it's right to look for the long queue.
Speaking of how there are few rice noodles in Yunnan, if it comes early, it's better to start a beautiful day with a bowl of tofu pudding rice noodles before the most popular spicy snack in the market starts to line up. Slippery rice noodles with refreshing and tender bean curd, plus secret condiments, make people unable to stop bite by bite.
Its bean bread dumplings are also a must. The inside is full of black sesame seeds, and the outside is full of soybean powder and brown sugar, which is sweet but not greasy, and it is just right with the slightly spicy bean curd rice noodles.
if you look closely, you will find that the goods in the stalls selling fruits and vegetables here are neatly arranged, revealing an aesthetic of display, which is very healing just by looking.
here, you can also see many kinds of vegetables that you can't see anywhere else. It is suggested to arrange a long time here, so you can stroll slowly.
Address: Daguanzhuan New Farmers' Market, Wuhua District, Kunming (south of Daguan Road)
Chamahua Street
Chamahua Street is located at the foot of Xishan Mountain. It sounds like a street selling flowers, but it is not. It is a street with special food characteristics. Although the whole street is not long, there are all the Yunnan cuisines you can think of, and the popularity is absolutely first-class.
Because Xishan is a good place for many Kunming people to relax and have fun on weekends, the transportation is very convenient, and the subway line 3 can go directly, so Chamahua Street is very lively on the day of rest.
Get up in the morning and climb the Western Hills. When you get down at noon, you can just go to Chamahua Street and taste various snacks. It's a pity that Chamahua Street has not been open to the public recently. Let's plant a grass here first, so we can only come and have a good meal next time.
Address: next to Xishan Park, Xishan District, Kunming (exit A of Xishan Park Station of Metro Line 3)
Yunping Flavor Garden
This is an old shop that has been open for 3 years, and it has a collection of various Kunming specialty snacks. There is also a Jianshui barbecue stall at the door, and the choices are very diverse, which has become a part of the growth and memory of many Kunming people.
It's a pity to come to Yunping Flavor Garden without trying the most distinctive series of jars. The most popular one is the famous jar stinky tofu rice noodles. Stinky tofu itself is the heart of Kunming people, and with leeks and smooth rice noodles, the original delicacy of ingredients can be preserved by learning from Jiangxi crock soup.
There are other desserts, such as fresh milk rice cloth made of fine rice pulp and fresh milk, which melts in the mouth, and the fragrant lotus root starch, which carries many childhood memories of Kunming people, is worth a try.

Li Ji Hekou Time-honored Vietnamese Xiaojuanfen
This Vietnamese Xiaojuanfen is located in Dongjiawan, surrounded by residential buildings. The reason why it is taken out alone is because it is said that this family can't eat it for more than half an hour, but there are still an endless stream of diners coming here to pay for it. Curious, we naturally have to try it.
Juan fen has three flavors, and you can buy assorted three pieces if you want to taste it all at once. What's not the same as the tortilla powder that peace often eats is that its tortilla powder skin is very thin, soft and chewy, and the taste of the stuffing is just right, and all three flavors can be given high marks.
the best thing is the secret dipping water that comes with the rolled powder. It is sour and delicious, with a little sweetness and rich taste, which is simply the finishing touch. We ate a box at the scene and then packed it and took it away. We destroyed it. It turns out that it is really worth calling a car to queue up.
Li Ji is self-help. Generally, you have to wait for one and a half hours to eat after you get the order. You can also stroll around Dongjiawan Road during this waiting period.
Many small shops around here have a hint of "retro", which is quite old-fashioned.
Address: No.76 Dongjiawan Road
Fennel Tower
If you want to taste authentic Yunnan cuisine, I would recommend you to come to this tower near Cuihu Lake, which is not far from Yunnan University. You can stop by when you come here.
The most famous one in its family is this old Kunming traditional crispy bag. The crispy bag is characterized by several layers of skin, so it tastes better than ordinary steamed buns. There are two choices of fillings, namely, sweet-mouthed cloud leg stuffing and salty-mouthed mushroom stuffing. It's super satisfying to take a bite when it comes out of the oven.
Cross-bridge rice noodles are also a must-order, with rich side dishes, such as Yunnan ham, abalone, truffles, conch and other high-grade ingredients, so they are also called Hermes in rice noodles.
There are two kinds of rice noodle packages, 58 and 98. It is recommended to choose the package with 98. Compared with the former, it has ten more cold dishes, such as milk fan, lily, mushroom, papaya strips, etc., all of which have local characteristics, and are especially suitable for foreign tourists, so you can taste everything.
A pot of steamed chicken is included with the rice noodle. Two people can't order much food, and this amount is just right. The chicken is very crisp and rotten, and those who like to eat chicken can also order one.
If you like Beijing roast duck, remember to order the freshly roasted Yiliang Little Ma Duck here, which is also one of Xilou's specialty dishes. The roast duck is crispy, oily but not greasy, and it is great to dip it in salt and pepper or sweet noodle sauce.
Finally, I'd like to talk about two fruits-based dishes. One is called Xia Guo grapefruit salad. This dish is a bit of a gimmick. The container is a chocolate bomb. When serving, the bomb is lit first, and the fuse is burned to expose the grapefruit wrapped in blueberry sauce. It tastes refreshing and fresh, and it is well received.
The fruit here in Yunnan is basically one degree sweeter than that in other places, so I ordered another Dehong mixed mango, which tastes crunchy, which is not quite what I expected. It is a bit like plum with licorice powder, and it is quite recommended.
tea is free, very fragrant, but I am willing to pay even if I order it. The clerk's overall service attitude is very good, two people ate less than 3, and the cost performance is also very high.

Hand-holding ceremony
When it comes to hand-holding ceremony in Yunnan, flower cake should be the first place. It is sold in all the streets and alleys of Kunming, and the most famous one is Jiahua Flower Cake, which is a well-known chain store among tourists.
In addition, Yuntui moon cakes are also a good choice. Local friends recommended three old shops that have been open for nearly a hundred years, namely Guanshengyuan, Jiqing Xianghe Guimeixuan. If you like Yuntui moon cakes, you can take some home. Walking
Kunming is a very suitable city for walking. The pace of life here is very slow, and you can feel the leisurely atmosphere when you walk on the road. Here are two classic city walking routes.
Cuihu Park/Yunnan University
Cuihu Park is a favorite place for Kunming locals to visit, with pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and a full of green with very good scenery.
Several roads around Cuihu are named southeast and northwest respectively. After dinner in the evening, many people will choose to take a walk here to help digestion.
Walking slowly along the Cuihu Lake to the other side of Yunnan University, a path called Yuanxi Road gathered a lot of popularity of this school. As I said before, there are often food gathering places near the school, and the snack street here can also be eaten from beginning to end.
This is also the place where people in Kunming can feel the leisurely life atmosphere most. There are people taking photos, walking dogs, playing chess and flying kites, especially many old people and children.
The Cuihu Lake is the most beautiful at sunset. The afterglow of the sunset shines on the lake, and the whole person's heart calms down.
Old streets in Kunming
Old streets include several traditional old streets around Wenmiao Street, Jingxing Street, Qianwang Street and Wenming Street. There are both ancient buildings with great historical charm and some small shops full of design sense, which is definitely a good place to experience the old and new cultures in Kunming.
Wenmiao Street is a new street transformed from an old street. On one side, there are all kinds of snack bars, and on the other side, most of them are old houses where residents live. It is full of fireworks in the city and has its own characteristics.
The area around Qianwang Street is mostly some old houses, which connect the big and small Yingui Lane, Shuguang Lane, Majia Courtyard and Fuchunheng Business House. There are many historical relics protection units, which are full of the customs of the Republic of China and are very suitable for taking pictures.
As night falls, the pedestrians on Wenming Street are sparse, but the Oriental Bookstore is still brightly lit. This bookstore started in 1926 and has a long history. Many cultural celebrities once left footprints here.
The store has a rich collection of books and a quiet environment. Desserts, coffee and tea are also provided. Friends who love reading should remember to visit, and you won't be disappointed.
