Kunming Western Hills and Dianchi Lake Lazy 1-Day Tour Guide! Explore Dianchi Lake in Half a Day Without Getting Tired

Discovered a super easy route to enjoy Dianchi Lake in just half a day, sharing it with all the lazy friends👇

🌟Route: Western Hills - Longmen Scenic Area - Dianchi Lake - Haigeng Park - Haihong Wetland - Return

✅Detailed itinerary

1️⃣ Hotel (I stayed near Tazixiang Metro Station) - Metro Line 2 transfer to Line 3 - Exit A at Xishan Park Station

2️⃣ Buy bus tickets at the entrance of Western Hills Scenic Area 🚌12.5 RMB/person - enjoy the scenery on the bus - get off at the terminal station to Longmen Scenic Area

(Lazy people who don’t want to hike can take the cable car directly to Dianchi Lake~)

3️⃣ Buy a one-way cable car ticket: Western Hills - Dianchi Lake 🎫58 RMB/person (can buy in advance online or on-site)

Tips: The cable car 🚡 holds 6 people per car, p2 shows the cable car view, overlooking Kunming and Dianchi Lake, painless and highly recommended!

4️⃣ Walk from the cable car exit to Haigeng Park (p5 shows electric scooters)

🛵 Scan the code to rent an electric scooter, 300 RMB deposit, 39 RMB/30 min with refund for unused time. Highly recommended! Return the scooter at the farthest return point

5️⃣ After returning the scooter, walk to Haihong Wetland

Same 300 RMB deposit, 49 RMB/30 min, after returning you can go boating 🚣

120 RMB/boat/1 hour, fewer people in the off-season, scenery is stunning, see p1 and p6

The whole trip is less than 5 km on foot, basically no walking needed, perfect for those in a hurry or who don’t like walking! 💯
