On thefirst day, we will start the trip to Cuihu - Nanping Street - Jinma Bijifang! (City center location)
Cuihu:
Cuihu Lake is a gem in Kunming City, with its shimmering water, green trees, and beautiful environment. It enjoys the reputation of "jade in the city". Here, you can not only appreciate the flock dance of seagulls, but also experience the folk art of ethnic minorities, singing and dancing, drama, music performances, local specialties, etc. It is a place where you can experience the folk customs of the local people in a very down-to-earth manner.
Nanping Street:
It is a window of the city, showing Kunming's history, culture, and customs, and becoming a center of communication with business. Reflect the folk customs and life scenes of old Kunming. The ancient streets and historic houses of Guanghua Old Street are worth seeing, and the exotic flowers and jewelry and jade of Jingxing Flower and Bird Market are also very ornamental, as well as various spices, wood, and handicrafts from Southeast Asia.
Jinma Bijifang:
Founded in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, it is 12 meters high and 18 meters wide, with exquisite carved beams and paintings, the east square is called Jinma Fang near Jinma Mountain, and the west fang is called Biji Fang by Biji Mountain, which is a symbol of Kunming. In the old days, "Golden and Blue" was one of the "Eight Views" in Kunming. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the monk once wrote a poem: One pass is in the east and one in the west, and the golden horse is not seen in the green chicken. The longing for the thirty miles is the same as the green rooster crows, and the golden horse neighs.
When night falls, the lights are beautiful, and there is an endless flow of people, who have come here to take pictures and check in, during the day is a blue sky background, and at night it is a contrasting beautiful photo, so you really have to try it here!
next day opens the Golden Hall - a one-day safari park!(North of Kunming)
Golden Hall: (Taihe Palace Golden Hall)
Also known as Tongwa Temple, located at the foot of Mingfeng Mountain, 7 kilometers northeast of Kunming City, sitting east to west, is a famous Taoist temple in Yunnan. The main hall is cast in bronze, shining and dazzling, so it is called the "Golden Hall". The existing golden hall was rebuilt by Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in the tenth year of the Qing Dynasty Kangxi (1671). The Golden Hall has experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs, and has been mottled and simple, but it is more intact than the Golden Hall of Wanshou Mountain in the Summer Palace in Beijing, and it is also larger than the Golden Hall of Wudang Mountain, and it is the largest and most complete pure copper cast hall in our country.
Here, you can calm your mind, breathe fresh air, go to the bell tower to ring the bell, witness the traces left by the long history, and come to the ancient style of Bo Mei Mei to take pictures......
Kunming Wildlife Park:
Adjacent to the Jindian Reservoir, the construction area is 3,000 acres, across the water from the Expo Park. This is the first new tourist attraction in Yunnan that integrates wildlife breeding, display and viewing. Mighty tigers, majestic lions, giraffes that can rub people for food, black bears that can't sit still for a moment, poor civet cats, gluttonous sika deer, unmoved white-browed monkeys, strolling zebras, peacocks that love to show off (know what Yunnan people mean by an old peacock, haha), aggressive rhinos, and all kinds of animals whose names can't be remembered, you will be left unsatisfied to see them all afternoon......
the third day, you can go to the area around Dianchi Lake!
Dianchi Lake:
Located in the southwest of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, it is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and is known as the pearl of the plateau. At the end of October, seagulls flew back from Siberia, which was the peak period for people to travel, rushing to feed the seagulls and take pictures, and tourists from home and abroad came in droves, just to have an encounter with seagulls.
The West Mountain next to it is shaped like a sleeping beauty, quietly lying there, admired by thousands of tourists.
The three-day itinerary is still relatively full, and these are basically the must-visit places in Kunming for the first time! There are also many attractions, such as the Grand View Tower, Wild Duck Lake, Guandu Square, etc., which are also worth visiting, and I will share these places with you next time!
