Romantic and once 'literary people like forest' Kunming streets and alleys
Kunming Wenlin Street is a street in Kunming City, starting from the intersection of Cuihu North Road and Qingyun Street in the east, and ending at the north entrance of Dongfeng West Road in the west. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because this street was close to the rural examination place, Gongyuan, many candidates passed through this street, so it was named with the meaning of 'literary people like forest'. Now, Wenlin Street has a variety of Western restaurants, cafes, bars, clothing stores and other specialty shops, many shops have a simple, retro exterior, but the interior is unique, revealing a sense of romance in the literary. In addition, the four seasons scenery of Wenlin Street is also very romantic, such as the summer sun through the green leaves sprinkled on the ground, autumn and winter season full of ginkgo leaves dyed the ground golden.
