Green Lake Park

Visit the 'Mist Twin Cities' shrouded in purple, and see the romantic Jacaranda 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 What comes to mind when you think of Kunming? Is it the 'Spring City' with its eternal spring-like climate? Is it the fresh cut flowers from the Dounan Flower Market? Or is it the romantic 'City of Eternal Love'? But in my opinion, what attracts me the most about Kunming is its streets filled with Jacaranda trees. 'Coming from afar to witness the stunning beauty, to see the grandeur of this world.' Find a sunny day, bring a leisurely mood, stroll through the sea of flowers, wander in the purple floral sea, quietly feel the spring and romance of Kunming, and live up to the expectations of the Jacaranda trees in full bloom. 🌸🌸Kunming Flower Viewing Guide: Jiaochang Middle Road, Hongjin Road, Spring City Road, Denghua Street, Cuihu Park, Oil Pipe Bridge Bus Station 🌟Popular Check-in Spots: 💚Jiaochang Middle Road Kunming's most famous Jacaranda avenue. A nearly 2-kilometer-long sea of Jacaranda flowers, it's like a dreamy corridor of Jacaranda. The view from above is particularly stunning, like a dream! There's also Jacaranda-themed ice cream on the roadside, too beautiful to bear eating. 💚Panlong River Bank Several rows of about hundreds of Jacaranda trees are planted along the riverbank. There are fewer tourists here, quiet and beautiful, more natural and comfortable. Standing on the bridge and looking out to the other side of the river, the purple and blue flowers are still blooming, the entire riverbank is a shade of purple-blue. Next to an abandoned railway track is a tall Jacaranda tree, very photogenic. 💚Hongjin Road The place in Kunming where the most Jacaranda trees are planted, with at least thousands of trees. Everywhere you look, you see patches of blue flowers, utterly enchanting. Suitable for capturing the scene of flowers falling. 💚Spring City Road Concentrated from the Eastern Airlines Investment Building to Tailong Hongrui Hotel on Spring City Road. There is a relatively low wall, which, compared to the relatively tall Jacaranda trees, allows you to sit on the wall to get closer to the flowers and have more angles for photos. ❣️Little tips: It is recommended to take photos before 10 am or after 4 pm, as the light is best during these two periods, and the flowers look the most beautiful. If you want to take photos of the streets, try to avoid the rush hours in the morning and evening. It is recommended to wear white or light-colored clothes, which are very photogenic. Aerial photography offers a great perspective. You can get a Jacaranda popsicle, which makes a beautiful prop for photos.

Kunming is really suitable for city walks as the distances between points are not too far. Even those with low stamina can easily complete the walk, and the weather is just too comfortable. Locals say this is already the hottest time in Kunming. Children from the south say that this temperature is within an easily manageable range, expressing love for Cuihu Park once again. This place will forever be my spiritual haven, I love it so much. For a laid-back route, consider the following: Army Lecture Hall - Cuihu Park - Abnormal Coffee Shop - Old Street Ru'an Moon Tower - Ao City Building

"There are fewer swimmers in the lake and more pedestrians. But once pedestrians reach Cuihu, they too become swimmers. Rushing from the noisy and bustling city and the rigid, dull offices, as soon as they enter Cuihu, they immediately feel a sense of relief, the heavy burdens of life, the trivialities of daily necessities, and the grievances and annoyances seem to fade away. People unconsciously slow down their pace, and can even afford to stop, sit on a stone bench by the road, smoke a cigarette, and look around. Even if they are still in a hurry, the spirit is different amidst the lake light and tree shadows. Day in and day out, Cuihu provides the people of Kunming with so much worldly consolation and spiritual recuperation. Therefore, the people of Kunming—including those visitors from afar—are filled with gratitude towards Cuihu." - Wang Zengqi 'The Heart Shadow of Cuihu'

“Green Lake Park, aka Cuihu Park, situated almost in the city center and facing Yunnan University, is one of the most beautiful parks in Kunming city. It is at the foot of Luofeng Mountain and on the west side of Wuhua Mountain. Green Lake itself occupies 15 hectares (37 acres) in the 21-hectare (52 acres) Green Lake Park and used to be a part of Dianchi Lake, but has become an independent lake now because of the water level decreasing of Dianchi.” 📍 Getting there - I believe the closest subway station is Panjiawan (line 3). I personally rode a bike there. It is very easy to get around in Kunming! Attractions - It’s a lovely and peaceful park. I went there around 7pm and it wasn’t really busy. Recommended time - I stayed there for about an hour and a half. I’d recommend you bring food and drinks so you can enjoy a little picnic! #kunming #kunmingtravel #yunnan #yunnantravel #park #chinalife #solotravel #ThisIsChina

| Recommended by Didi driver, Yuantong Temple. During my days in Kunming, I often go for a walk in Cuihu Lake, always seeing many people boating on the lake, but never had the chance to get on one! Yesterday, I walked to Cuihu Lake with a friend again. It was just in the evening, and we decided to rent a boat for fun! It turned out to be a good choice! It made me re-understand Cuihu Lake^^ In the evening around five or six o'clock, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the lake, the sparkling water sometimes reflected on the stone bridge, and when the boat stopped and floated on the lake, I felt peaceful. In short, Cuihu Lake is super beautiful in the evening! If you have time, you can also experience it!

The lake and the seagulls, complement each other ||| The afternoon of the Cui Lake, it's breathtakingly beautiful, the oblique sunlight sprinkles on the water, sparkling, hundreds of seagulls are dancing. Cui Lake seems to lack some vitality without the company of seagulls; while seagulls fly freely on Cui Lake, looking for delicious food, as if they complement each other with Cui Lake. In this season of coming to Kunming, be sure to take a leisurely tour around Cui Lake and its surroundings, and taste the beauty of nature.
