Where to go in winter? There are only two choices in my mind, either Kunming or Sanya. I went to Sanya in 2018, this time, I can choose Kunming.
transportation:
This trip in Kunming, I rented a car and drove by myself. Before departure, I booked a Qijun from XHI and picked it up at Changshui Airport. The store is in the parking lot of the airport. After landing at the airport, we go directly to pick up the car, which is very convenient.
On the way to Kunming, we snatched super cheap air tickets. You know, the round trip is less than 400, which is simply too cost-effective.
stay:
Four days, three nights. The hotel I choose is different every night. On the first day, I randomly choose a hotel in the urban area.
The next day we stayed in a homestay, which was also in the urban area. The room fee is more than 400 yuan, although it is a bit expensive, it is also very cost-effective.
On the third day, we chose Lugu Lake. The reason for this is that Lugu Lake was included in the itinerary of the day.
Meet the seagulls in Dianchi Lake
On the first day of landing in Kunming, there was still a lot of time after picking up the car, so a few of us drove to Dianchi Lake. Before going to Dianchi Lake, I went to a shop to eat some snacks. The snacks in Yunnan are mainly rice noodles. The point is, I feel that the rice noodles eaten in Kunming are much better than the rice noodles I bought.
Dianchi Lake is very large and the scenery is beautiful. But because I have seen Erhai Lake and various seas, I am not very fascinated by the scenery here. So, after arriving at Dianchi Lake, I just bought some food and fed it to the seagulls.
In fact, if you want to feed the seagulls, it is strongly recommended that you go to the Haigeng Dam, where there are a lot of seagulls.
The picture above is the wild mushroom hotpot after returning from Dianchi Park. There are so many hotpot restaurants like this in Yunnan. The dishes we went to were not bad.
After eating hot pot, a few of us went to Nanqiang Night Market, which is on Nanping Street. Nanqiang Night Market is super lively, and there are all kinds of artworks on sale. However, we just walked around here and didn't really buy anything.
The beauty of Luchong Scenic Area
The tickets for Luchong Scenic Area are simply too conscientious, 7.5 yuan per person, and the parking fee is 15 yuan. (This is the first time I have encountered a scenic spot where tickets are cheaper than parking fees)
This scenic spot is definitely beyond my imagination. The lake here is very clear. I personally think it is much more beautiful than Dianchi Park.
The trees here are lush green, and the ships in the distance are scattered around, like stars on the sea.
There are very few tourists out for tourism now, and several of us also said that every time we go to a scenic spot, we will have the feeling of enjoying the whole scenic spot to ourselves. This kind of feel is simply amazing. If we hadn't only had three days of vacation, I should have stayed here for only one day.
There are a lot of small stones here, which are probably artificially designed. It’s also good to sit on a stone at will and take some small pictures of literature and art.
The boats staying by the lake are so beautiful, and each boat is designed to be colorful. When these colors collide together, it seems to be a vibrant and real atmosphere in the world. It's a pity that the weather is still a little bit cold now. If it is summer, I will definitely take a boat tour.
There is a tree on the shore, which happens to be a good background for taking pictures. It is suggested that when you take pictures, you must not put your body in the middle of the tree, otherwise the photos you take will not look good.
After leaving Luchong Scenic Area, we went to Wanghai Park. Wanghai Park is a very suitable spot for taking wedding photos. After we arrived at the park, we saw several couples taking pictures here.
In Wanghai Park, there are traces of spring everywhere. The sea is sparkling, and the mountains in the distance guard this lake. The white clouds in the sky are big and big. Listen to the wind here and see how the leaves are swaying. I think this is probably the Kunming I most want to meet.
The beauty of Fuxian Lake
The first time I saw Fuxian Lake was when I was using Weibo, the blogger I followed posted a bunch of photos of Fuxian Lake. Before this, I didn't even know this attraction existed. Now that you know it, you will always go there.
This time I chose to stay near Fuxian Lake. There are a lot of homestays here, and they are all well-decorated.
It was quite late when we arrived at Fuxian Lake that day. After packing up, we rested in the hotel for a while, and then went to watch the sunset of Fuxian Lake. Unexpectedly, we went too late, and then we just saw the tail of the sunset. But this is already very exciting. I haven't seen a sunset like this for a long time.
Checked in the Fuxian Lake Starry Sky Town, which seems to have been built not long ago. At present, here is a literary and artistic resort built for tourists, or it can be regarded as a community. All supporting facilities inside are very complete. The point is, it is especially suitable for taking pictures here. Just take a photo and you can take a beautiful photo.
There is a RV camp here in Fuxian Lake. I found that in recent years, everyone has started a RV self-driving tour. I have to say that modern people are so rich.
After that, we set off to the lonely mountain, which is actually a small mountain that is not worth it. If you have been to other small islands, I personally think there is no need to go to Lonely Mountain.
After that, I checked in at Moon Bay Wetland Park. Looking from the outside, there are verbena everywhere. The scenery is very beautiful.
Note that this small attraction is charged separately, 30 yuan. However, the ticket price can also be deducted. But when you spend in the small town, you can directly deduct the tickets.
The Beauty of Dounan Flower Market
When you arrive in Kunming, you must visit the Dounan Flower Market. It is said that the Dounan Flower Market is the most famous flower market in the country. There are many kinds of flowers here, the prices are cheap, and they are all super fresh. We arrived at Dounan Flower Market before 5 pm.
Take a look at the flower market here, they say it is bustling every day. We also bought some flowers. How cheap is it? The sunflower was only 15 yuan, and the little daisy we bought was only 9 yuan. This is not at all the price I would pay for flowers at home.
Although there are relatively few flowers bought in the flower market, there are quite a lot of photos taken. I really envy people who live in Kunming. If I were in Kunming, I would visit the flower market every week. For me, this is the spice of life.
Before flying back from Kunming, we went to a store to buy souvenirs. So far, the trip to Kunming has come to a successful conclusion.
