Third time in Kunming, please directly copy this nanny-level travel guide

After visiting Kunming three times, I can responsibly say that this place should not just be a transit stop for many people traveling in Yunnan❗️ - Day 1️⃣ Former Site of Southwest Associated University - Wenhua Alley - Wenlin Street - Yunnan University ☑️ Former Site of Southwest Associated University: Located within Yunnan Normal University, it includes the Southwest Associated University Museum and historical relics. The campus of Yunnan Normal University is also very beautiful. You can make a free reservation in advance on Xiaochengxu 🍊🤫. ☑️ Wenhua Alley + Wenlin Street: These two streets are connected and full of vintage shops, dining, cafes, bookstores, and small bars. ☑️ Yunnan University: The East Lu Campus of Yunnan University is truly one of the most beautiful campuses! You can make a free reservation in advance on Xiaochengxu 🍊🤫. - Day 2️⃣ Army Lecture Hall - Cuihu Park - Huanggong East Street ☑️ Army Lecture Hall: A famous former military academy, now a free attraction. ☑️ Cuihu Park: A must-visit park in Kunming with beautiful scenery. You can see seagulls in winter. Highly recommend taking a boat ride once, it’s so comfortable! There are many dining and coffee shops around. ☑️ Huanggong East Street: Known for its iconic yellow walls and red flowers, it has become a popular Instagram spot in Kunming. - Day 3️⃣ Huashan South Road - Trinity International Chapel - Abnormal Café - Kunming Old Street (Duiyuelou) - Yunnan Art Museum - Nanping Pedestrian Street ☑️ Huashan South Road: A historic and trendy street area, featuring the large "Kunming" character wall and Ho Chi Minh’s former residence. ☑️ Trinity International Chapel: A Gothic-style building built in 1903, very photogenic. ☑️ Abnormal Café: The classic location of the "Kunming" check-in wall. ☑️ Kunming Old Street (Duiyuelou): A landmark building combining old residential houses and modern commerce. ☑️ Nanping Pedestrian Street: A very popular commercial street, known as Kunming’s "Chunxi Road." - Day 4️⃣ Yunnan Provincial Museum - Guandu Ancient Town - Dounan Flower Market - Dounan Wetland Park ☑️ Guandu Ancient Town: A historic town and one of the birthplaces of Dian culture. ☑️ Dounan Flower Market: Asia’s largest fresh cut flower trading market, with a wide variety and cheap prices. ☑️ Dounan Wetland Park: A wetland park not far from Dounan Flower Market, a lesser-known spot to enjoy the beautiful Dianchi Lake scenery. ⚠️ The attractions in the first three days are almost all in one area. If you don’t feel tired, you can visit them consecutively to save time. - 🏨 Kunming Accommodation I personally recommend staying near ☑️ Cuihu Park, ☑️ Kunming Old Street, or ☑️ Hang Lung Plaza for convenient travel. The first two areas mostly have older hotels or cost-effective hotels/guesthouses, represented by Cuihu Hotel. The latter is a concentrated area of five-star hotels in Kunming, represented by Kunming Grand Hyatt Hotel. - For the last two visits, I stayed at Kunming Grand Hyatt Hotel. The location is excellent, with a subway station not far from the entrance. There is an internal corridor directly connecting to Hang Lung Plaza (currently Kunming’s most upscale mall), making dining, shopping, and entertainment very convenient. . Personally, I think many guides recommend staying near Cuihu, but that area has heavy traffic and crowds, making transportation chaotic. Hang Lung is quieter. . The hotel’s decoration style is incredibly photogenic, with standard rooms starting at 45㎡. The rooms have great views and many smart-controlled facilities. . My favorite is their breakfast, which is rich in variety and delicious. I usually can’t get up for breakfast at many hotels, but at Kunming Grand Hyatt, I can again😘 -
