西山龙门

Xishan is known as "Sleeping Beauty Mountain". Longmen Grottoes are a group of stone carvings carved on the cliff by craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty. From the top, you can overlook Dianchi Lake and the entire city of Kunming.

昆明世博园景区

Kunming World Horticultural Expo Garden was the venue of the 1999 Kunming International Horticultural Exposition. Gardens, themed courtyards and exhibition halls express horticulture from different regions. Access to garden routes does not imply access to every hall. Flowerbeds, facilities and exhibitions in historical photographs may have changed. Confirm currently open areas before choosing how far to walk.

翠湖公园

The free city park in the city center is known as the "Eye of Kunming", with a pool of green lake water and half of Kunming city. There are red-billed gulls in winter (November to March) and lotus flowers in summer. It is a back garden for locals to take a walk and relax.

圆通寺

It is an ancient temple built more than 1,200 years ago during the Nanzhao period of the Tang Dynasty. It is a rare "inverted slope temple" in the country (all the way downhill when entering the mountain gate). The three sects of Buddhism, Chinese, Tibetan and Southern Buddhism, coexist and have a water courtyard style garden layout.

石林

A world natural heritage and national 5A scenic spot, the karst sword-shaped stone forest landform is known as "the best wonder in the world"; it is also the settlement of the Sani people of the Yi ethnic group, and the legend of Ashima's love was born here.

斗南花市

Asia's largest fresh cut flower trading market, where about 70% of the country's flowers come from, is open to the public free of charge.

石林风景区

The stone forest is a large-scale karst landform. Dissolution and erosion have formed dense stone pillars, corridors, caves and terraces. The large and small stone forests and the Naigu Stone Forest differ in rock color and tourist density; when understanding geological processes, we should also combine the narratives and cultural traditions of the Sani Yi people, rather than just looking for pseudo-object names for the rocks.

滇池海埂片区

Dianchi Lake is a large plateau lake that defines the southern edge of Kunming, and the sea ridge provides convenient lakeside trails and views of the Western Mountains. Wetlands, winter red-billed gulls, and ongoing ecological restoration indicate that this is a real watershed that is still being managed, rather than a static background; the access and ecological conditions of different lakeshore parks are also different.

云南省博物馆

The Yunnan Provincial Museum provides a global context for understanding diverse Yunnan travel. The archeology of Yunnan culture, Buddhist art, bronzes, ceramics, textiles and ethnic collections present the connections between the plateau, southwest China and Southeast Asia; large modern exhibition halls are suitable for establishing a framework before traveling to various ancient cities and natural areas.

翠湖与云南陆军讲武堂

Cuihu is a compact urban park where daily exercise, music activities and winter migratory birds reflect contemporary Kunming life; the adjacent Yunnan Army Lecture Hall showcases the political changes in the influential military education institution and its trainees in the early 20th century. Parks and museums connect the city's daily life with modern history without having to travel far.
