[2025 Kunming Attraction] Travel Guide for Haigeng Park (Updated May)

Everyone! I just came back from Kunming and received a private message from my bestie: "I heard that you took your child to the sea of ​​flowers and he cried for three days?" Yes, that's right! Because - my baby was moved to tears in the cherry blossom rain, I was suffocated and cried in the rapeseed field, and finally cried until my makeup was ruined in the water show in the ethnic village 😭🌸 🌸【A must-see magic trap for children】🌸 ⚠ Pitfalls Warning: Yuantongshan Cherry Blossoms (No. 92, Qingnian Road, Wuhua District) The cherry blossom rain will make you doubt your life! It is recommended to wear a waterproof jacket, otherwise your hair will turn into cherry blossom-flavored marshmallows in seconds. The baby may have symptoms of "petal allergy": keep saying "Mom, this is a star falling down" ✨ ✅ Magic spells: 2. Peach Blossoms in Country Park (Heilinpu Street, Wuhua District) Free magic effective time: March 1st - April 5th, 10,000 peach trees collectively turn pink Parent-child must-learn: Play "petal catching" in the peach blossom forest. If the child catches 10 petals, he will be rewarded with rainbow candy🍬 Famous Flower Valley (next to Sanjia Village Reservoir, Xishan District) 30 yuan to unlock triple flower sea magic: ① Rapeseed fields instantly became the filming location for "Heidi and Grandpa" ② Butterfly fairies will appear among the poppies ③ There is a rainbow hidden in the alpine rhododendron forest🌈 If you bring your kids, you must take the train (20 yuan/person), otherwise the magic of the sea of ​​flowers will suck away all your energy. Xishan Scenic Area (Metro Line 3, Xishan Park Station, Exit A) The cable car going up the mountain will trigger the "cloud screaming magic", so timid kids should be careful! The stairs of Longmen Grottoes hide the "stair counting magic". If the child counts to 100 levels, he will be rewarded with ice cream🍦 Tanhua Temple Park (No. 533 Tanhua Road) The sea of ​​peony flowers has the "magic of time travel", wearing Hanfu can instantly turn you into an ancient lady Hidden magic: Borrow a watering can from the gardener to create an artificial rainbow🌈 🚗【3-Day Magic Adventure Route】🚗 Day 1: Magic Awakening in the City Yuantong Mountain Cherry Blossoms→Green Lake Red-billed Gulls→Weeping Begonias in Xihua Garden 💡 Magic props: Use mirrors to reflect sunlight and create light spots under the weeping crabapple waterfall in Xihua Garden Day 2: Advanced Mountain Magic Xishan Cable Car→Famous Flower Valley Train→Ethnic Village Water Show ⚠ Magic Taboo: The restaurant in Minghua Valley will steal your wallet, it is recommended to bring your own "energy biscuits" Day 3: The final chapter of ancient magic Peony at Tanhua Temple→Peach Blossom at Country Park→Dounan Flower Market 💡 The ultimate magic: Buy 3 bunches of sunflowers for 10 yuan at Dounan Flower Market, and the kids hold them up for photos, it’s super healing🌻 ⚠【Magic Defense Guide】⚠ Sun protection cape: SPF50 + children's sunscreen + sun protection mask, otherwise you will be tanned into a small coal ball by the sun Mosquito repellent bracelet: Mosquitoes in the sea of ​​flowers will cast an "itching spell", physical defense is the most reliable Energy supply: When taking your baby with you, you must carry a small backpack filled with dried fruits + nuts + wet wipes Luggage storage: We used the Dianchi Haigeng Park storage point, which is open from 9 am to 6 pm. We played until sunset after storing our luggage. Although I took my baby to wander around in the magical world of flowers for three days, when the baby raised his little hands covered with pollen and said, "Mom, I caught the spring", I felt that all the magic backlash was worth it at that moment~ Kunming's spring is a miracle where even breathing is sweet🌸🌼💐

#springitinerary #海埂公园 #HaigengPark #DianchiLakeViews #SpringInKunming #RedBeakedGulls #UrbanNatureKunming #KunmingParks #YunnanTravel #SlowTravelChina #YunnanSpringItinerary #LakeSideWalks As part of my spring itinerary in Kunming, I visited Haigeng Park early in the morning — and it turned out to be one of the most serene parts of my trip. The calm surface of Dianchi Lake reflected the light morning mist, and the air was fresh, crisp, and filled with the sound of birdsong. Dozens of red-beaked gulls soared above the water, occasionally dipping down for a snack tossed by morning walkers. Locals were already out for tai chi, dancing, or casual strolls under willow trees just starting to bud. I walked along the promenade, soaking in views of the mountains across the lake and stopping to photograph the peaceful flocks in flight. Street vendors were setting up slowly, offering warm soy milk, steamed buns, and roasted yams — perfect for a light breakfast by the water. The park felt alive, yet unhurried, just like spring should be. Travel Tips: • Best time to visit: Morning (7:00–10:00 AM) for clean air, bird activity, and fewer crowds. • Red-beaked gulls gather in spring: Great photo opportunities by the lakeside. • Bring breakfast or buy from local vendors: Simple snacks available near the main entrance. • Good for walking or light jogging: Wide paths with scenic views. • Look for local life: Morning dance groups, tai chi, and fishing by the shore. • Light jacket recommended: Spring mornings can be cool and breezy near the lake. How to Get There: • By metro: Take Line 5 to Haigeng Park Station, and exit directly to the park. • By bus: Use routes like K31, 73, 94, or 135, all of which stop nearby. • By taxi or Didi: Enter “海埂公园” in the app; about 20–30 minutes from downtown. • Combine with: A walk along Haigeng Dam or a visit to Yunnan Ethnic Village later in the day.

🍁Kunming 🛵"Cuihu Park" Recommend going before 9 AM. The seagulls are more active in the morning. At this time, Cuihu Park has both spring and autumn scenery coexisting! It's so beautiful! 🛵"Haigeng Park—Haihong Wetland Park" Recommended for afternoon visits! Perfect spots for photographing bald cypress trees and seagulls! The two places are some distance apart, so you can rent bicycles/electric vehicles to get to the other side. The sunset turns the bald cypress trees in Haihong Wetland a beautiful red color, making it incredibly photogenic whether you're boating or feeding seagulls! 🛵"Kunming Old Street" Worth visiting if you're staying nearby. It's quite large and a well-developed commercial old street, though prices are slightly high. 🛵Guandu Ancient Town Has many old buildings. If it's on your route, worth stopping by for a visit. It's also quite a commercialized ancient town. - 🍁Lijiang 🛵"Lijiang Ancient Town" A lively ancient town with artistic shops, nostalgic folk singers, cobblestone paths and snow-capped mountains. In the evening, there's a bonfire party at Sifang Street in the ancient town where you can dance around the fire! 🛵"Shuhe Ancient Town" Has relatively fewer tourists and staying here is super relaxing! Less commercialized, and the whole ancient town isn't very big, perfect for wandering around. (Costume rental/photo shoot prices are relatively lower, and there are fewer people—I love it! But I discovered this after already having my photos taken in Baisha.) 🛵"Baisha Ancient Town" Has a strong local atmosphere. As soon as you get off the vehicle, you'll see a street that resembles a market. This ancient town isn't big and can be explored quickly. If you're not specifically going there for a photo shoot, half a day is enough. 🛵Sunrise on Golden Mountain-Jade Dragon Snow Mountain-Blue Moon Valley Booked a tour through a mini program, 428 yuan/person, including oxygen bottles and warm clothing. 🏔️The advantage is that they handle transportation and guarantee access to the large cable car. 🏔️The downside is the time constraints. The time for watching the sunrise on Golden Mountain is quite short. My boyfriend was planning to propose there, but just as he was about to take out the ring, we were called to leave haha 🤣🤣. Also, it took us longer to climb to 4680m, and then we had to queue for 1 hour to come down, almost missing our return bus. - 🍁Dali 🛵"Dali Ancient Town" Very commercialized. The ancient town is large, but once inside, it feels like there aren't many specialty dishes. We tried stone-grilled meat, which was just average. 🛵"Longkan Wharf" You can rent small electric vehicles to get there. It's not far from Dali Ancient Town and looks beautiful in the evening! Many people sing by the shore of Erhai Lake, making it perfect for taking a stroll, listening to music, and feeding seagulls. 🛵"Xizhou Ancient Town-Couple's Tree" When I went, they had just harvested the wheat, but it was still very photogenic. Sitting in a coffee shop next to the wheat field was quite relaxing. In Xizhou Ancient Town, you can ride a bike to the Couple's Tree, but parking costs money, even for small electric vehicles. 🛵"Fengyang Yi" A very quiet little village that feels so comfortable to walk through! I originally wanted to visit "You Feng Courtyard" and "Xie Zhi Yao's Home," but the courtyard prices were a bit high, so I ended up just taking some photos nearby and then exploring other places.

Yunnan, abbreviated as Dian, is a mountainous plateau with the southern extension of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the north, including the Gaoligong Mountains, the Yunling Mountains and other huge mountain systems, as well as the Nujiang River, the Lancang River, the Jinsha River and other large rivers.

Yunnan Nationalities Village is located on the shore of Dianchi Lake in the southwestern suburbs of Kunming. It is a window to reflect and display the social and cultural customs of the 26 ethnic groups in Yunnan. It displays the architectural art, songs and dances, costumes, cultural customs, religious beliefs and living customs of various ethnic groups in Yunnan. The main attractions include the Dai Village, Buyi Village, Wa Village, Miao Village, Dulong Village, Pumi Village, Nu Village, Lisu Village, Manchu Courtyard, Wa Village Bai Village, Zhuang Village, Mosuo Folk House Yi Village, Naxi Village, Jingpo Village, etc. This is my third visit to Kunming. Last time, I mainly visited the Xishan Scenic Area, Longmen Grottoes, and Kunming Old Street. This time, I first checked in to the InterContinental Kunming. It was the Lunar New Year holiday, which was the season to see seagulls. It was so beautiful to walk to the Haigeng Dam by Dianchi Lake to see the spectacular and shocking Dianchi Lake, Xishan Mountain and the seagulls from Siberia. I also visited the Yunnan Museum, Yunnan Nationalities Village, and Guandu Ancient Town. What a wonderful time! I will definitely come to Yunnan and Kunming again if I have the opportunity.

[RoundNails] Attraction Address: Haigen Dam is located on the east bank of Yunnan Lake in Kunming, with a total length of about 4.5 kilometers.

⚠️Tip: [Compass] Time: end of October to end of March of the following year 1️⃣The seagulls in Dianchi Lake are mainly red-billed gulls, which are migratory birds. They migrate from Siberia, Mongolia and northern China every winter (late October to early November). From mid-to-late March to early April of the following year, as the temperature rises, the red-headed gulls will fly north to return to their breeding grounds. The number of seagulls starts to decrease around March, but some can stay until April. 2️⃣Best gull watching location ① Haigeng Dam: the most popular gull-watching spot along the Dianchi Lake, with a wide view and dense seagulls ②Haigeng Park: connected to Haigeng Dam ③Haihong Wetland Park: Watch the beautiful sunset [Rainbow] It is best to watch seagulls between 9:00-11:00 in the morning or 15:00-17:00 in the afternoon. Seagulls are more active and the light is soft. If you put seagull food in your hand, seagulls will come over and you can easily get a photo with them.

#travelinginchina I saw many friends on the Internet saying that it was not fun, but this time I brought my mother here to play, so I still chose to come There are relatively few entertainment facilities inside, and the overall color of the people is not bright. Sisters who want to take pictures can give up here! If you are with children or the elderly, it is quite comfortable here. It is relatively cool all the way, and there are many shades of trees to block the sun 🌞 (my mother likes it very much) There is a hydrangea exhibition inside, and the price comment area is not big, but it is very suitable for taking pictures with garlands. There is a large blue hydrangea wall (fake flowers) The garland on the head is super beautiful! Sisters can buy it from the big sisters at the entrance of Haigeng Park. The price I bought now is qi yuan. The jasmine bracelet is san yuan. There are so many, choose slowly, don’t rush to buy! Finally, about renting a car, my mother and I rented a three-person car (the smallest three-person car), and it was very comfortable and safe to ride along the roadside #travelinspiration #localguides #travelinspiration #familytrip

#favouriteitinerary Haigeng Park is the main viewing area of Dianchi Lake, with lush green trees lining the lake and a fresh, beautiful environment. Every winter, Dianchi Lake becomes a haven for black-headed gulls, making bird-watching and feeding them a popular activity in the park. Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Haigeng Park offers a serene and refreshing escape. The presence of black-headed gulls during winter adds a unique charm, making it a delightful spot for nature enthusiasts and bird watchers alike.

Kunming Dianchi Haihong Wetland Park Seagulls are no longer attached to the sea and can fly further. If they don’t come to Kunming again, the seagulls will fly back to Siberia! Take a taxi and you will arrive at Haigeng Dam as soon as you get off the car I arrived around 12 noon, so I suggest you go earlier! Otherwise the seagulls will be full and won’t eat your bread, so just buy banana bread! ! ! Don’t buy old-fashioned bread or Panpan Seagulls won’t eat it. You can imitate the seagull’s call to attract seagulls and make your friends call boldly! Don't ever pay a roadside photographer! It's hard to describe the shot, the angle is extremely tricky. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

First time traveling to Kunming, Yunnan with the family. Of course, Haigeng Dam is a must-see. We saw seagulls, but it felt a bit commercialized with people taking photos everywhere. Haigeng Park is better with fewer people. The round-trip cable car from Haigeng Dam to Xishan is only CNY 100 per person, which is quite cost-effective. You can take your kids on it. Then in the afternoon, we went to Yunnan Nationalities Village to experience the unique culture of different ethnic groups. You can actually spend a whole day here. Kids love the various performances. It's not easy to get it right the first time. You should go from Dianchi Lake to Yunnan Nationalities Village, then Haigeng Dam. You can take the cable car to Xishan from Haigeng Park. Then Cuihu Park, Yunnan Military Academy, and Kunming Old Street are good for strolling and eating. You can also visit Jindian Temple in the city.

There is a parking lot in the park. 👍Most Recommended: ✅Haigeng Dam: It is an excellent place to enjoy the panoramic view of Dianchi Lake and Sleeping Beauty of Xishan Mountain. From November to March of the following year, you can also see a large number of red-billed gulls, where you can feed them and take pictures. ✅By the Dianchi Lake: Stroll along the Dianchi Lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains. The scenery is beautiful at sunrise and sunset, and you can take silhouette photos. ✅Lawns and gardens: There are large lawns and many flowers in the park, which are suitable for taking fresh and natural style photos.

Kunming Green Lake Cloudy to sunny Visited eight years ago in June when driving along the Yunnan-Tibet Highway There were no red-billed gulls in that season But there were lotuses and egrets I didn't know there was a "Yunnan Military Academy" across the street This time, I missed the chance to visit "Yunnan University" So I went to Guandu Ancient Town and Dounan Flower Market instead There is a phenomenon that I don't understand. In Haigeng Park and Green Lake, whether they are selling seagull food or taking photos, when they shout, the seagulls fly over and grab the food in their hands. However, whether it's ham or bread in the hands of tourists, even if it's the food they sell, the seagulls ignore it. Why is this? Maybe this is their business.

Location: Kunming's Haigeng Dam and Haigeng Park. It was almost noon when I arrived in Kunming from Xishuangbanna by high-speed train after three and a half hours. After checking in early, I went straight to Haigeng Dam to see the seagulls. There weren't too many people on the dam, but there were already many seagulls flying around. The seagulls flew back and forth over the blue sky and blue water of Dianchi Lake. There were people on the dam with seagull food to feed the seagulls, but tourists were still keen to experience feeding the seagulls themselves, and bought bread and seagull food. Seagulls seem to prefer fatty bread. Security and sanitation staff did not intervene in the feeding behavior of tourists, so the whole dam was full of pictures of seagulls and people living in harmony. There were many vendors selling seagull food and bread on the dam, as well as many photographers soliciting business. When you stay on the dam, you will almost always be sold bread, seagull food, and photos with seagulls. I watched the seagulls on the dam for a long time, bought bread to feed the seagulls, and took photos and videos with the seagulls. The little seagulls were very cooperative. Not far from the dam is Haigeng Park, which is built along Dianchi Lake. From the park, you can see Dianchi Lake, surrounded by Xishan Mountain, which is wide and magnificent. As I walked slowly along the park, I met a couple who asked me to take a photo for them. They were very beautiful and cute, and very polite. That's what travel is all about, meeting different people, encountering many unknown things, which may make you happy or may annoy you.

There is a kind of poetry called the sunset of Dianchi Lake. When the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on Dianchi Lake, The water surface is sparkling, shining with golden light.
