Seagulls and Spring City

#springwander This year, Kunming doesn't feel as cold as usual, and there are an especially large number of people flocking to the Haigeng Dam of Dianchi Lake to feed the seagulls. In the afternoon, the seagulls seem less hungry, yet they fly very low, swooping down like bombers. Drones can only operate along the edge of the no - fly zone. At this time, there seem to be more people than seagulls. It's quite concerning to think about some overseas incidents where people play pranks by adding laxatives to the seagulls' food, causing beachgoers to fall victim one after another. Hopefully, no one in Kunming would do such a thing; otherwise, it could lead to some rather unpleasant situations. The Haigeng Dam is located 10km from the center of Kunming. It's highly recommended to ride a bike there since hailing a taxi on the spot is difficult, and parking is an even bigger headache, especially with traffic control on weekends. The best time to visit is in the morning when the seagulls are hungry and more eager to be fed. In the afternoon, their flights seem a bit more lackluster. The evening sunset provides a beautiful backdrop, but so many people are vying for photo spots that they far outnumber the seagulls. #familytrip #historicallandmarks #localguides
