A Stunning Sunset with Gulls

🌊 Must-See Attractions at Dianchi Lake 1. Haigeng Dam This is Dianchi's "internet-famous check-in spot." In winter, thousands of red-billed gulls come here for vacation! You can buy a bag of gull food, hold it high, and then... "Click!" A beautiful photo of "a fairy dancing with seagulls" is born! (Be careful not to let the gulls snatch your snacks, they are "air bandits"!) 2. Xishan Forest Park Want to overlook the entire Dianchi Lake? Then go climb Xishan! You can choose to hike or take the cable car (shh~ I won't tell anyone). The Dragon Gate Grottoes at the top of the mountain are super impressive. Touch the Dragon Gate, it is said to bring good luck! (Fairies should definitely give it a try!) 3. Dianchi Wetland Park This is a paradise for those who love fresh air and nature! Reed marshes, wooden walkways, blue sky and white clouds, any photo you take will be a "forest fairy" blockbuster! You can also rent a bicycle and ride along the lake, feeling the joy of the breeze on your face~ 4. Yunnan Nationalities Village Want to experience the customs of 25 ethnic minorities in Yunnan all at once? Come to the Nationalities Village! Watch Dai dances, listen to Bai folk songs, eat Yi barbecue... (Fairies say: My eyes and mouth can't keep up!) 🍜 Food Recommendations near Dianchi Lake 1. Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles How can you come to Yunnan and not eat Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles? Boiling hot broth, fresh ingredients, slurp it down, it's so delicious your eyebrows will fall off! (Fairy tip: Be careful not to burn your mouth!) 2. Steam Pot Chicken Chicken soup "steamed" with steam, delicious and not greasy, a sip will warm you up~ (It is said that this is the secret to Yunnan people's beauty?) 3. Roasted Erkuai The Yunnan version of "Jianbing Guozi," soft Erkuai brushed with sauce, sandwiched with a fried dough stick, one bite is super satisfying! (Fairies can also choose sweet sauce and eat it as a dessert~) 4. Wild Mushroom Hot Pot Yunnan's mushrooms are "mountain treasures"! But fairies should pay attention, be sure to cook them thoroughly before eating, otherwise you might see "little people dancing"... (You know what I mean!) 🎡 Fun Recommendations near Dianchi Lake 1. Grand View Pavilion An ancient pavilion by Dianchi Lake, climb to the top to overlook Xishan and Dianchi Lake, the scenery is amazing! The lotus pond downstairs is super beautiful in summer, suitable for taking photos in Hanfu~ 2. Dounan Flower Market The largest fresh flower market in Asia! Here, roses are sold by the kilogram, and sunflowers are bigger than your face! (Fairies can buy a bouquet and pretend to be a "flower fairy"~) 3.

Outfit Suggestions Dianchi's blue sky and clear water are perfect for light-colored clothes. A white dress + straw hat will instantly transform you into an "Erhai style" fairy! 2. Photo Poses - Haigeng Dam: Spread your arms and wait for the seagulls to fly over (keep a calm expression, don't be scared!). - Wetland Park: Sit on the boardwalk and pretend to be melancholic (actually waiting for the photographer to shout "Are you done yet?"). 3. Best Time The light is softest in the morning and evening, and the photos taken have a built-in filter effect! 🎁 Shopping List for Fairies 1. Flower Cakes A Yunnan specialty, the crust is crispy, and the filling is rose petals, sweet but not greasy! (Take them back as gifts for your friends, they will love you to death~) 2. Ethnic Style Accessories There are many handmade accessories near the Nationalities Village or Dounan Flower Market, earrings, bracelets... Wear them and instantly transform into an "exotic fairy"! 💡 Warm Tips for Fairies 1. Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! Kunming's ultraviolet rays are super strong, fairies must apply sunscreen, otherwise they might become "little black girls"! 2. Wear Comfortable Shoes There's a lot of walking around Dianchi Lake, flat shoes are the way to go! (High heels? Leave them for the princess to wear at home~) 3. Bring a Jacket The temperature difference between day and night in Kunming is large. You're a fairy during the day, but you can't freeze into a "poor little thing" at night!
