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

📍 Getting there - I’d recommend taking a DiDi or ride a bike! Attractions- The park is large and has a lot of beautiful gardens and an attractions park! Food - You can buy some food on site. This park is very beautiful! I highly recommend visiting if you’re in Kunming! ❤️ Some information about the park: “The park consists of seven tourist areas, including Jinhuapu, Louwailou, Mindscape Garden, East Garden, Yu Manor, Lu Garden and New West Garden. Divided by style of different ages, Daguan Park can be classified into three regions – the "historic garden" that is made up of the Jinwupu, the Louwailou, the Mindscape Garden and the East Garden and features in the style of Ming and Qing dynasties; the "south garden" that contains the Yu Manor and Lu Garden and features the confluent beauty of Chinese and western gardening popular in China between 1912 and 1949; and the "west garden". #kunmingtravel #park #kunming #naturaloxygenbar #summervacationtravel #solotravel #chinalife #exploreasia #ThisIsChina #themepark#nationalpark

#ChinaTravel #DaguanPark If you want to see something special around the Lunar New Year in Kunming, I recommend experiencing the Daguan Park Lantern Festival. The admission fee is around 100 yuan, which is a bit expensive, but it is worth seeing the large-scale lantern sculptures unique to China and the many people making New Year's wishes. In my case, I went up to Xishan during the day, took my time looking around, and then came down around sunset and took a taxi to Daguan Park to continue my night trip. It is not too far from Xishan, so you can easily complete the trip, and the various unique lantern sculptures will make your eyes dazzle..^^

#travelinginchina My recent trip to Kunming to witness the cherry blossoms was an absolute delight. As soon as I entered the designated cherry - blossom viewing area, I was greeted by a breathtaking sight. Rows upon rows of cherry - blossom trees stretched as far as the eye could see, their branches heavy with delicate, pale - pink blossoms. The petals were so fine and soft, almost like tissue paper, and they fluttered gently in the warm spring breeze, creating a magical, snow - like shower of pink petals. The air was filled with a faint, sweet fragrance that added to the overall charm of the place. There were families having picnics under the trees, couples taking romantic strolls hand - in - hand, and photographers trying their best to capture the beauty of the blossoms from every angle. I couldn't resist taking countless pictures myself, trying to freeze these precious moments in time. The cherry blossoms in Kunming truly offered a sensory overload, with their stunning visual display, delicate scent, and the lively atmosphere of people enjoying the beauty of nature. It was a trip that I will cherish forever, and I can't wait to visit again next year to experience this natural wonder all over again. #trip #familytrip #localguides #historicallandmarks

Kunming Daguan Park offers a picturesque landscape that looks like a painting. As you walk through the park, you'll be captivated by beautifully arranged sculptures and colorful flowers. Taking a break in the cool shade of the pavilions fills you with a sense of leisure. Following the walking paths, you'll come across a cloud bridge that gracefully curves over the water, offering an impressive view of the lake from above. One of the highlights of the park is the opportunity to leisurely float on a boat across the lake, enjoying the surrounding scenery. The harmony of flowers, bridges, distant mountains, and the sky viewed from the boat gives a sense of timeless tranquility. The serene and quiet moments experienced on the boat, gliding smoothly over the water, are special and hard to find in the bustling city.

Kunming Daguan Park's lake and walking paths naturally calm your mind as you stroll along them. The trees by the lakeside reflect on the water, creating a peaceful scene, and the gentle ripples on the surface, stirred by a light breeze, mirror the surroundings like a perfect reflection. The walking paths around the lake are well-maintained while preserving their natural beauty, making it an ideal place to take a leisurely walk and enjoy the tranquility. As you walk along the paths, you'll find spots to sit and rest or take photos, making it perfect for pausing to gaze at the lake and spend some time. The sight of Taihua Mountain across the lake feels like it's beckoning from afar, showcasing the harmony between nature and humanity. The sound of birds and the breeze throughout the walk provides a healing experience, helping you forget the stress of urban life.

Strolling through Kunming's Daguan Park feels like taking a journey through time. The park is imbued with traces of the Qing Dynasty and cultural heritage, seamlessly blending with nature, making it a living history book. Especially when you climb up to Daguan Pavilion and gaze at Dianchi Lake, the endless waves of the lake bring peace to your mind, and the distant Taihua Mountain appears mysteriously like an ink painting. As you walk through the park, the well-maintained flowers and lush trees enrich your eyes and soul, and the small bridges and pavilions scattered throughout provide perfect spots to pause and rest. Observing the couplets and steles left by historical figures, you can trace their footsteps and immerse yourself in the charm of this park where the past and present blend together, feeling as if you've escaped the noise of the world. Daguan Park is also a fantastic place for photography. The various landscapes created by light and shadow offer new scenes every time you lift your camera. The views of Dianchi Lake and Taihua Mountain, as well as the humble pavilions and bridges within the park, and the vibrant scenery created by the flowers of all seasons, are perfect for capturing in photos. If you're planning a trip to Kunming, I highly recommend taking a leisurely stroll in Daguan Park to enjoy the harmony of nature and history. The serene lake views you'll encounter in this tranquil atmosphere will be an unforgettable experience.
