#favouriteitinerary Haihong Wetland seamlessly combines natural beauty with urban scenery, creating a truly pleasant and relaxing environment. The integration of lush landscapes with city views makes it an ideal spot for those seeking both tranquility and the vibrancy of urban life. Personal Opinion: In my opinion, Haihong Wetland offers a unique and harmonious experience. The blend of nature and cityscapes provides a refreshing escape while still feeling connected to the urban atmosphere.

Who understands! On December 8, early spring in Kunming, I was surrounded by 10,000 seagulls at Haihong Park! That day, I was "locked" with the seagulls. I walked from Haigeng Dam to Haigeng Park, and finally to Haihong Wetland Park. There were flocks of seagulls flying everywhere along the way. As long as you throw out a little breadcrumb, these little white guys will go crazy and instantly start a carnival. The scene was so shocking! They are like little messengers from Siberia, bringing the most gentle "love letters" from there, crossing countless mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, just to come to Spring City for this romantic date. It was really ceremonial! I only had one thought in my mind at the time: I envy the locals in Kunming! There are so many fun places in Kunming. In addition to the good places to see seagulls mentioned above, Green Lake Park is also a great place. There are different beautiful sceneries in all seasons. The lake is green, the willows on the shore are drooping, and you can also see the ancient pavilions. In winter, there will also be many seagulls coming here to rest. Feeding seagulls and taking a walk by the lake is so pleasant. In terms of food, Kunming is simply a paradise for foodies. Crossing-the-bridge rice noodles is a must-try. The soup is rich and delicious, and the side dishes are rich and varied, with fresh and tender meat slices, juicy vegetables, and smooth and chewy rice noodles. One bite is full of happiness. There are also tofu pudding rice noodles, soft tofu pudding with spicy meat sauce and smooth rice noodles, rich in taste and satisfying every bite. Grilled rice cakes are also not to be missed. Put the rice cakes on the charcoal fire and bake them until they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, then spread the sauce, and add various ingredients such as fried dough sticks and marinated eggs. Take a bite, and it is crispy and soft. There are also some precautions when traveling to Kunming. Don't grab the seagulls with your hands. Although they are cute, they are wild animals, so avoid getting hurt. The ultraviolet rays in Kunming are relatively strong, so no matter what season you come, you must take sun protection measures, and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat. When playing in the scenic area, take care of the environment, do not litter, and keep the scenic area clean and tidy. If you want to go to a crowded place like Green Lake Park, take care of your belongings and don't lose them.

I took the best photos of my life at Kunming Haihong Wetland Park! If you plan to come to Kunming to see seagulls during the Lunar New Year, you must come here! Here is my seagull-watching guide - 📍Address: Haihong Wetland Park, Hubin Road, Kunming, Yunnan 🎫Ticket: 🆓 ⏰Seagull-watching time: 5:30 pm (staff start feeding seagulls at this time) - 🐦Seagull-watching guide 1️⃣It is recommended to come on a sunny day. At sunset, the sunset, the afterglow, the Dianchi Lake, and the seagulls flying all over the sky are so romantic. 2️⃣There are many seagulls, but also many people. Avoid coming on weekends and holidays, and be sure to arrive early. I arrived at around 4 pm and got a spot at 5:30 pm. 3️⃣The best seagull-watching spot is 100 meters before and after the small white bridge, where there is a viewing platform, and the staff will feed the seagulls there. - ⚠️Notes ✅It is recommended to take public transportation to Haihong Wetland Park. There are many cars after seagull-watching, and self-driving is not a good experience. ✅Prepare raincoats and hats, and wear them when you are not taking photos. You will thank me for this.😭 ✅Bring some seagull food. They will ignore you if you don't have food!

📍Haihong Wetland Park We went in the morning, and there were more seagulls between 8:30 and 9:30. If you want to see a large flock of seagulls, we recommend going to the south side of the park. You can take photos on the platform, but be careful! In the afternoon, there are people feeding the seagulls after 5:00 pm, which is when there are the most seagulls, but also the most people. If you want to get to the platform, we recommend arriving at least half an hour early. The seagulls all fly away at around 6:30 pm, but you can watch the sunset over Xishan. - Photo tips📷 1️⃣ In the afternoon, the light will be behind you, so it's best to prepare a reflector or a fill light. We used a flash in the morning. 2️⃣ You can buy some bread to feed the seagulls (they like it more than feed). Transportation🚘 📍 Take a taxi to Haihong Wetland Park. If you drive, you can park (it's not very expensive). - In addition to the seagulls, there are also red leaves in the park🍂 They also make for a great photo!

Haihong Wetland Park on a sunny day, with blue sky, white clouds, western mountains, redwood trees, and seagulls, is a beautiful oil painting. Today, when the temperature is 3℃, we went to check in again; the gray sky, the cold wind, the shivering people, the few seagulls, grinning teeth and taking pictures, the experience was terrible. If you want to take beautiful photos in the future, you should find good weather. With today’s temperature, it’s better to walk around the old streets in the city. At least the food is steaming hot. The food here is all brought in from outside. The clerk said that it can’t be done here. Get angry.

Kunming sunsets: a visual feast In this fast-paced era, we are often troubled by the trivialities of life and find it difficult to take time to appreciate the beauty of nature. However, I recently arranged a trip to the shores of Dianchi Lake in Kunming to experience the sunset there. Although the sunset I had originally expected was not as fiery as I had imagined, its beauty still touched me deeply, and I couldn't help but marvel at the magic and magnificence of nature. The charm of Dianchi Lake Dianchi Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province, attracts countless tourists with its vast lake surface and beautiful natural scenery. The Haigeng Wetland Park on the lakeside is an ideal viewing spot, surrounded by lush trees and rippling water, giving a sense of tranquility and comfort. Here, I found the best spot to capture this beautiful moment. The changing sunset As the sun slowly set, the sky began to be tinged with warm colors. Although today's sunset was not that fiery red, the soft orange, pink, and purple intertwined to form a beautiful picture. Every second, the color of the sky changed quietly, as if telling the story of the sunset. I picked up my camera and tried to capture this ever-changing beauty. The dance of the seagulls In this picture, the seagulls are an indispensable protagonist. They soar freely in the air, echoing the sunset, forming a picture of dynamic and static combination. The seagulls sometimes fly low, sometimes soar high, as if they are having an elegant dance with the sunset. Watching them, a warmth surged in my heart, as if all my troubles disappeared at this moment. The joy of sharing with friends I was not alone here, but with my friends. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset while sharing bits and pieces of our lives. Such moments made me feel the warmth and intimacy between people. Whether it's the little troubles in life or the pressure of work, under this beautiful sunset, they all seem insignificant. Appreciating the beauty of life During this trip, I not only appreciated the sunset in Kunming, but more importantly, it made me re-examine the beauty of life. Every detail of nature is worth savoring, whether it's the warm sunset or the seagulls flying in the air, they are gifts from life. We should learn to slow down and feel the beauty around us, and cherish the time spent with friends. This trip to Kunming made me feel the beauty of the sunset and the true meaning of life. Although the colors of the sunset were not as fiery as I had hoped, its softness and tranquility gave my soul a baptism. In the future, I hope to have more such moments to feel the charm of nature and share the bits and pieces of life. No matter how busy life is, we should always take time to appreciate those seemingly ordinary but precious moments.

🎈As the seasons change, it's time to dance with the seagulls again. This time, I accidentally unlocked a treasure trove of travel photography - Haihong Wetland Park, where the natural beauty is so beautiful that it makes people feel like a moving ecological picture, making people stop in their tracks. ✨Haihong Wetland Park, this secret place located on the north shore of Dianchi Lake, is only two kilometers away from the Haigeng Dam of Dianchi Lake. Walking into this winter picture, I was instantly shocked by the scenery in front of me. The water pine forest, which changes with the seasons, shows a different style in the winter sun. The colorful leaves, the blue Dianchi Lake, and the flying white gulls complement each other, forming a breathtaking natural landscape. 🎉Here, I seem to be in the arms of nature, feeling the tranquility and harmony. The forest bridges, wooden walkways, viewing platforms, and other facilities in the park add a lot of fun to my travel photography trip. The rich entertainment projects such as parent-child fishing, fish touching, and grass camping also make this place an excellent choice for family outings. 🏃‍♂️On December 29, 2024, the grand SCO Kunming Marathon event will be held, and the hotel's location is perfect (this four-star Days Wyndham is well-equipped, the buffet breakfast is well-balanced, and the hygiene is what I want to praise), the stadium is within easy reach, as if within reach. Just gently push open the window, the athletes' vigorous posture will leap into view, running hard on the track, their tenacity and courage, like a blazing flame, instantly ignited my inner passion. What's more, the hotel is now full of young athletes, and I met them twice at the elevator entrance, and the youthful atmosphere made me feel like I was back in my youth, and my heart was surging. (I heard that I will live for a long time~~~) ✨On the track, cheers and cheers are heard one after another, and the whole city is immersed in a passion and joy of sports. I stood in front of the window, capturing these moving scenes with my camera, and couldn't help but sigh: Kunming is really a city that loves life! ‼Here, whether it is the dancing of seagulls or the passionate running of marathons, people can feel the vitality and beauty of life.

There is a colorful redwood forest 🍂 And a romantic flock of Siberian seagulls 🕊 You can't miss this place when you travel to Kunming 🎈Park address: Kunming Haihong Wetland Park 🕰Best time to visit: November to December 🏘Tickets: Free (boating in the redwood forest is required) 📸Photo tips: There are more people on holidays or weekends, so it is recommended to travel at off-peak times. The sunset 🌅 is earlier in winter, so it is better to take photos between 4 and 5 pm! This place is in the middle of the redwood forest 🍂 and the park's Haigeng. Generally, anyone who has been to Haihong Wetland Park can see it (but sometimes you may miss it!) The weather is important for taking photos. The redwood trees are beautiful on sunny days, probably because the sun 🌞 is the best filter for photos (in my opinion)! If you come here, you might as well walk a little further. You can see the seagulls 🕊 flying all over the sky by the Haigeng. Interacting (feeding) and taking photos with the seagulls is also a must! 🌊Park suggestions: If you like to visit parks, you can stroll around. The scenery and atmosphere are very good! The temperature difference between day and night in Kunming is relatively large, so it is recommended to bring some thick clothes to keep warm!

Dali is popular because of the beauty of Erhai Lake. In comparison, Kunming seems a little lonely because Dianchi Lake is not attractive enough. In recent years, Kunming has become a transit station for tourists traveling to Yunnan. However, after years of management and construction, Dianchi Lake has become more and more beautiful. Not only has the water quality improved, but the surrounding landscape has also been greatly improved. Various wetland parks are breathtaking, attracting more and more tourists. When you visit Dianchi Lake, you must visit the surrounding wetland parks.

Feeding Tips 1. **Special Seagull Food**: It is recommended to buy special seagull food for feeding, and avoid using bread, biscuits, and other human food to avoid affecting the health of seagulls. 2. **Moderate Feeding**: Do not overfeed to prevent seagulls from losing their migratory instincts due to overeating. 3. **Keep a Distance**: Try to keep a certain distance from seagulls, avoid touching them directly with your hands, and respect the living habits of wild animals. ### 4. Photography Equipment Suggestions 1. **Telephoto Lens**: To capture the moments of seagulls flying or foraging, a telephoto lens is essential. 2. **High-Speed Shutter**: Use a high-speed shutter to freeze the movement of seagulls in flight and take clear photos. 3. **Morning and Evening Light**: Use natural light in the morning and evening to take softer and more layered photos.

On a rare day off, I went to see the seagulls alone. The weather was nice, the scenery was nice, and I sat there in a daze for a long time, blowing the wind for a long time. I'm starting to look forward to autumn in Kunming 🍁 It's almost the season for seagulls to migrate... When autumn comes, take someone you like ✨ Go to Kunming to chase a seagull dance at sunset... 📷 Location: Haihong Wetland Park

💙 You must visit Kunming in winter! Every year from November to March, tens of thousands of seagulls fly here from Siberia, it's so amazing! 💙 Just came back from feeding seagulls in Kunming, this trip was so so so surprising! I want to share with you the 3 places I've been to feed seagulls~ - Observation spots: 1️⃣ Haigeng Dam ⏰Best viewing time: 8:30-11:00 ⚠️Make sure to go before 10:30 in the morning! Starting from noon, the seagulls gradually float on the lake surface and don't fly up. There are so so so many people watching seagulls here!! If you can, try to come earlier~ 🍞There are many vendors selling small loaves of bread here, 5 yuan/loaf, don't pay more! The seagulls here love these small loaves the most. 2️⃣ Haihong Wetland Park ⏰Best viewing time: 16:30-18:30 ⚠️There are a lot of seagulls during this time! They come in flocks! But the wind is super strong!! You can clearly feel a flock of seagulls flying over, and that's the best time to feed them. 🍞Here they only sell seagull feed, 10 yuan for three small bags, which lasts a long time. If you're not afraid of seagulls landing on your hand, just hold the feed in your hand (this makes it easier to feed). If you're afraid of being pecked by seagulls, you can feed them like I did, just holding up the bag. 3️⃣ Cuihu Park: Not recommended if you're just looking to see seagulls, as the seagulls here are well-fed and lazily lie on the water surface, occasionally flying up one or two. They only come over to eat when the vendors selling seagull feed shout a few times. - 📸 Photography strategy with seagulls: ✔️Keep your hand high! Don't shake it at all!! Especially when a flock of seagulls flies over, if you move your hand slightly, they will fly away ✔️Seagulls in the evening are easier to feed and are not afraid of people compared to during the day ✔️Seagulls eat the feed, small loaves of bread, biscuits...🍞 sold at the scenic spots, you just have to keep holding it up!! You can't just lift it and put it down, once a seagull comes to eat for the first time, countless more will come. Some people also prepare raisins, fried dough sticks, fries... I think there's no need, just buy at the scenic spot ✔️When a flock of seagulls flies over but doesn't come to eat your feed, you can throw a handful of feed to attract them. ✔️There are many professional photographers, they make 'ou-ou-ou' sounds to attract seagulls. If you ask them to take photos, they will enthusiastically take many for you, but it's 20 yuan per photo, I don't think it's necessary😅 These photos are all taken by myself

Please follow if you appreciate the effort of creation.😏 Kunming is a good place for walking dogs, picnicking, and camping. It's also great for walking children and running. 🤜Introduction to Haigeng Wetland Park🤛 🤏The closest wetland park to the main urban area of Kunming, located on the north shore of Dianchi Lake, is very large with lush vegetation and a beautiful environment. The park is planted with a large number of metasequoias, which present different beautiful scenes in all four seasons. In autumn and winter, as the temperature gradually drops, the metasequoia forest slowly turns from yellow to red, forming a beautiful red forest landscape. In winter, you can enjoy the metasequoias, watch red-billed gulls, and admire the sunset over Dianchi Lake. You can also row under the trees, where the setting sun's afterglow filters through the forest and sparkles on the water surface, creating ripples and a breathtaking view. The metasequoia forest, as a symbolic vegetation of the wetland, is lush in spring and summer, and fiery red in autumn and winter, offering beautiful scenery throughout the year and has become the most beautiful scenery on the north shore of Dianchi Lake.👣 🗺️Address: Haigeng Wetland, East Ring Lake Road, Dianchi National Tourism Resort, Kunming (about 50 meters southwest of Kunming Dianchi Water Affairs Co., Ltd.) 🚪Admission: Free🆓 🚗Transportation 🚘By car: Navigate to Haigeng Wetland Park. 🚌By bus: K31👉Huibin Road Station, walk 109 meters to arrive. 106👉Haigeng Park East Gate Station, walk 919 meters to arrive. 🚇By subway: Line 5👉Fubao Station Exit B, walk 1.2 kilometers to arrive. 🚴🏻‍♀️Bicycle rental available. ⛺Tent pitching area available (to the left after entering from the Northeast Gate 1). 🕊️Feeding seagulls (from mid-November to around March of the following year). 🐦Bird watching: You can see more than 20 kinds of rare and endangered birds such as red-billed gulls, white spoonbills, black-necked cranes, white cranes, mandarin ducks, and doves in and around Haigeng Wetland.

Boating🚢 is no longer available! 🌺If you come to Haigeng in spring🌺 You will be greeted with a view full of lush greenery, various well-known and unknown flowers competing to bloom. At this time, the metasequoia leaves have just fallen, and new ones are growing, from bare branches to gradually lush and thriving, showing vigorous vitality that amazes people. In this season, despite the strong winds and waves, you can still see seagulls, and the Sleeping Beauty of the Western Hills is clearly visible at a glance. 🌹If you come to Haigeng in summer🌹 The breeze is gentle, and the lake water is cool, making it an excellent place to escape the heat. Under the lush shade of trees, you can sit at will and enjoy a day of tranquility. The wind from Dianchi Lake is cool and moist, blowing away the heat, and waiting for the sunset is also a super romantic thing. The sunset is unobstructed, falling over the mountain tops, and taking photos with the sunset as the background by the lake is atmospheric. 🍂If you come to Haigeng in autumn🍂 In autumn, especially in late autumn, the metasequoias in Haigeng Wetland gradually turn red, 'waiting for the mountains to be covered in red, and the layered forests are all dyed.' This line of poetry that comes to mind is very fitting. The beauty is breathtaking, and rowing a glass-bottom boat through it is still a shock to the marvel of nature. 🌨️If you come to Haigeng in winter🌨️ The sky is clear, and the metasequoias are intermittently hidden among the green trees. Seagulls also arrive one after another. Compared to the crowded Haigeng Dam, Haigeng Wetland allows for closer contact with seagulls, making it a very suitable spot for watching them. However, remember that it gets dark early in winter, so come early.
