The old streets of Kunming lit up at dusk—a free attraction

Address, The old street of Kunming, Guanghua Street, starts from Zhengyi Road in the east and stretches to Wuyi Road in the west, with a total length of 435 meters. It is the only remaining old street in Kunming that retains the simple and unsophisticated style of the city. Here, you can taste the authentic small-pot rice noodles, hunt for bizarre and unique Yunnan antiques, and find pharmacies that have been around for a hundred years. Guanghua Street embraces Kunming's past and present with its mottled and quaint charm. Yongdao Street in the old streets of Kunming had the city's earliest flower and bird market as early as 1983. Over time, the vendors who set up iron sheds on Yongdao Street to sell flowers, birds, fish, and insects have made a fortune and expanded outward, successively forming the Jingxing Jewelry and Flower & Bird Market. In addition, these small trades that represent the urban market culture have even extended to Guanghua Street and Wenming Street. Today, the renovation and upgrade of Yongdao Street are complete, and those merchants who once moved out have brought back their upgraded goods to return. 🌈 In the evening, when the lights are just coming on, the old streets of Kunming become even more lively, with a variety of food and goods, and it's more interesting when there are more people.
