Visiting the Haigeng Dam to feed seagulls in winter is a must-do for many tourists in Kunming. If you don't like the sight of people's heads flying with the seagulls, then go to Laoyuhe Wetland Park. There are no railings, so you can get infinitely close to the water. Seagulls skim over the water surface non-stop, and when someone feeds them, they flock and circle around people to eat. Away from the water, there are few visitors. You can walk and stop as you like under the sunshine. The water redwoods are golden under the sunlight, and the sunlight casts mottled shadows through the branches, as if this scenery belongs to you alone. Occasionally, visitors paddle transparent boats among the shadows of the water redwoods, and then you hear the slight sound of water, with the light and shadow shaking and following the boat. According to the introduction, the park also has a tulip exhibition🌷 every February. Unfortunately, we didn't go at the right time, but seeing the colorful water redwoods is also absolutely beautiful. There is a large parking lot at the entrance of the park, which costs 10 yuan, and there is no admission fee. It is convenient for both self-driving and public transportation.

Highly recommend Kunming Laoyuhe Wetland Park as a great spot for watching the sunset and taking photos, the key point is there's no admission fee

Kunming Tulip Appreciation Tour! Next to Dianchi Lake, Laoyu River Wetland Park is home to a sea of 1 million tulip flowers, offering a picturesque and beautiful scenery. If you love flower viewing, you definitely shouldn't miss this. After visiting the Green Lake Park in the city center and admiring the beautiful scenery of 200,000 tulips, I heard that Laoyu River Wetland Park by Dianchi Lake is also in full bloom with 1 million tulips. So, an impromptu Laoyu River flower viewing trip began. 🌷 Tulip Exhibition: ✅ This exhibition is the ninth tulip exhibition at Laoyu River Wetland Park. The exhibition is set on the right side of the main entrance of Laoyu River Park, covering an area of nearly fifteen acres. As you enter, you are greeted by a vast sea of tulips, truly a picturesque and beautiful landscape. ✅ The tulip exhibition features high-quality bulbs imported from the Netherlands, with nearly 1 million tulips of 22 varieties planted. The flowering period is divided into early, middle, and late stages, with common colors such as red, pink, yellow, white, and bi-colors, including classic and new varieties such as 'Conception's Mark', 'Flying Dragon', 'Yellow Hydrangea', 'Mermaid Island', and 'Burgundy Lace' with single, double, and fringed petals. ✅ Single-petaled tulips are simple and elegant with beautiful colors; double-petaled tulips are plump and bright; fringed tulips are unique and distinctive. ✅ Unlike previous years' tulip exhibitions, this year's exhibition, in the Year of the Dragon, is planted according to the different colors, flowering periods, and plant heights of the tulip varieties, ensuring a reasonable mix of plants to achieve staggered heights and orderly flowering, extending the overall viewing period. ✅ Entering the tulip exhibition area from the entrance, the tulips under the warm sun of the Spring City show their unique charm and rhythm, as well as their vigorous vitality. The tulip scenery is so beautiful that it's irresistible, and for tourists who love flowers and photography, this is a great spot for you to check in. 🚩 Address & Transportation: 🏞️ Address: Laoyu River Wetland Park is located next to Dianchi Lake, right by the Huanhu East Road in Chenggong District, Kunming. 🚗 Transportation: It's about 40 kilometers from Kunming's main urban area to Laoyu River Wetland Park by car. 🚌 Public Transport: You can take Kunming Metro Line 1 to Daxuecheng South Station, then take bus 222 to Zhonghe Village Station, and walk 40 meters to reach the destination. 📌 Practical Tips: ◆ Since Laoyu River Wetland Park is quite far from the city center, it's recommended for those who drive to Laoyu River to see the tulips to also visit nearby places to see the rapeseed flowers. For example: the thousand-acre rapeseed flowers in Jiangwei Village of Chenggong, the rapeseed flowers and ancient village of Wolong Ancient Fishing Village, and the rapeseed flowers and green train scenery of Shadi Village. ◆ For tourists who love travel photography, it's recommended to go early in the morning when the light is soft for better photo effects. ◆ For a spring flower viewing trip in Kunming, there are also places like Green Lake Tulips and the 'Yuantong Cherry Tide' at Yuantong Mountain Zoo.

The wetland is very green and pleasing to the eye, with reeds interspersed among them, swaying gently.

There is also a very small beach (covered with pebbles), which is very photogenic. Feeding Seagulls Spring in Kunming is really too beautiful!!
