What's interesting in downtown Kunming?

1. Cuihu Park: Located in the center of Kunming, Cuihu was originally a part of Dianchi Lake, leaving a clear lake in high-rise buildings due to the drop of water level. Because of the surrounding willows and bamboos, it is pretending to be "Cuihu Park". As the center of Kunming cultural circle, Cuihu connects popular scenic spots including Yunnan University, Wenhua Lane and Zhengyifang. Boating and swimming can be done in the park. In summer, lotus flowers in the garden attract a large number of photographers. Outside the park are shops, teahouses, night markets and bars. As the most popular cultural circle in Kunming, Cuihu has many former residences of celebrities, such as Yuan Jiagu's former residence, Zhu De's former residence and Luhan Mansion. Among them, many old house halls have been transformed into restaurants, such as Shiping Hall, a foreign building, etc. Sitting in them to taste the taste of Yunnan is nostalgic and pleasant.

2. Gull watching in Cuihu: Cuihu is a paradise for red-billed gulls. Every year after winter, this seagull from Siberia will come here to enjoy the sunshine of spring city with people. When you throw gull food at them, groups of white figures fly up and down, and the scenery is spectacular. The red-billed gull stays in Kunming from November to March of the following year. During the day, they will fly to crowded places such as Cuihu and Haigeng Park, but it is difficult to see them at night. To interact with these gulls, you can try to put gull food in your hand or sprinkle it into the air. These bold and lovely seagulls will take the food steadily and quickly.

3. Former site of yunnan military academy: The Army Jiangwu Hall is located on the west side of Cuihu Park, and the orange Republic-style building makes it stand out in the shade. This military academy, which was trained by the Qing government as a "new army", once turned out outstanding generals including Zhu De, Ye Jianying and Lu Han. The whole building adopts the most distinctive building structure of Zouma Corner in Yunnan. The corridor is spacious and connected in a ring, so you can walk around like a small castle. When you walk into the building, you can see the appearance of the old training playground.

4. Yunnan University: Yunnan University has been established for nearly a hundred years, and the campus is full of historical buildings and landscapes full of humanistic atmosphere. Huizeyuan, as a landmark building of Yunda, its typical French-style architecture represents the urban landscape of Kunming in the same period. At the end of the 95-step Longmen Road, there is the spirit of Yunda, which stands for "a hundred schools of thought will benefit the society and the world". The campus also retains the Yunnan Gongyuan, the imperial examination in Ming and Qing Dynasties. You can also see the Yingqiu Courtyard and Zeqing Hall designed and built by Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin. The beauty of Yunda lies in the natural charm brought by Spring City. Every autumn, the ginkgo belt in Wenyuan Building will present an intoxicating golden scene at the first astronomical point. Strolling around the campus, I will meet the lovely squirrels from time to time or feed them.
