🏛️ Attraction Overview

Cuihu Park is the “green emerald” of downtown Kunming and is open to the public free of charge. Large flocks of red-billed gulls gather here even in winter. Scattered around the park are the Yunnan Military Academy and several small museums. Locals come here to walk their birds, play chess, and sing—it’s the best place to experience Kunming’s laid-back lifestyle.

✨ Why It’s Worth a Visit

You can experience Kunming’s laid-back lifestyle even outside of winter. Watch locals walk their birds, sing Yunnan opera, and dance in the squares—this is the real Kunming.
