Mini Holiday Recommendation (Part 2) - The Colorful Kunming Expo Garden
This time, experience the 🎈World Horticultural Exposition Garden, Kunming Expo Garden
One of the must-visit attractions in Kunming, the Expo Garden. However, most tourists think that entering means just strolling around the garden and looking at the various world pavilions, but actually, there's not much to see after the exhibition period ends, as many are no longer open. So why come here? Because it's fun and there's good food!
Play: The most fun part of the Expo Garden itself is the ❣️China Splendid Garden. Don't just look at the exterior, each place you enter is a world of its own, with beautiful scenery at every step, perfect for taking photos.
❣️Inside the Expo Garden, there is the Expo Forest Hot Spring Amusement Park, which I haven't been to personally, as Kunming has so many hot springs and I haven't chosen this one yet.
❣️Kunming Qianxun Mo Wen Hot Spring SPA Hotel, as mentioned before in the guide, has hot springs and SPA, with a superior environment, and is a bit high-end.
❣️Yemu Fushu Coffee Simple Meal, Yemu Fushu is a large woodworking workshop in Kunming, and I often go there to do some woodworking. Friends who like DIY should visit.
❣️❣️Highly recommended is the Zeng Xiaolian Art Museum. First of all, the museum itself is beautiful, and secondly, you can learn about this painter, who is not only an artist but also a botanist, a scientist. I think his works are not only beautiful but also full of the truth of life, and are very worth visiting.
Eat: ❣️Lan Thai Garden·Thai Restaurant, with a super beautiful Thai dining environment, and the taste is also quite good.
Next to the Thai restaurant is ❣️Qianxun Mo Wen, for Japanese cuisine, please see the main page for a detailed introduction.
Drink: ❣️Feng Tang Bu Er Tang, you can tell by the name that it's opened by Feng Tang, located in the Jiangsu Garden Dongwu Xiaozhu, a very elegant courtyard where you can sit and relax.
I personally prefer the ❣️Sichuan Wind Garden for its large bowl tea or roasted tea around the stove, with quiet bamboo forests, pavilions, and waterside pavilions, so comfortable!
For coffee, there's ❣️The Elephant Good at Park Museum Store, where you can take a break and have a coffee to refresh yourself after walking around, which is also nice.
Stay: ❣️He Nian·Mid-Mountain Forest Hotel or the previously mentioned ❣️Kunming Qianxun Mo Wen Hot Spring SPA Hotel are both very good.
The Expo Garden is full of trees, a natural oxygen bar, and needless to say, full of flowers and plants. So friends, when you go there, you should know how to have fun and eat well, and you will definitely be very happy!
It is a food street with flower lights. The flower lights are still good, but there is not much playability, and the ancient style has no substantive reflection. It may be that the time to enter the park is too late. It will only go in at about 9 o'clock, so I didn't see it.
20230203 All Day: 1. The World Horticultural Expo Park is the venue of the 1999 Kunming World Expo. The theme is "Man and Nature - Toward the 21st Century".

The model is the world's first, and it has become a good place for leisure and health, tourism and vacation. There are various activities in the major festival park every year.

The number of words exceeds the limit, continue in the last picture.
This Kunming World Horticultural Expo Park is the place to hold the World Horticultural Expo in 1999. The whole park is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with scattered buildings and magnificent atmosphere. It is the largest and most primitive garden gardening garden in the world.
The Expo Park is very large, the scenery is good, and the gardens of various styles are very beautiful! It's a pity that the time is too short, otherwise you can go shopping all day in it!
The number is unexpected, there are too many people to go in on the first day, and the third day is successful. There are really a lot of snacks.
There are many people, the details of the organization are not well controlled, no one is leading the dance, and the bonfire party is not set up. It is straightforward to mention that the literary and artistic performance is interspersed with the speech and integrated into a certain culture and art.
