Venturing into a Fairy Tale World | The Surprise of Kunming Whale Island

Kunming has so many niche places to explore. This is the real-life version of 'The Whale that Stranded on the Island.' From a distance, the island really looks like a 🐳 swimming in the sea. You don't have to do anything, just quietly watching from the shore is very healing. I've been to many places in Kunming, but this place is very different. Just having Whale Island is enough. ‼️Make sure to go on a good weather day, Dian Lake only looks good when it's clear. Try to wear brightly colored clothes, it makes the photos look better 😭 From November to March next year is the season for watching seagulls. Places to watch seagulls in Kunming: 1⃣️Cuihu, in the city center, convenient transportation and nice environment, with fresh flowers. 2⃣️Haigeng Dam, the place with the most black-headed gulls. 3⃣️Laoyuhe Wetland Park, not only has seagulls but also sunsets. 4⃣️Haiyan Village and Whale Island, Haiyan Village has a popular beach and is also a good place to watch the sunset. 📍Address: Whale Island, Jinning District, Kunming 🧭Navigate to the South Bank Beach Park parking lot of Dian Lake.
