Kunming is the first choice for a stroll with kids! It's both a botanical garden and a forest park

Where is the must-visit place in Kunming with kids? I think it's the botanical garden! It not only fully leverages the advantages and characteristics of Kunming but also satisfies the common and ongoing demand for outdoor and interesting activities when strolling with kids. Adults can also gain a lot of knowledge, and it's not boring at all! Essential tip: Book a guided tour at the Fuligong Palace via the official WeChat account 1-2 days in advance! The whole tour lasts about 1.5 hours, covering the main greenhouses and exhibition halls; a group consists of dozens of people, each equipped with a Bluetooth headset, so you won't miss out on the explanation due to distance, but it's true that because of the small space and the crowd, it's often hard to see where the guide is pointing with the laser pen. The tour is very informative, with 80% of the content being areas previously unknown, but the amount you can remember is still very limited, perfectly illustrating the phrase 'impressively incomprehensible'. The 1.5-hour tour is already quite long, but both adults and children still feel it's too fast to keep up with, which shows how rich the content is. As the children grow up, I think we will still come back if we have the chance. Price: The guided tour is 80 RMB per adult; 40 RMB per child. You can only visit the greenhouses with the tour group, not on your own. The botanical garden ticket is 10 RMB per person. Time should be well arranged, with only one session around 10:30 in the morning; two sessions in the afternoon; the specific time is subject to the display on the reservation page. What surprised me is that, in addition to viewing plants, the botanical garden also has a very large forest hiking route. Amidst the towering straight plateau forests, with rich plant shapes and colors, it's very comfortable for kids to run and walk around, truly a forest oxygen bar on the plateau! I feel like I could come here every day and never get tired of it.
