Some information about the park:
“The park consists of seven tourist areas, including Jinhuapu, Louwailou, Mindscape Garden, East Garden, Yu Manor, Lu Garden and New West Garden.
Divided by style of different ages, Daguan Park can be classified into three regions – the "historic garden" that is made up of the Jinwupu, the Louwailou, the Mindscape Garden and the East Garden and features in the style of Ming and Qing dynasties; the "south garden" that contains the Yu Manor and Lu Garden and features the confluent beauty of Chinese and western gardening popular in China between 1912 and 1949; and the "west garden".

No need to go to the Haigeng Dam to feed the seagulls anymore—the Daguan Park has fewer people, free admission, and better scenery (Part 1)
Address: No. 284, Daguan Road, Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province
To implement the 'Several Opinions on Further Strengthening Urban Planning and Construction Management Work' issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, which call for 'enhancing the function of green spaces to serve the daily activities of residents, so that citizens can see and be close to green spaces near their homes. Urban parks should be open to residents free of charge in principle,' the Kunming Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have arranged and deployed reforms to the institutional system of 7 municipal parks. These reforms include integrating park operating expenses into the fiscal public budget expenditures, completely changing the 'self-sustaining' management model of parks, and promoting the return of parks to their public welfare nature.
Starting from October 1, 2022, Daguan Park, Yu Garden, Jindian Scenic Area, Black Dragon Pool Park, Xihua Park, Tanhua Temple Park, and Suburban Park, the 7 municipal parks in Kunming, will be open to the public free of charge.
Just like that, Daguan Park has become free of charge. I had been here on a business trip in 2018 when there was still an entrance fee, and I applaud the government's action.
In recent years, feeding seagulls in winter has become an internet sensation. Daguan Park is located on the shores of Dianchi Lake, kilometers away, where there are also many seagulls.
🌈The photos were all taken between 9:30 and 10:30 in the morning, which is the best time for effects and when there are fewer people.

Daguanlou Yu Garden
The Gothic building facing the south gate of Daguanlou, the 'Jinhou Building', is the most famous building in Yu Garden! It was named after the character of Yu Chengqing's grandfather, Mr. Si Enxi, who was the mayor of Kunming during the Republic of China. It has now been transformed into a quiet and elegant Tongxin Hao teahouse.
Another distinctive building in Yu Garden is the stone plaque inscribed with 'Seeking Fragrance in the Depths' by the calligrapher and painter Zhao Heqing.
The tranquil Yu Garden is not very crowded, forming a stark contrast with the bustling Daguan Park. Most people are unaware of its glorious history; only those who have visited and walked on its land, understanding its past, can truly appreciate its pride! This is the place where the resistance against foreign cigarettes began, where the 'Great Chongjiu' was initiated, and where the first steps were taken to strengthen and enlarge Yunnan's cigarette industry!

Kunming, a romantic haven defined by cascading wisteria waterfalls
Spring is the season when flowers bloom in profusion, and the imagery of spring is naturally vibrant and colorful. Among them, there is a refreshing shade of purple that does not compete with the multitude of flowers, yet possesses a unique charm. It is the wisteria. The most beautiful time is April in the human world.
Strolling through Daguan Park, with the spring warmth and bright scenery, a tree of light purple 'mist and clouds' comes into view, adding a touch of gentleness to the spring light before your eyes. Wisteria has a wonderful quality of both strength and grace: the vines are robust, the branches are slender and graceful, clusters and bunches, smiling and growing freely in the spring. It exudes an innate softness and elegance, three parts beauty, three parts poetry, three parts artistic conception, and one part perfect harmony of blooming at will, even the air is filled with a sweet fragrance, intoxicating those who breathe it in. It's the varying shades of purple, seemingly in motion, laughing, and ceaselessly growing.
This is a kind of emotion stirred by spring, coming from deep within the heart. It is like spring itself, omnipresent, silently nurturing, healing us, inspiring us, as if something good is about to happen at any moment. The initial flourish of wisteria signifies a future full of hope.

There's no need to go to the Haigeng Dam to feed the seagulls—the Daguan Park has fewer people, free admission, and even more beautiful scenery (Part 2)
Address: No. 284, Daguan Road, Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province
Daguan Pavilion is famous at home and abroad for its long couplet, and it ranks alongside the Yellow Crane Tower, Yueyang Tower, and Tengwang Pavilion as one of the four great towers.
Located in the southwest of Kunming City, Daguan Pavilion overlooks the northern shore of Dianchi Lake's Caohai and faces the majestic Mount Taihua across the water, also known as 'Jinhua Pu'.
During the Qianlong era, the scholar Sun Ranweng climbed the Daguan Pavilion and was so inspired that he boldly wrote a couplet of one hundred and eighty characters, vividly presenting the scenery of Dianchi Lake and the thousands of years of Yunnan's history to the world.
As soon as the couplet was released, it caused a sensation in all directions, and people competed to recite it, making it famous all over the world, and it was praised as 'the number one couplet in the country'.
The five hundred li of Dianchi Lake rush to the eyes, with open shores and boundless joy. Look: the divine steeds gallop to the east, the spiritual ceremonies to the west, the winding paths to the north, and the white gauze flying to the south. Why shouldn't poets and men of letters choose this place to ascend and admire? Take advantage of the Crab Isle and Snail Island, dress up in the wind and mist; even more, dot the pear heavens and reed lands with a touch of emerald feathers and rosy clouds, do not waste: the fragrant rice all around, the sunny sands of a thousand acres, the lotus of nine summers, the willows of three springs.
The events of thousands of years weigh on the heart, lift a glass to the void, and sigh, 'What heroes are left in this tumultuous world?' Think: the Han dynasty's tower ships, the Tang's iron pillars, the Song's jade axes, the Yuan's leather bags. Great heroes and their magnificent achievements have exhausted the strength of moving mountains. Even the beaded curtains and painted rafters cannot compare to the evening rain and morning clouds; even the broken steles and remnants of tablets are all entrusted to the twilight smoke and setting sun. Only to win: the sparse tolling of bells, the lights of fishing boats on the river, the rows of autumn geese, a pillow of clear frost.

🌺 As soon as I stepped into Yunnan Daguan Park, I was immediately attracted by this colorful sea of flowers. Various colors of flowers blooming in the sun, emitting a fragrance, I took out my camera to capture this beautiful moment.
🌿 The park's lake is my favorite spot. The lake is green as jade, rippling with slight ripples. The lake is full of lotus leaves, and various lotus flowers are dotted on the lotus leaves, each one is full and delicate.
💫 In the park, I also saw a Ferris wheel and many ancient buildings. This trip to Yunnan Daguan Park was really an unforgettable experience. I left a lot of beautiful photos, especially the lotus in the lake, which made me linger.

Checking in at Daguan Park in Kunming, the weather is really nice, suitable for taking pictures
Watching seagulls at Daguan Park is a wonderful experience. Seagulls not only dance on the lake, but also fly to the glazed tiles on the rockeries and pavilions, and the Han white jade railings on the buildings to rest. They bathe in the sun, showing the charm of nature. The seagulls skimming over the water is a major attraction of Daguan Park. Watching the seagulls fly freely in the park, as if in a pure and beautiful world, is refreshing. If you haven't experienced such a beautiful scene, you might as well take a walk in Daguan Park, feel the charm of the seagulls, I believe you will be reluctant to leave. Daguan Park

Food Passport
Kunming, a season of spring, has a pleasant climate, attracting many tourists to come to the winter, and even the red-billed gull is attracted by the climate of Kunming. From the winter after the winter to the second year of March, in the Dianchi, Cuihu, Daguan Park and other places in Kunming, flying red-billed gulls can be seen everywhere, becoming a business card in Kunming winter.
Since 1985, the red-billed gull has come to Kunming for the winter, and it is more spectacular year after year. The park is full of scenes where tourists and the red-billed gull live in harmony.
According to research, these red-billed gulls are the farthest from Lake Baikal in Russia, tens of thousands of kilometers from Kunming, and some from Lake Ubudsu in Mongolia and Bosten Lake in Xinjiang, China.
Kunming in winter is mostly sunny and good weather. It is a new choice for winter travel when you come to Kunming to enjoy the sun and see the red-billed gull.
Cuihu Park in the city center is the most visited place and the most famous, but the Grand View Park, which is a little further away from the city center, is also a good place.
Daguan Park has a wide open lake, and the red-billed gull floats on the lake. The Kunming Municipal Government allocates a special fund each year to feed the red-billed gull. These red-billed gulls have no worries and are fat and strong.
There is a booth in the park that sells bread that the red-billed gull likes to eat. Visitors can buy a bag. Just put the bread in the hand and the red-billed gull will fly over and eat.
