Departing from Hanoi, after just over 2 hours, we arrived at Wujiaba Airport of Kunming. If you have traveled to many parts of China, when you come to Kunming you will find its own specialties.
Kunming Tourism: The city of flowers and rocks
Welcome to Kunming!
Kunming is located at an altitude of 1,900 meters above sea level. The city has 2,400 years of history and is the cultural, economic and transportation center of Yunnan province. If traveling from Vietnam by road, you will pass the Ha Khau border gate (Lao Cai), the road is of very good quality, after only 10 hours, you will arrive

.
Because it is a highland area, Kunming's climate is very temperate and cool. Winter is not as cold as Beijing, summers are not hot, making people feel comfortable and comfortable. That is why Kunming was named the Geneva of the East
When I entered Kunming City, I reminded my friend that it was no exaggeration to say "this is the city of flowers".



Flowers on the fence of the street, flowers planted in the median of the street. On the pavement, in the squares of shade trees, people also leave small flower pots with very colorful colors. Many banners and cubes are arranged with fake flower pots, mixed with very sophisticated and vivid flowers.

He took us around the city and introduced "flowers" that have become a key industry in Kunming City.
There are two flower markets in Kunming: the fake flower market and the real flower market. At the real flower market, before 5am, there are many flower containers that are packed and transported by plane to all over China and many countries around the world.
In February, the market is full of flowers From roses, daisies to lilies, tulips, orchids, orchids .



.. with extremely rich colors. I was ecstatic with the lilies of all colors, each branch had at least five flowers, large flowers, thick and fragrant wings, but the price was only 12 yuan. The florist assures us that the flowers can stay fresh for at least 10 days without any special care.
Walking to the Cymbidium, we are more interested in the giant orchid pots, all colors from yellow, pink to white, purple. Small orchid pots cost between 100-200 yuan, while large pots of orchid cost between 1,000 and 2,000 yuan.

However, compared to the flower pots sold at Buoi Street or Quang An flower market, the flower pots in Kunming are really… worth the money!
The most famous sight in Kunming is Thach Lam.



Upon arriving here, Kunming tourists will be overwhelmed when they see two bright red Thach Lam engraved on the rocky mountain in front of them. This image reminds me of the rock that Tang Tang exposed the Buddhist scriptures on the way back.
Thach Lam means "Forest stone" (It is not exaggerated to have such a name!). In the midst of the plateau, there are mountains of rocky mountains that are close to many angles like forests. The cliffs were close together like a wall that blocked people's footsteps. Weaving in the middle of a maze of stone, the overlapping rocks are sometimes like swords reaching straight up to the sky, some rocks are as flat as a small treason, but we feel too small in nature. majestic.
There wouldn't be any artificial power that could lay thousands of piled up rocks like here.



Legend has it that this is where Sun Wukong was held for 500 years. It is no coincidence that many episodes of Tay Du Ky were filmed in Thach Lam.

Right at the foot of the mountain is a clear blue lake for carp. After more than 2 hours of exhausting climbing, guests can rest on the wooden benches in Thuy Dinh house, enjoy the fresh air and feed the fish. With just a few yuan for a package of food, the herd of pink carp, yellow carp pulls under your feet, each one gets fat and round.



The food lady told us to have a baby weighing nearly ten kilograms. It is true that doing Chinese tourism, selling food while raising fish!
Another location in Kunming that is also very interesting is Dien Tri Lake. This is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan province, nicknamed "Vien Minh Chau shines on the plateau". The special feature of the lake is the shelter of seagulls flying from Russia to avoid the cold in winter.
If you travel to Kunming in February, you will feel like you are standing on the beach with seagulls flying in the sky. They stand on the wall around the lake, perched on the shoulders of the candy sellers and ready to swoop down and peck the food in your hands. There is also a growing service for seagulls around the lake. Many couples sprinkle bird food in their hands.



Its so romantic!

If you are a culinary connoisseur, a specialty of Kunming also makes you very addicted, it is Mushroom Hotpot. Stepping into the mushroom hotpot restaurant, we will feel dizzy when listening to the waitresses instructing how to use and use food..
