The stunning street views of Kunming in spring make people linger and forget to return
Kunming in spring, the city known as 'Spring City', seems to be forever immersed in gentle sunshine and intoxicating fragrance of flowers. Wandering through the streets and alleys of Kunming, you will find that spring here has a unique charm, as if the air is filled with a vibrant breath.
In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight falls on the surface of Cuihu Park's lake, the water suddenly looks like it's sprinkled with a layer of gold dust, shimmering and extremely beautiful. The willow trees by the lake sprout tender green branches, swaying gently, as if to greet the passing visitors. The early birds sing melodiously on the branches, intertwining with the soft breathing of people exercising and the melodious music of Tai Chi, forming a harmonious picture of the morning light.
Walking along Cuihu East Road, you will soon arrive at the famous Dongfeng Square. This place was once the commercial center of old Kunming and is still bustling today. The fountains on the square dance to the rhythm of the music, attracting many children to play and frolic. The surrounding old buildings and modern skyscrapers complement each other, telling the story of the city's historical changes.
Continuing on, passing through the bustling Nanping Pedestrian Street, you will find yourself in a neighborhood filled with a strong local atmosphere—the Jingxing Flower and Bird Market.

Walking in the crowded alleys, smelling the fragrance of fresh flowers and various delicious foods, listening to the cries of the vendors and the laughter of tourists, it feels like you have returned to the old times.
In the afternoon, why not visit the Kunming World Expo Garden located in the city center. Here, the horticultural essence of the world is gathered, and strolling among them is like visiting beautiful gardens around the globe. At this time, Kunming is in the midst of spring, with countless flowers blooming competitively, cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, tulips... They sway gently in the warm spring breeze, as beautiful as poetry and painting.
In the evening, climb up to the Western Hills to overlook the entire city of Kunming, and you will see a magnificent scene: the sparkling Dian Lake under the sunset, the Sleeping Beauty of the Western Hills lying quietly by the lake, and the entire city of Kunming shrouded in a golden glow. This peaceful and beautiful scene makes one want to cherish it forever.
As night falls and the lights come on, the street scene of Kunming changes again. Neon lights flicker, and the traffic is busy, but it still retains that unique tranquility and serenity. Walking on such streets, with the spring breeze on your face, even the tiredness of the heart is released.
The street views of Kunming in spring are like a flowing painting, changing colors and postures every moment. Whether it is the long history or the modern prosperity, the city always greets every visitor with its most beautiful side.

During the Anti-Japanese War, there were as many as 48 financial institutions in the district centered on Nanping Street, earning it the nickname "Wall Street" of Kunming. It was the financial, commercial, and entertainment center of old Kunming.

Strolling down Nanping Street, one of the highlights is the colorful flower beds filled with vibrant flowers that line the street. Kunming enjoys spring-like weather all year round, with various flowers blooming throughout the year, which also gives the city its unparalleled name as the "City of Flowers".
Nanping Pedestrian Street is 685 meters long from east to west, forming a cross with the north-south Justice Road. At the crossroad's square, there is a ground relief and a dry fountain, and to the south of the square is the famous Zhong'ai Fang, one of the three lanes of the Pinzi Fang. The commercial buildings on both sides of Nanping Street were built between the 1920s and 1930s and the beginning of this century, with a sense of historical weight.
The entire pedestrian district is paved with square bluestones and other stones, with 5 sets of situational sculptures along the line. At the western entrance of the pedestrian street, there is a "Daily Gold" sign, and at the eastern entrance, there is a "Straw Hat as a Pot Cover" fountain landscape.
