On the evening of July 19th at 8:00 PM, China Central Television (CCTV)'s Comprehensive Channel broadcasted the Kunming episode of "Urban Charm Record," a large-scale cultural series. Host Zhang Shuyue, along with experts, scholars, and actors forming the "Fenghua Team," embarked on an 86-minute lyrical journey accompanied by the moving melodies of the Nie Er Symphony Orchestra. They immersed themselves in the experience of dancing with seagulls by Dianchi Lake and the eternal spring amidst flowers, personally feeling the essence of "a way of life called Yunnan."

In the program, the "Fenghua Team" boarded the Spring City's limited-edition "Music Flower Bus" and embarked on a treasure hunt adventure at the Yunnan Provincial Museum. They traveled past Cuihu (Green Lake), described by writer Wang Zengqi as "the eyes of Kunming," experienced the currently popular "Coffee Walk," and engaged in a meditative contemplation amidst the rain at the site of the former National Southwestern Associated University – a moment transcending time.

 The program focused on Dianchi Lake, Kunming's most brilliant ecological jewel. As the bus entered the most beautiful lakeside road, the scenery depicted in the "Longest Couplet in the World" from Daguan Pavilion reappeared. This "Plateau Pearl" has maintained Class IV water quality throughout the entire lake for seven consecutive years. Rare species like Ottelia acuminata and Sinocyclocheilus grahami (golden-line barbel fish) have returned, and the beautiful scenes of "fragrant rice paddies encircling the shores, endless sunlit sands, summer lotuses, and spring willows" are gradually unfolding.

The 108-kilometer Dianchi Greenway connects 36 rivers, 58 wetlands, and 46 beautiful villages. This open "Jade Necklace" links mountains, waters, culture, and humanity, connecting people to a better life. Citizens and tourists cycling along its paths experience the truth that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." They immerse themselves in "dancing with seagulls by Dianchi Lake" and enjoy the "eternal spring amidst flowers." This is tangible nostalgia, poetry, and distant horizons made accessible.

The program highlighted Kunming's unique element: flowers. "Flowers bloom incessantly throughout spring's four seasons." Using flowers as a medium, Kunming's urban charm shines brilliantly and colorfully; using flowers as a brush, it paints a picture of multi-ethnic coexistence. From the Nationalities Villages to Dounan Flower Market and the China-Laos Railway, within every unfolding petal, a new era's "silk road blossoms" are written.

The program also focused on the Kunming Dounan Flower Market, Asia's largest fresh-cut flower trading center. With the capacity reflected in the saying "Out of ten flowers sold nationwide, seven come from Dounan," it has become a vital global floral trade hub. Behind the annual trade volume of 14.176 billion stems and a transaction value of 11.574 billion yuan lies technological innovation and a global cold chain logistics network, making "Yunnan Flowers" (like carnations, red roses, etc.) a romantic link connecting the world. 

 The program paid special attention to the development of the China-Laos Mohan-Boten Economic Cooperation Zone. As China's only provincial capital city with a border and a regional central city facing South and Southeast Asia, Kunming, after taking administrative charge of Mohan Town, innovated a "city drives the border" mechanism. It has built six modern border prosperity villages, where collective village economies have grown by up to nearly tenfold, solidifying the development concept that "prosperous borders mean stable frontiers." 

The final stop of the "Music Flower Bus" was the training base of Kunming Railway Vocational Technical College. Here, the "Fenghua Team" chatted with international students about heartwarming stories along the China-Laos Railway. The journey showcased Kunming's transformation from a "remote frontier city" to an "international reception hall," with "Yunnan Flowers" further spreading their fragrance along the Belt and Road. 

As of July 7, the China-Laos Railway, often called the "Steel Silk Road," has operated 78,000 passenger trains, carrying over 55 million travelers, transforming Kunming from a "remote frontier city" to an "international reception hall" and filling it with the colors of spring for the world.
