On the eastern shore of Dianchi Lake, a cup of premium Yunnan coffee adds a distinctive flavor to the holiday experience. Sixty coffee and food trucks have gathered along the lakeside, bringing local coffee brands together with international flavors. Tastings of premium Yunnan beans invite visitors to explore the rich aromas of one of the world’s major coffee-growing regions.
On the western shore, hot-air balloon rides offer a bird’s-eye view of the lake, while sunset concerts, coffee clusters, and smart food experiences come together to create a laid-back holiday atmosphere.
Meanwhile, in DouNan, Chenggong, known as the “Flower Capital of Asia,” a series of flower-themed events are in full swing, including a flower and food market, the Asian Flower Capital Floral Parade, and a grand street banquet. Hanfu-inspired floral displays and traditional lantern parades add to the festivities, with flowers woven into every part of the experience. Here, visitors can literally “see flowers and taste flowers,” bringing Kunming’s reputation as the “Spring City” vividly to life.
A city where coffee and flowers have become part of everyday life, Kunming is showcasing to the world the distinctive lifestyle captured by the phrase “a way of life called Yunnan.” Here, ecology, industry, and culture come together to create the unique charm of the Spring City, making Kunming an increasingly popular destination for international travelers.
