Live Today | Kunming's Top Winter Activities! Includes Seagull Map

🕊️ Filmed in November 2025|Local Hidden Routes + Lesser-Known Secret Spots Fully Revealed 🌟 Must-Visit Spots for Seagull Watching in Kunming 1️⃣ Haigeng Dam · Classic Iconic Scene The "ceiling" of seagull watching in Kunming! Tens of thousands of black-headed gulls circle here. Stand on the dam and scatter some seagull feed to instantly trigger a white storm. After 4 PM, the light softens, making backlit human and seagull silhouettes stunning. → Nearby activities: At the end of the dam is the "Seagull Post Office" where you can get a commemorative stamp. A 10-minute walk leads to Yunnan Nationalities Village for ethnic-style photos. 2️⃣ Cuihu Park · Artsy Vibe in the City Center The lazy person's first choice! Convenient transportation in the city center, black-headed gulls perch on pavilions and corridors, with classical long corridors and ginkgo trees as the backdrop. The park has bird monitoring cameras, and you can watch seagull activity live in the Ecological Civilization Exhibition Hall. → Nearby activities: After feeding the seagulls, have a coffee at the Army Lecture Hall and browse handmade crafts on Wenlin Street. 3️⃣ Daguan Park · Double the Joy with Ancient Style and Autumn Colors Check in once for two exclusive beautiful scenes! When the ginkgo trees turn fully yellow, they form a golden carpet, and black-headed gulls fly between the eaves of Daguan Tower, perfectly capturing the ancient atmosphere. → Nearby activities: Take the Ferris wheel to overlook the Dianchi Lake seagull flock, and right outside is Zhuanxin Farmers Market for tofu pudding and rice noodles. 4️⃣ Caohai Opening and Closing Floating Bridge · New Internet Celebrity Landmark The nation’s first automated opening and closing floating bridge. When the bridge opens, seagulls circle above. To the west, enjoy the view of Xishan "Sleeping Beauty," and to the east, gaze at Dianchi Lake Dam, taking in the lake and mountain scenery. 5️⃣ Laoyuhe Wetland Park · Water Forest Light and Shadow Show A secret base for photographers! After 3 PM, sunlight slants through the dawn redwood forest, seagulls create ripples on the water surface, and telephoto lenses can capture the divine "seagull shadows passing through light" scene. → Nearby activities: Stop by Dounan Flower Market to buy a bouquet as a photo prop, and in the evening, watch the "Sky Mirror" reflection in the wetlands. 6️⃣ Haiyan Village · Sunset and Seagulls in the Same Frame A hidden gem! At sunset, the shimmering lake surface and brilliant evening glow complement each other, with black-headed gulls flying amid the afterglow. Every frame is a beautiful picture. → Nearby activities: Can be combined with Laoyuhe for a joint trip. 7️⃣ Haihong Wetland · Secret Dawn Redwood Forest A less crowded, beautiful hidden treasure! Rent a transparent boat to glide through the dawn redwood forest, seagulls fly overhead, and light filters through the branches onto the lake surface, like stepping into the Land of Oz. Wearing a white dress is recommended to match the golden reflections of the dawn redwoods. → Nearby activities: Walk to the Dianchi Greenway for cycling, and in the evening, go to Haiyan Village to watch the sunset and seagulls together. When the wings of seagulls brush over the sparkling Dianchi Lake, you understand the romance of Kunming’s winter, it’s not snow and the north wind, but the Siberian spirits returning year after year for a warm rendezvous. 🌿 Tips: Don’t chase the seagulls, wash your hands after feeding, and let’s protect the 40-year human-seagull bond together.
