As the cool autumn breeze sets in, several parks in Kunming have entered their prime viewing period. Autumnal landscapes featuring red maple, golden ginkgo, and pink muhly grass are progressively on display, drawing crowds of residents and tourists eager to capture photos and enjoy the scenery. Our correspondents have curated an "Autumn Park Checklist" to guide you through the most captivating fall sights Kunming has to offer.

Cuihu Park: Autumn here is characterized by delightful "squirrel interactions." Visitors who sit quietly under the camphor trees may have a chance encounter with squirrels darting through the woods, adding a unique charm to the autumn scene.

Heilongtan (Black Dragon Pool) Park: The undisputed star of the autumn scenery is the "Red Maple Ridge," boasting over 6,000 maple trees. As the maple leaves gradually turn crimson, they create a picturesque harmony with the park's ancient architecture and the Dingfeng Pagoda, evoking a profound classical ambiance.

Wangjiadui Wetland Park: This freely accessible "hidden gem" boasts enchanting ancient groves, expansive fields of pink muhly grass, and picturesque willow-lined pathways, making it a sought-after photography destination on social media platforms.

Daguan Park: Visitors can admire both the vast autumn waters of Dianchi Lake and the seasonal chrysanthemum exhibition. By November, the renowned Ginkgo Boulevard will be aglow in golden hues, perfectly blending cultural ambiance with natural scenery.

Mile Temple Park: A hub for literature youth, the park features several art spaces and cafes. With its red-brick walls, iconic signage, and Japanese-style garden, it provides the perfect setting for a leisurely, culturally enriching afternoon.

Haigeng Park: Facing the "Sleeping Beauty" peak of the Xishan Mountains across the water, this park offers one of the finest vantage points for sunset views over Dianchi Lake. It's worth noting that mid-November marks the beginning of the prime black headed gull-watching season each year.

Caohai Tunnel Park: Featuring an iconic rainbow pathway, this park is a popular destination for fitness and photography enthusiasts. In autumn, visitors can enjoy the successive beauty of pink muhly grass and ginkgo trees.

Xihua Park: Tailored for families with children, the park offers a children's playground and spacious lawns. With free admission, it serves as an ideal venue for kids to freely explore and express themselves.

With the ongoing advancement of the "Park City" initiative, Kunming's autumn is showcasing increasingly diverse recreational opportunities. This fall, we invite you to explore these "hidden gem" parks and immerse yourself in the poetic charm and tranquil comfort of urban life amidst their dazzling colors.
