This isn't San Francisco, it's Kunming, a camping and seagull-watching paradise.

Every winter, seagulls from Siberia flock to Kunming to spend the winter. They fly over mountains and rivers to Kunming, a tradition that has lasted for 40 years. By Dianchi Lake and Green Lake, flocks of seagulls soar in the sky or interact with tourists, competing for the bread people feed them. The Dianchi Lake Dam, a traditional seagull-watching spot, was once crowded with tourists from all over the country who came to Kunming to see the seagulls. Recently, a more niche seagull-watching spot has been gaining popularity, becoming a new camping and seagull-watching hotspot in Kunming. It is the Haimen Fishing Port, a small fishing village near the Haikou area of Kunming. 🌟🌟Highlights: 1️⃣ There is a large green area for camping, and stalls selling seagull food, so you can feed the seagulls up close. You don't have to worry about passersby photobombing your photos with the cute seagulls, as there are very few people here, making it very quiet. The seagulls' white wings and agile bodies add a lively and romantic touch to Kunming. 2️⃣ It is located opposite Dianchi Lake on the most beautiful road in Kunming, with great scenery, where you can take photos of the "Golden Gate Bridge" of Kunming. There is a long wooden walkway by the lake, where you can stroll at sunset, among the swaying reeds, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the red bridge and Dianchi Lake. 3️⃣ If you're lucky, you can also see beautiful fish-scale clouds. The clouds, like fish scales, slowly spread out in the blue sky, turning golden in the sunset glow. Strolling among them, you'll be reluctant to leave. 4️⃣ The best part is that this beautiful place is a free scenic spot. There are many delicious restaurants around the village, offering stir-fried dishes, hot pot, rice noodles, and fried potatoes. The oxtail soup here is especially worth trying. 📍Address: Navigate to the fishing village pier. It takes about 1 hour to drive from Kunming. 🎈🎈Tips: 🍭🍭 There is a free parking lot, but spaces are limited, so it's best to come early. If it's full, you can only park on the village road nearby. 🍭🍭 It's recommended to come at noon, camp, and wait for the beautiful sunset. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and it's cold by the lake, so be sure to dress warmly. 🍭🍭 Watch the seagulls in a civilized manner, don't feed them randomly, and take care of these little angels of the Spring City.
