1, Xihua Park
Flowering time: March
Xihua Park is rich in plant species, lush and colorful. The 800-meter-long Begonia Boulevard in the park winds its way through the flowery forest. Walking along the weeping begonias avenue, another characteristic landscape of Xihua Park, the butterfly flower belt comes into view. There are 22 varieties of iris, mainly native iris,**** more than 50,000 plants in the park.
2, Cuihu Park
Flowering time: February to March
From the south gate of Cuihu Lake, you can see it on both sides of the downhill road from Yanzi Bridge. The free Cuihu Park is located in the center of Kunming, so it is crowded.
Straight ahead and turn right into a small square with a large patch of begonias. Unfortunately, they're largely taken over by big daddies and moms dancing in the square. Of course, in addition to begonias, you can also view tulips, camellias and other flowers, and feed the seagulls.
3, Yunnan University, one-two-one campus
Flower viewing time: February to mid-March
Dayun campus begonias are mainly located on the east side of Ginkgo Road, and there is also a row on the road leading to Yuanxi Road. The area in front of the Bell Tower is also a distribution area for begonias. There is also a begonia in front of the Court and Gongyuan. The begonias have a unique flavor against the backdrop of the various old buildings of Yunnan University.
Yunnan University is near Cuihu Lake, so the quietness index is diminished. In the fall, we can see ginkgoes in Dayun and begonias in the spring. There are also many historical sites, so many people go. It is a free and most recommended attraction in Kunming.
4, Yunnan Normal University one-two-one campus
Flower viewing time: February to March
Enter from the side of the Ditai Temple, then turn right. There are about 200 meters between two old gray mosaic buildings. Unfortunately there are too many parked cars. Maybe there are fewer of them compared to Daeun and Tongyuan (less than Kungun), so not many people go there.
Go to Da Lien Road (directly across from the gate). There are dozens of begonia trees on both sides of the road, but they are scattered. Take a look as you pass by.
If you go early, in early February, you can see a large row of purple plums on a road near the begonias at Yunnan Normal University, which are also very attractive when in full bloom.
5, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Lianhua Campus
Flowering time: mid-March
When you enter the gate of Kunming University of Science and Technology's Lianhua Campus, turn to the right, and you'll see a long road stretching to the teaching building. Because of the compact planting, the flowers on both sides of the road are connected together.
At the Lotus Campus of Kunming University of Science and Technology, begonias enjoy the highest quiet index. Tanghua blooms alone every year and is rarely disturbed. Perhaps because of the remote location, far from Cuihu Lake, there is no food, drink or anything around. There are few people, and the background of the photo is clean and uncluttered. It doesn't have to be like Dayun, Cuihu or Tongyuan.
What surprised me was that when I walked to the side near Xuefu Road, there were dozens of cherry blossoms in front of the school building.
