Green Lake Park sits in the heart of Kunming and is a well-preserved classical garden-style park, where lotus ponds, weeping willows and pavilions set one another off beautifully. In winter black-headed gulls gather here and interact with visitors at close range.
The surrounding area is Kunming's cultural quarter, with the old campus of Yunnan University, the former site of the National Southwestern Associated University, and Wenlin Street's cafés, bookshops and snack stalls all close by — perfect for a half-day stroll at old Kunming's unhurried pace.
