Laoyuhe Wetland Park
捞渔河湿地公园
A wetland park in Chenggong on the east shore of Lake Dian, with a water forest of Chinese swamp cypress, spring tulip fields, and Lake Dian sunsets. It's a weekend destination for Kunming residents.
Laoyuhe Wetland Park lies on the east shore of Lake Dian in Chenggong District. It was formed when farmland was returned to the lake. Its best-known feature is the large water forest of Chinese swamp cypress, with boardwalks running through it. In spring, the flower fields bloom with tulips and cherry blossoms, and in winter you can see red-billed gulls and other waterbirds. A lakeside greenway lets you cycle to nearby Haiyan Village, and in the evening you can watch the sun set over Lake Dian and the Western Hills across the water. Admission is free, though some flower-show periods charge. Drive or take a taxi, or take the Metro to Chenggong and transfer.
