Kunming Old Town, Museums & Fuxian Lake
Stay on Wenlin Street, slowly explore the Southwest Associated University site, old streets and museums, then take a day trip to Fuxian Lake.
Aimed at visitors who have already been to the Stone Forest or who want a slower trip. The first three days cover the university area around Green Lake, the Nanping Street old town, and the Chenggong Museum and Dounan area. On Day 4, charter a car to the north shore of Fuxian Lake to see the Chengjiang fossils and Luchong Lake. The last day visits Heilongtan, the Botanical Garden and Golden Hall in the northern suburbs before heading to the airport. The Stone Forest and Xishan are left out to make room for more time in the old city and with local life.
Fuxian Lake is crowded on summer holidays, while spring and autumn offer the clearest lake colours. Red-billed gulls can be seen in winter.
