Kunming's romance is half seagulls, half water forest

Kunming, also known as the Spring City, is the capital of Yunnan Province, a national historical and cultural city, the central city of the central Yunnan urban agglomeration, and one of the important central cities in western China approved by the State Council. Kunming's Dianchi Lake is famous at home and abroad. As early as 30,000 years ago, humans lived and multiplied around Dianchi Lake; in 278 BC, the Kingdom of Dian was established and its capital was set here; in 765, the Nanzhao Kingdom built Tuodong City, marking the beginning of the construction of Kunming; in the late Ming Dynasty, the Southern Ming Yongli regime established its capital in Kunming. Kunming is a mountain plain landform, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and bordered by Dianchi Lake in the south, with beautiful scenery along the lake. Due to its location on a low-latitude plateau, it has a "spring-like" climate all year round. Every winter, seagulls gather here, forming a unique scene that attracts countless people to come to Dianchi Lake to watch the seagulls.
