    Visiting the botanical garden this season not only introduces you to over a thousand plant species, but also allows you to see them in all their vibrant colors. It's not only a playground for the elderly and children, but also a wonderful place for us to relax after a long day of work.

    Even though the tour guide can't speak English, she is very helpful. If there is an English leaflet on trip instructions, upfront ticket option and caution of the trip for non-chinese speaking travelers it would be perfect. The weather was great! Unfortunately, the coach bus was malfunctioning and the return trip was delayed for two hours. All in all the experience was a good memory. The view reaching the top is beautiful.

    Baozi, today I must share with you the treasure wetland park I found when I lived in Kunming. It is a national 3A-level tourist attraction. In the many wetland parks I walked around Dianchi Lake, it is the only scenic spot named "national". It is like a pearl hidden next to the city, exudes a unique charm. Every time you walk into it, it seems to step into a dreamy natural kingdom, which makes people intoxicated. The vast area of the fish river wetland park covers more than 700 hectares, and the vast earth is like a green picture. As soon as you enter the park, the dense vegetation comes to your face, and the trees are shaded, as if a huge green umbrella propped up a cool world. On a hot day, as long as you walk in here, the heat dissipates instantly, leaving only a full of peace and comfort. The happiest thing in the park is the children, who play like a group of happy little angels on the beach. The fine sand slipped between their fingers, leaving a string of silver bells laughing, and they were still fishing excitedly by the pond, the focus of a great adventure. But to remind parents, the water here is not very clean, for the health of the children, try not to let them play in the water. In addition to children, this is also a holy place for girls to film. Every corner is like a carefully arranged canvas, and any shot can be beautiful to a new height. The best place to take pictures of the fish river wetland is a row of small beaches along the water of Dianchi Lake. At first glance, it may not have the sensation of a stunning look, but when you pick up the camera and point the lens at it, a picture full of Southeast Asian style will be presented. The Fish River Wetland Park is like a magical place, with beautiful scenery given by nature and a happy atmosphere for parents and children to play. Here, you can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the tranquility and beauty of nature. Treasures, come to the Yuhe Wetland Park and start your beautiful journey! I believe it will leave you with an unforgettable memory.
