Here’s a guide to hidden gems around Kunming—save it and go!

It’s just a 1-hour drive from Kunming—'Xundian'!

Kunming’s New Zealand

Endless skies, vast grasslands, and cattle and sheep hidden among the grass—'Xundian Pasture' is exactly that kind of place. The blend of meadows, sheep, and Kunming’s unique blue sky creates the most harmonious natural beauty.

Come here to keep chasing windmills, take your kids up the hills to pick flowers and feel the breeze, bring your gear for a picnic; get close to nature and run with your children on the slopes. Everything here is stunning with hardly any crowds—all the beautiful scenery belongs to you. Life is worth it, right here, right now!

Different seasons offer different flavors of beauty. Perfect for couples, families, and kids. Breathe freely and run wild—you’re embraced by nature!

If you’re traveling with elders, 'Red Manor' is a top choice. With a red-themed exhibition hall featuring 10 galleries, it’s spiritual nourishment for the elderly; children can also absorb the spirit of the red tradition.

Located on an 800-mu estate, the Red Exhibition Hall covers 1,200 square meters, themed 'Eternal Long March, Eternal Monument, Eternal Memory, Eternal Pursuit.' The hall preserves original artifacts such as broadswords, grenades, and letters left by the Red Army when they passed through Xundian; it recalls the past while looking forward to China’s new future.

Through 10 exhibition halls and 4 themes, relive the Red Army’s journey and pursue the red spirit; watch a red film to return to those years; walk a red path to feel the hardships of the time; eat a red-army meal to experience the tough lives of the ancestors who fought for liberation.

Through listening, seeing, feeling, remembering, seeking, and tasting, fully experience the red spirit and culture.

Besides the Red Exhibition Hall, Red Manor is also a great wellness retreat. Here you can enjoy outdoor barbecues, camping, and picnics. The huge lawn is a perfect place for children to run and play.

Falling into a Fairy Tale World

If you love the fairy-tale town atmosphere of Disney but can’t leave the province, then Fenglongwan Aladdin Fairy Tale Town is an excellent choice! It’s also great for family trips.

The scenic area features castles, lakeside cottages, wooden cabins, and more. Take a sightseeing train or boat to slowly discover the beauty here.

There are vast fields of cosmos flowers and a lavender garden that instantly transports you to Provence—every snap looks like a blockbuster. The dreamlike architecture makes you feel like a runaway princess in an instant.
