Kunming's most beloved city park. Locals practice tai chi at dawn, play chess by the willows, and gather for outdoor dancing. Seagulls flock here Nov-Mar.

Yunnan's mountains produce 800+ mushroom species. This hotpot features rare wild fungi like matsutake, porcini, and chicken-of-the-woods. Earthy and addictive.
