Kunming: Capturing the Misty Rain of Jiangnan in Anning

🌸 Day Trips Around Kunming's Dilianya | Anning Nanyuan Garden, A Poetic Encounter with Jiangnan 🌸 Hey friends 👋, if you're staying at Dilianya Hotel in Kunming, you absolutely can't miss the nearby Anning Nanyuan Garden—it's truly a hidden gem 😍! 🚗 Super convenient transportation, whether you're driving or taking public transit. Just follow the GPS for a smooth drive, or take the Anning K2 bus and get off at the Industrial and Commercial Bank stop. 🌳 Stepping into Nanyuan Garden feels like traveling back to the water towns of Jiangnan. Designed by the renowned master of classical gardens, Chen Congzhou, it's no wonder it's called "Yunnan's Premier Garden." The garden is structured with nanmu wood as its bones and clear springs as its veins, with pavilions, towers, and terraces arranged in picturesque disorder. The winding paths lead to secluded spots, showcasing the delicate elegance of Jiangnan-style gardens. 💐 The flowers and plants in the garden are breathtaking, with camellias, peonies, wisteria, and peonies blooming in different seasons. When I visited, the camellias were in full bloom, their layered petals like flames adorning the branches, complementing the upturned eaves and carved window lattices—every frame was a painting. 🍵 If you get tired from exploring, head to the Nanyuan Teahouse in the Chunhua Qiuyue Pavilion. Order a pot of Pu'er tea, savor the rich aroma from the purple clay teaware, and enjoy the antique surroundings—it's pure bliss. 📸 The garden is also a photographer's paradise, perfect for wearing Hanfu, qipao, or modern Chinese-style outfits. Whether you pose on the zigzagging corridors, beside the pavilions, or by the small bridges and flowing water, every shot is magazine-worthy with stunning lighting effects. Anning Nanyuan Garden is truly a place to escape the hustle and bustle and embrace tranquility and beauty. If you're staying at Dilianya Hotel in Kunming, don't miss the chance to experience this unique Jiangnan poetry 💕!
