 | Famous for spectacular and unique natural scenery, West Hill is a natural forest park in kunming by the Lake Dianits lofty chain of mountains crisscrossed by gurgling brooks and streams. Ancient trees heap up rich piles of foliage, and birds warble and flutter in the midst of fragrant flowers. Along the way, you can stop now and then to enjoy the beauty of the scenery: blue skies, green water with slow sailing fishing boats and so on. From the spot of the Dragon Gate, you will be rewarded with a panoramic view of Dianchi Lake. |
| Golden Temple (Jindian) Park | |
 | Located on top of Mingfeng (Singing Phoenix) Hill, The Golden Temple itself sits atop the Mingfeng Mountain. The temple is 6.7 meters high and 7.8 meters wide. It cast 250 tons of solid bronze, making it the largest bronze hall in China. In and around the beautiful natural landscape of the park are man-made gardens and sites of historical interest.

| Temple of the Perfection and Success (Yuantong Si) | |
 | Yuantong Si was first built during the Tang period (618-907), rebuilt between 1301 and 1320, and subsequently restored on several occasions during the next few centuries. An octagonal pavilion situated in a square lake is of particular interest. In the main temple, the Hall of Perfection and Success (Yuantong Baodian), the visitor should look out for some 14th C Buddhist statues and two Ming period (1368-1644) dragons made from colored clay which are coiled around two pillars. |
| Cuihu Park | |
 | Cuihu was found on the western side of the Yuhua Mountain in Central District, Kunming. The forms of green trees are mirrored in the lake, dying the water an emerald green. Weeping willow trees sway invitingly on the shore, echoing the lotus flowers growing on the lake. The environment is refreshing, graceful and tranquil all at once. In winter, tens of thousands of wintering red-beaked gulls descend upon the lake, drawing large crowds of curious onlookers. |
| The Dianchi Lake | |
 | Covering an area of 300 square kilometers, Dianchi Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province and the sixth largest in China. With its sparkling water, exquisite sailboats, and picturesque landscape, Dianchi Lake is reputed as a "Pearl of the Plateau" and considered by many a must see tour destination. Sailing on the lake, with the boat swaying gently on a vast expanse of liquid silver, proves to be a most enchanting experience. |
