Green Lake, known as Cuihu, is a serene urban oasis in the heart of Kunming. Visitors stroll along willow-lined paths and cross arched bridges over the lake's three connected basins. In summer, the lake is covered in pink and white lotus flowers. The park buzzes with local life: groups practice tai chi, play traditional instruments, and sing folk songs. It's a perfect spot to experience Kunming's relaxed pace and vibrant community spirit.
