Kunming, China
Daguan Park (大觀公園)

Loosely translated to mean “Grand View Park”, the park delivers exactly that.

A massive green space that accommodates to plenty, this park boasts 300 acres of land, with plenty of pavilions, ornamental rock gardens, lovely foot paths for all to wander upon and even an amusement park!


A must to check out is the “Daguan Lou” that the park is centred around. A three-storeyed tower in the tower, it offers the best panoramic views of the entire park. An intricate façade beckons you here, an interesting poem carved on the south side gates. Aside from the main attraction, you can definitely visit the rest of the surrounding area of the parks. From paddle boats on the pond that you can paddle leisurely on, enjoying the breeze, to even people-watching the Chinese locals as they go about their morning ritual! Plenty of locals have come here to engage in some morning exercise, most of them being the elderly. There are even ornamental flowers that are cycled through seasons. Before you leave, you must check out the amusement park where a 90-meter tall Ferris wheel sits, alongside other exhilarating rollercoaster rides. Hop on for a ride before you go and relax, taking in yet another amazing view of this well-manicured park.
