Key attractions include Dianchi Lake (a gathering spot for red-billed gulls in winter, excellent for birdwatching at Haigeng Dam), Stone Forest Scenic Area (a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site with spectacular karst peak formations), Cuihu Park (a green lung in the city centre with blooms in all seasons), and Yunnan Ethnic Village (an experience of 26 ethnic cultures). In terms of cuisine, Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles offer a savoury and delicious soup with rich toppings; Wild Mushroom Hotpot is fresh and mellow; Grilled Rice Cakes are soft and chewy; Flower-Shaped Pastries are sweet and fragrant, blending Yunnan flavours with ethnic tastes.
