Black-headed gulls

Kunming is renowned as a destination to see migrating black-headed gulls. Each winter, tens of thousands of these gulls arrive, delighting visitors and locals alike. With abundant food and a safe wetland environment around Dianchi Lake, the birds are well-fed and welcomed. The gulls also attract researchers, teachers and other experts who study their patterns and behaviors.

Green Lake Park

Featuring bright pavilions and nearby restaurants, shops and tea houses, it’s a prime viewing spot in the winter when the black-headed gulls arrive from Siberia. Local performers frequently provide entertainment in the park as well.
