Located on the west side of Wuhua Hill and facing the main gate of Yunnan University, the Green Lake Park, or Cuihu Park, is a beautiful urban park nicknamed the "Jade of Kunming." Its history can be traced back to the 17th century.

Divided into five sections, the park features lakes, islands, pavilions, ponds and bridges. The best season to visit the park is winter, when flocks of red-pecked seagulls migrate here to escape the Siberian chill. It is an excellent place to have a picnic, go for a stroll or take a boat across the lake.
