hello everyone, i was wondering if everyone can help me in how to get to the bl;ack dragon pool from kunming in a cheap way...

the number 9 bus goes from the north train station on beijing lu to all the way to black dragon pool (hei long tan 黑龙潭) stopping right outside the park

thx for the info!

It's not that interesting tbh unless you're really into goldfish. The tower on top of the hill was closed so the nice panorama eluded us, it looked permanently closed as well. We managed to save the trip by walking up and behind the tower where we found a path going East and down from the hill. After a 30 min trek we came out into a large empty drainage canal near the police dog training facility of Yunnan. After heading South we came to the Agricultural University's campus and from there we could walk back to 北市区. From the top we spent maybe 2-3 hours walking back to Kunming. Although that was interesting the hei long tan itself wasn't.

However, nearby to the BDP is the Kunming Botanic Gardens, which is a fantastic place to spend the afternoon. Take the same bus and get out at the second or third to last stop.
