Visual feast shows the vibrant vitality of Spring City Since the first media briefing of COP15 on October 10, Kunming's latest city image promotional video Where is Spring? Kunming Tells You has shown to global journalists the vibrant vitality of the Spring City with continuous blossoms and four seasons like spring, and sent an invitation to the Spring City.Reporters have said that the city promotional video has enabled them to "install" the Spring City into their mobile phones and take it away, and share the beauty of the Spring City with more people. Where is Spring? Kunming Tells You centers on the city positioning of Kunming as "a Spring City in China, a famous historical and cultural city, an international health city and a regional international center city", and shows the brilliant achievements of Kunming in nature, history, culture, economic and social development in an all-round way in an international expression.
Yang Yifan, reporter of Xinmin Evening News, said: "The promotional video shows the beautiful scenery of Kunming such as Cuihu Lake and Xishan Mountain, as well as the cultural landscape such as Southwest University, and also tells the story of the harmonious coexistence of Kunming people and seagulls. It makes me feel the warmth of the Spring City in an all-round way, which is very touching."
Wang Yu, reporter of Shandong Radio and Television Station, said after watching the promotional video: "The most impressive thing about the whole film is all kinds of flowers.Kunming is a Spring City and a city of flowers. Flowers of various colors make Kunming very beautiful. I look forward to coming back to Kunming for a deep tour and a full experience of the city's charm."

I hope our works can let more people know about Kunming and fall in love with Kunming."
Seals Engrave the Charm of Spring City
China has a long history of seal culture, and COP15 has also blown a "seal trend".
On October 11, COP15 commemorative stamps were officially issued in Kunming.Meanwhile, COP15 commemorative first day covers and postcards have also become popular "accessories" for Chinese and foreign journalists.On the first day covers, people can personally stamp four red seals with Kunming characteristics. The seal designer, corner shuling, director of the creative research and development office of kunming postal philatelic and cultural media department, introduced that the design of the four seals began to prepare at the end of 2019.The seal design is like painting on a white paper with limited size.There are many symbols of kunming, but which ones can truly represent kunming? After full demonstration and several design drafts, four design levels were finally selected for expression: the venue of COP15 - kunming dianchi international convention and exhibition center was engraved on the seal; a seal cast kunming's west mountain, dianchi lake, seagull and other city cards; a seal expressed that COP15 will bring new hope for global biodiversity protection with water drops and three leaves; a seal showed the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture with the calligraphy "kunming, China". In a corner of the COP15 news center, more than 10 cultural and creative products of COP15 also attracted the attention of global media.In the embroidery theme lipstick set, four lipsticks added balsam leaf geranium essential oil, which not only moisturizes and protects the color, but also has the natural fragrance of plants.On the lipstick tube, horsetail flowers, camellia flowers and other patterns jointly depict an ecological civilization picture, adding a bright color to the ecological environment.
Creation of Yunnan Through thousands of years in Kunming Also in the COP15 news center, a special cultural exhibition named "Journey to the East, Creation of the East" with the theme of "gold, wood, earth, stone and cloth" led visitors through the millennium Kunming.Media reporters stood in front of the exhibition area, or interviewed, or filmed, carefully recording every detail of these exhibits.From afar, a beautifully made wooden boat first came into view, which was the model of the fleet used by Zheng He when he sailed to the West.More than 600 years ago, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West, writing a brilliant chapter in the history of cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.Today, Yunnan people use carpenter's craft to restore the model of Zheng He's fleet, so that more people can understand China's mature and exquisite shipbuilding technology at that time. The "gold" theme of copper painting has attracted the attention of many Chinese and foreign reporters, and everyone is very interested in the unique spots of copper."We exhibited the copper peacock bottle and the ancient Dian cultural relics reproduced with copper painting. When copper and ancient Dian culture "break the circle", people have a strong interest in the profound humanistic heritage of Yunnan and Kunming." Zhang Honglin, who is responsible for the on-site interpretation, introduced. In the "stone" theme exhibition area, the iron ore from Dongchuan also "fired out" with its "high appearance level".Through the iron ore, people learned about the history of the restoration of the ecological system of Dongchuan, the "copper capital". It is reported that each exhibit in the exhibition is equipped with a dynamic poster, and detailed information can be obtained by scanning the QR code. In addition to more than 30 exhibits on display, the exhibition area will rotate exhibits according to the theme every day, and the total number of exhibits is about 100.
