From the coffee cart in 2024, to the hot ordering of temporary image display stores in 2025, and the establishment of the Shanhai Aesthetics flagship store in 2026, Xingye Boutique Coffee has accurately captured the new development opportunities of the "coffee+" lifestyle by the Dianchi Lake during its continuous participation in the Dianchi Lake International Coffee Culture Carnival activities. It has become a vivid epitome of the continuous holding of the Dianchi Lake International Coffee Culture Carnival activities, empowering urban consumption and coffee industry development, cultivating new business models by the lake, and helping to build the "Lakeside Spring City, Landscape Flower City" urban brand.
Xingye Boutique Coffee is a local coffee brand originating from Pu'er, Yunnan. It focuses on the combination of Yunnan boutique coffee and local culture, and has opened multiple coffee shops in Pu'er, Xishuangbanna and other places. Currently, it has opened three boutique coffee shops in Xunjin Street, Zhuanxin Agricultural Market and the east bank of Dianchi Lake in Kunming. Each shop is very popular, and specialty coffee products such as Mujiangzi Cold Extract, Mohong Rose Latte, Qingmei American Style, Sour Horn American Style, etc. are well received by customers.

In the first Dianchi International Coffee Culture Carnival event in 2024, Xingye's green coffee truck is one of the 100 coffee trucks, with a daily turnover of nearly 10000 yuan. During the event, the hot coffee consumption scene by the Dianchi Lake allowed Zhang Sanxing, the founder of Xingye Boutique Coffee, to keenly capture the enormous potential hidden along the Dianchi Lake, planting a seed for practical operation.

During the second Dianchi International Coffee Culture Carnival in 2025, Xingye Boutique Coffee created a 40 square meter image display store on the east bank of Dianchi Lake. During the 9-day event, the store was extremely popular every day, with customers lining up in long lines. The baristas were so tired that they posted notices requiring them to rest for 30 minutes before accepting orders. In this year, Xingye firmly decided to open a store on the east bank of Dianchi Lake, combining Xingye's brand effect with the high-quality leisure lifestyle by the lake, and deepening the development of the coffee industry on the edge of Dianchi Lake.

In June of this year, Xingye Boutique Coffee Dianchi East Bank Branch, built according to the standards of Shanhai flagship store, began trial operation at Diancui Coffee Complex. The new store continues the "slow and firm" growth aesthetic of Xingye, with a minimalist style based on customized tiles made of wood, raw stone, and snail fossils. The interior design fully expands the external display area, better integrating the natural beauty of Dianchi Lake into the store. Every person who walks in here can feel relaxed and enjoy the beautiful life by Dianchi Lake in the time of a cup of coffee. Since its trial operation, the store has been packed with customers every day, with a daily flow of over 500 people on weekdays and up to 800-1000 people on weekends and holidays. During peak periods of customer flow, the store even needs to temporarily suspend customer service for an hour to ensure a comfortable guest experience.

It is commendable that the retirement concept of Xingye Boutique Coffee's Dianchi East Bank store has been continued in daily operations. The Dianchi Greenway is an excellent running route in Kunming. In response to the needs of early morning exercise customers, Xingye Boutique Coffee Dianchi East Bank has launched a morning coffee service, which starts before 7am every day. This allows customers who exercise or walk their dogs to start a lively day after a cup of coffee.

Every evening is also a peak period for passenger flow on the Dianchi Greenway, but fortunately, it also insists on closing the day after 6pm. Regarding this, Zhang Sanxing said, "This is also an expression of the concept of Xingye's internal retreat. Although the afternoon is also the peak of customer flow, we will close our business at this time. On the one hand, it can reduce the cost of labor and other product research and development, and on the other hand, it also leaves room for business operations in the surrounding areas, allowing the commercial ecology in the area to achieve a healthy coexistence and go further
Xingye Boutique Coffee Dianchi East Bank Branch integrates coffee with lakeside life
As a coffee brand deeply rooted in Yunnan, Xingye Boutique Coffee uses Yunnan coffee beans as the base for all its drinks, and blends the mountain and wild flavors into the coffee, defining Yunnan coffee with Yunnan flavor blends. Regarding this, Zhang Sanxing said, "In order for Chinese coffee to integrate into the world, it must have its own characteristics, adhere to the localization of beans, specialties, and culture, and Yunnan specialty coffee will be better recognized by the world." During the 2026 Second Yunnan Treasure Coffee Raw Bean Competition (Yunnan Excellence Cup Pilot Competition) in June this year, international judges from all over the world praised the specialty series products of Xingye specialty coffee.

From Pu'er to Kunming, the development path of Xingye boutique coffee is still continuing. Zhang Sanxing introduced that the baking factory store of Xingye by Dianchi Lake is currently being selected. After the new store is built, customers will be able to intuitively see the process of coffee roasting and better experience Yunnan's boutique coffee culture. The Xingya Boutique Coffee Yulong Thirteen Peaks, located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain with an area of over 1000 square meters, is also under construction. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yulong Snow Mountain by looking up. To promote Yunnan specialty coffee to go global better, this year Xingye will also open pop-up stores in museums, commercial districts, and neighborhoods in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Chengdu. Xingye specialty coffee's first overseas store located in Bangkok will also debut at the end of this year or early next year.

The three years we have spent by the Dianchi Lake are the development path of Xingye Boutique Coffee's efforts to build the first brand of Yunnan boutique coffee. It is also a vivid case of the Dianchi Lake International Coffee Culture Carnival continuing to be held, making the "coffee+" lifestyle normalized by the Dianchi Lake, and actively promoting the development of Kunming's coffee industry. It reflects the entire process of the Dianchi Lake International Coffee Culture Carnival transforming from a festival event to a long-term industrial IP.
Xingye Boutique Coffee is a vivid example of the normalization of the "coffee+" lifestyle by the shores of Dianchi Lake
With the continued hosting of the Dianchi Lake International Coffee Culture Carnival, the construction of the "World Coffee Fashion City", and the ongoing efforts to build a world-class leisure and vacation tourism destination and high-quality living city, the scene of "coffee+" along the Dianchi Lake will continue to enrich, and the development of the industry will continue to accelerate, injecting new momentum into the construction of the "Lakeside Spring City" and the "Landscape Flower City". In August of this year, we welcome tourists from all over the world to come to Kunming, where the temperature is 22 ℃. Let's enjoy a cool coffee carnival by the shores of Dianchi Lake, stay in Kunming for travel and entrepreneurship, and enjoy a "Yunnan style life".
