Kunming Tours
Jul
Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, is normally the gateway city for a Yunnan tour. It is a desirable metropolis with a comfortable climate, natural scenery, four-season flowers and a slow pace of life. Spending some time in Kunming is not only a chance to see the popular attractions such as the Stone Forest and West Hill, but also a chance to get a general impression of life in Yunnan. See the incredible vegetables in a wet market, visit a huge flower market, and taste authentic Yunnan food in a time-honored local restaurant.
- The best times to visit Kunming are spring and winter. The rainy season is from May to October. Actually, Kunming has moderate weather throughout the year. It can be cold in winter and hot in summer, but it\’s not as severe as elsewhere; flowers bloom all year round! That is why Kunming is given the nickname \”Spring City\”.
- Transportation to Kunming is very convenient. It can be accessed from the main cities of China by flights and bullet trains. There are also direct flights between Kunming and many overseas cities (when COVID-19 measures ease [Nov. 2020]).
- Two nights or three days is suggested to explore Kunming. You can cover all the famous attractions such as the stone forest, West Hill, and Dianchi Lake. It is also interesting to visit a local wet market and Green Lake Park if you want to have an experience of local life.
