Welcome to Kunming
Known as the City of Spring, Kunming – the provincial capital of Yunnan – is blessed with a blue sky and a mild climate and famous for abundant flowers. The pace of life here is slightly slower than in other capital cities. Locals love to take a casual walk and even the office workers are seldom seen in a hurry. The best thing to do here is to join the Yunnanese, wind down gently while exploring this very pleasing city and, quite literally, smell the flowers as the day goes by.
