Why visit

Travel Kunming with local experts

Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, is known as the City of Eternal Spring for its mild climate. Dianchi Lake lies south of the city, and the Stone Forest to the southeast is part of the South China Karst World Natural Heritage site.

Most Yunnan routes start and end here, with the first day for arrival and getting used to the altitude and the last for the onward transfer.
