Kunming, though it is a city of 1.8 million people, has managed to keep some of its charm through the myriad changes it has seen in recent years. It's called the "Spring City" due to its year-round mild weather.

The capital of Yunnan province, Kunming is the best place in Yunnan to shop for any mass produced product like sports equipment, contact lens solution, sundries, and western fast food. If you're trying to avoid South-West Chinese cuisine when dining out, Kunming will also have the largest selection of other types of cuisine in the province.

KUNMING HAS COME NEARER TO INDIA IN GERARAL, CALCUTTA IN PARTICULAR

I am an Indian from Calcutta.I am visiting Kunming since a decade. Kunming is like my second home city after Calcutta and have many friends there.City center and its surrounding has changed to todays look just in front of me. The city has been polluted while constructing many fly overs now.Road side flowers in many places have been damaged due to this constructions.Even then, I love the place.Food was a problem for me or for any Indian/ outsiders.Mc Donald and KFC came up first, now for last 9 months one Indian restaurant has come up near Yunnan University.

Charming in its own way

It's very easy to get around in the city center of Kunming, due to its compact layout. There are a few random alleys that you can still walk through and see older housing conditions. And the city is clean and still slightly less polluted than other Chinese cities. Some travellers find this place boring, and it is, if you're doing the "checkmark" style of staying a day or two in each place. However, if you have the time to squat for a while, there's a pleasant atmosphere to be found.
