A good place to buy souvenirs of Kunming and Yunnan Province.

For museli with fruit or porridge, this is the best place - nice staff too

Review of Harmony Guesthouse by newsboy (20), 9 juin 2005

This is the best guesthouse in China with friendly helpful staff who provide advice on travel and treat you like family. As well as nice sunny courtyard out back they are one of the few places to include kitchen and laundry for guest use, plus the showers are always hot.
Lots of people now stay in the old town, and this is located opposite Raven and Hazels.
Highly recommended.

Review of Kunming International Airport (KMG) by Wocca (748), 9 juin 2005

Kunming has an international airport which is very user-friendly.

When leaving the airport, you can step straight out the front and there is a metered-taxi rank with many cabs waiting.It is a good idea to have your destination written in Chinese on paper to show the driver.

There isn\'t usually any problem, but make sure the driver turns the fare meter on.

Review of French Cafe (Lan Bai Hong) by Wocca (748), 9 juin 2005

The French Cafe is one of the most readily recognisable and easy to find cafes on Wen Li Jie.

Naturally enough, quite a few French people go there.

Inside is open & spacious. Lovely atmosphere. Foreigners often like to sit in chairs under umbrellas on the sidewalk and read ...

Review of Camellia Hotel by Wocca (748), 9 juin 2005

The double rooms in the Camellia have good-sized bath tubs with very hot water during the day time. The buffet breakfast included in the room tariff caters for international taste.

Travellers from various parts of the world stay at the Camellia

Review of City Cafe by Wocca (748), 9 juin 2005

The City Cafe is popular as a meeting place for foreigners, especially because of its sidewalk tables.

Very easy to find on Dongfeng Donglu, close to the Camellia Hotel

Review of The Hump by Wocca (748), 9 juin 2005

The Hump is great value for dorms. Situated right amongst the entertainment area. Fast food places close by, so visitors won't go hungry.

Unfortunately, the one double room is not very appealing.
