Tips

culture

Kunming sits at ~1,900 m elevation on a plateau beside Dian Lake (滇池) and enjoys the mildest year-round climate of any major Chinese city, hence the nickname 春城 ('Spring City'). It is the gateway to Yunnan's diverse ethnic-minority areas (Lijiang, Dali, Xishuangbanna) and the historic Burma Road.
