The capital of China’s southern Yunnan Province, Kunming is a bustling but pleasant city with some great sights and attractions. Don’t miss the brilliant Wu Mayao Museum of Anthropology, which is housed at Yunnan University, or the Yunnan Provincial Museum, which has an excellent collection of folk musical instruments. The Qiongzhu (Bamboo) Temple is an astonishing architectural feat, and be sure to check the listings at TCG Nordica, an exhibition space which regularly hosts live music and other cultural events. Green Lake Park is a wonderful place for people-watching, and for those with more time in the area, a trip to the Stone Forest (Shilin) – an incredible set of tall limestone rock formations – is highly recommended.
