What to do and see in Kunming, Yunnan: The Best Outdoor Activities

May 18, 2021 Janean Rudisill

Kunming is the capital and largest city of Yunnan province in southwest China. Known as Yunnan-Fu until the 1920s, today it is a prefecture-level city and the political, economic, communications and cultural centre of the province as well as the seat of the provincial government. Kunming is also called the Spring city due to its weather. The headquarters of many of Yunnan's large businesses are in Kunming. It was important during World War II as a Chinese military center, American air base, and transport terminus for the Burma Road. Located in the middle of the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau, Kunming is located at an altitude of 1,900 metres (6,234 feet) above sea level and at a latitude just north of the Tropic of Cancer. Kunming has as of 2014 a population of 6,626,000 with an urban population of 4,575,000, and is located at the northern edge of the large Lake Dian, surrounded by temples and lake-and-limestone hill landscapes.

Yunnan Wildlife Park

Reviewed By lohb2015

Learn on the move! This is a really educational tour for us, every inch of the park there is something for us to learn everywhere from the plants to the wildlife. The enclosures are really well maintained and I can tell that a lot of effort has been put into preserving the mountain in its wildest form. The animals are thriving and full of life, such as the ostrich and the tigers. A stark difference from what we have at Singapore Zoo. There were also many kiddy activities lined up at affordable prices. However, expect to walk really a lot, it is a must to get the tram ride tickets at 50rmb per adult. It provides a pleasant ride up the slopes. Will need at least 4 hours to tour the entire park.

We went there in a sunny morning. It was very windy but didn't stop us from enjoying feeding the seagulls. It was so relaxing and everyone seemed to enjoy the company of the seagulls. Definitely recommended to be visited by families.
