The 10 Best Things to do Good for Couples in Kunming, Yunnan
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.

Reviewed By Au_and_Family - Singapore, Singapore
Dongchuan Red Land is a place of beautiful and colorful terraces. We have a rental car with a driver cum guide to bring us there. We saw many colorful terraces as we were driven to see Shuipingzi Rice Terrance (the Moon Rice), sunset at Luoxiagou in Songmaopeng, then to Huagou Thousand years of Nagarjuna—Red Soil Grand Sight. Sunrise next day at Damakan was marred by foggy morning weather. Later in the morning, we saw Qicai Slope (colorful slope), Jinxiuyuan, and Yuepuao—Luoshi Bay. It was a wonderful colorful experience.
8. Kunming West Hill (Xishan Forest Park)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 201 reviews
Reviewed By shuyajing - Kunming, China
A whole day tour of West Hill is neccesary and the best way to exploreing this park is by walking if you love hiking. One way from the park entrance to Dragon Gate is about 5-6 km, echo-friendly bus is a good choice too for senior citizens or family with kids. The entrance of the park is an artificial street to imitate the ancient town life of native Kunmingers, but you do find some good snacks and local specialties here. Along the winding road with virgin forest, there are several temples and a beautiful magnolia garden to stopover. By the end of the road, there is the essence of the park, Dragon Gate, a stone gate and group of ancient buildings located in the middle of a high cliff with stairs and tunnels dug and cut through the rocks. When you take a short cableway to the cliff top, you can enjoy most stunning panaromic view of the Kunming City and Dianchi Lake, which definitly is the highlight of the tour.

Expect to climb and a steep hike up, hence not very suitable for wheelchairs and young children. Enjoy a breathtaking scenery by taking the gondola as well as the open air car ride activity. Best way to get there is to take the metro to the Xishan train station and walk 100m to the western hills scenic and ticketing area where they sell bus rides up the slopes at 12.50rmb. If u want to visit the yunnan cultural village, this is the place to take the gondola downward as well There are also many local food stalls. U need at least 4-5 hours and expect lots of walking!
