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.

Kunming Dragon Gate

Reviewed By lohb2015

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!

There are about 30 villages from different ethnic groups such as; Tibetan, Lieu, Mong, Akha, Mongolian and many more. Many are dressed up in traditional attire,. You can see first hand how they live and can see the many home styles. They are more than willing for you to take pictures. Can easily spend several hours here.
