KunmingKunming
Kunming is known as the “City of Spring” because it enjoys spring-like weather year-round and is one of China’s cities with the best climate. As the gateway to Yunnan, it serves as the starting point for exploring Dianchi Lake, the Stone Forest, and the culture of Yunnan’s ethnic minorities. Every year from November to March, thousands of red-billed gulls fly from Siberia to Dianchi Lake to spend the winter, creating Kunming’s most iconic natural spectacle.
