Itinerary
Kunming Highlights
In the morning, your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel lobby at the time confirmed (our guide will contact you in advance to confirm the pickup time).
You will begin your journey today by visiting Green Lake Park, a tranquil beauty in the city center of Kunming. Stroll through the tree-lined causeways, ancient stone bridges and the classic pavilions, you will see locals enjoying their morning exercises with the blend of Taichi, jogging, dancing, and singing. The park shows Kunming exactly as it is - slow-paced life, spring all year around, a relaxed and peaceful retreat.
A 1.5-hour drive along the freeway will bring you to the fascinating Stone Forest, where you can marvel at the phenomenon of the broad expanse of karst limestone pillars in fantastic shapes that resemble a forest when viewed from a distance. Formed by the movement of the earth 270 million years ago and exposure to wind and running water, these extraordinary formations are of considerable interest to geologists, while the forest is home to the Yi minority renowned for their diligence, embroidery and dancing.
On the way back to Kunming city, have a stopover at Dounan Flower Market to stroll around the flower ocean and appreciate the colourful blooms. The charming Asia’s largest flower market is not only a vital agricultural and commercial hub with a daily turnover as high as 5.5 million yuan, but also a popular ‘romantic’ destination for the tourists visiting Kunming.
Your tour ends when you are returned to your hotel.
