About this activity

Kunming is one of China's most underrated cities. It doesn't announce itself to the world the way Beijing and Shanghai do. Spend a few hours with us and discover the Kunming that you would have walked straight past on your own. No, Kunming is not just an airport!

Our walk includes:

First part is the beautiful Cuihu and all its little stories, before we switch gear to the second part of wartime history and exile around the old university quarter.
Kunming's long and complex history with foreigners. Why we consider Kunming the Most Foreign City in China.
Did Kunming use to have a city wall that stood for 600 years? Where is it now?
Initially not part of the official route, but have gained such popularity include the small snack stall with their pumpkin pancake mid-way, plus the local authentic crossing-the-bridge noodles nearby before we say goodbye.
Plus hospitality and human connections that make Kunming not 'just another city in China'
