Kiina - Kunming

Kunming, 4 million inhabitants, is the capital of Yunnan, area of the south of China. The climate is pleasant there. It is a true hinged plate; of Kunming, one can go everywhere by plane (Bangkok, Hanoï, Shanghai, Hong-Kong, etc).

Kunming is a large modern city, which does not seem to present of particular interest. The city can however be used as starting point for an excursion towards Dali (lake Erhai).

To take glass or to eat a piece, we strongly advise you French coffee held by a couple the Norman ones.

It is with two steps of Wenlin Jie and the university (Lan Bai Hong, 52 Wenhua gang). One can eat crepes there! The clientelle one is made up tourists, expatriates but also of Chinese who devotes itself to our gastronomy!

To see:

The pagoda of the Tang dynasty (in the south of Jinbi Lu).
The Yuantong temple (largest of Kunming).
Le lac vert au centre ville

A voir aux alentours:

le Xi Shan (juste à côté de la ville)
Shilin (à 120 km mais visitable dans la journée)
The temple of Bamboos (12 km in the North-West of Kunming).

Pour ceux qui iraient à Kunming en hiver, je recommande pour les frileux comme moi (et même les moins frileux) un hôtel avec du chauffage. Il n'y en a pas beaucoup. Je vous donne une adresse ci-dessous. C'est un peu plus chère mais au moins on y est au chaud, car en hiver les températures peuvent descendre en dessous des 5 degrés.
