Beautiful and Underrated Gem in china

I was pleasantly surprised by how much Kunming’s downtown has to offer! It’s clean, modern, and full of vibrant life — but without the overwhelming crowds you find in other major Chinese cities. The streets are lined with charming cafes, local boutiques, and a great mix of traditional Yunnan culture and contemporary style. Green Lake Park (Cuihu) and nearby temples offer peaceful spots to relax, while the local food scene is incredibly diverse and delicious. What stood out most to me was the laid-back atmosphere — Kunming truly lives up to its nickname as the “Spring City.” If you’re visiting Yunnan, don’t just pass through Kunming — take time to explore downtown. It’s beautiful, walkable, and still feels like a hidden gem. Highly recommended! #travel #china #yathra #gowithtrip.com #gowithtrip
