Kunming Travel Guide
China
Kunming is a city of 4,761,284 people in China, set in the country’s south-west. Its highland setting gives it a generally mild climate compared with many other Chinese cities at similar latitudes.
Most air travellers arrive through Kunming Changshui International Airport (KMG), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Kunming, so beach trips are not a central part of visiting here.
