Geography
The capital city of Yunnan province, Kunming is China’s gateway to South and Southeast Asia, and is also a world famous tourist destination commonly known as the City of Eternal Spring because of its climate. Climate
Kunming is one of the best summer resorts in China with excellent modern infrastructure and facilities for tourists, conferences and exhibitions. Given its climate, a large

variety of flowers, plants and trees grow and are in bloom all the year round, in and around the city and in its many beautiful ornamental parks and gardens. History
There are many historic sites in and round Kunming which indicate that its origins date back to the 3rd Century BC but there is evidence of human occupation in this area of eastern Yunnan for over 250,000 years. The city is one of the 24 historic and cultural cities of China first promulgated in 1982. Arts and Culture
The 25 ethnic minorities, who form a significant section of Yunnan’s population, have made a significant contribution to Kunming’s cultural and social life and in particular to the performing creative and decorative arts by way of music and dance, and their own unique metal and stone ware and textiles provide a unique and diverse cultural experience.
