Kunming
Kumning
Kunming 昆明 is the adminstrative capital and largest city of Yunnan province, China. It is essentially the hub for travel to South and West China. Kunming's economic importance stems from its geographical position. It shared borders with various Southeast Asian countries linking them with efficient transport systems by rail to Vietnam and Laos and by road to Burma and Thailand.
The city, at an altitude of 1800 metres above sea level, enjoys pleasant summer temperatures ranging from 14-28 Celsius. The city is surrounded by the Yunnan-Guizhou
Plateau and Dianchi Basin which shields it from much of the summer heat. And in the winter, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as ‘Roof of the World’, protects and shelters
Kunming from colder temperatures and allows the sun to shine abundantly over the city, lending itself to the label,‘The City of Springs’.
