kunming is known as the “spring city” and “flower city” in China, the weather in kunming is always warm as in spring which is the best condition for flower planting.
Most foreigners never heard of Yunnan, but in China it's one of the most well known provinces for tourism and it's super popular among Chinese tourists.
As a Chinese, I have visited almost most of our country. I would like to give you some recommendations. There are many beautiful snow mountains in Yunnan, such as Meili Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, as well as hiking holy places, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Antarctic Luo, etc., and I think which are more shocking than the city scenery. You are also welcome to go to Xinjiang or Tibet, which has the best scenery in China! welcome everyone to China!
I'm only a couple minutes into this video but this guy did a great job of not doing what 99% of other travel bloggers do and that is making cringe-worthy faces and saying cringe-worthy things and making stupid faces for the camera and acting like an idiot. This guy is really genuine and down-to-earth and those are the kinds of travel videos that are most useful to people
I spent 4 years in Kunming; it's really nice and less crowded. In Kunming, I strongly recommend visiting the Chenggong Flower Market, Haigeng Dam Park, and Cuihu Park. You can also rent an e-bike to ride around Dianchi Lake; it's a really wonderful experience. In Yunnan province, you can also visit Lijiang, Dali, Shangri-La, and Xishuangbanna. The vibes in these places are completely different, but all of them are charming, lovely, and safe. I want to visit Yunan every year.
This brother is a real travel guru, I tell you what , my IELTS is 6.5 and I still can't travel in the US without a tour guide, but this brother can spend a week in China only in English😂
Nice video! Kunming is a very beautiful city, with so much to offer. I love the ambience and the nature. Its very interesting to see such unique, unusual,and stunning landscape like the stone forest. The local foods looks good and China is very modern and high tech using cashless mobile payments alipay and electric vehicles. Great China series and im looking forward for your upcoming videos about this country.
Yunnan has many amazing cities, such as Pu 'er, Yuxi, Dali, and so on, there are many ethnic food, I hope you have time to explore one by one, it is best to find a local knowledge of the people as your guide, there are many foreigners in Yunnan at present, they are very integrated and understand the local life. Thank you for liking my hometown! Enjoy your journey! 🥰
@@wlf-lh1tn thanks for your answer but I can't really understand it ...I'm going to have to use Google translate. But I see that you said VPN so I guess you're using a VPN. I forgot about that
Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province, which is famous for its view, whether and unique ethnic culture. In kunming you should visit (maybe) the world's largest flower market Dounan, and then take train to Lijiang, Dali and Shangri-la.
I went to Kunming last December. There are 26 ethnic minorities in Yunnan, so there are a lot of different cuisines. What was even more surprising was that the weather was very similar to that of Los Angeles. Love the city soooooooooo much ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The fictional location in Avatar is based off a place in China.... not this place though, but instead, a place called Zhangjiajie in central China, which, unsurprisingly, is also a popular tourist attraction.
Awesome stuff Doug, I havent been back to China for over 7 years. KunMing is definitely one of those places as chinese my self would love to go to. and thanks for taking us along for the view.
An interesting fact is that when the director of the avatar was shooting the film, they decided to come to china the place which is called guangxi province, they went to Guilin city and captured the landscape and views and became the model of the avatar planet landscape in the film, so if you have time to come to china next time, u can go visit Guilin, the view and landscape in Guilin really looks like the avatar planet
It can be seen that you are a very professional traveler, you can always find delicious Chinese food. I have watched many people's travel videos to China. Most people go to China to drink Starbucks, eat KFC or McDonald's, eat bread, or some food in chain convenience stores, and don't even know to try authentic Chinese food. I just want to say that food is also part of traveling. Otherwise, if you just go to China to drink Starbucks and eat bread, what's the point? You did a great job. It seems that you have done your homework. I wish you a happy trip.
The vlog is wonderful! The food like noodles at 3:26 called “small pot rice noodles” because it was cooked by a copper small pot and made by rice, it’s the traditional foods in Yunnan. This province also have many beautiful landscapes, Dali and Lijiang at northwest are plateau, it has higher mountains such as Yulong snow mountain and clear lakes, at southern of Yunnan, Xishuangbanna is most like Thailand, the weather is hot and the city is Southeast Asia style.
I am not sure about the “to slurp” thing. Isn’t that a Japanese thing about how it shows enjoyment? I know growing up in China my parents told me off for slurping. 😅 maybe it differs from region to region. But yah it definitely won’t offend people in China.
1:48 That building is the only building left from my elementary school after it moved around 15 years ago, and where those food stalls are was our sports field back in time. Brought back a lot of good memories😢
Kunming is my hometown, Xianroubing is one of my favorite snacks. If you'll be visiting Kunming again in the future, I'd love to take you to try some of the more authentic dishes if I happen to be there.
3:12 India has also the same payment system India has more apps about 4-5 UPI apps which you’re talking about and India’s UPI is more integrated and interoperable and efficient then CHINA For example you can pay from a different app on your mobile while the shop may have different app’s barcode That’s how integrated India’s payment system is
Keep posting the videos, my brother. I support you. Your videos are very beautiful. You are a nice person and have a social personality. I hope to meet you.💟❤
I am from Kolkata, India and it is so much like Kunming. That pet market, we literally have the same in here at Galif street. The pace of life is also kind of similar laid back relaxed. And it is almost the same distance from Delhi as from Kunming.
Go to the west part of Sichuan Province where is close to Tibet Province. That place is called Daochengyading. Great mountains and lakes like in heaven. And another one near is called Seda where there are hundreds of red houses lived by the monks. It is a Buddha college. They will do special ceremony for people who pass away outdoor even the tourists are allowed to watch it.
Kunming or the Yunan province is one of the popular tourist destinations of Chinese. Hopefully it would soon become the one of the popular cities for foreign travellers.
Hello. Thank you for the great video. Very informative and entertaining. Finding your video is perfect timing for me. I'm an Australian living in Siem Reap Cambodia permanently. I have never been to China. Last week I randomly pick Kunming to visit as it is reasonably close (2 hours by air). So, with the assistance of your video, I even more motivated to visit Kunming and the surround in areas. I will also be sure to check out more of your videos. Cheers. 👍🙏
Good video with definitely good shooting and smooth editing skill!👍 Very beautiful view, thanks for sharing:) BTW, cities nearby Kunming are attractive too in a different way, like Lijiang, Dali, Xianggelila, Xishuangbanna ect, worthy to explore, which is also quite popular and famous among Chinese tourists all year round.
Yunnan province is a highly popular domestic tourist destination. This diverse province can be divided into two distinct regions. The first is the northwestern part of the province, which is known for its stunning natural landscapes. This includes the iconic Yulong and Meili snow-capped mountains, as well as the charming towns of Shangri-La, Lijiang, and Dali. The atmosphere here has a strong similarity to that of neighboring Tibet. The second region is the central-southern part of Yunnan, which has a distinctly Southeast Asian flavor. Not only is the cuisine reminiscent of the countries to the south-east Asia, but the tropical climate is also comparable. This region is home to Yunnan's most famous tea production sites, as well as a vast expanse of lush, tropical rainforest. Many Chinese tourists believe that visiting Yunnan at least three times is necessary to fully experience and appreciate the province's remarkable diversity and natural wonders.
Foreigners who are not used to eating local Chinese food need not worry, many places in China have KFC, McDonald's, coffee shops, and western restaurants where you can eat pasta, steak, and pizza!
Love your attitude and outlook. Thanks for another great video.
云南，one of the most beautiful place in China.💖🤗

Kunming got lot's of interesting night markets, more than 20 night markets, and it's also a huge capital city, and it's more beautiful at night.

I can’t wait to go back. Have been twice now our son was adopted from there.
Haven't been back for 20 years since last time I visited Yunnan
I love your videos, you are very energetic and good natured
I've heard the weather is consistent and lovely in Kunming, not hot or cold

India has also the same payment system
India has more apps about 4-5 UPI apps which you’re talking about
and India’s UPI is more integrated and interoperable and efficient then CHINA
For example you can pay from a different app on your mobile while the shop may have different app’s barcode
That’s how integrated India’s payment system is
awesome
don't forget to check the world famous flower market where you can buy a gorgeous bouquet for $3 or even $2.

The film setting of AVATAR is based on Zhangjiajie in Hunan province, a popular tourist destination especially after the release of that movie
china is clean safe dan developed
what else more u expect for?
Kunming or the Yunan province is one of the popular tourist destinations of Chinese. Hopefully it would soon become the one of the popular cities for foreign travellers.
as a domestic traveler I totally agree. people live in Yunnan province are really, REALLY patient
Thank you for visiting my hometown 😄
I really enjoyed this! Thanks so much!!
