Holidays To Kunming

Ready to explore stunning natural beauty dotted by gorgeous architecture and plenty of modern marvels? We thought you might be.

Our Kunming holidays introduce you to the "City of Eternal Spring", which is often dubbed China's most liveable city.

Kunming's rich history dates back over 2000 years to its emergence as a gateway to the Silk Road trade route. Today you can explore a laid-back but fast-growing metropolis that nonetheless remains a gorgeous place to kick back and get in touch with nature.

Things to Do in Kunming

Kunming's greatest natural wonder, the fabled Stone Forest, is an easy 80-km drive southeast of the city. Not sure how to get there? Book one of Wotif’s Kunming car hire options and get moving, traveller! Covering some 400 square kilometres, the forest is named for its thousands of "impossible" karst rock formations that have grown out of the earth over millions of years. While you’re there, hang out with the local Sani minority there and learn some of their lore.

Once you’re back in town, take in the beauty of Green Lake Park at the foot of Luofeng Mountain, near Yunnan University. Once part of the mighty Dianchi Lake, it's where the residents come to practice tai chi, drink tea in the many cafes or just stroll along the water's edge.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Your holiday to Kunming isn’t complete without checking out the local woodcarving, weaving and embroidery. The Nan Yao Market by the railway station is one of the best spots to find handicraft bargains. Pick up some artwork in Chuang Ku, a revamped factory area west of downtown that's been turned into galleries and cafes for modern Chinese artists and photographers. Kunming also has plenty of department stores for all your Western essentials.

Delve into the local cuisine on your Kunming holiday—you can thank us later. You’re in for a bounty of fresh fruit and vegetables, which the local eateries put to great use. Mushrooms are big here, with more than 200 varieties. For a meatier meal, try the slow-cooked, soft and flavoursome bittern duck and steaming-pot chicken. Need some more variety? Plenty of restaurants also dish up tasty servings of your favourite Western foods from home. Kunming's central Wuhua district has the biggest concentration of places to chow down.

The city comes alive at night as locals, students, expats and travellers turn up the heat. The area around Kundu Night Market has a lot of the action, but there are plenty of other choices throughout the city. Relax over a wide selection of China's local beers in the friendly bars many stage live music and DJs later on to keep the good times jumping into the wee small hours. Book a Kunming holiday package and get ready to uncover the popular discos where locals shimmy away the night to thumping techno.
