Tour starts in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province and a historical and cultural city. Local people also call it “Spring City” because its climate is like spring all year round. Because of this, flowers bloom all year round, so Kunming is also called “Flower City”. We will show you China’s biggest fresh flower market- Dounan Flower Market, were you can learn how to arrange flowers. Visit the Western Hill, where you can visit temples carved on the side of a natural cliff and admire a big panoramic view of Kunming. Next to the dragon gate you will also find the largest Taoist grotto of Yunnan.
