Where to stay in Kunming
3 hand-picked foreigner-friendly hotels Β· ζζ Β· updated quarterly
Kunming is the gateway to Yunnan β most travelers stay 1-2 nights before heading to Dali, Lijiang, or Shangri-La. The Spring City stays 15-25Β°C year-round, so hotels focus on garden courtyards rather than heating or AC. Dianchi Lake and the Old Town are the two main foreigner-friendly bases.
π Stay near Dianchi Lake for resorts or in the Old Town for walking access to Green Lake Park, Yunnan Provincial Museum, and the Bird & Flower Market.
