Things to do in Kunming

Tour guide: When planning the trip, I inquired with several travel companies, specifically asking if they had female guides. Klook recommended Sister Mei to us, saying that customers who had been with her thought she was exceptionally good. So, after comparing several options, we embarked on a five-day, four-night journey with Sister Mei as our driver. Unexpectedly, Sister Mei turned out to be a fantastic guide – patient, meticulous, conscientious, and responsible. She took everyone's feelings into account and took care of us without us having to say much. Sister Mei thoughtfully prepared fruits, snacks, and local delicacies for us. She never rushed us, cared about whether we were warm enough, and demonstrated excellent driving skills on difficult roads. I knew choosing a female driver and female guide wouldn't be a mistake!

Really recommended for our first time to China, agent sally so helpful, we have some changes, the arrangements were settled perfectly, accomodation okay and transport also good, tour guide also nice and friendly

The experience of this trip was very pleasant, and I will definitely come back. After all, Yunnan is such a beautiful place that it would be impossible to see everything in just one visit. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the tour. One of the main advantages of joining a guided tour is that everything is taken care of for you, so you don’t have to worry about anything. The itinerary includes all the major attractions, and the meals served on the tour bus are decent, with good flavors and plenty of food. The hotels are clean, comfortable, and relatively quiet, providing a good opportunity for rest throughout the trip. Breakfast is also excellent, and there is a different guide available at each location. Overall, I am very satisfied.

This tour is highly recommended for anyone who's looking to travel to Yunnan. The itinerary was really great, it didn't felt rushed and we felt like we got to visit many places. The accommodations were top-notch and had really great vibes and views. The tour guide assigned to us was 和师傅, he was very thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire trip. Bought us to local eateries and performances when we had time to spare. We learnt so much about the history of the many places that we drive through, the attractions we went and even about the difference tribes. I will definitely be bringing my family along again for a trip so they can experience what I experienced. Highly recommend 和师傅 for your tour!

We really enjoy this day tour which was well arranged and planned from end to end. Our tour guide, 海导 is very informative, friendly and thoughtful. Lunch included is also good. The scenery of Stone forest is really amazing. Dianchi Lake is just for bird watching

The guide was exclusively in Chinese. Just use a translator app. He really took care of our meals (requesting halal or vegetarian if the former not available).The was amazing, the stone forest time to explore was a little short (we requested to explore ourselves since we didn't understand the guide anyway - about 1 hour 15 min)

had a FANTASTIC time here. the park had lots of thrilling rides for adults and kids too. It is also way bigger than you might think. Went at 3pm yesterday and there wasn't much people so we managed to play everything we wanted by 7.30pm. If you love theme parks, this is the place for you!!!

I had always wanted to watch the peacock dance. I was expecting to sit through the show till the last 5 mins only for this specific dance but gosh I was so wrong! The performers were so professional! They danced, sang and played the drum so well! I had watched the ethnic dance on TV show and never understood the meaning. The screens at the sides provided both Chinese and English explanations. I was impressed how the performances could sing with their chest and they danced so hard throughout the performance. The peacock dancer had another part in the middle of the show which was better than the peacock dance itself. I could never imagine how one can move the body like that! The visual of the stage was good too. Unfortunately the theatre was less than maybe 10% filled. Please support these fantastic dancers and fabulous show!

From the very first step inside, it was wow! The staff were waiting to welcome us from afar, greeting us with a royal-like gesture. Everyone was dressed in traditional costumes, which instantly set the mood. The venue itself was grand and beautifully decorated. The food came in courses. About half of the dishes were absolutely delicious—surprisingly much better than I expected. The other half wasn’t really to my personal taste. The way the dishes were served was also impressive: the staff walked out in formation, like royal attendants, which added to the immersive atmosphere. As for the show, it was enjoyable though not as breathtaking as other performance I’ve seen in Chongqing. Still, the seating arrangement was very close to the stage, which made the experience feel intimate and engaging. I found myself appreciating it and cheering the performers on. Overall, it’s truly worth experiencing—and definitely worth going if you have the time!
