Smell the roses in the Spring City.

Smell the roses in the Spring City.

Kūnmíng has a flavour all of its own that seems a world away from Běijīng. A thoroughly modern Chinese city, wide palm-lined roads and skyscrapers have replaced quaint alleyways and charming wooden buildings. But despite rapid economic growth, Kūnmíng is one of the more relaxed and cosmopolitan Chinese cities and an enjoyable place to spend a few days.
