Kunming, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, is celebrated for having spring-season weather all year.

The comfortable climate (about 18 C throughout the year), at least 26 diverse ethnic cultures, and a flexible and enjoyable lifestyle are hallmarks of the city.

The Lancang River - known as the Mekong River outside China - that flows across Yunnan province and through Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam has supported the creation of a sub-regional transport system. This includes highways, shipping channels and railways that radiate from Kunming and enormously enhance political, economic and cultural communication in the Greater Mekong Sub-region.

This provides locals with more chances to experience multifaceted cultural fusions.

You can find amazing authentic Thai and Burmese food on Sanheying Street, which teems with women clad in the ethnic attire of neighboring countries.

Two grandiose 17-story towers named Southeastern Asian Shopping on Haigeng Street sell a wide selection of commodities, including precious jade jewelry, and point toward the city's economic future.
