Tips for Traveling in Kunming

Kunming is a great transit hub for exploring the surrounding areas, and there are plenty of places worth checking out in the city itself. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when visiting these spots. 1. Tongzilou (Aocheng Building): Currently under renovation. Navigate to the Jiuxiaoguan Fusion Restaurant and take the elevator on the left to the sixth floor. Using the 0.5x wide-angle lens on your phone will give you great photos. 2. Luggage storage: Use the WeChat mini-program "Tu Jiandan" (途简单) to find nearby luggage storage locations. It's safe and you won't have to worry about finding empty lockers. Luggage storage costs CNY 10 per day, and backpacks are CNY 5 per day. 3. Flower wall at Cuihu Park: Navigate to Jiulong Pond, which is near the north gate. 4. Taking the subway to Kunming South Railway Station: Line 4 has two terminal stations: University South Station and Kunming South Railway Station. Pay close attention to the train's destination.
