Kunming
Kunming is the capital of the Yunnan province. It's also the "sister town" of Zurich, but no-one seems to be aware of it here! Else, it's known for its eternal spring, flowers and cool bar scene. For us, it was a nice place to relax and buy cheap DVDs.
We stayed in the Hump, a guesthouse in the centre with an excellent view from its terrace.
Yunnan is known for wind-dried meats. It also has drinkable red wines and an acceptable goat cheese. With the baguette we found in the Carrefour supermarket, enough to improvise a french picnic mock-up.
To keep fit, we went for a little walk on the western hills behind Kunming. Nothing exceptional, but a nice enough escape from the city.
