Our First Day Back in China was Shocking - We have arrived in a brand new province in China and we were blown away by it's beauty and the friendly locals we met. Kunming, China is definitely not what we expected. We highly recommend visiting this incredible city when travelling China. It is not just a gateway to Yunnan but it also has a vibrant culture, busy streets and beautiful architecture.
