Kunming - Place worth moving to.

Great city to visit. Vibrant, breathable, interesting,historical and most of all relaxed. The city is reasonably large and spread out around the lake Dianchi, but the interesting part of the city center is actually rather compact and easy to navigate on foot or with one of the numerous e-bikes you can find parked almost everywhere. Aim to have your hotel somewhere between WuYi and the DongFeng Guang Chan subway stations if you want to be close to the pedestrian streets and tourist center. There are some places you will want to use the subway or taxi for, like the XiShan or the Yunnan Ethnic village, both of which I highly recommend, but Green Lake park, Yuantong temple, NanChang Jie, Kunming Lao Jie are all situated in the center and easily reached on foot. The climate in winter was super pleasant, with bright clear skies and comfortable 15-20c during the day. During the night the temperature drops considerably, but it does not seem to stop the locals from dining on the open terraces. The city actually has so many great things to see and visit, that it is basically up to you how long you wish to stay. We extended our stay twice and honestly, I would seriously consider moving to this city long term, because it does feel like it has got it all. #urbanexplorer
