When you arrive at Kunming Airport, your local guide will be waiting for you holding a signboard with your name on it at the arrival lobby. Then you will be escorted to your hotel by a private driver and vehicle. If you arrive early in the day, you could seize the chance to explore a bit this scenic city on your own.

After breakfast, you will be transferred by a 1.5-hour drive to the incredible Stone Forest, the top one attraction in Kunming. It is a bizarre labyrinth-like forest made up of karst peaks, caves and towers forming out of nowhere in millions of years ago. Standing on the viewing deck, you could make best use of your imagination to check out the vivid animal images in the oddly-shaped pinnacles, and take a memorial picture with the famous stone figure Ashima. There are optional battery cars shuttling between different spots of the scenic area, with young girls of Yi ethic minority singing lively folk songs for visitors. 

Then you will be escorted back to the downtown and thrown into the stunning Green Lake Park, an oasis inlaid in the urban center. You could discover spectacles in each season, like greenery trees in spring, and blooming lotus in summer. Particularly in autumn and winter, you have a chance to meet thousands of migrant red-billed seagulls straying on the lake. It is of great fun to join the locals to feed them. After that, delight yourself by the eye-openers in a buzzing Flowers and Birds Market, where you are able to find many queer and funny stuff, such as rare floras, lovely birds, aquarium fishes, curios, antiques and ethnic costumes and jewelries. It is a bargaining friendly market where you could get small knickknacks at good price.  

A morning excursion starts with a transfer to the West Hill. Located in the outskirts of Kunming city, West Hill has been a popular natural escape good for hiking and gazing far. Endowed with lush forest and freshening air, the hill enables you to enjoy a delightful adventure in the woods and discover the deep-seated Taoist temples. Lovely pavilions are set for you to stop for a breather during the climbing.

Ascend all the way up to the Dragon Gate and wonder at the miraculous Taoist grottos on the precipitous cliffs including niches, statues and reliefs accomplished by ancient craftsmen throughout 72 years. At the top of the entire West Hill lies a viewing deck where you could snap a spectacular panoramic view of the boundless Dianchi Lake and take stunning pictures. Your admirable Kunming tour concludes here.

Your guide and driver will see you off at the airport or railway station for your onward journey. Wish you a sweet trip home!
