Next stop for me is the city of Kunming (昆明) from where I'm catching train K166 to Baoji (宝鸡).
Kunming is hailed as a city where one enjoys an eternal spring with fresh flowers all year round. Even in winter time, when I am there, streets are characterized with green grass and blooming, colorful flowers.
The blue color of the sky in Kunming is incomparable. It is said that when you unfold your arms, you are embracing the clouds. During the winter season, one can "touch" the blue sky and white clouds.
The Stone Forest in Kunming is called the "museum of stones" with its very distinct karst stones. Kunming people say that Beijing boasts the Great Wall, Shanghai is popularly embracing tourists, Guilin is known for its hill crests and Kunming has the best rare stones. When I'm on schedule I will certainly try to visit the stone forest.
Kunming is very rich in natural hot springs.as most of the geothermal resources have been untouched throughout the centuries. For me, it would be the first time to enjoy a real natural hot spring if I'm able to visit one in Kunming. I have seen hot springs before, but never had a chance to go in. Hopefully I can manage to do that this time around!
Like every region in China, Kunming also has its own distinct, unique, special food. It is said that the flavor of tasty food can be smelled on every street. Favorite dishes in Kunming are roasted crispy duck, pineapple steamed rice and fried peameal. Makes me hungry already!
Walking on streets in Kunming, it is easy to meet a girl holding flowers in her arms, for no particular reason at all. Like Paris or Venice, Kunming is a romantic city. The fresh flowers are the symbol of the city, a common detail in everyday life and a way to express happiness.
