Day 2 Kunming

Sightseeing and Activities:Western Hills, Yunnan Nationalities Village
Accommodation: Kunming
Meals: Breakfast, lunch

This morning,visit Western Hills. Viewed from a distance, the skyline of the Western Hills’ forest reserve resembles a beautiful maiden reclining leisurely alongside of Dianchi Lake with her long hair drifting casually in the mirror-like water. It is for this reason that the local people gave the Western Hills the nickname, Sleeping Beauty Hills. Then go through the Dragon Gate, which is the steepest spot in the Western Hills and well worth climbing up the winding old stone stairs because the view is spectacular, visit Huating Temple, which is the largest Buddhist temple in Kunming and its history stretches back to 900 years.

After lunch, drive to Yunnan Nationalities Village. It is a good place for visitors to appreciate Yunnan culture and traditions of all the ethnic groups in the province. In order to exhibit the customs and conventions of the 26 nationalities in Yunnan, it is planned to build 26 natural villages, giving prominence to the architectures of various nationalities. Each nationality has its particularities in terms of language, religion, and in the ways of conducting themselves in relation to others, in attire, eating habits, the way of travelling, festivities, marriage, birth and burial customs, just as people say that “Yunnan has ten thousand kinds of customs and conventions”.
