I went to Kunming as I had/have a cunning plan, I want to spend a couple of weeks travelling around the Yunnan province visiting Dali, Lijang, Shangri-la and possibly further north, I have also decided to make the most of my double entry Chinese visa and stay on for a few more weeks via a few days most probably in Laos. As such I only spent two days in Kunming as I figure that I'll be back as its the main route to Laos by land.
There is not that much to see in Kunming, its more of a stopping off point to other places in China and beyond. I went to another Temple (Yuantong) that again was lovely, peaceful and had hardly any tourists (bonus), another park, called Green Lake Park and finally Kunming Zoo!
Oh my god, the Zoo, I have heard about Zoo's in China but seeing them is something else, the enclosures are atrocious basically small concrete houses surrounded by fences and not very much greenery for the animals, in fact it made me feel quite ill. I also thought that I was being followed by security as I took so many pictures of the animals looking so sad.
The rest of my time in Kunming I finally started to get my blog up to date and made a start on adding some pictures for you to see if you want (I haven't loaded them all as I wouldn't want to bore you all with them). Oh and I also booked a hard sleeper top bunk to Dali, my next stop.
