Besides striking outdoors, a lion’s share of Kunming’s popularity comes from its gateway location on the famous Silk Road. Several centuries ago Kunming served as a major trade crossing for Tibet, Sichuan, Myanmar and India facilitating the silk trade between these destinations. Situated at the very start of the road Kunming capitalized its position, therefore developing quickly into the political, economical and cultural center of Yunnan. Over time transport, science and technologies have reshaped the city towards a chic destination and one of the most popular tourist centers in Southwest China.
The snowball effect upon Kunming’s tourism came hand-in-hand with the cultural flavor of more than 26 ethnic minorities living in the city.
