We meet at Kunming airport at 14:00, and drive to our hotel to check in and get a short rest from the long flight. If time permit (depending on tme of arrival in Kunming), we leave for the Western Hills. A stunning combination of flourishing vegetation and ancient temples, lying beside Dianchi Lake, the hills are a great place to roam and relax away from the bustling city. We visit the various temples, and enjoy the tranquil environment. In the evening, we visit the flower and birds market before proceeding to dinner.
