Situated in the southwest of China, Yunnan is a hot tourists destination with abundant natural resources. Every year, thousands of travelers from home and abroad go there for the purpose of exploring its beauty. Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan, is one of the most popular tourist destination. The weather in Kunming is fine and comfortable, neither chilly in winter nor sweltering in summer. That's why Kunming is also known as "Spring City" in China. Recent years, with the development of the transportation, more and more travelers get to Tibet from Kunming by multiple ways, including by air, by overland, or by train.
