Destination & City Travel Guide
About Kunming
Kunming is often a gateway to wider Yunnan, but its own streets justify a slower start. Green Lake Park is close to older neighbourhoods, and Yuantong Temple gives a quieter stop within the urban core. The Stone Forest is outside the city and needs a separate excursion. Travellers from India can use the airport metro, though reaching a central hotel may require a line change. Keep the airport and railway station names distinct when planning onward travel.

Tips for travellers from India
Green Lake is a useful base for a first visit focused on older Kunming, with Yuantong Temple and central neighbourhood walks forming a manageable programme. A hotel chosen for Kunming South railway station serves a different purpose and places the emphasis on an onward train rather than the older urban core. Keep that distinction in mind when dividing nights between Kunming and other Yunnan destinations.
Metro Line 6 links Changshui Airport with Tangzixiang through the eastern side of the city. East Bus Station is an interchange on this route, not the only possible end point for an airport journey. Use the station nearest the hotel to decide where to change. Kunming Station and Kunming South are also separate railway destinations, so the departure station should be settled before arranging the final transfer.
Put the Stone Forest on a dedicated excursion outside the city. It does not fit naturally between Green Lake and Yuantong Temple, even though all three often appear in a short itinerary. Dianchi Lake forms another outing away from the older streets and can become the focus of a separate day. For a brief stop, the Green Lake area and Kunming Old Street give a more compact introduction before taking on those longer trips.
Best time to visit Kunming
March to May or September to November, about 12–24°C, for parks and excursions.

About Chengdu
Chengdu has several reasons to stay beyond a brief airport connection. The Giant Panda Breeding Research Base is best visited early, while Wuhou Shrine and nearby Jinli Street work well later in the day. Kuanzhai Alleys and People’s Park offer a different pace around tea and local snacks. Travellers from India should check that their ticket uses Shuangliu Airport, since Chengdu has another major airport at Tianfu. The two are far apart and require different transfers.

What's new in Chengdu
- December 2025: Metro Line 30 opened from Shuangliu Airport Terminal 2 East, adding a rail option across the southern urban districts.
- July 2026: Shuangliu Terminal 1 resumed international operations; EVA Air moved its Chengdu flights there from 31 July.
Tips for travellers from India
Chunxi Road is a useful hotel area for a city stay, while accommodation around Wuhou Shrine favours the shrine and Jinli Street. Neither location puts the panda base next door: that attraction belongs on a separate northern outing. Pair Wuhou and Jinli together, then reserve another part of the visit for People's Park and Kuanzhai Alleys.
Shuangliu has Metro Line 10 as well as the new Line 30 option at Terminal 2 East. Pick the route by the destination district and interchange, rather than assuming every airport train runs directly to the same central station. Tianfu Airport requires a different transfer plan altogether.
Du Fu Thatched Cottage is another reason to spend time west of the main shopping streets. It can anchor a literary and garden visit instead of becoming a quick detour on a panda day. Keeping the panda base, Wuhou area and western cultural sights on distinct outings gives Chengdu a more realistic rhythm for a short visit.
Best time to visit Chengdu
March to May or September to November, about 12–25°C, for outdoor visits.
