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 Seoul
Seoul rewards a district-by-district plan. Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon frame a day around older streets, while Myeongdong and Hongdae show different sides of its shopping and café culture. The Han River provides walking and cycling space between built-up neighbourhoods. Incheon International Airport lies west of the city on an island; its rail link makes Seoul Station a useful first point for many visitors arriving from India. Check the final metro connection before choosing a late arrival.

What's new in Seoul
- May 2025: Photography Seoul Museum of Art opened, adding a dedicated photography venue to the city’s museum choices.
- January 2026: Asiana Airlines moved from Incheon Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, changing the airport building and rail stop used by its passengers.
Tips for travellers from India
Hongdae is useful for an airport-rail arrival and an evening in its surrounding streets, while Myeongdong puts central shopping closer. A palace-focused stay can favour the Jongno area instead. The Airport Railroad’s express and stopping trains serve different purposes: the express links the airport with Seoul Station, while stopping services reach additional interchanges. Choose according to the hotel district.
Asiana moved to Terminal 2 on 14 January 2026, so older guides that send its passengers to Terminal 1 are out of date. Incheon’s official app and flight information identify the correct terminal before a return train ride. Gyeongbokgung and Bukchon belong together geographically, but Bukchon includes residential lanes and should be approached as a lived-in neighbourhood. Hongdae is a separate western outing rather than the next stop on a palace walk. The Han River also has many access points; select a particular riverside park instead of navigating to the river in general. That choice determines the useful metro station and prevents an unnecessary crossing of Seoul.
Best time to visit Seoul
April to May or September to October, about 10–24°C, for outdoor districts.
