Kunming in 2 days a realistic plan Only two days in

Kunming in 2 days a realistic plan Only two days in Kunming. Here is a solid plan. Day 1 city highlights Morning at Green Lake Park and a nearby breakfast street. Late morning at Yunnan Provincial Museum. Free and excellent. Lunch for Crossing the Bridge Noodles. Afternoon at Flower and Bird Market. Evening at Kunming Old Street for dinner. Day 2 nature and culture Morning at Western Hills for views of Dianchi Lake. Climb to Dragon Gate carved into the cliff. Lunch for Steam Pot Chicken. Afternoon at Yunnan University campus with beautiful old buildings. Evening for night market food. What to skip if short on time The World Horti Expo Garden is overrated and far from center. Dianchi Lake cruise. The lake is polluted and the view from Western Hills is better. Western Hills and Dragon Gate take 3 to 4 hours. Start before 9am to avoid crowds.
