Kunming has few natural landmarks to help guide you around, but its layout is uncomplicated. The city hangs off two main thoroughfares:
Beijing Lu
forms the north-south axis, passing just east of the centre as it runs for 5km between the city's two train stations; while
Dongfeng Lu
crosses it halfway along, divided into east (Dongfeng Dong Lu), middle (Dongfeng Zhong Lu) and west (Dongfeng Xi Lu) sections as it cuts right through the business centre. The far end runs out of the city as
Renmin Xi Lu
, the first leg of the Burma Road. Most of the city's accommodation lies along Dongfeng Dong Lu and the southern half of Beijing Lu, while the majority of specific sights are north and west of the centre around Dongfeng Xi Lu and
Cuihu Park
. Circling most of this is the city's first highway ring road,
Huancheng Lu
, though others are planned for the near future. Other useful information
for tourists (each section contains more specific sub-sections): |
