Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province situated in China's South West, is a famous tourist destination in the country. The city boosts a benign climate and many folk customs and has a population of 4 million. It has been inhabited by the Chinese for 2000 years. One of Kunming's best features is its ideal climate---not too cold in the winter and not too hot in the summer. From May to October, the city experiences rainy weather. From then on, the city enjoys a relatively dry yet still comfortable season. As a result of its agreeable weather, flowers blossom throughout the year.
The city's highest point is Mazong Ridge of the Jiaozi Mountain in Luquan with an elevation of 4,247 m, and its lowest point is the joint of the Xiaojiang River and the Jinsha River in Dongchuan District, with an elevation of 695 m. Its downtown area is 1,891 m above sea level. Some noteworthy spots include the Dianchi Lake, the Cuihu Lake, the Village of Ethnic Culture, the Jindian Park, the Western Mountain Forest Reserve, the Stone Forest, the Jiuxiang Scenic Belt, the Yuantong Mountain, the Grand View Pavilion, and the Qiongzhu Temple.
