Since the bus dropped me off at the new eastern bus station which is a little far away from the city, took bus 193 to the east station. Took bus 62 and walked to Camilia Hostel,
Unfortunately, it’s close for renovation.
Kunming has a population of around 6 million and is the capital of Yunnan province. During the 8th century, the Kingdom of NanZhou, a tibetan-burmese kingdom captured it and made it a secondary capital. Many Chinese migrated to this region during the Japanese occuption. There are many ethnic minorities living here and they made up a big percentage of the population in Yunnan. The weather here is quite cool as well.
