What is it like there?
What is the temperature? Hear it is not too hot or cold.
How is it for foreigner? Is there a large expat community?
Anyway any info about this place is great.
Thanks
I've only been there for a few days. In late December/early January it was cool to cold, but not terribly so -- much better than Beijing. It's a smallish city. I couldn't advise regarding foreigners, other than to say I didn't see too many there. We were treated as we are in most cities -- no fuss made over us, treated just like everyone else. Though I would love to live in China, I'm not sure that Kunmin would be in my top five choices only because it's a rather provincial city -- I much prefer Beijing or Shanghai -- even Shenzhen.
Here's a video of Ciuhu Park there:
