- In this vlog, I'm in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, China! I'm exploring this lesser-known city, and telling you why I think it's one of the best and most underrated tourist destinations in China. In this video, we'll visit downtown Kunming, a few local markets, and Green Lake Park. And we'll take a trip outside the city to the Yunnan Stone Forest!
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING

Most foreigners never heard of Yunnan, but in China it's one of the most well known provinces for tourism and it's super popular among Chinese tourists.
Maybe they should learn a thing or two
As a Chinese, I have visited almost most of our country. I would like to give you some recommendations. There are many beautiful snow mountains in Yunnan, such as Meili Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, as well as hiking holy places, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Antarctic Luo, etc., and I think which are more shocking than the city scenery. You are also welcome to go to Xinjiang or Tibet, which has the best scenery in China! welcome everyone to China!

不需要，除了少部分边境地区，那部分地区即使中国人也需要提前办理通行证@@outsidetheconfines
Loving the China vids so far Doug!!!!!!
Thanks for the love Doug. Hopefully we will cross paths soon. I'm starting travel vlogs too. Will need to take one of those tours you do.
wow! Awesome amazing beautiful! Thank for sharing! ❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a wonderful place is. Make me want to travel there! Thank you!
glad you liked it!
welcome
Yunnan has many amazing cities, such as Pu 'er, Yuxi, Dali, and so on, there are many ethnic food, I hope you have time to explore one by one, it is best to find a local knowledge of the people as your guide, there are many foreigners in Yunnan at present, they are very integrated and understand the local life. Thank you for liking my hometown! Enjoy your journey! 🥰
First time watching, enjoyed to see such a seasoned and cool traveller
thanks a lot!
Cool to see they still have a preserved historic old town!
The Travel Content GOAT!
my man 🙏🙏🙏
Loved this! Beautiful clean city with great food! Love the editing and drone footage as well. Park and forest were great to see!
thanks dad!
Thanks!
thank you so much!! i really really appreciate the support!!
大哥你好有钱啊
Nice video! Kunming is a very beautiful city, with so much to offer. I love the ambience and the nature. Its very interesting to see such unique, unusual,and stunning landscape like the stone forest. The local foods looks good and China is very modern and high tech using cashless mobile payments alipay and electric vehicles. Great China series and im looking forward for your upcoming videos about this country.
Such a beeeautiful park.
Kunming is a very beautiful city
You got to go back and continue to Dali, Lijiang and other cities in Yunnan. 😊
It can be seen that you are a very professional traveler, you can always find delicious Chinese food. I have watched many people's travel videos to China. Most people go to China to drink Starbucks, eat KFC or McDonald's, eat bread, or some food in chain convenience stores, and don't even know to try authentic Chinese food. I just want to say that food is also part of traveling. Otherwise, if you just go to China to drink Starbucks and eat bread, what's the point? You did a great job. It seems that you have done your homework. I wish you a happy trip.
thank you! i loved it !
云南，one of the most beautiful place in China.💖🤗
Just subscribed. Love your China videos. Hope to see more.
Keep posting the videos, my brother. I support you. Your videos are very beautiful. You are a nice person and have a social personality. I hope to meet you.💟❤
I really like his Vlogs, they have such positive energy
thanks a lot!
Love your attitude and outlook. Thanks for another great video.
kunming is known as the “spring city” and “flower city” in China, the weather in kunming is always warm as in spring which is the best condition for flower planting.
There are so many beautiful places in China that you can never see them all in your lifetime!
很多中国人自己都不一定能玩遍全国😂，面积太大了，好吃的，好玩的有很多
This brother is a real travel guru, I tell you what , my IELTS is 6.5 and I still can't travel in the US without a tour guide, but this brother can spend a week in China only in English😂
Very good video blog. I hope you will come to the city of Basra in Iraq 🇮🇶❤
Love you, Doug from Iraq 🔥❤
Welcome to China!Passion from Xiamen,another famous city to traval.
Awesome video. Keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤❤
thank you,have fun
I really enjoyed this! Thanks so much!!
The fictional location in Avatar is based off a place in China.... not this place though, but instead, a place called Zhangjiajie in central China, which, unsurprisingly, is also a popular tourist attraction.
Thanks for introducing my hometown for people all over the world!
I can’t wait to go back. Have been twice now our son was adopted from there.
Thx for sharing
封面这是我小时候天天骑车玩的广场，就在我家旁边哈哈哈，现在我爸妈还住在那里，总之欢迎来到昆明
An interesting fact is that when the director of the avatar was shooting the film, they decided to come to china the place which is called guangxi province, they went to Guilin city and captured the landscape and views and became the model of the avatar planet landscape in the film, so if you have time to come to china next time, u can go visit Guilin, the view and landscape in Guilin really looks like the avatar planet
桂林山水甲天下，意思是，桂林山水天下第一
China is definitely a top choice for travel and I look forward to my next visit to China.
beautiful work🥰
I am not sure about the “to slurp” thing. Isn’t that a Japanese thing about how it shows enjoyment? I know growing up in China my parents told me off for slurping. 😅 maybe it differs from region to region. But yah it definitely won’t offend people in China.
Awesome stuff Doug, I havent been back to China for over 7 years. KunMing is definitely one of those places as chinese my self would love to go to. and thanks for taking us along for the view.
china is clean safe dan developed
what else more u expect for?
Keep up the awesome work man!
WOW Doug you are such a foodie! 😋☺Seeing you try and enjoy these food also makes me so happy

Great vlog Doug. Loved the old guy at 5 mins in 😂
Thank you brother! The foreigners learnt more about the cities in China from your videos!❤❤
Hello Doug, don't forget to visit us in Iraq, we love you and welcome all tourists ❤🇮🇶
as a domestic traveler I totally agree. people live in Yunnan province are really, REALLY patient
Welcome to changsha i hope meet to you
Haven't been back for 20 years since last time I visited Yunnan
Appreciation from Kunming. Welcome back again to explore more.
thanks a lot!
Love you doug❤
Thank you! I'm heading to Kunming the day after tomorrow!
Thank you for all this useful information that I learned through you
Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province, which is famous for its view, whether and unique ethnic culture. In kunming you should visit (maybe) the world's largest flower market Dounan, and then take train to Lijiang, Dali and Shangri-la.
I spent 4 years in Kunming; it's really nice and less crowded. In Kunming, I strongly recommend visiting the Chenggong Flower Market, Haigeng Dam Park, and Cuihu Park. You can also rent an e-bike to ride around Dianchi Lake; it's a really wonderful experience. In Yunnan province, you can also visit Lijiang, Dali, Shangri-La, and Xishuangbanna. The vibes in these places are completely different, but all of them are charming, lovely, and safe. I want to visit Yunan every year.
1:48 That building is the only building left from my elementary school after it moved around 15 years ago, and where those food stalls are was our sports field back in time. Brought back a lot of good memories😢
I went to Kunming last December. There are 26 ethnic minorities in Yunnan, so there are a lot of different cuisines. What was even more surprising was that the weather was very similar to that of Los Angeles.
Love the city soooooooooo much ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Stone forest 👍👍👍
I paid $600 for my red poodle 16 years ago in Los Angeles. This was a bargain, other places was charging $3000 dollars

Nice video
I love your videos, you are very energetic and good natured
Good video with definitely good shooting and smooth editing skill!👍 Very beautiful view, thanks for sharing:) BTW, cities nearby Kunming are attractive too in a different way, like Lijiang, Dali, Xianggelila, Xishuangbanna ect, worthy to explore, which is also quite popular and famous among Chinese tourists all year round.
Yunnan province is a highly popular domestic tourist destination. This diverse province can be divided into two distinct regions. The first is the northwestern part of the province, which is known for its stunning natural landscapes. This includes the iconic Yulong and Meili snow-capped mountains, as well as the charming towns of Shangri-La, Lijiang, and Dali. The atmosphere here has a strong similarity to that of neighboring Tibet.
The second region is the central-southern part of Yunnan, which has a distinctly Southeast Asian flavor. Not only is the cuisine reminiscent of the countries to the south-east Asia, but the tropical climate is also comparable. This region is home to Yunnan's most famous tea production sites, as well as a vast expanse of lush, tropical rainforest.
Many Chinese tourists believe that visiting Yunnan at least three times is necessary to fully experience and appreciate the province's remarkable diversity and natural wonders.
don't forget to check the world famous flower market where you can buy a gorgeous bouquet for $3 or even $2.
Sadly the flower n bird market is gone
@yaoliang1580 what happened?

I love Yunnan so much 🥲 thanks for sharing
welcome to China Doug,hope you traveling well here
Welcome to Kunming!~~I come from Kunming~~
Nice.
My hometown
Nice puppies!🤗😍
I am mohsin we meet today in babylon, you do good work I fellow you
🤗👍🏻💐
welcome to my hometown！
Go to the west part of Sichuan Province where is close to Tibet Province. That place is called Daochengyading. Great mountains and lakes like in heaven. And another one near is called Seda where there are hundreds of red houses lived by the monks. It is a Buddha college. They will do special ceremony for people who pass away outdoor even the tourists are allowed to watch it.
Doug you can plan Xishuangbanna, Dali/Lijiang and Diqing if you plam to visit Yunnan for the second time
Welcome to Kunming🎉❤
非常棒的视频，欢迎来到我的家乡。
小学的时候去过
You have a beautiful home ❤
Every city is best city in china in their own way.
Very Good video
Loving it that you're enjoying your trip brother! Are you there while on reserve duty?
i’m not in the military! my hat is for an american football team
不错，很喜欢，拍的有感觉
I've heard the weather is consistent and lovely in Kunming, not hot or cold
If you think Kunming is the best and most underestimated tourist city, then I can only say that you are wrong. For foreigners, the most underestimated must be Xizang and Xinjiang
还有青海 以及东北地区，中国有非常丰富的自然景观和人文景点～
underestimate是什么意思😅只有不为人知才能用这个词，新疆西藏比云南有名多了好吧，再说了，外国人一堆地方去不了，西藏甚至要单独开证明才能去😅
每个区域都有它独特的地方，博主喜欢某个地方因为与他个人体验以及以往的生活经验相关。在推荐其他地方的时候，无需否定别人的感受。你这样的表达方式有失偏颇。
对！一堆边疆地区和军事地区去不了😂😂😂@@user-ju9wi6me9d
为什么某些人这么执着于纠正别人的个人观点？人家喜欢昆明不行吗？说是最好的城市有问题吗？他代表他自己，也没代表你！
Hi, Kunming is a Tourism City，welcome everyone to come and play in Spring City
I love ittttt❤
Funny you say that about feeling like you're in Avatar. They were inspired by China's Zhangjiajie National Park when making the film
The Yunda Campus near the Green Lake is worth checking out. Very tranquil and pretty.
Wow, it seems there were few people in the stone forest, just you and nature. That's rare in China👍
The film setting of AVATAR is based on Zhangjiajie in Hunan province, a popular tourist destination especially after the release of that movie
Always wanted to go to Dali which is also in Yunnan!
الغالي Doug
Not from Yunnan, but I love Yunnan best. Different cities have different nationalities, sceneries and cultures
love from China
The Avatar planet is based on Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province, it is a magnificent place
I invite you to come and discover Morocco too, you will love it !
Welcome to Kunming
Getting from turkey❤❤
Yunnan is one of the most beautiful province in China
CHINA as a whole is the best kept secret
