Kunming Hotels - Hotel discounts direct from the wholesaler
to you
The region of Kunming has been inhabited for 20000 years. Tomb excavations
around Lake Dian to the south of the city have unearthed thousands of
artefacts from that period -- weapons, drums, paintings, and silver, jade
and turquoise jewelry - that suggest a well-developed culture and provide
clues to a very sketchy early history of the city. Unit the 8th century
the town was a remote Chinese outpost, but the kingdom of Nanzhao, centred
to the northwest of Kunming at Dahi, captured it and made it a secondary
capital. In 1274 the Mongols came through sweeping all and sundry before
them. Marco Polo, who put his big feet and top hat in everywhere, gives
us a fascinating picture of Kunming's commerce in the late 13th century.
Below you will find a comprehensive listing of Kunming Hotels by Locations.
