What must be mentioned is the special climate when talking about Kunming. This city is located at an elevation of about 1890m on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, having a milder climate than other Chinese cities. Owing to its comfortably warm weather, with flowers and plants being exuberant all year round, Kunming is given the title – the "Spring City". It is suitable to visit this city at any time of a year.
