Kunming-City

Kunming is the capital of Yunnan province. The name Kunming is related to the “Kunmi-people”, a minority which has disappeared in total. The city located “at the south of the clouds”, offers a variety of temples and pagoda. Although Kunming has always been under the influence of neighboring countries, it is now rapidly changing into just another Chinese economical center.

Yuantong-temple

The Buddhist temple is located in the north of the city. It is a fascinating area, which will take you through beautiful gardens to the “Eight-cornered Temple” of the goddess Guayin. In the main-building of the temple you will find a big marble Buddha statue.

Nancheng Gusi

Nancheng Gusi is the main mosque of the “Hoei”, Muslim of Kunming. Around the mosque you will find a lot of Islamic restaurants and shops.

Xisita

Xisita is the west-Pagoda, located in the south of the old-city part. It is called the west-Pagoda, because there were once 2 Pagodas. The other one, the east-Pagoda, has been destroyed by an earthquake, together with many temples.
