After a few days of fun in Dali, we headed back to Kunming, the capital of Yunnan province. While this city is developing quickly along with the rest of China, it’s still quite easy to get lost in the countryside. We hiked up the Long Insect Mountain and spent the day roaming around cabbage patches and local villages. By night, we enjoyed some fantastic Dai minority food, and then hit the clubs of Kunming for some fun.
