I'm planning a short trip to Kunming shortly and was hoping to squeeze in a quick visit to Luosiwan trade city. As I'm not familiar with the bus system in Kunming, I was planning to take a taxi. Looking for an address, I came across two different ones, so I was hoping someone here could point me to the correct one to tell the taxi driver.
Just say the new one or the old one depending on which one you want to go, they will now what you mean.
For the new one.
Thanks for the replies.
I didn't know the old one was still open, thought they had closed it down completely... I would be looking for the yarn section. Any idea if that would be in the old one or the new one?
Never been to the old one, but if you have to pick, I'd go there. It's probably closer and more manageable.
The new one is far away and HUGE, in a bad way. The buildings are physically gigantic (you feel more ant than human there). Due to the spacing, the vendors are really spread out. It could easily take your whole day to just find the yarn vendor. The whole area has this cold/gray/lonely feel to it, despite the full parking lot and ebikes shuffling goods around.
Sometimes at new Luosiwan the overview sign will help to find a particular section.
I also thought the old one had closed - does anyone know if there is anything still there?
