Hi,
I wonder, how is kunming on a weekend, comparing to the rest of the week? I just recognized, that we shall come to kunming on a weekend (most probably saturday morning, arriving from dali) and leave on sunday or monday morning, coming back another friday and leave on saturday by plane to bangkok. That means we only have less than 2 days to make sightseeing in kunming, therefore the question.
Is it crowed with tourist on sightseeing points at the weekend? Or do most people move out of town?
Crowded. But providing it's not a holiday and you get places early it won't be too crowded. Traffic will most likely be better than on a weekday.
Won't be as crowded as Dali, so no worries there. Parks are pretty active with lots of people taking up the green space with tents.
Well, perhaps I don't go to enough parks - Cuihu (Green Lake Park) is about it - but I haven't seen a lot of tents or a lot of green space. Cuihu on a weekend is sometimes a bit crowded, but it's okay and in a nice area of the city.
Alex is right, if you go to the parks with lawns you'll see a tent or two to provide shade
