The year is nearly at its end, which means it's time once again to start the nomination process for GoKunming's annual Best of Kunming reader survey.

Below are initial nominees for Kunming's top establishments for food, drink and entertainment, as selected by GoKunming's editorial board. Voting for the winners will start in a few weeks, but first we would like to take this chance to solicit more nominations from GoKunming readers.

To nominate any of your favorite places that we may have omitted, please send us your nominee's contact information if it is not in our listings. Also include the categories for which you are nominating them. Submissions may be made via our contact form.
