Kunming, in China’s Yunnan Province, is not only a great place to explore solo, with a partner or friends, but with kids as well. Here’s a glimpse of some of the many experiences you can enjoy on a family holiday in this enchanting city.

Spend Time in Nature at Green Lake Park
One of the best things to do in Kunming with your kids in tow is to explore Green Lake Park. This picturesque site, located just a 2-minute walk from the property of Park Hotel Group, offers a wonderful space for families since it’s home to bamboo forests, scenic lakes with decorated bridges, and more. There’s a spot where you can see koi, while during winter, you can feed red-billed seagulls, too.

See Exotic Wildlife at Kunming Zoo
Another great family attraction, Kunming Zoo offers fascinating animal encounters that kids will love. While it’s in an urban area, once you step inside, you will find yourself in a wonderfully scenic setting. Of course, the main draw is the wildlife, and this zoo features creatures from Yunnan and around the world; expect to see elephants, red pandas, wild buffalo, monkeys, tigers, zebras, kangaroos, peacocks and more.

Experience Culture at Yunnan Ethnic Village
For a rewarding cultural experience, Yunnan Ethnic Village is worth adding to your itinerary. Set amidst a vast, scenic area, it showcases the traditions and folk customs of more than 20 ethnic minorities found in the Yunnan Province. Families can enjoy wandering around this village where one can witness colourful dancing performances, visit wax museums, see traditional-style buildings and even join in some activities.
