1. Overview of Kunming Free Tour
Kunming, known as the "Spring City", has a unique charm that makes it a popular tourist destination for many visitors
One of the most prominent features of Kunming is its year-round spring like climate. This is located in the low latitude subtropical plateau mountain monsoon climate zone of north latitude, with an annual average temperature of around 15 ℃, the hottest month average temperature of around 19 ℃, and the coldest month average temperature of around 8 ℃. The highest extreme temperature in the past year was 31.2 ℃, and the lowest was -7.8 ℃. The temperature difference throughout the year is small, the temperature and humidity are suitable, the sunshine is long, the frost period is short, the flowers do not wither all year round, and the plants and trees remain evergreen throughout the year. Whenever you come to Kunming, you can feel the warm and comfortable climate, which makes you linger and forget to leaveThe rich natural landscape is also a major highlight of Kunming. Dianchi Lake, this highland pearl, covers an area of 330 square kilometers, with clear blue water and rippling waves. There is Haigeng Park in the surrounding area, about 7 kilometers away from the city center of Kunming. Here, there are long embankments in the lake, crisscrossing river ports, weeping willows on the embankments, and soft white sandy beaches, making it a natural lakeside swimming pool. Xishan, also known as "Sleeping Beauty Mountain", is located in the western suburbs of Kunming City, about 15 kilometers away from the city center. The scenic area covers an area of about 20 square kilometers, and the main attractions include Longmen, Huating Temple, and Taihua Temple. Longmen is a group of grottoes built along the mountain, with high artistic and historical value. In addition, there is also the Shilin Scenic Area, which is a world-renowned karst landscape covering an area of about 350 square kilometers. It is divided into three parts: the large stone forest, the small stone forest, and the outer stone forest. The stones have different shapes, resembling a stone forestThe profound cultural heritage has added infinite charm to Kunming. Kunming has a civilization history of over 3000 years and a city building history of 2300 years. The ancient Dian Kingdom held a dominant position in the Dianchi Lake region and later became part of the Central Plains dynasty's territory. During the period of Nanzhao Kingdom and Dali Kingdom, Kunming was respectively called Tuodong City and Shanchan City. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed Zhongqing City and Kunming County was established as the capital of Yunnan, which has been passed down to this day. There are numerous historical relics in Kunming, such as Yuantong Temple, Huating Temple, Kunming Confucian Temple, Jinma Bijifang, Old Street, etc., which record the integration of Central Plains culture and ethnic culture. Under the difficult conditions of the Anti Japanese War, Southwest Associated University continued the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, cultivated talents for the country, and embodied the national spirit, educational spirit, and anti Japanese spirit, forging and forming the urban character and culture of Kunming. In the new era, Kunming is committed to creating cultural landmark buildings, characteristic cultural blocks, and aesthetic spaces for daily life, making Kunming more culturally rich and high-quality2.

IV. Food Recommendations
(1) Yiliang Roast Duck
Yiliang Roast DuckRoast duck is a classic local traditional dish in Yunnan Province, originating from the Ming Dynasty and having a history of more than 600 years. It is suitable for both fat and thinness, with crispy skin, fragrant and tender inside, shiny and oily, bright red color, fragrant and bone free, and prominent local flavor
Yiliang roast duck is made from tender and strong ducklings that have been aged for less than 40 days, and is produced using a secret recipe passed down from ancestors. Its production is exquisite. The chef will make holes under the armpits of slaughtered and washed ducks, remove their internal organs and claws, massage them once, and add seasoning to blow air between the skin and flesh of the duck to make the body bulge. Then, hang the duck neck with a wire hook and slowly bake it on the inside of the furnace wall. A furnace can grill 10 to 12 ducks at the same time, using pine knots as fuel. When the smoke is exhausted, flip the duck body and apply honey water and lard to the skin. Then place the duck on the iron cover of the furnace, close the furnace door, and stew it all over the charcoal fire and heated furnace wall. To prevent duck oil from entering the fire and emitting black smoke to pollute the ducks, it is generally necessary to place an oil pan about 30 centimeters away from the pine charcoal fire on the duck body
Yiliang roast duck does not come with noodle skin, only with scallions and cucumber shreds to relieve greasiness. When eating Yiliang roast duck, it is more important to have salt, pepper, and sweet sauce. Take a piece of duck meat, especially the part with crispy bones, wrap it in sweet sauce, and then dip it slightly in salt and pepper and pass it to the mouth. The crispy skin, fragrant bones, and smooth meat are instantly stimulated, truly satisfying! According to incomplete statistics, there are over 100000 employees engaged in roasted duck work in Yiliang County
(II) Kunming Xiaoguo Rice Noodles
Kunming people love Xiaoguo rice noodles the most, and Xiaoguo rice noodles have become one of the most representative delicacies in Kunming. There are many small pot rice noodle shops in Kunming, and the following are some of the more popular ones:
- Tie Peng Small Pot Rice Noodles: The taste is heavy, and the crispy and delicious rice noodles are paired with a slightly salty and spicy soup base, making it quite satisfying to eat. If you add another deep-fried dough sticks and dip it in the soup, it will taste wonderful. The noodles in the store are also very good, with two types: wide and thin. I recommend wide noodles, which have a chewy texture. The fresh meat used for rice noodles is selected from the hind leg meat of local pigs, which not only has chewiness, but also has a very large quantity
- Duanshi Xiaoguo: The founder of Kunming Xiaoguo Rice Noodles. The origin of Duanshi Xiaoguo dates back to the middle of the Republic of China, when several Yuxi families in Kunming were selling rice noodles and bait silk by the fireplace. After accumulating some savings, they started their own businesses on Duanshi Street at that time. Due to the delicious taste, Kunming people would say "Let's go and eat Duanshi Xiaoguo" when they wanted to eat a bowl of rice noodles.

Then place the duck on the iron cover of the furnace, close the furnace door, and stew it all over the charcoal fire and heated furnace wall. To prevent duck oil from entering the fire and emitting black smoke to pollute the ducks, it is generally necessary to place an oil pan about 30 centimeters away from the pine charcoal fire on the duck body
Yiliang roast duck does not come with noodle skin, only with scallions and cucumber shreds to relieve greasiness.
