While Kunming is not especially known for it’s local cuisine, Yunnan-style Chinese food is increasingly becoming popular in other parts of China. Yunnan is even getting some global recognition as Pu’er tea and other local products are becoming more well-known. Recently, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, an upscale Chinese food chain in the United States has included Yunnan options in it’s menu.
Travelers without the time for a trip to the Xishuangbanna area of southern Yunnan can at least sample its native cuisine at any one of the Dai minority restaurants in town.
Kunming is also lucky enough to include several excellent western-style cafes that definitely hit the spot if you have the cravings and/or the shakes from what seems like endless amounts of rice and noodles.
Better yet, Kunming also seems to be one of the cheapest major cities in China for all of these dining options.
