Safety in Kunming

In general Kunming is a safe city, but its reputation is often regarded as quite the opposite among the Chinese.  The mafia is known to wield considerable power in Yunnan, and this influence certainly does not escape Kunming.  Most taxi drivers carry some form of weapon to protect themselves from robbery.  As a foreigner you should do as you would in any city you aren’t familiar with - keep your wits about you, be careful not travel alone late at night, and do not carry too much money at any given time.
