Discovering Kunming and Yunnan Providence

The world is full of adventure and stories after 30 plus years of travel and business trips.  Sharing another recent visit to Asia with Jesse Tam to the southwest providence of Yunnan. Our friends have visited Seattle many times during the summer/winter holidays and asked that I reciprocate with going to see Kunming.  It took many years before I decided to depart Seattle International airport and venture to this city with a different dialect and rich culture.

Kunming  City of Eternal Spring - Jesse Tam
Kunming is an important trade and port gateway for China from Vietnam and southeast Asia.  It provides oil pipelines and natural resources to help with China's economical needs and suppliers. As one of China's famous ancient and cultural cities, it's history can be traced backed to 30,000 years. The mild climate with year round flowers and blossoms gives the city the nickname "City of Eternal Spring".
Traditional food
Serving some of the local traditional food on large bamboo leaves with display on table top.

Interesting experience trying out different food and culture in southwestern China. The mild climate produces plenty of vegetables and varieties of fruit
 A very interesting meal where eating is with the hands and no utensils. Enjoying new friendship and food with people in Kunming.  A city with many dialects, backgrounds and years of culture. Travel opens doors to understanding others and making new friendship.  Gathering with Jesse and learning to speak another Chinese dialect.
