How beautiful is Yunnan? Don't just stare at Dali Lijiang! This place is clean and fun, and it is worth staying.

The provincial capital is generally the most famous in the province.

But there are exceptions to everything.

For example, Xiamen is more famous than Fuzhou, the provincial capital.

Another example is Lijiang, Dali.

Its popularity is higher than that of the provincial capital Kunming.

But?

Now more and more "people of insight"

Gradually focus on these relatively unpopular cities.

After all, it can become the provincial capital.

That's all with two brushes.

Take Kunming as an example.

As early as 278 BC, Yunnan established its capital here.

In 765, Nanzhao built Dongcheng, which was the beginning of Kunming's urban construction.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, the Li Yong regime of Nanming established its capital in Kunming.

......

Time has come to modern times.

1937, the rise of the anti-Japanese army.

Factories and schools in other places have moved in.

A large number of funds, equipment and talents flowed into Kunming.

Various factories and schools have been established in Kunming.

All these have promoted the economic prosperity of Kunming.

Plus its superior geographical location:

It is connected with the coastal areas of Guizhou and Guangxi in the east, and enters the Central Plains via Sichuan and Chongqing in the north.

South Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, western Myanmar, India and Pakistan.

It is rare to have a chance to stay in this city for a long time.

I think maybe we should feel it seriously.
