Which one is better, Kunming or Dalian?

When choosing Kunming and Dalian, you can compare them from three aspects: itinerary arrangement, transportation mode and accommodation.

1. Itinerary: As the capital of Yunnan Province, Kunming has rich natural scenery and unique national culture. Tourists can visit natural landscapes such as Stone Forest and Dianchi Lake in Kunming, and also experience the folk culture of Yunnan. Dalian is famous for its beautiful seaside scenery and unique industrial heritage. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful coastline and buildings, such as Xinghai Square, Dalian Port, etc. In addition, Dalian’s ice and snow landscape is something Kunming cannot provide.
