It is most convenient to travel to Kunming and live there.

Main attractions in Kunming: Tong Yuan, Cuihu and Army Wujiangtang; Expo Park and Golden Temple; Haigeng Park, Xishan, Ethnic Village; Wildlife parks, etc. If you only look at the scenic spots, it is most convenient to live near Cuihu. The first three are around, and the last two are near the side. It's a through train from Cuihu, and it's not expensive to take a taxi. Ridge Park is in the same direction as Xishan and Ethnic Village. You can take the subway to Xishan, then take the cable car down the hill and stop at the ethnic village. The safari park depends on the situation.
