About Kunming
Capital of Yunnan on a high plateau, mild enough year-round to be called the spring city. The gateway to south-west China and onward to Burma and Indochina.
Population about 3,600,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Kunming is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
