        What to bring

          • Layered Clothing: Kunming has a mild climate, but temperatures can vary throughout the day. Bring layers that can add or remove as needed, such as a light jacket or sweater.
          • Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen before arriving to protect your skin from sun exposure, especially if you'll be outdoors for extended periods.
          • Sunglasses and Hat: Sunglasses help reduce glare, and a hat provides additional protection from the sun.
