The Hump over the Himalayas Hostel’s relaxed rooftop bar offers an excellent location to have a drink while taking in a great view of Kunming’s city center. The bar provides an opportunity to compare notes with other travelers in a laid back, informal atmosphere. Any information, advice, or helpful tips can be obtained and/or discussed here. You can also enjoy a game of pool or table football and the bar’s convenient location near several discos. While the author certainly does not endorse corporate fast food chains, the Hump also happens to be across the street from McDonald’s, one of Kunming’s only 24 hour eating establishments.

A long time favorite of backpackers and tourists, the Camellia Guesthouse provides rooms suitable for any budget. Prices ranging from Y30-250 include breakfast, air conditioning and cable TV for those willing to splurge for the higher-end rooms. Conveniently, the Camellia Guesthouse staff is quite friendly and are more than happy to assist you in organizing trips locally as well as across the border into Vietnam. There is also a small internet cafe (4 computers) located in the restaurant for 5 RMB per hour (most internet cafes in Kunming are 3 RMB per hour.) The Camellia is probably one of the more desirable places to stay in Kunming - providing accommodation for everyone from backpackers to business travelers willing to spend more money.
Salvador's Coffee House
Why Salvador’s did not survive in Dali remains a mystery to this author. Salvador’s was first opened in Dali (hence the name) a few years back and didn’t seem to find its niche. The cafe moved to Kunming a little over 2 years ago, and since then has found tremendous succes...
Why Salvador’s did not survive in Dali remains a mystery to this author. Salvador’s was first opened in Dali (hence the name) a few years back and didn’t seem to find its niche. The cafe moved to Kunming a little over 2 years ago, and since then has found tremendous success. The owners of this fine establishment know that the two most important things a café is supposed to get right is coffee and dessert. However, they don’t just get it right, they’ve got these two areas down pat. In fact, Salvador’s provides it’s customers with excellent coffees, hot chocolates, and shakes. They also produce their own ice cream in-house, which I feel is some of the very best in China. Yet Salvador’s does not stop there – they also offer many enticing options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Tasty and filling sandwiches and bagel melts are available for around 20 RMB or less (they also bake all of their own breads and bagels.) Salvador’s Tex-Mex options are also very edible, a true rarity in China. This author dares you to try and finish a burrito (20 – 26 RMB) at Salvador’s. They also make their own salsa (which happens to actually taste like salsa). What’s more they do their customers a great service in offering Beer Lao, ironically the best beer in China, currently only offered in Yunnan Province at a handful of places. Best of all, their prices are extremely reasonable. The author cannot think of anything on the menu off the top of his head that even touches 40 RMB, and he dines at the café quite frequently. Sadly, Salvador’s closes its doors around 11:30 PM (last call at 11). Therefore it’s a great place to hangout with your friends for after-dinner drinks or pre-party before moving on, instead of also being one of the better bars in town.
P.S. Did anybody order wi-fi? Customers also get to enjoy the use of free wi-fi internet while at Salvador’s.
Directions: 76 Wenhua Xiang. Located near Yunnan University, almost next to the bakery on the corner of Wenhua Xiang and Wenlin Jie.
