For those seeking a cell phone, whether it’s new or used, should head for this spot in Kunming. Dong Feng Xi Lu (东风西路), between Renmin Xi Lu (人民喜路) and Kunshi Lu (昆师路), is lined with dozens of stores that sell mobile phones and accessories. While some stores will not bargain (especially the ones on street level), many others will。 Try your very best to get a discount - you will often be able to save a few hundred RMB.
How to Get There: Dong Feng Xi Lu is the road not too far from Yunnan University that eventually becomes the tunnel under the city center that everybody drives very slow through. Jianshi Lu becomes Dong Feng Xi Lu at Wenlin Jie. If you are on Wenlin Jie, walk west until you hit the cinema, turn left, and go down the road to the end of the block. That is where the mobile phone area begins - you can’t miss it.

Cobra Disco is one of the biggest and busiest dance clubs in Kunming. It is located away from the three main nightlife areas, but is still very popular among the Kunming locals, especially the mafioso type. The music pumps until the sun comes up, and the disco usually draws a crowd, even on weeknights. Beware of passport hunters, locals looking to fight foreigners, and in general, keep your wits about yourself and you should have a good time.
Hop in a taxi and tell the driver "Yan Jing She Disco".

It is often difficult to get one’s hands on a nice, juicy steak in most of China’s major cities (with obvious exception to Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong). With that said, Yi Zuo La Brazilian Barbecue in downtown Kunming is sure to satisfy anyone’s cravings for western meat cuts. Brazilian barbecue restaurants are becoming popular all around Asia, and understandably so. These restaurants feature an army of waiters that walk about the establishment cutting pieces of barbecued beef, lamb, pork, chicken, goose, fish, fruit, and much more right onto your plate. Naturally there is also a buffet with even more selections, all of which the customer is allowed to eat until his or her heart (and stomach) is content. Patrons are given a double-sided table marker. The green side means "feed me Seymour," and the red side means "if I eat anymore I might explode and die a horrible, horrible, meat-filled death." Your future heart attack, courtesy of Yi Zuo La will only cost you 68 RMB for dinner, or 58 RMB for lunch (lunch not recommended unless you will enjoy spending the rest of the day in a food coma). Yi Zuo La also boasts a Brazilian dance show with scantily-clad performers beginning nightly around 7 pm.
Yi Zuo La is located at 186 Wuyi Lu (五一路), just south of Renmin Zhong Lu (人民中路).

There are thousands of Koreans living, working, and studying in Kunming. Considering those numbers, it is no surprise that there are quite a few options for Korean food in the city. There are four Korean restaurants on Wenhua Xiang near Yunnan University. You simply cannot go wrong with any of them. Two of the restaurants (one of them depicted below) have the same owner and menu and are probably slightly better than the other two options on Wenhua Xiang.
Directions: The restaurants are all near the west gate of Yunnan University. Wenhua Xiang, known as "foreigner street" is a little winding road sandwiched between Wenlin Jie (文林街) and Yi Er Yi Dajie (一二一大街).

After breakfast visit the Stone Forest. A typical Karst formation, the Stone Forest covers an area of more than three hundred square kilometers. Scientific research has shown that what is now the Stone Forest was 270 million years ago an immense expanse of water with a vast stretch of limestone sediment formed obey the years on the seafloor. As a result of the crustal of movement, the seabed rose gradually and a large piece of land thus came into being. Exposed to rains and winds, eroded by the elements, the strange-looking limestone ranges were shaped by time. About 200 million years ago numerous stone peaks, pillars, and stalagmites rose abruptly from the ground and towered into the sky, extending now as far as the eye can see, looking like a vast forest of stone, hence the name " the Stone Forest ".
