We took the morning (about 0800hr) flight out of Singapore and reach Yunnan (云南) in the afternoon. First thing we did was to have the famous 云南过桥米线, follow by checking to our hotel. The hotel is decent with decent breakfast choice. It is sited at the City center and just beside it is a community (garden) area and a river, where the people came to exercise in the morning and dance at night.
The rest of the afternoon was free and easy. We bought a China mobile SIM card so that we can be in contact with the main tour agency as well as the tour guide.
From the hotel, we took a bus to 金马碧鸡坊. Follow by a taxi to 翠湖公园, and dinner in the surrounding area. There are a lot of eating place just outside 翠湖公园.
Below is a URL in both English and Chinese that have some good information on Yunnan.
