The Culture Alley (Wenhua Xiang)

The bustling Culture Alley in Kunming is a narrow street packed with bars, cafes and boutiques, with many stand-alone stores good for memorable souvenirs.

Shopping

Yunnan's ethnic minority groups each have honed crafts of their own, and products such as the Dai brocade or bronze pieces make for excellent gifts to bring back home. Pu'er tea, which originates from the province, is another great buy.
