Kunming Weather in May

Light and breathable clothes such as cotton and linen shirts, long and filmy dresses or thin T-shirts are suitable for daytime, but thin coats, jackets or light sweaters are still needed at night. Maybe you can bring a pair of canvas shoes, which can make your feet more comfortable when walking.As the temperature in May is not very high, it is a good time to visit Kunming Stone Forest, which consists of typical karst limestone formations, and has been declared a world natural heritage site. Major Stone Forest, Minor Stone Forest, Naigu Stone Forest, Dadie Waterfall, and Strange Wind Cave are major scenic spots within it. Located on the shore of Dianchi Lake, Grand View Park is a good place to relax, where flower shows are usually held during the May Day holiday, and the famous Daguan Pavilion with 180-word rhyming couplets carved on the gateposts is worth seeing.
 In the rather dry climate in May in Kunming, drinking enough water and eating more fruit can rehydrate your body, especially after outdoor activities. Sun-protective clothing and sunscreen are necessities due to intense sunlight. For fear of the inconvenience of heavy passenger traffic during the May Day holiday, you'd better make your travel plan in advance and book train or flight ticket as early as possible. Kunming enters the rainy season this month, so you should take an umbrella.
