Kunming is surrounded by mountains on three sides and Dianchi Lake on the south. The lake is light and the mountains are beautiful. It is naturally painted. Kunming enjoys the reputation of "Spring City". The weather is often like February and March, and flowers and branches keep growing for four seasons, which is a true reflection of Kunming. Dianchi Lake is the largest plateau lake in Yunnan Province, the sixth largest fresh water lake in China, with beautiful scenery along both sides of the lake. Because it is located in the low latitude plateau, the climate of "four seasons like spring" is formed, especially the temperature and humidity are regulated by the Lake Dianchi on the plateau, which makes the air fresh, the sky high and the clouds light, the sun bright and the flowers often open.
