Kunming: a closer sense of place

Kunming Stone Forest gives Kunming a distinctive reference point, inviting a closer look at how this place fits into the surrounding city. earthTV’s perspectives on Kunming begin with this specific local connection and open towards the wider urban and geographical setting.

A closer look at Kunming

The value of Kunming Stone Forest as a starting point lies in its specificity. It gives the city a place to locate on the map and a subject to understand in context. From there, attention can move outward to the surrounding district and to the way Kunming is organised around its public spaces, routes and local geography.

A closer look at Kunming can therefore begin with one recognisable subject and expand at a natural pace. The surrounding district, the shape of the city and its relationship with the wider China setting each add another layer to that first point of interest.
