昆明简介：

Kūnmíng

is

the

capital

and

largest

city

of

Yunnan

(

云南

)

Province

in

Southwest

China.

It

was

known

as

Yunnan-Fou

(

云南府

,

Yúnnánfǔ

)

until

the

1920s.

A

prefecture-level

city,

it

is

the

political,

economic,

communications and cultural centre of Yunnan, and is the seat of the

provincial

government.

It

is

also

home

to

several

universities,

museums,

galleries

and

other

important

economic,

cultural,

and

educational

institutions. The headquarters of many of Yunnan's large businesses are

in Kunming as well. It was important during World War II as a Chinese

military

center,

American

air

base,

and

transport

terminals

for

the

Burma

Road. Located in the middle of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Kunming is

located at an altitude of 1,950 m above sea level and at a latitude just

north

of

the

Tropic

of

Cancer.

It

covers

an

area

of

21,473

square

kilometres

(8,291 sq mi)

and

its

urban

area

covers

2,081 km

2

(803 sq mi).

Kunming

has

population

of

6,432,212

including

3,055,000

in

the

urban

area

and is located at the northern edge of the large Lake Dian, surrounded

by temples and lake- and-limestone hill landscapes.

Its economic importance derives from its geographical position. It

is

positioned

near

the

border

with

Southeastern

Asian

countries,

serving

as a transportation hub in Southwest China, linking by rail to Vietnam

and

by

road

to

Burma

and

Laos.

This

positioning

also

makes

it

an

important

trade

center

in

this

region

of

the

nation.

It

also

houses

some

manufacturing, chiefly copper, though some other chemicals, machinery,

textiles, paper and cement take key. Though having a nearly 2,400 year

history, its modern prosperity dates only from 1910, when the railroad

from Hanoi was built. The city has continued to develop rapidly under

China's

modernization

efforts.

Kunming's

streets

have

widened

while

office

buildings

and

housing

projects

develop

at

a

fast

pace.

Kunming

has

been

designated

a

special

tourism

center

and

as

such

sports

a

proliferation of high-rises and luxury hotels.

昆明发展：

Because of the Wars, like World War II, until 1952, Kunming was a

walled

city.

The

city

government

in

1952

ordered

hundreds

of

young

people

to tear down the wall and use its bricks to make a new road running

north-south.

To

show

its

appreciation

for

the

young

people

that

demolished

the

east

wall,

the

city

government

named

the

new

street

after

them.

Their

existence still echoes today in place names like Xiao Ximen (

小西门

,

'Lesser west gate') and Beimen Jie (

北门街

, 'North gate Street'). There

are also less obvious connections to the wall, such as Qingnian Lu (

青

年路

, 'Youth Road'), which was once Kunming's east wall.

Infrastructure

improvements

have

been

underway

to

improve

links

between

Kunming

and

Southeast

Asia

in

time

for

the

2010

China-ASEAN

Free

Trade Area, which would have a population of approximately 1.8 billion.

The FTA is expected to make Kunming a trade and financial center for

Southeast

Asia.

In

addition

to

physical

improvements

to

enhance

Kunming's

trade with Southeast Asia, the central and provincial governments have

made financial preparations to assist the city's emergence. At the end

of 2004, the central government approved Kunming to be one of the 18

mainland

cities

in

which

foreign

banks

could

conduct

business

in

renminbi

（人民币）

.

and

Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan province.

The city center of Kunming has three major squares and five major

streets:

Jinma

Biji

Square,

Nanping

Square

and

Dongfeng

Square

along

with

Nanping Jie, Jinbi Lu, Renmin Lu, Zhengyi Lu and Jingxin Jie. Qingnian

the

most

popular

pedestrian

streets

are

Nanping

mornings

there

are

crowds

doing

taijiquan

and

playing

badminton.

Weekend

the city's true center

River

(now more

of a canal), outside

the

Kunming Department

Store at the

Nanping Lu/Zhengyi Lu crossroads, a densely crowded shopping precinct

packed

with

polluted,

black

and oily. Surrounding the area are plenty of new high-rises.

Within

Kunming,

the

entertainment

district

has

its

focus

around

Kunming Square, with many cinemas, bars, clubs and restaurants. Eating

out is the main pleasure after dark in Kunming. Food aside, one feature

of less formal Yunnanese restaurants is that they often have a communal

bamboo

water

pipe

and

tobacco

for

their

customers.

Nightlife

has

improved

recently, thanks to rising incomes and tourist population. There are

plenty of student bars and clubs. The city has several operatic troupes

and indigenous entertainments which include

huadeng

, a lantern dance.

performances

are

lacking,

there

are

often

informal
