“Foreign exchanges require a friendly greeting. A perceptual Kunming is needed well. We try to tell the story of it in a simple and easy-to-understand way,” said Zhang Xiaoming, editor-in-chief of the book, and head of the Kunming Municipal Foreign Affairs Office.
“Through the perspectives of urban residents, readers can feel the detailed life experience, the unique and diverse activities, and the livable atmosphere of Kunming where people and nature coexist peacefully,” he added.
