Other Tips

The climate in March in Kunming is changeable with alternating warmth and coldness, which can easily cause respiratory infectious diseases; therefore, you should dress warmly and wear a mask if necessary. As all kinds of flowers bloom and pollens spread in the air, if you have a pollen allergy, you should take anti-allergic medicine before going outside and keep your distance from flowers. Protecting yourself from insect bites and bee stings is necessary when enjoying the flowers. It is still dry in this month, so you should drink more water.
