  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly times to visit Kunming are in March, September, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For an enriching experience, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city’s key landmarks and cultural attractions. During your visit, you can explore beautiful forests, tropical temples, and the serene hilly landscapes. The sunny weather provides an excellent backdrop for outdoor activities such as running and horseback riding, making it a great value for money destination. Additionally, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the local aquarium, which adds to the cultural allure of Kunming.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for Kunming, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. The Smart Shopping tool on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so if availability changes or prices drop, you could be among the first to know, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Kunming. If you're in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value.
