Recently, reporters learned from Kunming Public Transport Group that starting December 17, 2025, Kunming Public Transport and Kaiyuan Public Transport will jointly launch the Kaiyuan "Phoenix Valley" winter retreat and wellness-themed sightseeing bus route. This route integrates the mild winter resources of Kunming and Kaiyuan, offering tourists a one-stop winter getaway where they can "bask in the sunshine and experience the warmth of nature."
Kaiyuan City boasts an average annual temperature of 19.8℃, with mild winters and cool summers, making it a pleasant climate. With a green coverage rate of 46%, this dry-hot valley town located in Honghe Prefecture, thanks to its low latitude and low altitude, is an ideal winter destination in Yunnan Province, similar to the year-round spring-like Kunming, and a top choice for relaxation and rejuvenation.
The Kaiyuan "Phoenix Valley" winter retreat and wellness-themed sightseeing bus route, jointly launched by Kunming Public Transport and Kaiyuan Public Transport, features convenient connections, in-depth experiences, and high cost-effectiveness, offering a 2-day, 1-night itinerary. This route seamlessly integrates transportation, accommodation, sightseeing, and dining services, focusing on warm winter getaways and health and wellness retreats. It aims to provide tourists with a one-stop service encompassing "eating, lodging, entertainment, and travel," allowing every participant to embark on a worry-free and enjoyable journey.
