Which is more suitable for summer vacation, Liupanshui or Kunming?

Liupanshui and Kunming are both cities located in the southwest, one in Guizhou and the other in Yunnan Province. The climate characteristics of the two places are similar, and they are also very popular tourist destinations in China at present. So when summer comes, which of these two places is more suitable for summer vacation?

Liupanshui is the cool capital of China, and Kunming is the spring city of China. Liupanshui is a prefecture-level city in Guizhou Province, and Kunming is a provincial administrative unit in Yunnan Province.

First of all, talk about the geographical and climatic differences between the two. Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province, is located in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau southwest of China, with an average annual temperature of about 15℃, sunny and pleasant scenery. The weather is often like February and March, and the seasons are like spring. It is recognized as the "Spring City" of China.

Liupanshui is located in the southwest of Guizhou, with coal in the southwest and Wumeng Mountain in the west. The annual average temperature is 15℃, the summer average temperature is 19.7℃, and the winter average temperature is 3℃. The climate is cool, comfortable and fresh, with moderate ultraviolet radiation. It was awarded the title of "China Liangdu" by China Meteorological Society, and it is the only city named after its climate characteristics.

Kunming belongs to the mountainous monsoon climate of the northern subtropical low latitude plateau and belongs to the mountainous landform. The terrain is generally high in the north and low in the south, with many caves and karst landforms. There are Shilin bazi in karst basin. The annual average temperature 16.5℃, the annual average rainfall 1450 mm, the frost-free period of 278 days, and the climate is pleasant.

Liupanshui City belongs to the north subtropical monsoon humid climate zone, which is affected by low latitude and high altitude. It is warm in winter and cool in summer and has a pleasant climate.

Liupanshui was a national territory in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States period, the territory of the city was the territory of Yelang State, and the famous idiom Yelang was arrogant.

Kunming is rich in tourism resources and developed earlier. The West Mountain in Kunming lies like a sleeping beauty on the Dianchi Lake, and the statue of Chen Yuanyuan in the Golden Temple stands in the middle of the lake. After a hundred years of vicissitudes, only the sigh of "rushing to the crown is a beauty" is left. Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty, and a generation of lean Wu Sangui finally fell under the skirt of beauty.

Every summer, other cities are called "stoves" and "steamers". It's too hot, so sleep on the mat and turn on the air conditioner to blow the fan, but Liupanshui doesn't need it. It's called "Cool Capital"! Here, heat is just a legend; Here, you don't have to look for air conditioners everywhere; Here, you should cover the quilt on summer nights; In other stove cities in China, it is 19℃ when it is hot.

Liupanshui, the cool capital of China, has a cool climate and charming scenery. Especially in summer, there are many friends who come to travel, and summer is also the most suitable season to visit Liupanshui in a year.

Jiucaiping was rated as one of the top ten famous summer resorts in China. It is called the highest peak in Guizhou with beautiful scenery. The highest peak is located at the junction with Bijie. The scenery on the mountain is unique. It feels like being on another frozen planet. It is lonely and primitive, without any artificial traces. Known as "the roof of Guizhou".

Generally speaking, Liupanshui, the cool capital of China, and Kunming, the spring city, are both summer resorts in China. Every summer, when the children have a summer vacation, a large number of tourists from all over the country flock to these two cities to enjoy the summer vacation.

But objectively speaking, Kunming, as the capital city and the largest city in Yunnan Province, has incomparable administrative resources, educational resources, publicity resources, tourism resources and other resources. Liupanshui is suitable in summer, and it is too cold in winter, while Kunming has four seasons like spring and the temperature is suitable.

Kunming is known as the Spring City, and Liupanshui is the only city named after Du Liang in China, with similar climatic conditions, but there are still some differences. The weather is cool in summer, so it is a very suitable place for summer vacation.

In terms of food, many places in Yunnan and Guizhou are similar. Mutton powder and beef noodles are very comfortable to eat. In contrast, I think Kunming has more blue sky and white clouds, while Liupanshui has more light rain and foggy weather. Perhaps Liupanshui is an industrial city rich in resources.

I think the air quality in Kunming is better! Because of the different status of the city, Kunming is the capital city, while Liupanshui is a prefecture-level city, and there is still a certain gap with Kunming in terms of urban construction, transportation and convenience of life. Therefore, if I have to choose one of these two cities for my summer vacation, I prefer Kunming! Goose, I'll wait for you in Liupanshui this summer.
