Upland International Youth Hostel

A friendly base in central Kunming

Kunming Upland International Youth Hostel is located in Wuhua District, close to the city centre. It suits travellers looking for a practical and sociable place to stay, with a warmer atmosphere than a standard hotel. The metro is only a short walk away, making it easy to get around Kunming.

The location gives easy access to several city highlights on foot, including Green Lake Park, Yuantong Temple, Yunnan University and Kunming Old Street. The surrounding area also offers local restaurants, cafés and everyday shops. Our local advisor particularly appreciates the central setting, which works well for independent travellers who want to explore Kunming at their own pace.

The hostel offers dormitories as well as private single, double, twin and family rooms. Private rooms include a bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and the facilities needed for a comfortable stay. Dormitories provide a more affordable option, with lockers and shared bathrooms. The accommodation is functional and welcoming, rather than designed for travellers seeking the comfort of a full-service hotel.

The social atmosphere centres around the café, bar, restaurant, garden and rooftop terrace. The hostel also organises city walks, food tours and informal activities for guests. English-speaking staff are a useful advantage for international travellers. We recommend this address to couples and independent travellers who enjoy meeting other guests, as well as families booking a private room. Travellers looking for complete quiet or a traditional hotel environment should choose a more conventional property.
