Situated in Yunnan Province, the dusty town of Tonghai has no real tourist attractions of note and there is little reason for visitors to spend time here.
However, a large number of buses pass through the town on their way through the province, making this a good place to change buses and also stop for a bite to eat. There are a good number of restaurants in Tonghai and food comes in a wide range of culinary styles.
Although it is possible to hire a bicycle and cycle around the town, there is little point as Tonghai isn’t surrounded by the abundant natural beauty that most of Yunnan province is blessed with. Simply grab some refreshment and get out of town.
Getting There & Away
Getting to Tonghai of pretty straightforward as the town is just a 2-hour bus ride from Kunming, where there is an international airport. There are also buses to Tonghai from places such as Jiangshui (2 hours), Gejiu (2 hours) and Kaiyuan (4 hours).
