where to find good local noodles near Nha hang Tung Lam?
tung lam does decent rice plates but the noodle side is tourist-safe, not exciting. walk 10 min toward the train station side streets & look for the stall with the big pot of 卤 broth out front, locals queue there from 7am. get the 卤鸡米线 & add a 卤蛋
The queue is the giveaway, get there before it forms.
i only passed through Gejiu a couple years back so dont take me as gospel. Tung Lam is a decent safe first stop, but honestly the noodle stalls along Jinhu Lu near the old market do a better bowl for half the price. go for 过桥米线 if its on the menu, that broth is the whole point. ask for extra 酸菜 on the side.
Second this, but ask for the 酸菜 on the side or the broth gets sour
yep, and grab the pickled veg in a separate bowl so u can add it back a spoon at a time
Also try the 小锅米线 stalls off Renmin Lu, better than the big spots.
broth goes thin after 2pm, go early
weekends even earlier, by noon
sour pickled veg at the little shops behind the old market
Fair warning, most of those stalls shut by early afternoon so plan it as a lunch stop. And don't sleep on the tiny spots tucked behind the wet market, they're often better than the front-row ones.
hot spring hotels in Gejiu 2026, where to book?
The hot spring places I know of sit out toward Tangdian and along the road to Jianshui rather than in the city centre. Expect somewhere in the 300 to 600 yuan range for a room with a private tub, more on weekends. Buses from Kunming's East Coach Station run several times a day, roughly four hours, and you'll want to book the morning ones since the last stretch is slow. The tin museum is easy to reach once you're in town.
no train from kunming, bus only, about 4hrs
Agree, but book a day ahead, seats sell out.
Roughly right, though Mengzi is another option if buses are full.
