Kunming people are timid, cautious, like to follow the steps, poor pioneering ability, and complicate simple things.
There are a lot of Kunming people working in the city, and they are not as xenophobic as they say they are, and they love life more than a lot of outsiders, right? They also have no legend so must stay in their hometown, the evaluation of Kunming just not much opportunity, too comfortable. In Kunming, I found that everyone likes to shop in the flower market, and foreign tourists are very friendly, and do not feel uncomfortable place.
And if you really want to talk about xenophobia, I think that in addition to Shanghai, especially when you live in Puxi those B&B, really fed up with the Shanghai uncle auntie bone look down on your feeling, even if you are from Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen out.
Maybe nowhere else will give you the feeling of xenophobia, especially in a tourist city like Kunming, where the feeling is really low and most people are still very warm to you.

The word "Kunming" as a place name is hard to trace before the Tang Dynasty. There are many theories about the origin of the word "Kunming", but most scholars believe that "Kunming" was initially the name of an ancient ethnic group in southwestern China.
A Glimpse of the Spring City
"Kunming" is written as "Kun", "Kunya" or "Kunlin" in ancient Chinese literature. ". It was not the name of a city in the early days, but rather the ethnic name of an ancient people who lived in the southwestern region of China, today's western Yunnan and southwestern Sichuan.
The appearance of the word "Kunming" can be traced back to the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, the famous historian Sima Qian in the "Records of the Grand Historian - Southwest Barbarians biography" wrote: "West from the same division (now Baoshan) to the east, north to Ye Yu, named Build, Kunming, are all hair, with the migration of animals, no permanent place, no Jun long, the place can be thousands of miles." From this, we can see that the word "Kunming" is the ethnic name of a minority group in ancient Yunnan.
