Kunming, Yunnan Province

Kunming, Yunnan .

I was a year old when my family moved from Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province in South West China to Hong Kong in 1949. A year later, my family sailed to the city of Calcutta, India .  We eventually settled in the hill station of Kalimpong amongst the Nepalese people. There was  a fair size community of people from Yunnan in the 1950s.

My first visit back to Kunming was in 1996 when I returned with my wife and youngest son. Fifteen years later, I revisited my birth place. The pictures following are scenes I encountered in the early morning when commuters were heading out to their work places and schools .
