Jingxing Street Flower and Bird Market is one of central Kunming's livelier old-style markets. Stalls sell flowers, birds, insects, small pets, curios, and plenty of tourist trinkets, all packed into narrow lanes near the city's older commercial core.
It is best treated as a wander rather than a shopping mission. Go for the colour, noise, and odd details, and be ready for a market that can feel crowded and chaotic.
