@OP
Dude, the whole article is sponsored by Keats Chinese School. Naturally, they're not going to mention the disadvantages for fear of driving away potential students.

Why do they leave out potential disadvantages? Do you believe they're presenting a balanced view?
When I applied for work in Tokyo, I was told exactly what to expect; no gilding of the lily there.

Could you please tell me the disadvantages of Kunming, and how you know about them? Protip: "an expat forum has people complaining in it" does not count as evidence.

> it is beautiful and charming, with great food.
I'm not denying that.
> Of course not. Nothing is perfect.
Then why doesn't the article you linked to discuss the negatives aspects of the city?

I assume it is because every article does not have to literally discuss every single thing about its topic.

Just the positive aspects?
Perhaps you can link to a few other articles which speak in such glowing terms about day-to-day life in Kunming.
