Kunming
City (pop., 1991 est.: 1,520,000), capital of Yunnan province, S China. Situated on the N shore of Dian Lake, it has long been a commercial center at the junction of major trading routes. Originally known as Tuodong in the 8th-9th cent. AD and a part of the independent state of Nanzhao, it came under Chinese control with the Mongol invasion of 1253; it became the provincial capital of Yunnan in 1276 and was visited by M. Polo. It became a municipality in 1935 and was transformed into a modern city in 1937 during the Sino-Japanese War, when Chinese evacuees from the north brought industrial plants and universities to Kunming.
