There are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan. If you are in a college for nationalities, please pay more attention to their special customs. There is not much problem in ordinary colleges and universities.
The climate in Yunnan is very good. Leng Xia is neither cold nor hot in winter. However, there is a saying that it is winter when it rains in Kunming. It's cold as long as it rains, so keep warm when it rains.
Also, when you first come to Yunnan in September, please be careful not to do strenuous exercise, because Yunnan is located in the plateau and the altitude in the north is not that high. You will have altitude sickness, such as palpitation, dizziness and earache (I have experienced it all). Of course, it is best if you are healthy and have no altitude sickness.
In addition, Yunnan is a tourist destination. After coming here, you should make more friends with local classmates and take advantage of your vacation to go around. Cheap and economical, it allows you to experience more customs different from those in the north during your four years in college.
Because your question is too general, if you want to know anything, you can ask me. Welcome to Yunnan people!
