Outdoor Equipment
As elsewhere in bigger cities close to mountainous regions, you can buy fairly good quality fake and overrun outdoor and camping gear in Kunming. Shops can be found in a courtyard at 20 Dongfeng East Road and on Baoshan Street close to the central square, as well as in the enormous garment district on the South Ring Road between the moat and Carrefour shopping centre check basement and top stories, no self-respecting counterfeit vendor would sell on the mainfloor of a building. Bargain hard.
