What’s that smell?
Stinky
If you go to Kunming, China, your nose will work overtime. The country is a whirlwind of odors, from the pretty, to the stinky to the super stinky. It’s in the heart of Yunnan’s flower district, so there are roses everywhere! You can get a dozen for less than the price of a Big Mac in the states.

That’s a good smell (the roses, not the Big Mac).
There are loads of fresh markets, serving up an assortment of smells from live chickens to fresh herbs to aromas you can’t put your finger—or nose hair—on.
SPices
Then there’s those that if you did put your finger on…it might peck you back!

Bakery
Then there are other mystery odors… like a cross between “what’s for dinner?” and “is there a cat on fire?” The answer? Probably both.

Of all the things you can buy in China, you can’t find a scratch and sniff post card.
