China Youth Daily client (by Zhang Wenling of China Youth Daily · China Youth Network): When industrial heritage meets coffee culture, what sparks fly? The reporter learned that the old warehouses of the Kunming Flour Mill will undergo renovation on October 1; seven months later, the site will be transformed into a Yunnan Coffee Culture Park, becoming a new cultural-tourism landmark where Kunming’s industrial heritage and coffee culture merge.

Data from the Yunnan Provincial Coffee Industry Association shows that, as of now, Yunnan’s coffee planting area reaches 1,518,800 mu with an output of 170,700 tons, and both its planting area and output account for over 98% of the national total. Yunnan’s main coffee-producing regions have grown from the past four major areas to today’s six: Pu’er City, Baoshan City, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Lincang City, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, and Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture.

Positioned as a ‘value depression of the Yunnan coffee industry chain, a highland of coffee culture, and a source of Chinese-style coffee creativity,’ the Yunnan Coffee Culture Park will comprise sections such as a World Coffee Bean Grand View Garden, a Yunnan Coffee Origin Story cultural space, an urban shared coffee-roasting experience center, and a Chinese-style coffee study hall, integrating one-stop coffee and equipment shopping, coffee culture display, roasting experience, skill training, and competition hosting.

At the same time, the park will blend industrial-heritage display, coffee-culture science popularization, themed check-ins, and immersive experiences, extending coffee from the ‘drinking’ scene to ‘playing’ and ‘touring,’ letting visitors get to know Yunnan coffee here and develop the desire to experience the producing regions in depth.
