Before I came to Kunming I stayed a very short time (2days) in Hongkong and at that time I didn't find anyone with a clear putonghua sound. I shouldn't be discouraged by a 2 day experience. Thanks for Your input :) You are right, Hongkong is a place where people from all over China come together.

Ppl in HK might even happen to speak Mandarin with less of a local accent than in Yunnan or other places in Mainland China. Anyway, enjoy your stay.

It's getting more and more since the past years as the Chinese government is pushing this with subsidized Mandarin classes.
