I've got to agree with Flengs. Moved away from KM more than a year ago and haven't found a chance to return to the restaurant since, but at the time I was living in KM, one of my top five favorite restaurants in the whole city, Western or Chinese, for sure.
For once Danmairen and I agree on something.
"I cannot believe that I complemented Kunming, and this entire sh*tfest is the result! LOL geez"
I will preface the following comment by stating that I believe there is a very real possibility that 'crazy.laowai' is actually 'Gaoxing' v2.0: a much subtler and more cunning breed of troll. Robert Patrick to Gaoxing's Arnold Schwarzenegger (if you don't understand the reference, that's why they invented Google).
At least that's my way of reconciling the seeming existence of such an inane individual.
If my suspicions are wrong, however, and he is a real person, here goes: complemented and complimented are two different words. Didn't I read him writing somewhere on this site that he was an English teacher? Idiot.
@tigertiger, I suppose that depends on your views regarding overpopulation ;-)
If one values preserving human lives and allowing those lives to be healthy, vaccines are a no-brainer.
Polio, hep b, smallpox, yellow fever, typhoid, etc... these are not diseases to which human would develop a natural resistance anytime soon if we stopped coddling/'dumbing down' our immune systems.
Morning Gym: www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/mor_157/morning_gym
If you're looking for something a bit higher scale, there's Powerhouse across Remin Lu: www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/pow_158/powerhouse_gym
Nearest major cross street is Qingnian Lu.
Morning also has some other branches around town, I think including one up on Beijing Lu toward the north.
No results found.
I had a really good burger here recently. Steven, the chef, really knows what he is doing. Worth checking out. Of course, good beer, too.
Cantina is always a safe bet for top-notch food and great service. I think it has actually gotten better and better over the years, which is often not the case with restaurants. Most people who live in Kunming know Cantina. Perhaps not as many know how involved the owners, Libby and Diego, are in various social welfare and community service efforts. Highly recommended both for visitors and long-term residents!
I went there twice for group boxing classes. I left the third time when I was attempting to book into a grappling class. This was part of an attempted process on my part to try the different classes offered there and see if I wanted to purchase one of their various membership cards.
The boxing classes were fun, a great workout, and the coaches and fellow students were all nice. A good atmosphere. Certainly room for improvement, especially in terms of explaining the class structure and fundamental concepts of the sports to beginners...but overall good.
However, on front desk staff member erased the positive aspects of the gym through his unprofessional and rude conduct. I was treated like some sort of con-man for wanting to try out the different classes offered before committing to multi-thousand RMB membership card, despite my willingness to pay per class to try them out. I wasted my time riding over to the gym on a very cold day on my scooter and then being refused service unless I committed on the spot to buying a membership card in direct contradiction to the gym's own policies and written price table. Also wasted was my friend's time and money, as she was in a cab on the way over to the gym in order to join me for the group class at the time I was refused service. My exchange with the staff (in which I was not terribly satisfied, but remained calm and reasonable throughout) was topped off with a remark from the one particular staff member with xenophobic undertones.
As one may see from my other reviews on this site, I typically try not to say anything unless I have something nice to say. In this case, I feel I must make an exception: I don't think it's a business that deserves your effort or money.
One of the best western restaurants in Yunnan. Definitely worth visiting if you will be passing through Shangrila!
The best tacos in Kunming!

Kunming driver boldly goes where few have before
发布者I've even heard there are services that have sober people roaming around the city. If you get in a drunken crash you can ca them they can try to get someone there to play "driver" before the police show up.

发布者Hey all, I'm curious if any Francois photos are on exhibition in Kunming right now?
Yunnan to spend 500 billion on roads
发布者I just hope they can do a better job of preventing them from being destroyed within six months by illegally overloaded trucks.
