Forums > Living in Kunming > Is living in China hazardous to your health? My family chooses to buy produce from places like Metro instead of street markets, for the reasons quoted above. Although they cost more, larger stores sell fruit, vegetables, eggs etc labeled as 'green' or organic. Of course some cyncism in exactly how organic they are is justified. To be even safer, it would be worth looking into those selling organic produce direct from the farmers who use safe practices.
Domestic Milk has been revealed to the world not to be trustworthy, so we pay the extra for imported milk.
There are no absolute guarantees, but we can take certain measures to at least be a little more healthy.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Luosiwan Sometimes at new Luosiwan the overview sign will help to find a particular section.
I also thought the old one had closed - does anyone know if there is anything still there?
Forums > Living in Kunming > China: Its Environment and History (World Social Change) by Robert B. Marks I have ordered through Amazon here twice. The first time I received the product, and second time it never arrived.

I say, congrats for escaping the freezing north, to experience the best weather in the whole of the country as found in this province. You'll also find something else rarely encountered up there - blue sky. Of course our pollution here is increasing all the time, but still our air is much better than many other provincial capitals.
I wonder what you think 'the good life' is. We do have nice cafes and pubs here, both local and foreign run.
But in the end, ask not what your city can do for you, but what you can do for your city. If you want to make friends & enjoy what is here, then welcome to the Spring City. If not ... well you get the idea.

Starbucks' thirst for Yunnan coffee growing
发布者It looks like an outlet of Starbucks will open in the north, next to Metro. Any further info?
Around Town: China's last narrow gauge passenger train
发布者Leshan steam train is also narrow gauge? It would be cool to try that one too.
To get to Kunming Bei to catch the metre gauge cost me 1 kuai for a 20 min bus ride - how long will it take to get to Leshan?
Although yesterday afternoon my family turned up at the station to discover the afternoon run is closed for some sort of refit. The morning run was not mentioned as closed.
Around Town: China's last narrow gauge passenger train
发布者Went & tried it. Runs every day through Spring Festival, although the Railway Museum is closed for a couple of days over the break. Very interesting, and the kids loved it!
Around Town: China's last narrow gauge passenger train
发布者Is this train still running? Will it be operating over the Spring Festival holidays? Is there a contact number to inquire about these details?
