Any update on this? It's recently got more difficult even for Chinese to send cash abroad. Are there any "financial companies" outside the banking system that can transfer money (eg China to UK). To be clear, this is legit, taxed money that my Chinese wife and I want to send to UK for our future there.
Working for me (albeit patchy at times)
No, I'm wrong. New one just popped up.

Found it now. XunChang (c500km away). 4.6 but fairly shallow - 10km depth.Enough to feel it here in KMG
Anyone know anything about the quake this evening (24-06-19 about 9.30pm?)
No results found.

This place is now closed.

Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.
Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.
Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.

Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.

Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.

It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.
The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.
1920s China through the lens of Joseph Rock: Simao
发布者I'm presuming Rock's Simao is what was renamed Pu'Er a decade or so ago. (The previous Pu'er village was renamed Ning'Er, I believe).

Exploring the other side of the ocean photo exhibit opens at Kunming Museum
发布者Maybe just me, but I went to the Kunming Museum today and saw no sign of it? There was an exhibition, but of paintings from artists from various countries, few of which were landscapes. Is this "Exploring the other side of the Ocean" exhibit tucked away somewhere?? It's a big (if largely empty) museum...
