No, this is definitely Yahoo Mail too. This, from Yahoo... "After February 28, 2022 you will no longer be able to send or receive new emails from mainland China or download data."

I heart that Yahoo services will stop working in China (without a VeePN) from the end of this month. Another one bites the dust! Can anyone recommend a free, English-language e-mail services that still works in China (Without a VeepN)?

My health code also did not update despite double vaccination. But the clinic were able to print me off a "certificate" showing all the vaccination details, which should help in the future if necessary,

The article brings back fond memories of the year I spent teaching at MengZi teacher's College (now part of Honghe University) back in 1996. We needed a horse-drawn cart to get into town and an overnight trip on the narrow-guage railway to get to Kunming (North Station). At one market in the countryside, a student I was visiting said she could spot 10 different minority groups amongst the shoppers. It was a sight I can picture to this day.

Great article. My (Chinese) wife and I found the place fascinating and frsutrating in equal parts. It didn't help that she was sick every day whilst there, though it turned out to be "morning sickness" so we can't blame the food for that!

Not cheap considering how run-down it is, especially when you add in transports costs. Still tempted to visit though.

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.
