Does anyone have a child studying at CaiDa FuXiao (Yunnan University of Finance and Economics Primary School) or know anyone who does?

If your main criteria for living is air pollution you are simply in the wrong country.
Has anyone been to this "new" flea market yet?
www.gokunming.com/en/calendar/event/15138/flea_market
Is it an excuse for established traders to sell their same old tat, or do locals come to sell unwanted stuff? Anyone tried to set up a stall there? How big is it? (I plan to visit it sometime, but wondered what to expect before dragging my excess goodies there!)

"pet" projects! Nice :-)
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.

发布者Looks worth a visit. Thank you. Nice article.

Kunming ranks fifth nationally in expat poll
发布者Having been told I HAD to take part in this survey (for the second year running) and guided towards choosing Kunming as top in all categories I can assure the results are meaningless. Even if you have travelled to many of the alternative cities (as I have) it's unlikely you will have lived and worked in many of them, so commenting on local governmental attitudes to and services for expats is a nonsense. But hey, well done Kunming (I guess... 5th out of 10??)

Life after the boom – Yunnan's tin capital goes bust
发布者I have fond memories of my time in Gejiu and it's a shame to read of its gradual demise. There must be tourism possibilities. Trip down a mine, anyone?
