I'm hearing rumours of a serious knifing incident at YunDa, possibly ChengGong campus. Anyone know any further details?
Many small supermarkets sell boxed candy representing the "18 Strange things about Yunnan". The sweets themselves are just jellied fruit things, but the boxes themselves make for a unique Yunnan "claim to fame", and they aren't that expensive ti buy or heavy to transport.
We took the train to ShiZui today. Only one trip per day now and it leaves 10mins earlier than previous articles suggest, so:
8863: Kunming BeiZhan to ShiZui
10:00 Kunming Bei 昆明北
10:10 Mayuan 麻园
(...this is just behind "Think UK")
10:50 Shizui 石咀
The engine then decouples and moves to the "back" of the train for the journey home.
As before, there were more workers than passengers, but a friendly atmosphere and, at 2RMB rtn, the cheapest couple of hours' fun you can get in Kunming!
I believe China Eastern are looking into accepting bus cards for short hop flights sometime next year.
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We tried it recently to ask why our neighbourhood has had no running water after 6 months, despite the recent rains. They said it wasn't anything to do with them and hung up.
