Forums > Living in Kunming > Kunming a good place to start for mandarin beginners?

There are plenty of language schools in Kunming (of varying quality). The Chinese spoken in Kunming is not as standard as in Beijing, but the language classes are cheaper and the Chinese Mandarin teachers usually have good pronunciation. If you are teaching at a language school, you'll meet English-speaking Chinese through your colleagues and get them to help you with everyday problems, although if you are studying Mandarin, you may wish to hang out more with non-English speakers to practice your speaking and listening. Kunming has a different vibe to Beijing or Shnghai - more relaxed and "small town". The weather is generally great too. I think you'll like it here.

Yes, LP seemed very up-to-date. And the official position "we like people to get the visa in advance" is probably not tha practical position "if someone turns up at the airport without a visa....". Fingers crossed!

The best part of a visit to the Golden Temple is the alpine slide which can drag you half way UP the hill and later let you zig-zag DOWN at the end of your visit, Buy the ticket for this at the same time as buy your entrance ticket or you pay extra for it later..

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.
