It sorta depends what you enjoy and what your situation is. Sports? Cycling? Eating? Cinema? Sightseeing? Socialising? Volunteering? Do you have kids? Do you want to practise your English? There are lots of opportunities to make friends - just take the plunge with something you enjoy.
I've always used a small repair shop inside "AiDi Computer Franchise Store" on west side of YuanTong North Road (between 1-2-1 Rd and the Zoo). From the outside it looks like a regular computer supermarket with different areas selling different kit, but in the middle are a couple of guys seated facing a wall repairing stuff. I've used them 3 times and they've always been thorough, honest and professional. And reasonably priced too.

You mean age restriction for working visa (though I know 2-3 foreigners who have worked well into their 60s) not age restriction for spousal visa?
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.
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.

China-South Asia Expo takes over Kunming
发布者This may be an ignorant question, but what does the "belt" in the "Belt and Road Initiative" actually mean? It's an odd name at best...
