Price of the basic fish and chips meal has gone up to 19RMB, though the quality of the cooking, condiments and decor has improved since it opened, too. Still good value.

I would highly recommend Heijing...

There's a good jewellers next to Robert's School (LongXiangJie, near WenLinJie) which my wife has used to make and repair rings etc.
Spent a fun weekend here. The town has lots of nooks and crannies to explore. The temples are worth climbing to (though they all require tickets now) and Heijing has really managed to retain its genuine, lived-in, nature - very few tourists around. A real gem of Yunnan IMHO.
Has GoK ever done an article on Heijing? I couldn't find anything on the search function?
I heard that whole swathes of Chinese airpace are off limits to commercial airlines and devoted to military aircraft...?
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.
