I get vitamin C, aspirin, Tylenol, Omega-3 fish oil, and Zinc tabs from the US. In the last three weeks I received 1000 tablets, 1000mg Vitamin-C and 400 Omega-3 1000mg capsules with no problem.
First package mailed "Priority" 18 Mar, in my hands Mar 30. Second box mailed "First Class" also on 18 Mar, was in my hands 08 Apr after the three days holiday. We were testing transit time and cost. I have been doing this since 2006 to Beijing and Kunming. Never was charged duty, never questioned, never lost a box.
I have a cost analysis of the stuff I get and local products. The shipping costs are insignificant.
Hugo is okay. I really appreciate his temple information and have used it to seek out a few. His website is an excellent source for info on Yunnan. He has even offered to take me to some temples with no mention of a fee. I'd say he is a pretty good guy (for a Marine anyway ;-) ).
Full disclosure: Never met the man and would not recognize him if I ran into him. Further, we do disagree on many things but he is willing to share his work and knowledge. Don't judge him by his wacko conspiracy theories.
Yeah, more info would really be helpful. The "Haiyuansi Bus Station" is a turn around point for many bus lines and might be the start of the run to the airport. The university stops might be away from the main campuses. Hard to see the route.
Yang Liping performed in Pasadena, California in 1995. I was lucky to see her dance and meet her after the show. Liping is truly a Yunnan, Dali treasure.

Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.
I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.
The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题!I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.
Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.
Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.
Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.
Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.
