I cannot use it without a VPN in China, and it's been this way for several years, if memory serves.
I'm with Voltaire on this one. I love living here for the obvious reasons (generally great weather, access to a ridiculous array of travel options), but I also enjoy Yunnan for the lack of pretentiousness in both the local and foreign communities.
The local food here is better and more varied than anywhere else (you just have to look).
Yes the traffic is often enraging and Kunming needs to work on preserving what is left of its air quality, but in general, for those choosing to live in a major city in China, this place beats the rest on character and charm alone. For me at least.
One park, one temple. Both are highly recommended:
First off, my apologies for approving the classified initially. It is against GK policy, and I somehow missed it. The classified has been deleted.
No results found.
Passable no-frills Dongbei food including lots of dumplings, tofu, disanxian and other standards. Fair prices too.
A pleasant surprise hiding inconspicuously inside the Second Ring Road. Go for the temple, stay for the lovely forested park and its ample solitude.
Excellent service even when packed and the food is top notch. Great group of owners too.
Had the buffet here recently. A bit expensive but discounts are available for groups. Seafood, including crab, lobster and sushi were all fantastic. European and Chinese dishes were great as well. Beer was included with dinner. Overall, excellent service and food.
Excellent dumplings for omnivores, vegetarians and carnivores. This is a hole in the wall joint with no frills, but the owners are friendly and the dumplings are just right. Five stars if they get higher quality vinegar.

Kunming-Pakistan land and sea route represents new Belt and Road link
发布者The article above has been completely rewritten. My apologies to GoKunming readers for publishing erroneous information in the first place.
There is currently no railway linking Pakistan, Xinjiang and Yunnan, nor will there be for several years.
Kunming-Pakistan land and sea route represents new Belt and Road link
发布者@Geogramatt: I take back my previous comment and am doing further research on what is actually happening. The Chinese and English-language source articles are all vague, but I went back and did more checking and it seems utterly impossible a track connecting northeast Pakistan to China will be finished any time in the foreseeable future.
My apologies to our readers for misstating the situation, and when I have a clearer understanding, I will update the article and leave a note here. :(
