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.

沈阳饺子王
Passable no-frills Dongbei food including lots of dumplings, tofu, disanxian and other standards. Fair prices too.

莲花寺
A pleasant surprise hiding inconspicuously inside the Second Ring Road. Go for the temple, stay for the lovely forested park and its ample solitude.

长街全日西餐厅
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.

家吉饺子店
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.
