Hi I read about the plans to build a 5 star hotel and spa in the north of kunming. It said 'Angsana Hotel and Banyan Tree Villa in north Kunming's Platinum Avenue Business District' to be exact.
Does anyone know where the "platinum Avenue Business District" is? Someone told me it might be near the Walmart at end of beijing lu but I can't really figure that out. Help?
Hi,
In an article in today's GoKunming, it refered to a section of Kunming as follows:
Angsana Hotel and Banyan Tree Villa in north Kunming's Platinum Avenue Business District
Does anyone recognize this reference? Give me a hint about where that's located?
Thanks
Does anyone have any current information about the progress on opening a new international airport in Kunming?
I've been reading about it for several years but lately there hasn't been anything in Go Kunming at least. And my Chinese friends in Kunming don't seem to know anything about it. ?????
Well, I do love Kunming but I'll add a couple to the negative list
1. I really hate the constant car alarms. I can't figure it out...seems almost like a contest to have the loudest, most obnoxious sound and they seem to set them to go on and leave them running for a long time...especially when going into a store. Like I said, I don't understand but it sure is noisy for no clear reason.
2. And, of course, for noise there's little competition with car horns. I think they should disable all car horns on cars sold here. Horns get lots more wear and tear than brakes I suspect.
OK, that's enuf....still do love this place and these warm people.
Thanks to all of you! You're very kind to respond to my questions.

发布者oops, it was near Weishan that I bought my art piece...not Wenshan.
Event: Living Threads — Celebrating Yunnan's Sani Culture
发布者I'm not in Kunming (or in China) anymore but I love the embroidery art of Yunnan and I wonder if there is any way I could see this film? I would be happy to pay to watch it online, if that is an option. I own several embroidery paintings...the best one is from an "art factory" near Wenshan (so probably not Yi)
Around Town: Exploring Kunming's outdoor pools
发布者Yes thanks a bunch for the article. Too funny since I was just trying to figure out where I'd have to fly to spend a few days tanning and lolling by some water. This is a much cheaper idea and that first pool looks great for sure.
First-hand account: Setting up a guesthouse in Xishuangbanna
发布者I suppose it will be hard to get a response to this thread also but, like AlexKMG, I'd love to know if this hotel did open. I would like to go there soon but can't find it in any search engines. Help???? I'm guessing it didn't work out but hoping that it did.
Book Review: Among the Tribes in South-West China
发布者I read this book a year ago and was appalled initially to see that it was in fact written by a missionary. (I would never intentionally give a penny to a missionary.) Having said that, I read the first half of the book since he did try to separate the anthropology from the missionary BS. And there were indeed a few interesting observations about the ethnic groups and he had clearly bothered to learn a lot about the languages.
Still, even the first part can't help adding in religious judgments and hypocritical nonsense. People are viewed from the perspective of their willingness to accept a load of you-know-what without becoming physically ill.
I passed my book along to a Christian and still feel guilty for having bought it without paying enough attention to the source/author.
