Forums > Living in Kunming > Where to buy shoes?

One other thought.. If it is a Chinese wedding, attending in a suit is not necessarily the norm. Might want to check on the attire they expect before you run around and pay too much for things.

I meant a custom last on the KM cobblers. They have premade lasts that definitely weren't the right shape for my feet. Probably fine if just using once. They are dirt cheap, just really bad quality. I wore mine until I could get some other shoes and then threw them away.

I'm the same size as you. Kwun Kee Tailors are a HK company and are terribly expensive. I normally fly to Bangkok for good suits. Much cheaper quality for quality than Kunming. For something that Kuan Kee will charge more than 10000 for you can pick up something as good for about 2000 in Bangkok.

As for shoes, good luck, I stock up when I go home. I tried the custom option here but they were absolutely terrible quality. The Chinese in general look at tailor made stuff as being lower quality than off the rack, so if you go for a tailored suit or shoes you won't get anything special uess you are prepared to fork out big dollars here. I've headed good reports about tailored shoes in Hoian. They actually use a last unlike in Kunming.

If I need shoes in a desperate hurry I normally go to an international brand store and just ask for that size. If you go to enough of them you will eventually find a 45.. Never a 46. Then they will charge some rediculous price for a pair of shoes that aren't that great anyway.

Hedgepig, if you really want good DimSum, the best place in town is 新人人海鲜大酒楼. They did a big renovation earlier in the year and the quality of the food seems to have improved a lot after they reopened. It is pretty easy to find south of the intersection of DianChi Rd and HuanCheng Rd.

深圳酒楼 has also made big strides in improving it's quality, but they don't have as big a range of menu items and I personally find the standard of the items they have to be a little lower. For those living in the North or around Green Lake, it can sometimes be a lot more convenient to get to though.

If you have been hanging out for a good DimSum for three years though, forget 深圳酒楼 and head straight for 新人人.

Motor boats aren't allowed on the lake, with the exception of safety craft operated by the local government. All the fishing vessels you see are powered the old fashioned way.

As for the road, at the moment you can take the Kunyu highway about half the way and then have to turn off onto smaller roads. Wouldn't be so difficult driving if their weren't so many trucks on the road which struggle with the hills and some of the bumpier sections. Once you get to the lake however, it is pretty smooth driving, and a really easy connection from Yuxi City (still involves a few painful sections though). Normally takes about 45 mins to reach the lake from downtown Kunming.

Awesome little bakery. Lots of interesting food. For every Australian out there, the meat pies smelled great, though they weren't ready for eating when I went in. Will definitely be back for those soon.
