Forums > Travel Yunnan > hotels in Yunnan

Good luck finding a hotel in Mengzi that will take you (that isn't some stupidly expensive luxury hotel).

I've found accommodations upon arrival in hundreds of cities and towns throughout Yunnan, and Mengzi was one of the most difficult. Had to try about 5 hotels before I found one that would take me.

I saw this book in a library when I was in the United States last year. It's great! But I'd never seen it in any bookstore in China. Where did you get your copy, Dan?

"But realistically, how often do most people get out of Kunming and into other parts of the province? You could just as easily hop on a plane from the east coast and explore Yunnan during your holidays."

I don't know about "most people" but I get out of Kunming ALL THE TIME. The only reason I live in Kunming is because it is the transportation hub of Yunnan and makes a good base for exploring the rest of the province. So far, in 4 years, I've made pretty good use of my time, with about 25% of it spent outside of Kunming. Whenever I'm in Kunming for longer than 2 weeks at a time I get bored and have to get out.

And no, you could not just as easily hop on a plane from the east coast and explore the kinds of places that are most deserving of exploration. Maybe you could explore Dali or Lijiang or Jinghong, but most of Yunnan requires hours and hours from the nearest airport. These places do not quick weekend getaways make.

This is a really nice new restaurant in Dali. High quality vegetarian and vegan food, varied menu, daily specials. They make their own kombucha, too. The environment is very chill...multiple layers, floor seating, an outdoor courtyard and terrace balcony overlooking the the roofs of the neighbors in old Dali

Serendipity is an honest-to-gosh American style diner, a concept I don't think I've ever really seen before in China.

They do salads, burgers, and pasta dishes, but the true stars of the menu are the breakfasts, which are served all day.

No measly hostel breakfast sets, these ones come with heaping servings of bacon and eggs and bottomless coffee.

No table seating. Everyone sits around the counter, where you can see what's going on in the kitchen and chat with the friendly staff.

The fresh donuts are the best I've had in China

The 68 kuai Saturday night all-you-can-eat buffet is a terrific deal.

Steak, pork loin, chicken schnitzel, pizza, two kinds of salad, creme de caramel, cheesecake, and lots of other stuff.

Recently experienced both very early morning departure and very late night arrival at Changshui. Was worried about making the connection to and from the airport, but both turned out well.

First, the departure. It was 7:30 am. I arranged a taxi to pick me up at 5:00. That he did. Cost: 100 yuan.

The departure was scheduled for 12:30 am, was delayed, and didn't get in until 2:30 am. I was sure I'd have to find a black cab, and wasn't even sure if I would find that. Instead, I was delighted to discover that the Airport Express Bus was still running! For 25 yuan it took me to the train station, where I then caught a cab for the short ride the rest of the way home. I was very impressed by this late night bus. I'd thought the buses only ran till around 11 pm-midnight. I don't know if this is a regular occurrence or not. Maybe, knowing my flight was delayed and there would be hundreds of passengers looking for a ride home, the airport dispatched an extra bus. If so, kudos to whoever was responsible!
