As a foodie, I have a bunch of Kunming city-center restaurants too share. However, promoting restaurants in forums has been frowned upon by GoK.
I'll make one-off to share one particular fusion restaurant buffet chain that recently opened in a brand new department store.
It's called JiBuLu Happy Buffet (吉布鲁快乐自助). Only 89rmb per person, but IMO one of the highest value & quality to price ratio for all seafood/steak buffets in Kunming.
Through the 10th of November, the grand opening restaurant will offer two 50rmb vouchers for every 100rmb spent. Vouchers have a 3-month expiration window to be used next meal per person basis (weekend excluded). So in essence around 65rmb for spectacular back-to-back buffets w/ friends & family!
Below are accurate photos of the restaurant interior and foods served. The actual gastronomic experience far exceeds the pictures:
I know many who fly to Paris are luxury cosmetics & handbag 代购 resellers who take advantage of VAT refunds. Their buyers make payments in advance for these imported luxury goods which otherwise would cost arm & leg in Chinese department stores.
For future reference, those looking to buy new phones at a b&m store in Kunming may want to visit JiuJi (九机）chain. Renowned by locals, it's cheaper than most with reliable warranties.
Again, protocol needs to be set to "Automatic." Tokyo1 is quite fast.
Perhaps the fastest ping/dl/ul rates are on China Telecom, compared to CM or CU providers.
This is why ExpressVPN is one of the most reliable services for China, also one of the most expensive. Their engineers are highly responsive in the round the clock arms race.
Beg to differ. In a world of over-populated cities, eco-scraper (or green skyscrapers) are needed more than ever via sustainable development to curb carbon footprints. China is leading the way with the vision of environmentally-mindful architects from around the world. Societies need to build up in lieu of compromising nature via flat.
The 407-meter Eye of Spring (aka "Dongfeng Square") skyscraper will reign supreme momentarily before being quickly dethroned by a even taller 458-meter skyscraper by developer Greenland (绿地东南亚区域总部中心) in Wujiaba (old airport):
My bad, after careful reading, the "red" line isn't the actual Red KRT Line 1 that goes North to South. It may help to zoom out the map with actual KRT Lines we are accustomed to seeing as reference.

Iconic Kunming landmark getting subterranean facelift
发布者For the life of me I'm having trouble reading the above map.
I thought Line 3 & Line 1 are perpendicular from one another, not parallel.
Chinese maps often get the English compass rose cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) mixed up, confusing the hell out of navigators.
