Forums > Living in Kunming > Civilized Kunming A friend of a friend runs a family operated shao kao stand at night... they rake in 30K a month! Yeah, no kidding.
I've found breakfast stands to be quite convenient in the early mornings. Now they've completely vanished in visible traffic areas. They'll find their way back soon enough once Kunming earns the coveted "civilized" badge.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Civilized Kunming Ahead of Beijing inspections this month, the red bicycle dock stations installed everywhere in inner city these past few weeks, feels like smokescreen attempt by local/provincial officials to show central accounting what they've done with their allocated budgets all these years, which in reality were probably back pocketed and not put to use for the good denizens of Spring City. Maybe i'm just being overly cynical.

Believe it or not, this store is still standing in all its quaint glory! Granted most of 福林堂's neighbors around the Old Street area have had a major face lift.
