Cherry blossom are in bloom. Visitors are allowed to pitch tents inside the grassy areas of Kunming Zoo/Yuantong shan right under the sakura trees. Kids ought to love a day of picnic. Admission is around 20rmb.

Cherry on top, I believe the international circus has been in town for a while now inside the zoo. Exotic circus bird-feeding activities for additional 10rmb. Front-row VIP circus seats 180rmb, 2nd tier seats are 120rmb, 3rd tier 100rmb, and 80rmb for the peanut gallery.

Also inside the zoo, there's a new family playground installation for children ages one through 16 years old. Parents can accompany the child in the play-zone. 68 yuan per person.

True, perhaps even costing 50-100rmb more than lowest prices on Qunar booking.

Yet domestic flights are marred with reoccurring delays... long, crowded queues for check-in, security checkpoint, and boarding... only to be met with no jet bridge at the end of the tunnel...

squeezed into airside transfer buses in lieu, like a train en route to Auschwitz... the vehicle finally moves when all passengers are crushed into vertically packed sardines...

reaching the plane parked in no man's land, passengers are squirted out via osmosis... only to be rewarded with portable "air stairs" to further test our agility & endurance...

climbing the slippery steps with heavy carry-on in hand(s) while braving the elements of wind & rain, praying to god you won't fall flat on your face in front of that pretty air stewardess greeting behind the plug door...

once safe inside the cabin, musical chairs & dodging overhead baggage shot put ensue... 20 minutes listening to safety instructions, another 20 while plane taxis for takeoff, electronic devices turned off for the next 20 during takeoff...

now repeat the turbulent ordeal in reverse upon landing/disembarkation.

@Ocean, now that's old school.

Kunming's ubiquitous Jiang Brothers' (江勇 & 江俊) "Qiaoxiangyuan" cross-bridge rice noodles restaurant chain origin and breakup saga deserves it's own featured article.

At an early age, the brothers began their enterprise after working in the Mengzi railway for two years.

For charity events, it may be important to make visible on GoK names of top donors afterwards. Beforehand, tell personal biographical stories of the children who were saved last year:

This baby weighed only 5 kilograms and was not growing. His parents are farmers, earning about $3000 per year.
