I agree, this guy was not significant, probably a nutcase, and a lot of people dislike the US government. But which people's hero might he have thought he could be?
If you need visa office services, Chiang Mai is also good.
Viet Nam border at Hekou by overnight train at about 11PM from Kunming main station, back the next afternoon leaving Hekou about 4PM. Most nationalities need a visa, which costs 300rmb (get it at VN consulate in Kunming, takes 2-3 days), but the cost is way overridden by the low cost of the overall trip. I'd advise a hard sleeper to Hekou, hard seat coming back. Train only takes about 6 hours.
@Vicar: (1) Business?? (2) 'In today's real world' - well, what else can you do? However, by the time they grow up TODAY'S real world will be history, and modern life will be out of date.

Best wishes.

Environmentalists sue Yunnan hydropower developers

Kunming versus the cold snap
发布者Hard to imagine Kunming as a good choice for Winter Olympics, but I can imagine its possibility as some kind of political/diplomatic decision. Of course that is not, from a sports perspective, what national or international sports spectaculars should be about - but how long has it been since that was the real consideration, anyway?
New high-speed rail line to link Kunming with Dali
