Breaking. China has ordered US consulate in Chengdu, Sichuan to close. Tit for tat for Houston.
Been opened since a day or two ago. Was looking forward to Christopher Nolan's Tenet next month. The film's worldwide release date has again been postponed. China also seem to ban foreign films with long running times. Tenet is over 2.5 hours.
Categorization seems to work well for Listings on mobile device. Thanks Yereth for your hard work.
A new high speed rail line from Dali to Chengdu will begin next month. I believe July 1, but need verification.
No results found.
Kunming Metro Line 4 and Line 6 (phase 2) officially in operation
发布者Just a subway map, blob.
If Yereth hasn't started, perhaps take the easier route. Have someone shoot a high def photo of the official KRT poster at the station and upload the image here. They should have English pinyin alongside the Chinese. Done.
The first of gaggle of gulls has arrived
发布者Local news on Douyin is reporting first flock of sea gulls have returned to Haigeng dam. 20 days earlier than usual. Eye witnesses living near Dianchi, have you seen them first hand? Tough Q1 for them in Kunming. We, the locals and tourists, will make it up this time around.

I'd add Shandong is also a worthy destination to look into for those who haven't been. People amiability culture surpasses all provinces on average. The stereotype is valid.
JanJal, adding covid experiences, perhaps Kunming stands out more. Based on limited first hand comparison. Though I can't speak for outskirt Dali where showering is a rare, luxury commodity, lol.
