Forums > Living in Kunming > Subway card Today I went to Xiao Xi Men (Xi An Ma Road - Walmart) to exchange my old bus card for the new Subway/Bus Card.
I was refunded the money in my old card but I was not refunded the 20 Yuan deposit. We asked why and we were told that 1 Yuan is deducted from the card every month. After the 20 Yuan has been used up the 1 Yuan fee is automatically stopped.
So for all of us who believed this was a deposit, we now know this is really a hidden fee.
The new subway card also has this 20 Yuan hidden fee (Deposit).

Learning the art of the crossbow in Yunnan
发布者I have the name, phone and address of a Lisu crossbow maker in Liuku. The crossbows pictured above are all short, the man I met makes the long crossbows. If interested, let me know and I will pass on the info needed to contact him. He sells bows, arrows, quivers and has a collection of exotic animals he hunted and killed in Burma.
