Some good comparisons I have heard over the years.
Chinese drive the same way they play chess - on the lines, not in the box (lanes). Driving is a new (10-15 years) phenomena here in China. But after 12 years I see a significant difference on a daily basis. When driving from Kunming to Dali just about every other car drove on the line 12 years ago, now those are the minority and they are horn blasted out of the way by passing trucks, buses and SUVs - change on an individual and group level.
Religion (Buddhism, Taoism, + Confucianism) have all been intergrated and the average (40 - 50 years and younger) person can not answer simple questions about any of these aspects of religion. People go to temple to rub Buddhas belly and wish for luck and money - that is the extent of their knowledge. Mostly older people (over 60 - 3 generations ago) visit the temples and can answer many questions regarding dieties and practices. I know, I am the Temple king of Kunming and have visited over 256 temples in 5 districts.
Unlike other SE Asian countries where buddhism is a way of life and practiced daily by all members of the family. The tradition is still alive in younger people.
I mention these 2 to show how people and chinese culture are changing rapidly now - Mianzi is another such example.
To be rich is glorious - Deng Xiao Ping - This is all that matters now until it goes to far and the pendulum must swing in the opposite direction (Destruction of environment and destruction of Family values).
Lets see what the LAW has to say about this topic. These regs are from 2013 which I believe to be outdated as well as there is no mention of 72V Ebikes. Only mentions 48V and 64V.
This is a great topic to address with 12345 - the Mayors Hotline to get a clear answer as to what is legal and illegal. If anything, complaints will at least force them to update the regulations.
Internet has made people aware of some unusual Chinese Phenomena which are the result of the 1 Child policy which recently changed in 2015. Examples such as 421, Little Emperor, Hong Kong Kids, Boomerang Kids and the dramatic increase of kids going to school abroad at earlier ages (before was mostly for university).
All these factors are changing the Family Dynamics of chinese culture on an individual as well as a group level.
I have to disagree. As I mentioned earlier, my wife is presently attending many Parenting classes here in Kunming and other large cities that offer/conduct this type of training. The Family dynamic is changing and evolving very quickly right now and will see many changes throughout the next decade.
Again, this is due to western influence. All changes first must take place on an individual level (family) before they can evolve into group level chnages (business). The way of doing business is chnaging as a result of people changing.
Does anyone have specific directions on how to visit this dam? Where exactly is it? I see a lookout point in the picture so I assume visitors can come.
The video is very informative but does NOT specifically tell you where these locations are located. The entrance ticket to SHI LIN (Stone Forest) is 175 Yuan. I prefer to buy an annual ticket for 200 Yuan and I can use it at any time during the year. Bring your passport and you can purchase an annual ticket which includes entrance to the MAJOR stone Forest, MINOR stone Forest, BU SHAO SHAN, LI ZI YUAN QING, WAN NIAN LING ZHI, and NAIGU stone Forest (Black Stone Forest).
Most of the footage on the video is of the Black Stone Forest. Few people know about it so each time I go, there are very few visitors, less than 5 people. This location has been completely renovated but it lacks many basics. However, There is NOWHERE to purchase any food or water anywhere in the entire park.
Another location seen in the Video is DA DIE SHUI Waterfall. This USED TO BE included in the price of the entrance ticket more than 1 year ago but it no longer is considered part of the Stone Forest. Presently, the waterfall scenic area is under renovation. The Waterfall is located more then 30 km away from the main park. 2 years ago, you can purchase tickets for the waterfall ONLY for 18 Yuan but I have no idea what the price will be after the renovation is complete.

I ASSUME that the writers and staff of GOKUNMING write these articles in an effort to inform the reader of an event or location of some significance in and around Kunming.
I find many of these articles lacking in vital information. In an attempt to be CREATIVE, the writers fail in being INFORMATIVE.
For example, the writers mentions Jiexiao Xiang many, many times but fails to tell the reader where this place is. Is it somewhere in Yunnan? Is it in Kunming? There are 5 districts in Kunming - is it in Pan long District? Or is it in one of the other 4 districts? Is there a major crossroad where this small alley can be found. Perhaps near Beijing Road or Guangfu Road.
I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I research many of the places I visit. But I really would like to read an article here and NOT be left with MORE questions than when I started.
I ask the staff of GOKunming to please be more specific when writing about places to visit and give SPECIFIC directions such as name of town or village and county and prefecture when writing. Thank you.
The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.

Deputy mayor answers 12345 hotline
发布者I am glad to see more people get involved in their community and use this hotline. I was surprised to read that they receive 2000 calls each day.
I prefer to use the internet site - where I can receive a reply.
