my 3 months L visa (tourist) expires the 5th of january. I know I should go to Beijing Lu to extend it, but I was wondering if I can just go a day beforehand, and if the extension starts on the day my visa expires, or on the day I go to the office.
Ah yes, vpn, but I already use SSH tunneling, which works fine as well, it's just slower than without any such methods (VPN included), which makes uploading a disaster.
lol... just download pwnage tool and you can unlock your iphone for free :) I've done it and it works perfectly. Just be careful with updating to new firmwares in itunes, as it might break the option to unlock for a while.
I fully agree with Colin's point made in the last paragraph. I've been a vegetarian for a few years, mainly because I did want to know where my food comes from and those findings proved to be far from pleasant for both animal and consumer. Sticking your head in the sand surely doesn't change anything.
I'll admit I wouldn't be too keen on following Colin's example, but I definitely admire his deed. Otherwise, I believe knowing the origins of our foodstuff is desirable (and challenging!) at the least.
Also looking forward to have a taste of the resulting products!
Xizhou is one of Dali's gems, only about 18 kilometers north along the lake from Dali Old Town. The old town still feels authentic and is like a living gallery, showcasing the impressive artistry and culture of the Bai people.
It makes for a great stop on the way up to Shaxi Old Town too, which is perhaps my favourite place in Dali prefecture.
I've been to the Stone Forest many times and although when entering the park it may feel a bit like a tourist trap, there's areas in the back that, even during high season, are usually extremely quiet and can be explored without being surrounded by the crowds.
The landscape is unique and different from many nearly areas that also feature karst rock formations. Definitely worth a visit for those who haven't been yet.
Five stars for focussing on healthy foods. Homemade live sauerkraut, lots of dishes with quinoa, chia seeds, avocado, and tons of other superfoods mixed to create a tasty and healthy cuisine. I hope this is only the beginning of a new wave of alternative food options in the city.
One of the better options in Lijiang for a western meal. Had a set menu through meituan for only 99 yuan that included a very decent steak and onion soup. The environment is spacious and nicely designed with the restaurant being conveniently located in between the InterContinental and LUX hotel inside of the old town. We were not drinking, but they looked like having an impressive wine collection. 5 stars if they improve on speed and service level.
Sofitel is easily one of Kunming's top hotels now, featuring one of the best locations, in between the city center and the popular Dianchi Lake area.
The views from any of its rooms, as well as the buffet restaurant are quite stunning, offering previously unseen panoramas over the whole of Kunming.
There's a bar on the 50th floor, although currently it still has some work to do to be able to compare itself with similar 'skybars' in Shanghai or Beijing.

Illegal 'gutter oil' operation casts shadow on Kunming food safety
发布者No wonder Kunming is 'la duzi' paradise...
