utm8: Best you come look on the ground for a week or so, see how the place is, though you should inquire about available jobs at universities or wherever first because of hiring dates.
As for cold in winter, it's not all that cold, but of course the apartments are unheated, and after a few years you get annoyed by the cold days in winter (usually snows about twice a winter, usually doesn't stay on the ground for more than a few hours, though last winter there was more). There's not that much wind, so I don't think much of any wind chill. Maybe some people are affected by the 2000-meter altitude of Kunming and Dali, but I don't know anybody who has a serious problem with it. Usual relatively low humidity, which I don't notice either much, moderates the cold, doesn't accentuate it, though of course when it snows the humidity is higher. I don't know Fuzhou, but Taipei winters are wetter than here, more humid and, for me anyway, more of a nuisance.

Heaps of congratulations on the quality of the book and on getting it out - takes awhile, I know (I speak as one who's been trying to write basically the same book for almost 40 years).

OK, well, if Qiantuoluo is the transliteration of Gandhara, then tuodong = East Gandhara makes sense & is logical - just, man, you said 'Kandahar' & that was quite a few jumps away within a bad memory.
And of course India has influenced Yunnan, no surprise. & more to the OP, the yoga - Chinese-meditation connections are many.

Not quite what you'd call a jumping place, but not bad at all for rather standard US-type meals, not overly expensive, and with a really good salad bar that's cheap, or free with most dinner dishes after 5:30PM. You can get a bottle of beer or even wine if you really want to, but I've never seen anybody do it - maybe that's just to take out. Chinese Christian run, and they hire people with physical disadvantages, who are pleasant and helpful. Frequented by foreign (mostly North American) Christians and Chinese Christians - was started by a Canadian couple associated with Bless China (previously, Project Grace), who are no longer here, but no religious pressure or any of that. Steaks are nothing special, and I avoid the Korean dishes, which I've had a few times but which did not impress me.

As a shop and bakery, it's very good bread at reasonable prices, of various kinds (Y18 for a good multigrain loaf that certainly weighs well over a pound. Other stuff too, like granola and oatmeal that is local, as well as imported things, including American cornflakes and so forth, which some people seem to require.

Large portions, seriously so with the pizza, which is Brooklyn/American style, I guess. Convivial, conversational, good place to drink with good folks on both sides of the bar, especially after about 9PM.

Really good pizza and steaks. The wine machine fuddles me when I'm a bit fuddled, & seems unnecessary. Good folks on both sides of the bar.
