Forums > Travel Yunnan > hotels in Yunnan

I haven't been to Sichuan in awhile, but it used to be the case that many more hotels were closed to foreigners there - even in Chengdu - than was the case in Yunnan. Provincial governments regs of some sort, I think.

@ Vicar: Afraid you're right. Influence of 'success', drive for 'modernity', etc. - crystalization of older class-driven values in rationalized, largely monetary terms, leads to short-term thinking. Later, when 'the past' becomes a socially-significant commodity, the syndrome gets reversed, especially for upper-middle classes and upper classes. But already the past has postcard and tourism value for many, while academics flop around trying to figure out what he past 'really' was, and understand what it means for the future.

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.
