Aso: I strongly feel you are overplanning, suggest you consider trying to appreciate whatever comes along a bit more, sounds like you're looking at your trip as a job that has to be completed 'successfully', rather than accepting it as an 'adventure' of a minor nature - you know: a little bit like life, without a box around it that is guaranteed by an insurance policy.
My guess is that the majority of the other posters here would, for the most part, agree with me.
Agree with Lemon, suggest you cut your itinerary in half, at least. Although many postcards are available, Yunnan is in fact quite an interesting place.
Some buses to Jinghong may stop at both North & South bus stations, most will not.
I have done overnight buses to & from Jinghong. Didn't see a damn thing along the way, met nobody, and didn't sleep too well.
6. I have found buses departing Dali Old Town for Kunming - ask when you get there.
7. Only buses I know start from 昆明南部客运站, located in Chenggong on the ditie (subway).
8. I don't know, but it doesn't matter - it will arrive either at the North or South Bus station, not the Banna station. Have made the trip many times, arrival usually and most recently at the North Bus Station.
Strongly suggest you not try to plan everything in advance - play it by ear, the bus system works. How long do you plan to travel in Yunnan?
I see gokunming has pretty much given up on up-to-date weather forecasts - don't blame them.
No results found.
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.
Too bourgeois.
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.
Ain't no flies on Salvador's.
China hands out happy city awards, Kunming sad
发布者Social cooperation is also hard-wired into the individuals of an innately social species such as ourselves, without which the individuals of our species would not have survived to pass on any genes..Rouseau's 'noble savage' never existed, both he and Hobbes were wrong.

发布者Subjective reports of happiness mean something, but I'm not sure what.
Kunming smells part II: The good, the bad and the ugly
发布者You get used to it all after awhile, as most of Kunming's 7 million inhabitants surely have.
Government sues parents to get kids back to school
发布者@nnoble: don't follow - who or what is rotting? I can think of various candidates, but I'm not sure which one you're talking about.
Government sues parents to get kids back to school
发布者There are economic issues concerning education in China for very poor communities, which obviously need a bigger share of the economic pie than they are getting. Yet China's 'socialist market economy' is increasing the overall level of economic resources within China.
What's wrong with this picture?
