Hot springs there. But quite a ways to go for just that. City is pleasant but average.

Walking around Mengzi looking for a an economy hotel that will accept a foreigner? Better have really really really light luggage and comfortable shoes. Not advisable. Possibly one of the chain homeinn or 7day can process a walk-in, but even that's not always the case in tier3 cities. You can always try the touts at the bus station and stay at their back alley bingguan if you get hard up or taxi to 5star, your preference. Been to Mengzi plenty, suggest you cough up that 20rmb booking fee as a solo foreigner. Now if you have a Chinese wife to travel with, sure, hit the town and go find your lodging for the night.
Same day through sz counts as an entry exit. I've just gone on the train ride to sheung shui (first stop) and back without even shopping, so like just twenty minutes total in HK and it was fine. I think you need to cross around 10pm latest as last trains are 11pm or so. Futian crossing as bad as luohu now. There is a 24hour crossing called HuangGang, but it's not reachable by metro. If you can find a cheap fare, just fly hkexpress there and back. Probably some time to do shopping near airport at city gate outlets.
Make sure to keep an eye as he repairs. If you get the feeling he is tinkering around too much tell him to stop.
Unless you are going the organic or other health niche related to your birds, don't bother. Chicken is going industrial scale. Cargill already has a plant in Anhui. Large chain supermarkets and fast food cut deals with the big processors.
No results found.
Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.
If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.
Update:
It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.
Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.
You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.
The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.
Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.
Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.
They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.
Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.
Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.
Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
Learning the art of the crossbow in Yunnan
发布者Interesting article, but it seems the Chinese hill tribes didn't really seem to have kept the crossbow culture alive either. They are just more enterprising than the Thai and make crappy ones for sale?
Work commences on Lijiang-Shangri-la Railroad
发布者As nice as a train option to Shangrila would be, it's not worth spending a billion rmb x10.
Fundraiser: More For Baby children's autism center
发布者You know, your fear mongering with regards to vaccines is easy to ignore or tolerable when it just about adults, but when it pervades into children vaccinations, it moves into the realm of despicable.
