Forums > Living in Kunming > Pics of Chenggong Subway

I saw the light rail stations starting from the southern bus and heading north on caiyun lu. The stations are similar to ones in other cities that use the elevated light rail. The southern bus station metro/light rail stop looked very impressive in black stone. Most looked finished.

Xiamen is easily more liveable than Kunming. Also, should Kunming's haze become worse and permanent, then Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Guilin, Wuhan, and Luoyang all become contenders. I'd even consider Hefei.

Also your top 100 would include cities with populations under 3 million. It's possible Quijing would be in it.

@EveAnnemarie

GoKunming.com is one of those western support services. I assume you used it to find a place to live, or find a job, or find a good meal or band, or get a question answered. Imagine moving to Quijing and trying to get those things done. Possible of course, but would take you weeks or months rather than days.

As to the restaurants and imported food. It all depends how long you've been in China. Long enough, and you begin you factor those things in.

@tigertiger
Can't remember the last time Xishan didn't have a haze around it when viewed from Haigeng. Oh wait, I can...that was couple years ago when I first landed in Kunming and thought what a wonderful view that was. I haven't considered it a nice view for a while now.

Air quality is on it's way to permanent haze. I'll be looking for an exit too. If I didn't use bike as my main transport, probably would of left last year.

In addition to retarded taxis, add in retarded road construction. Reminxi lu is being torn up yet again, and Guanfu lu is having it's stone tiles just moved around from one place to another.

Western support services are nice in Kunming, but like you, I'm wondering if it's enough to put up with Kumning's downhill air and city life.

I went up to the roof of our complex a while back. 2 of 6 solar water tanks had pretty leaky pipes. I think your figure of 20-40L is right. The other 60L+ is waste cause water is too cheap and will remain so despite a drought.

Interviews and Getting Away articles,; always some great reporting. Add this one to that.

That's a very good point. I forgot in the USA we don't even have highspeed rail, and the one planned in California will take decades, not years. I shouldn't complain too much.

Great update on all the planned transportation. I'll believe it when I see it, or in this case, I ride on it. Kunming subway is taking forever, so not going to hold my breath for that highspeed rail to somewhere.

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.
