Forums > Living in Kunming > Extend turist Visa

HongKong or Bangkok are safe bets. I think people have said you can get a China visa in Chiangmai and Vientiane also.

It might be cheaper to change your ticket date or city even, depending how nice your airline is.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Man with a Van

This guy helped me move a mattress and table and chair for 150rmb. Forgot his name but here is the mobile. 13577000050. This info is a year old though. Also, the 150 rate was starting from his base near Nanya to xiyuan bei lu. He might charge more if from different locales. He has a medium truck, so that means early or late as they can't enter past 2nd ring road certain times of day, like rush hours. No English spoken, but putonghua was ok.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Western Union currently not working

I would open a Bank of China account or HSBC account if you want the best chance of success for receiving an international wire transfer. Kunming is pretty slack for banking expertise, so even Bank of China can be clueless, thus HSBC is best for international stuff. I was successful in getting a wire transfer from my brother in the USA at CCB in Shenzhen, but staff are trained much better in that city.

I thought Western Union was station to station, meaning your sister sends the money to be picked up in person by you at a Western Union location? I think that's how it worked in the US anyways.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Qingshuihai Reservoir

Anyone happen to pass, live nearby, or will go near Qingshuihai (清水海) reservoir?

If so, I would appreciate an ideas on the water level at that reservoir. Thanks.

Is it open to the public? Is there an entrance fee? Are there buses to and from? Is there ebike parking? Are there dining options besides instant noodles and plastic dogs inside the convention center?

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.
