OK, thanks for the responses. Guessing it's unlikely at best.

I think it's called yibao, so can non Chinese citizens get that or some other local health insurance?
From the past threads on this issue, it seems like expats buy health insurance from sites like brokerfish or pacificprime or covered via work.
Anyone gotten a China tourist (L) or biz (M) visa in either Changmai or Phnom Penh recently or this year? If so, what was your experience like?
Bamboo Temple is my pick, but like the other one, on a hill out of the city. Er Ji station is way far and several bus transfers from both. Try baidu maps for directions.

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.

The faceless grottos of Anning's Fahua Temple
发布者Thanks. Nice travelogue. Bern to various grottoes great and small. Both large and small showing what a couple of hundred years of weather and vandals does to the head of carvings. Even though the small ones like this aren't as impressive, I find them more peaceful and always tended by a humble monk or two. Haven't been to this one, but should make for a great cycle.
