Ahh, I went during summer, but I have heard of that village, so maybe worth while since you are going around that time. Also, I think there is a better road than I traveled on to Tengchong, so go for it.
@Alien. I'm not sure Chinese buses spew less crap.
@okly78. Tengchong was nice and all with a decent hot spring, but maybe just spend your week exploring Nujiang as it's better scenery. Maybe if we could cross into Myanmar from Ruili I'd rank Tengchong a bit higher.
Don't think there is a used market near you. Maybe just check the classifieds or buy a cheap bike from Walmart or C4. There is a uni somewhat near you on e huancheng rd. Sometimes you can ask whoever is in charge of the bike parking if they have bikes for sale. Many students just leave them chained up and graduate.
Huangtupo sells used bikes but it's really far from you and entrance is a little difficult to find if you just get off bus stop.
@Yuantongsi. I think no documents besides your passport are needed if you are sending to another person's account. Again, I tried two years ago, but it seems to still be the case as Kernalpanx recently did it. I'm sure if you're sending it to yourself, then maybe more questions and docs required.
The 50k is a limit for anyone, Chinese or foreigner. The only condition I am aware of is that it needs to be sent to personal accounts for personal or educational expenses. The only corporate or institutional account allowed, again would have to be related to education, like a university. Info is two years old.
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.

China to monitor bad tourist behavior
发布者@Alien. You seem to speak on behalf of the Chinese people? Do you see mass protests against this law? You, with your western ideals dislike this law. Don't presume you know what the Chinese people want. I should of not even bothered with a reply. Anyone who doesn't consider China a police state is mentally defecient.
China to monitor bad tourist behavior
发布者@Alien. It's a Chinese proposal. It's the Chinese government that is embarrassed by it's citizen. You're a hypocrite. When it suits your ideals, you harangue others, when not, you defend China pulling the culture card. China enjoys being a police state and enjoy living in it.
