Forgot to add, I rode by the Beer Lao brewery in Vientiane. They had fields of their own barley and maybe hops growing right outside of it. And such a wonderful aroma coming from the brewery itself. Sadly no tours. Beer Lao isn't owned by some mega spirits drink conglomerate. Another + in my book.
Replace westside with east side of city.
I think last year in Guangzhou some car dealerships opened 24 hours a day right before new car registration restrictions were going to become law.
They should run till last plane, but beware line 1 might stop before 2am, so you might have to take line 2 headed towards train station, but you can exit westside of city before, but keep any luggage on board as they won't open luggage hatch below except at end destination.
Also, until last flight, doesn't mean until you decide to get the bus. They keep an estimated number of buses around for an estimated amount of time or maybe till they are full and depart. Get onboard asap.
For the first timer...

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.

发布者Yeah, mPRin said. I no longer even look at reviews so don't bother checking out new places.
Kunming in the aftermath of the train station attack
发布者I went to the train station in Chengdu a couple of years ago. There was so much security you would need a tank. Kunming zhan is a much softer target. No chance the attackers are local.
