Forums > Travel Yunnan > visa turnaround possible at vietnam border?

I don't think Hekou is changing anytime soon, so this over six month old info should still be good. Answer is: No.

It's physically possible to just exit China and walk back downstairs and re-enter without even crossing the bridge to the Vietnam side. However, last time I asked if it was possible to do this, and the answer seemed to be "no." The actual answer was "go get a visa from a travel agency in town" to my couple of attempts at asking. So, I assume they still won't let you out without a Viet visa. This was not an issue for me as I already got one in Kunming.

If you're not opposed to staying a night in Hekou, you could try to exit-reenter. Maybe it works. If it doesn't, you just pay the same 400rmb to some travel agency in town for a Viet visa and then cross. But make sure you got a few days left.

If you care about the rmb or feel injustice was done and feel punitive, then show up with your foreign coworker, their children, and your daughter to the photo studio and demand compensation, or threaten to do so after haranguing your Chinese coworker.

If you don't need the rmb, just chalk this up another China learning experience. Inform you're foreign coworker of how their children were exploited. Then tell your Chinese coworker to stay the f*** away from all foreign kids.

Either way, take the kids for some ice cream. Gompo's right, Dairy Queen is a better choice.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Which van is better; a New WULING or used JINBEI?

Sleep diagonal; get a couple more inches or ten cm. Carry two spare tires; all kinds of bolts or razor sharp rocks on Yunnan back roads. Minivans are pretty high on theft list as they are quite useful and easy to flip. But since you'll be sleeping in the van, your theft chances lessen.

Isn't this title kind of retarded from an academic? China is in Asia.
Yunnan: A Chinese Bridgehead to Itself. I look forward to Seattle: An American Bridgehead to North America.

I just rode to the intersect where the pretty clean water hits the panlongjiang. By the time the water past the 2nd ring road, it was already kind of brown and mucky, and by the 1st ring road, it was worse. I wonder if it will be any cleaner and Dianchi by the time it reaches it.

Also, you can see the nearby shell of the fake waterfall being constructed.

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.
