I think the lack of minorities to convert is what keeps them out of dongbei. Climate isnt enough of a deterrent.

Lol, I always thought it was lan mei lo. Damn Canton dialect. There is one of these sitting in one of shenzhen's busiest commercial centers. I've always suspected the owner pissed off some official, but maybe it has a view of some airfield :)
Consulate in Kunming or a travel agency in hekou or go online and apply with an agency for a visa on arrival at airport arrival only.
@Tonyaod. I think they are letting foreign ww2 allied troops into Beijing and march in the parade.
True, the Qiaotou end is already built up, so that would be ok. However, you never know with Chinese planning. Some official just draws a line on a map without regards. Case in point, not too long ago there were plans to damn up the gorge. It took protests to nix that. Sometimes I wish Tiger Leaping would get 5A to increase its protected status, even though that would jump tickets to over 150rmb.
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.

Yunnan Baiyao sued over toxic ingredients
发布者eblair obviously is a blind zealot regarding chinese traditional medicine. He or she has come to the enraged defense of aconite having totally ignored the that:
1) The lawsuit in the article has yet to be determined in favor or against the Yunnan Baiyao
2) eblair obviously didn't bother to click on the links in the article to discover that Yunnan Baiyao's mainly under attack for faulty seals in Sichuan and not listing aconite as an ingredient in HK. I don't think anyone can argue that faulty seals and mislabeling are not egregious.
Scally presented an informative article. I agree eblair is just pissed off.
