Forums > Travel Yunnan > New Airport Hotels

There are no hotels in the airport or anywhere near it. The building that's being built nearby that looks like a hotel is months away from completion.

The best option for a morning flight is to stay at a hotel near one of the shuttle bus departure points. I didn't confirm, but this article states a 5:00am first departure. I would really confirm this before hand.

Another option is to stay in a hotel you are familiar with and hire one of the car services that advertises on GoKunming.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > beihai or sanya?

I would take Sanya over Beihai for beaches. But relaxing it may not be.

I would spend a little more and fly to Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam. China beach tourism is still not up to par.

Damn, I thought the title was Tonight's "Kungfu" fight. Way to disappoint crazy.laowai.

Oh yeah, what did your western or traditional girl think of the fight?

Forums > Food & Drink > where to buy good red wine

The Walmart on the SW corner of Remin and Huancheng, just remodeled their wine display, and has a decent selection of foreign wines for any Walmart I have ever been too. There was a 298rmb bottle of Chilean Pinot Noir that looked very good. They also had an 18rmb bottle of Spanish red from La Mancha. Didn't buy either, so let me know if you try them.

There are two Walmarts on that intersection, so make sure you hit the SW corner one. Not recommending this over Metro, but maybe closer for some people.

Forums > Food & Drink > Non Asian Barbeque

I know of Sandra's, a Brazilian barbeque place, and Phil's homemade sausages.

Anything else in Kunming that qualifies or tastes similar to western barbeque?

*Not looking for Chinese shao kao, the Muslim goat sticks, Korean barbeque, or Japanese teppanyaki*

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.

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.
