The last of the tier 2 cities in China to round down is Hefei. There is no fuel surcharge there either. However, in almost every other major city there is a fuel surcharge of 2rmb or so and the habit of rounding down is no longer. Actually for cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the rounding down disappeared a few years ago. However, in Shenzhen, I have seen Chinese people pay with the exact jiao amount. Maybe you should carry around the 1jiao coins C4 likes to give out.

Around Town: Finding solitude in the middle of the city
发布者10m of green space per might be a lot as the total implies at least 70,000,000 sqm of park space. They'd have to included chenggong area parks to hit that number.
Around Town: Finding solitude in the middle of the city
发布者Nice little spot. I've stumbled across a few of these xiaoqu parks, and they do seem to be some kind of uni or pension housing. The pleasure of going from city concrete noise to a peaceful little park is always pure joy.
Interview: Tracking Kunming's trash with Adam Liebman
发布者Excellent interview. Does anyone know how I pay for my garbage collection? I pay a monthly wuguan fee, but don't assume it covers the city guy dumping the bins into his cart. Maybe the xiaoqu is levied a waste fee?

Lijiang observatory helps unravel mysteries of quantum communication
发布者Just to be clear, the entanglement experiments are a few years old now, and originally done by other countries/organizations. China has just moved the envelope on how far, which is still a nice achievement.
