On the actual topic, Yunnan isn't immune if the Thais and Burmese go overboard on the fires or the winds blow the right way. But so far this year it's not bad. Thankfully, we are far from Indonesia.
Chinese farmers burn too, but usually not a big problem unless you happen to cycle through lots of farmland.
Air in Kunming is good right now, so Dali should be too.
Amazon now ranks higher in spell checker than amazing.
Uh, yes they do. Plenty, throughout all China. They are even considering opening some overseas. Why these two old myths persist, I dont know. They arent the cheapest anymore, huawei is. And the online only was done long ago, though the xiaomi corporate stores will tell you to order online if they are out of stock or for new releases like their TV box.
They are two and four years old! I'd rather as the adult find a way to get rid of those incredibly insensitive Chinese. Why have to try to change a nice child into a tantrum kid, just so you don't offend some totally rude Chinese adult.
Alien, unless you are talking from experience or real life examples where that method worked and what key phrase was used, save your existential comments for threads where someone's kids aren't involved.

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.
Green Lake to get wetter, brighter, noisier

Kunming institute decodes yak DNA
发布者Kunming is actually does a lot of cutting edge plant and animal research given it's access to Yunnan's biodiversity. Even neighboring countries send researchers to the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Kunming.
I didn't know till someone showed me, but Kunming houses the second largest seed bank in the world, with an additional focus on preserving animal genetic material also.
