Forums > Living in Kunming > Is walking from Haigeng Park area to Xi Shan possible?

Haigeng itself has some trails on the backside of the interior pond and along the the lake to the south gate (more like east, but google says south). 10rmb entrance fee, trails all flat. Probably enjoyable just once due to fee and Dianchi sucking more than usual.

At the south gate, you have Xingti Rd heading north, which has a pleasant tree lined sidewalk. There is also a sports complex just a little further east of the south gate. Has a track and lots of soccer fields. Free to enter; not sure about fee/eligibility to run on track. The complex itself is large enough to run around in, but all flat.

People tend to forget, you can plug straight into the modem itself with ethernet. Not an ideal solution for security and sharing, but it will let you use the internet. It might be a test you should do anyways, so you can determine if the main culprit is the modem or router. Another thing to do would be to try different or new ethernet cables, especially if your just using one that came with something.

Also, you might want to check if your paid up with China Telecom. The day your rmb runs out is the day they shut you off.

Supposedly, a 100rmb or more ulock that has those keys that look like a sharp spear with 4 edges are the best you can get. It won't be enough, so maybe carry two of those. Add a 1/8 inch thick steel chain with a padlock that's the same quality as those ulocks to also lock your bike to a steel post.

Or alternatively, park your bike in only shopping centers that have underground parking. It costs more, but your bike isn't in view outside for thieves to ogle, and the guard/cashier sits at the only entrance/exit for the bike park area. The Carrefour in Nanpingjie has an underground bike park. Shuncheng has underground bike parking also.

Very tragic event. But thanks for the article and background info. I didn't realize there were border ferries and Burmese kids would daily use them to go to school in China.

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.

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.
