Forums > Travel Yunnan > Tibetan Visas

I would call a hostel in Chengdu for updates. That's the hotbed/gateway for Tibet travel, so they usually have latest info.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Golden Week Travel

Dali and Lijiang will be super crowded, sold out, or triple room prices during Golden week. Kunming city areas will actually be quiet as everyone is getting out of the city, but unless you've been in China a while, you will be itching to get out too. I think Peter99 route looks decent as there is train to jianshui to avoid roads and Vietnam Chinese tourism numbers have dropped a lot after those riots.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Long range e-bike?

Kunming is a tier2 city, no need to worry about bans on ebike for a while. Get old or new depending on what you prefer. Just buy it from a big shop that looks like it will be in biz for another year, so if any problems, you can go back and hassle them. Also, at the end of the day, the absolute worst case scenario for a used ebike with a fake fapiao would be confiscate it, and even that's going to be pretty rare. Furthermore, even if that very rare event should happen, what have you lost, 1500rmb? We're not talking motorcycles where plates and registration and license really matter and you could get deported in addition to confiscation. The actual biggest issues with ebike are theft and getting hurt in an accident since 72v you'll no doubt go fast enough to do serious damage and not just scrapes and bruises if you accident/wreck.

Regarding the roads, my impression was the opposite. I left Vientiane for VV via bus and found the road ok. From VV to Luang Prabang the road was quite miserable.

Nothing better than floating down the river with some of your friends; however, avoid the bar with the giant concrete slide. A Swiss guy drowned last year after using the slide, and it's cause innumerable other injuries to party-goers. Also, the tube doesn't make up for not being a good swimmer.

Very happy that poor kids are getting a free meal at school...Very sad they are forced to eat spoiled food at times.

I think the children should be given 3rmb food vouchers to be spent with the local chefs and vendors outside the school. No more troubles for the schools to operate a kitchen, and the children can decide with their pocketbook (aka vouchers) which vendors food tastes best. If no food vendors can make decent food for 3rmb per child, then the gov't knows why the schools are forced to use rotten stuff at times.

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.
