Forums > Living in Kunming > Need help with getting Kunming police clearance You will need a copy of the resident visa page of your wifes passport and obviously front page too. Plus, if I remember correctly, the police registration for when she registered in China at the local police station.
They can be a bit bitchy about giving it to you and (in my experience) won't give it to you for any tourist visa periods. Only for student/resident/business visas where they can check with the local police station if you were arrested. At least this is what they told me when I had it done last year...
Forums > Living in Kunming > Need help with getting Kunming police clearance I assume this is the letter of good conduct? I.e. to say she wasn't a criminal in China?
If so, likely Taiwan is treated as a foreign country so you need to hit up the PSB here: www.gokunming.com/[...]

Getting away: Changchong Mountain
发布者Cheers guys, will google earth it first to check it out! When I go and ride a route I will have a look around using a GPS tracking application on my phone so I can tell people if I find some nice tracks. I am a pretty sensible and skilled mountain biker so won't end up skewered by my handlebars down some dead end track, well, it hasn't happend in my 18 years of mountainbiking (5 years of racing!).
My tendency when exploring new routes is to cycle it at a sane speed first, remembering turns and key points for dismounting etc. The next time at medium speed and the next at 3/4 speed, which is about as fast as I dare in areas that could be changed one day to the next!
Can you guys tell me if there are access issues (private property etc) around the area, apart from the military base on the South side of the mountain? This may be a general China question - will I get shot at or arrested if I stray onto some farmland where the farmer doesn't like visitors? Probably a pretty general question, but being new to China it would be good for any local advice. So far when I have been riding up around the resovior areas most people don't take any notice of me and those that do usually give encouraging shouts (well, I think so, my Chinese isn't that good yet!).
Getting away: Changchong Mountain
发布者Just did this ride (the original, will try Daniels update another time!), its pretty good for a training ride, some good extended uphills that keep the heart going for some time. This is the only ride where I have noticed the slight oxygen depletion from the altitude!
Can anyone tell me if there is any good single track off the mountain and how to get to it? There may be some off the various small roads leading off the main route, but I aren't sure where to start looking! Thanks
