Forums > Travel Yunnan > Rent an RV I have seen rental RVs parked along Haigeng Daba. Next time I see one I will photo the company logo and send to you. I thing one had Chongqing number plates. You could maybe take the train to Chongqing to collect.
I have also seen RVs parked by the lake management building at the end of Haigeng Park on the corner of Xingti Lu and Hubin Lu. I am not sure if this is sales or rental or both.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Short Backpacking Trips Near Kunming We did something like this with our students a couple of years ago. I was part of an education program attached to a school. We were later informed by the school authorities that it is illegal to take school students on overnight trips. You might want to check this out.
Having said that, there is a lot of field-craft you can do in a long day. Even erecting a tent can provide an engineering type challenge.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Pool/Snooker Halls in Kunming There was a pool table in O'Reilly's pub on Beichen walking street. But I am not sure of opening hours.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Solar Charger JD is probably safest. Some of the things that you buy cheaper may not be fully functional and have faulty cells. Like LED floodlights the cheap ones often have faulty cells, but you would never know unless you know what to look for, because things that fail QC are just offloaded at the big markets and then trickle down. They usually trickle down to the small shops and small suppliers. Buying from flagship stores via JD or TMall is something I would recommend.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Solar Charger There are loads on Taobao. s.taobao.com/[...] Prices vary a lot, and so do the power outputs. There are many folding portable sets, but these are pretty large when folded out. You need to find out the Wattage you will require to charge your tablet, I am sure there is a Google answer somewhere out there.
I would also do a search of JD.com, the consumer feedback might also be a bit more useful on JD.
Kunming educator finalist for Global Teacher Prize
发布者Such policies do go wrong. A couple of years ago, the UK head of education said something along the lines of, "Why are we spending 80% or our resources trying to pull up the 20% of students who will never achieve anything much, at the expense of the 20% who could go on to achieve a lot more". He was castigated for it, but I have to say that I tend to agree with him.
We can have centers of excellence that are based on merit, and not just on the ability to pay.
Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
发布者@Philou, I saw these on the local news yesterday. Either K6 or Yunnan TV (Channel 23 and 17 on the old cable box). My Chinese is terrible, but it looks like they have penalties for not return.
Note, for those who are interested, the story will probably be on again today as they local news cycles news a lot (pun intended).
When you compare the city bikes, with the need for collection and return to designated depots, and penalties, this seems a much less user friendly option than the ride and leave models currently out there.
Here is another question, I ride one of the city's hire bikes, and when I get to the depot, there are no more available parking slots for me to deposit the bike. Then what?
Another thing, the bikes have big wheel guards (cover half the wheels) which would allow for advertising space.
Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
发布者If you are interested in opting in to one of these schemes, the following may help you make a choice.
I saw, on the Yunnan news today, a news story from one of the poorer ends of town. Lots of children riding around on misappropriated OFO bikes. The locks had been removed or otherwise disabled.
OFO also have tubed tires (can puncture), and the saddles can easily be removed (because it has a quick release toggle so that it can be easily raised).
Mobike I have seen have solid tires.
I have looked at the blue bikes and Mobike and I am not sure that the saddle can be removed.
Mobike also can show you where available bikes are on the app. I was told that others cannot do that, although I stand to be corrected.
The point I am making is that OFO are the company most likely to fold first, and cause you to lose your deposit.
Apple opens official flagship store in Kunming
发布者And let us not forget that the old Apple stores in Kunming were not prestigious stores but fake store fronts, selling original Apple Macs and iPhones. However, the accessories may not have been genuine in the fake store. Fake goods would have been entered into stock by the owner, would be my guess.

发布者Extended new report on Yunnan TV (channel 16or17) showing scores of bikes just dumped in different locations around Kunming.
