I want to have a document sent to me, secure and fast. From UK to Kunming.
Is there an overseas courier that provides tracking all the way into China, and can provide fast services?
Which couriers will collect from domestic addresses in UK?
From the little that I have seen, most minority people identify with their village/valley more than the minority itself.
There are also a couple of anthropologists that post on here occasionally. One is Dr Brendan Galipeau, articles here www.gokunming.com/en/blog/poster/80/.
Another well traveled anthropologist is Jim Goodman, who would make a very good gatekeeper, if he is willing to help. He has been a prolific writer for many years www.gokunming.com/en/blog/poster/66/
I would try contacting these guys first if you can. They will be able to tell you of the advantages and pitfalls of going (or not going) through official channels to reach people.
Ref. Dianchi. There is the old road that runs next to, and sometimes crosses under, the toll road. The problem is the heavy traffic that wants to avoid the toll. You can see the lake, a lot of the time, but you are not really close to it.
Fuxian lake does have a road all of the way around, but the west side is quite hilly and there is a lot of traffic N of Niumocun (about 1/3 the way up), as it joins the main road. After that there are only a couple of opportunities to move onto small roads closer to the lake, and even then only a few KM at a time.
From the North side the roads are not bad, then head down the east side, a couple of big hills, but the biggest one comes first. This is a small road, very scenic for most of the way until you get to the south and hit the farmland on the floodplain.
If it was me, and I wanted a long ride, I would go down then back up the east side. Lots of places to stop and lunch around Haikou (another village with the same name).
Back on topic. The local business can make their feelings known this way. But in the long run, the government knows that these business owners are ultimately hurting themselves more. It is a catch 22 situation.
Property taxes would be easy to enforce, as there is a registered owner(s), and may help get rid of a lot of zombie properties. We know a guy who owns over 30 properties, well at least his company does. All of these properties are empty. Companies have these 'assets' on the books often at optimistic values. A company owns a house where we are. They want about 30% over market value for it, only then will they sell.
People may think, 'Zombie property, so what?'. If an area has low occupancy, no small businesses can flourish, and the local economy can be in a downward spiral.
If people/companies have to pay tax on empty property it becomes a liability as well as an asset. It is also possible to charge a higher levy on empty property, if a government chooses to do so. They are talking about doing this in London.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
