CMB can be very helpful, if you are patient. Have you visited your branch, or the HQ branch (I think Renmin Zhong Lu #35).
Some of the banking systems here are cumbersome, but the staff know how to frig them. It might take an hour, but some creative solution may well be possible.
I had a problem the other day, a technical issue with a damaged debit card. They actually could not sort out the problem as I had also changed my passport number (new passport). Result, the account was locked. Solution. Open a new account, and transfer all funds to the new account. It took them 20 minutes to work out what to do, and then 2 minutes to do it.

Pain in the butt, but sorted.

If you don't get an answer on here-
Go to a local driving school (cars), should be easy to find, and ask them, or find your local traffic police office, and enquire there.
Alternatively go to the vehicle test centre, a long way out for some, and ask them.

Just a thought

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Local ethnic music

The big shows are pure showbiz/cabaret, with a troupe of professional performers who dress up as any ethnic minority required, and sing accordingly. I hate them. But there are also smaller more 'genuine' shows.

There is a Naxi village about 5km outside Lijiang. There is a Naxi museum and also a group of old men who do nothing but make music and 'smoke'. They are well known and produce CDs as well. But this IS 100% authentic music.
In the adjacent village of Shuhe, there are also local performers who give the daily show.
In Shagrila (forget its real name) there are local restaurants with local diners and local people putting on shows of local music. This is not the usual 'cabaret'.
Just north of Dali is a second lake called XiHu, there are houses built on stilts there. You must pay to go in. They have a visitors centre, and do the usual local performance, but again it is locals doing the local thing.

Whistleblower syndrone is well worth googling to see what it is.
Whistleblower syndrome leads to the crucifiction of the WBs. WB syndrome is well documented, and follows a pattern. And looking at later posts on here, many have fallen into the pattern without realising it.

Shooting the messenger is quicker, and easier than coming to terms with the issue, even for bystanders like us on GoK. And in cases of organisations, it is also cheaper.

Great article.
The place is well worth a visit.

I had the pleasure of visiting last year. The old town is a bit like Dali without the tourists. Food and service are also good in hotels and restaurants, perhaps service ethic influenced by the old confucian culture. We didn't get price gouged either.
The area is also famous for its pottery. Some of it is really nice.
Tuanshan is great and well worth the money. Compared to other Yunnan sites (150+) it is good value too. Tuanshan is largely intact and un-modernised. You can actually see original painted beams with gold leaf, those that are in the shade are still very colorful.

The posh new stations have different gates, but these bullet trains stop at many stations on route, that are not super modern. The trains then stop at regular ungated platforms, however the train stops on a mark, and the passengers are pre-lined up at the appropriate marks on the platforms.

I am glad for the delay. That should mean more time spent constructing the tracks to the standards required, and not just a rush to finish the line asap, with possible associated construction quality issues.

Actually, if you go the the 3.5 website they have some nice recipes there. It is in Italian, but Google chrome translates it.
I will give the recipe a go. It can't be worse than some of the stuff I have been told to eat.

This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.

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.
