I understand the point. But as I was walking around last night I passed a net bar and saw the usual crowd playing computer games on Chun Jie. Shouldn't you honor your parents and family on this one holiday and stay home, rather than run away to the net bar. Stay away from World of Warcraft at least once in a while!!!

Just as a point of clarification- the Prague Cafe in the north is now closed and will be until the 21st. Samoana, Wicker Basket, and Silver Spoon in Beichen will also remain closed through the holiday.

Hello Puppies!

Nice photo.

the light rail line construction is coming along fast over there (caiyun bei lu), with a lot of elevated platform in place, but no rails yet. the new Luosiwan market is right next to the line. the south bus station (currently a temporary structure) is over there too.

New light rail? Sort of an El? I'll believe it when I see it. More highways for cars are the most apparent priority.

always amused to see the word "solicitor" used by a non-British English speaker. totally different meaning.

Flew over it the other day coming in from Thailand. Doesn't appear to be anywhere near completion. Unfinished runways, buildings, support roads, etc. On the other hand, it does appear to be a massive airport.It will be nice when completed to be able to take direct flights to EU and the States as well as the rest of Asia.

Good info. Bear in mind that if you stay up there for sunset and then come down at night that there are large construction trucks using the road that goes up there. A little dangerous and I arrived back down totally covered in dust as the trucks kick up clouds of dirt.

Like Sajeev, I've searched high and lo for any hint about when the new airport is likely to open and can't find anything. I'd really like to know also:)

MUHAHAHAMUHAHAHAMUHAHAHAMUHAHAHA!!!

Nice place to get out of the city! Anyone would be insterested in going hiking together next Saturday? Email me at amelielinc@gmail.com.

There used to be a funny rock at the top with "I love you" painted in white on it, facing the Kunming view... Decided to hike this mountain in 2006 because it was the coolest thing visible from our 6th floor living room window. Good decision. No maps just following the mountain and general direction instinct. Awesome place!

Anyone ever skiied or done a winter hike here? Seems super awesome. Did lots of random hiking (no trails) when I was there and it was super fun. Want to go back so much!

very good finding, and thanks for the sharing!
