Hello, It's nice that there are some good places where to run in Kunming ;) I'll arrive in Kunming late august. I will leave in Yunnan university residence (I think it's near green lake park). I'll be glad to jog with some people interested in. Cheers!
For those that have tried Chris' suggestion, crossing Linyu Lu at the moment is pretty easy - on the Western side of the river heading north, go down the steps leading to the river on the North side of the indoor badminton courts. Head north and you will get to a walled off end to the trail that stops just before the bridge. You can easily jump over the wall however and go UNDER the bridge. At the moment there isn't much water flowing down the river, this won't be possible soon if it rains more though.
Usually with this route I run up one side of the river and down the other. At some points there is construction on the east side of the river though which makes for dusty roads, so I swap to the already run side. You can easily do 10km with 90% along beautiful riverside footpaths with lots of trees if you live in the north!
This thread has derailled. What might be a useful thread for the runners in town has been ruined by this irrelevant debate. I have emailed management and asked for all off topic posts to be deleted (including this one) in order to restore the thread.
Please keep things on topic. If you wish to continue your discussion, please do so by starting a separate thread.
Thanks.

Dear all. Please note that Kunming has its own Hash House Harriers Chapter. For more information on run details please visit kunminghashhouseharriers.yolasite.com. Next run is Sunday May 19th. oN oN!
Thanks roomboy, the reason many of us don't attend HHH (having spoken to a few who were thinking about it), is that we don't like the drinking aspect of it and for me the timing isn't fabulous (I prefer early morning so I have the rest of the day) ...
A 23-kilometer running and cycling path around the outer banks of Dianchi greenpath has been built, dubbed the 滇池绿道环草海, it's located around the ecological wetland and Caohai area district.
