I did an extremely slow rise the other day (20 hrs) and the bread tasted magnificent.
I also found whole wheat flour in the Walmart on the south side of Dongfeng Dong Lu, a brand called Snowfood has it. There are also all kinds of Angel yeast and baking supplies. No more need to go to Metro and mess with those temporary cards.

I think I eat nearly every meal in Yunnan with great appetite, so let me give you an inverse answer: I seriously dislike everything that still has tiny bones in it, intestines and I'm not a big fan of the fish root or excess seaweed either.
It's no more harmful to foreigners' image than rowdy drinking at sal's, pissing in DJ booths at Kundu or shouting abuse at Chinese.
I've compiled a map with 1-day tours out of Kunming. They're more long-distance and not necessarily mountain bike routes. You can click either route and get ample information such as elevation gain, max elev, distance and some warnings and tips.
Hope you'll enjoy.
If you want to go to Shadian, I think a bus from Yuxi to Gejiu or Jianshui is the best option, then switch to a local, frequent bus to Shadian. Nice mosque there.
I'm not sure whether buses to Kaiyuan will stop in Shadian, but again, you could switch to a local bus from Kaiyuan.
Also, there are now trains to Yuxi.
No results found.
On my cycling tour through Yunnan into South-East-Asia, I've stopped regularly at Mei Mei for a bit and a lot of drinks.
The service is friendly, the location is great and the prices are reasonable. I'm over the moon about their brownies (served with ice cream) and coffee. Though I've not had everything on the menu, I was pretty impressed with the dishes I ordered.
Don't bother with Mekong café. Mei Mei is as good a place to rest, at night or in the afternoon and has the better food.
This was my first stop in Jinghong when I was cycling down south. I was hungry and in need of calories, so I ordered up the biggest burger on the menu: the imperial with added cheese.
I was sorely disappointed to see the sad pile of gooey beef and bread arrive, covered in half-melted cheese and not much bigger than two McDonald's cheeseburgers stacked on top of each other.
The best thing about this place are tourist informations, for everything else I suggest Meimei nextdoor or Wangtianshu a bit further in town.
Good noodles (well perhaps most Chinese places can pull off a Chinese dish properly). Excellent selection of beer, including my favourite Orval. Beer is chilled to the right temperature indicated on the label. Friendly and good-smiling staff. Fair-priced. Terrace in the sun.
Only complaint? Not enough matching glasses to serve those delicious beers in. See, if that's the only complaint, it's a 5-star review!
Why can't other places be as good?
If I go back, it won't be for the lazy service or the bland spaghetti bolognese. The cosiness and selection of beers could and the game aspect will be the only reasons to go back. Really some places should just try ro be what they are: cafés, not restaurants.
Though happy with the friendly service, I'm not too impressed with the food quality vs. price ratio. Also, the vietnamese coffee comes without condenses milk as it would be served in Vietnam or next door, in vintage.

Posted byThanks for the info, I'll definitely go and pay it a visit. However with this kind of articles I've come to expect information such as opening hours. Here they are now:
Tuesday to Sunday from 9 to 17h, but they stop admitting visitors from 16:30.
Closed on Mondays (except for bank holidays).

Posted byMight go, might go, but the whole accommodation insecurity bothers me. Can I pitch my own tent down? Is there parking if you come with a private vehicle?
Finally I'll let the weather decide. Summer's not known for being kind.

Posted bysounds like some sort of pump is in order. Or better agricultural practices to hedge against the inevitable consequences of climate change, to help mitigate it and to protect the highlands that are so essential to our water.

Posted byFutures trading was invented as a hedge for those producing the resources. E.g. as a rubber farmer, you would be guaranteed a price for your rubber if you had a future contract with a buyer. The buyer bets that not only does he obtain the product, but he also gets it for the price he was willing to pay and is in modern times of course betting that the market price will be higher than what the future contract stipulates.
