My dad has 4 days to spare on his China business trip to spend in Kunming. Need to find some things to do while still spending each night in the city. Obviously Shilin, I'm also thinking Bamboo Temple...what else is good?
I've heard there is a poker game at Laowo bar but I don't know anyone who has actually been to it. Can anyone tell me what time it's at and what stakes? Thanks
Thank you for this post! I haven't been in Kunming very long so I have nothing to contribute, but I'd like to bump it up in case someone else does.
What are your favorite foods purchasable in stores here that require little to no preparation time?
I am a USA citizen trying to find the most affordable way to live in Kunming with the tourist visa. Is it possible to legally get a long term apartment contract with the tourist visa? I intend to stay at the same place for at least 6 months, but I will need to do a visa run. At the end of February I can convert the tourist visa to a student visa, since that is when the semester begins. But I want to move to Kunming at the beginning of November. Is this possible?
No results found.
New menu, prices of many of my favorite dishes increased 25%+. Salvador's used to unambiguously be the best value for western food in town, now while still an excellent place, I'll be eating there somewhat less due to the price increases.
Very delicious, though a bit pricey (perhaps 45-60 per person depending on how much meat you want). Considering it's all top-notch organic ingredients, I still think it's a 5 stars in value.
Yes, I remember this place from a trip a few months ago, tried going 3 times, closed every time.
I'm reviewing the pizzas which are the only items on the menu I've tried. The pizzas are the best in Kunming hands down. I go to this restaurant on Fridays for the half price pizza which is an excellent deal. Food usually arrives slow at this time because the restaurant can get overwhelmed with customers, but the wait is well worth it.
There is one problem with this restaurant, and that is its location. It's not around anything else and there's no convenient bus from the Cui Hu area. So it's 35 minutes of brisk walking each way when I want to visit. Only the weekly pizza pizza deal is enough to motivate me. If Slice of Heaven was on Wenlin Jie I would probably visit 2-3 times a week.
This place has fantastic ratings...but I can't find it! I'm pretty sure I was on the right street but it looked like it was just residential area on the south end of Tianjundian Xiang, no restaurant...there was a gate with a guard and I didn't go any farther than that, maybe I was supposed to? None of the buildings on this street had address numbers that I could see.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
Posted byI hate almost all website layout overhauls at first, so I give myself time to adjust. But the new GoKunming layout has not grown on me. There's too much scrolling involved when using a laptop. It's difficult to find the search bar because most pages don't contain it. Overall, the compact, functional layout we had before was quite nice and didn't need to be changed.
China, US discuss human rights in Kunming
Posted by"Should only countries with perfect human right records be allowed to discuss other countries human rights situation?"
No, but only countries that look like they're trying. U.S. fails in that regard. Other countries, e.g. Switzerland and Denmark have the requisite integrity to engage in dialogue.
