Could you share a bit more about how long or if the dog you brought to US, needed to be quarantined. And if so, where it was held.
I am beginning my 3rd year here, and my daughter really misses having a dog. I have resisted pets because did not think they could go back to US. But your post provides me some hope, since I am not sure how long we are going to be here, but could be awhile. And I would/could never leave a pet behind! Thanks

I had prescription medication mailed to me via USPS from US last May and had no problems receiving it. Though it was patches and not pills or caps. But packets were in small boxes with RX labels attached. A friend just stuffed them into a cardboard mailing envelope and sent them. I think it took about 2-3 weeks, but they showed up no problem like any other normal mailed package. So this was my experience, and I never even thought about it being a potential problem when asking to have it mailed. I guess ignorance can be bliss sometimes.
I would have to agree with Mimane's post above that we too did not care for our visit to Tengchong (and surrounding areas of interest) that much. We also went during Qingming Jie and basically my impression was of an (even by China's new pricey standards) over priced area in the midst of renovations and new construction so as to be able to charge even more in the future.
To date, we have been to a lot of places around Yunnan, and I really was looking forward to Tengchong, but it fell far short of what I was expecting (based on what I had read about), unlike any other trip we have taken.
One exception was the volcano park which was interesting and not overly priced and allowed a fair amount of hiking up to, around and within these extinct cones.
And in response to Danmairen, one now does need to pay the 80 kuai entrance fee to Heshun even if one is staying overnight at one of the guesthouses. But save your money till the construction work there is finished as the tiny alleys are filled with exhaust belching motor vehicles bringing in construction site materials from morning till nite. And unfortunately the prices of most anything there, food to whatever made Lijiang look cheap.
Having said all that, I would like to comment that I thought Chris Horton's article was well written, informative and perhaps had we accompanied him and his group of travellors, we might have seen a different side than we did.
