Well, I'm not saying that they're duty bound to deliver my food for me, but it makes business sense to keep people informed about the situation. Otherwise, when they do have someone there to answer the phones again, a lot of people will have given up on calling them.
Hmm, still no answer. I wonder what's going on? Too bad they can't be bothered to put up a simple announcement on their website. The prolonged silence will just make it harder to get things going again, if that's what they actually plan to do.
Chinese news says there were at least three fires in the mountains yesterday, with the largest two on the peak above bamboo temple and a patch of forest on the western hill.
Yeah, I saw two separate plumes of smoke on the mountains to the west yesterday. I hear that one of the fires was in the forest near the bamboo temple.
I second that
No results found.
Right next to my office, so I eat here pretty often. The place has a nice garden design with lots of outdoor seating for nice days.
A nice menu of Western food with solid brunch choices, fresh fruit juice mixes, and good salads. The burger is also very good.
Excellent Thai food served in a beautiful art deco setting. The bar is also top notch, with great cocktails, whiskys and cigars.
When the weather is good, try to get a table on the rooftop garden, which offers views of the Bird and Flower market.
May be a little pricier than some of the other Thai restaurants in town.
An exciting new gallery space built from an old factory warehouse in the Paoluda Creative Industry Park. Looking forward to seeing what they'll do with it.
A great little place in the middle of a beautiful valley chock full of great climbing spots.
The beds and rooms are very comfortable, though the bathrooms are shared, and of the "eco" variety (a plus as far as I'm concerned).
The owners are very helpful about everything from info on climbing spots to trip planning and getting around the area.
Also, the place is dirt cheap. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Snapshot: Preserving Yunnan woodworking traditions in Jianchuan
Posted by@Ishmael: My impression was that the Bai of Heqing were the builders, making houses in a variety of minority styles all over western Yunnan, and Jianchuan was home to the carpenters who made the best window screens and eaves decorations.
