Forums > Living in Kunming > Electric bicycle ban.. I'm all for better enforcement for cars, but let's face it, the electric bike craziness is out of control. It's not a ban, it's cops at the intersection fining people for taking their whole families on a tiny bike, riding at a young age, running traffic lights and plowing through pedestrian zones. I'm not sure why people are so against that.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Recycling batteries I think it's Wuhua, but don't quote me on that. It's right near the intersection with Ankang Lu (安康路)
Forums > Living in Kunming > Electric bicycle ban.. I hear you there. I think that the whole idea of a "crackdown" is ridiculous in the first place. Instead of concentrating enforcement, say on certain central districts or certain time frames, they should be thinking about how to enforce the traffic laws they already have in place.
On the other hand, I see the traffic chaos as an endearing feature of living here, almost cute, like the Chinglish signs everywhere. Of course, I'm still nostalgic about the bicycle jams from back in the day...
Forums > Living in Kunming > Recycling batteries I'm not sure where they eventually end up, but the local tax bureau on Xichang Lu has a battery receptacle. I think they might be at various other government office buildings as well.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Electric bicycle ban.. The cars are annoying, but they are pulled over and fined with increasing frequency, especially in the city center. The electric bikes, which I think are pretty cool, do cause a lot of problems. Until now, there has been virtually no enforcement, and you often see the electric bikes going the wrong way down the street, driving in pedestrian zones, and causing all kinds of other havoc. It doesn't help much that they are completely silent and most drivers don't turn on their headlights at night. If they don't start policing them better, some official will get annoyed and ban them outright.

In answer to your question, there is as little choreography as possible to show the music and dance as close as can be to its original state.
Around Town: Yunnan Provincial Museum
Posted byVoltaire: Sure you're not reaching a bit there? The whole collection of the old location is being shifted to the new site, and the old facility will now house an already-existing art museum that will now expand its collection.
Political sterility may be an issue with official museums, but I don't see the shifts in locations having any central role in that.
