Forums > Living in Kunming > Hula-Hooping and grassy parks.

I find it easier to find grassy areas on university campuses rather than parks. Yunnan University is probably the grassiest. There is plenty of space inside the old military academy on the west edge of Green Lake Park, but I'm not sure how grassy it is these days.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Why is the "Missionaries" thread locked?

Sorry to disappoint the conspiracy theorists, but we locked it for the same reason we've lock other threads - ad hominem attacks. To quote Danmairen in the thread in question:

"Tanfei: Stop using words like "kaleidoscopic". It makes you sound gay and makes my eyes rain. Your scooter sucks. :)"

Having comments such as this in our forum section is frankly embarrassing.

We're happy to provide a platform for people to have intelligent discussions about any topic, but once people start calling each other names we lock it.

Feel free to talk about whatever you want here, all we ask is that you behave like adults. If you're looking to flame each other there are plenty of other websites where you can do that.

@Danmairen: Thanks for the kind words. Regarding CQ's population, you are correct. I leave out terms such as "municipality" or "prefecture-level city" when I feel their omission will not confuse readers.

@Ocean: More cars on the road is fine for me, as long as the sidewalks aren't full of electric bikes. Definitely not trying to "hang a goat's head and sell dog meat" but I did genuinely enjoy the Chongqingness of Chongqing. That said, I was certainly pleased to be back in Kunming afterward.

Congratulations to GoKunming reader Michael Holmes, who is the winner of the Pullman Lijiang getaway.

Michael is studying bees at Yunnan Agricultural University, his harrowing tales of bee attacks and his dedication to scientific pursuits warmed our cold, cold hearts.

Of the more than 80 entries we received, there were several that would have won - had they sent their phone numbers as instructed in the giveaway rules.

Thanks to everyone who entered, we wish we had more vouchers to give away this time, but we're planning on more giveaways in the future, so watch this space.

Four stars for a great restaurant with friendly staff.

I give Tusheng Shiguan a fifth star for its goal of promoting environmentally sound food production.

My favorite Tengchong-style restaurant in Kunming. Their ersi and erkuai are trucked over from Tengchong and are the real deal — Kunming ersi and erkuai do not compare.

The restaurant itself is a bit jumbled, but there are a couple of tables outside in the courtyard that are nice to sit at when the weather's pleasant.

Don't believe them when they say they don't have lufu.

Tom and Jiajia have been baking up a storm lately. Thanks to them I have delicious sourdough bread to toast on the space heater in the office.

The Bircher muesli is probably the healthiest and most delicious breakfast around.

Pound for pound, one of the best little Western restaurants in China. 佳佳万岁！

Just had gnocchi in mushroom sauce and a glass of wine for dinner on the balcony in mid-January. Awesome.
