One location to get this health check for flights is the vet on the road that extends from Wenlin Jie past the cinema.

Go along LongXiang jie until the road curves to the right and you can see the passover, at that point you will see a building on the left side of the road with a alley leading off the road. The vet is on the second floor. They also do Kunming Dog permits.

You may have to go a few times,,as it seems not all the people are working there all the time,,typical government officials.

This chemist must be one of the best in Kunming. Not only does it have a wide range of medicine it now also has a English Chinese medicine dictionary at the back counter! Ten points Yunnan Baiyao.

DIDI Da Che is an easy APP to use for getting taxis. You can elect to give a tip but only if taxi drivers are busy and not replying. You can also book a taxi to certain places from your selected pickup point. Once you select the driver that replies to your request for booking s/he will call you to confirm details. You pay the driver (if using DIDI) the money, not through a 3rd party banking system. The App is in Chinese.

Buy an apartment is no problem as a foreigner, slightly harder to sell from a red tape point of view.

Renting your own apartment to others is also no problem.

These days (In the past it was OK) Laowai getting home loans in Kunming is almost impossible, probably impossible.

A friend who has been married to a local just got his "green card" expect the application, once accepted by the local PSB for transfer to Beijjing PSB to take at least a year for processing.

As more people are eligible for these long term visas the processing time will get longer as there are only a few cops working on these cases in Beijing.
