Forums > Living in Kunming > GoKunming new features and functionality But that's the whole problem @livingichina, GoKunming was the best game in town but there just seems to be no motivation to return to that now.
WeChat groups don't provide one central hub of information which this website and its various accounts used to provide.
It's also not just about information for events and such but also good English language news and updates as well as cultural/travel writing which was quite rich for many many years.
Forums > Living in Kunming > GoKunming new features and functionality Almost a year now since there was supposed to be more newly published content. Will this still ever happen again?
Forums > Living in Kunming > COVID 19 vaccine for foreigners @ ja yi this goes with my thread a little while back about GoKunming rarely publishing any articles or news anymore.
Last year at the start of the pandemic they were great with updates and communicating everything going on, now there's almost nothing ever published or written about anything.
This aspect of the website has gone downhill considerably.
Forums > Living in Kunming > What happened to GoKunming articles? @DanDare I knew about Patrick leaving but didn't know that Vera also left more recently.
I guess with borders still closed maybe it's harder finding anyone to take up the job?
Hope they do eventually find someone since as Ocean mentioned articles were always a major highlight of the website since way back when Chris and and Matthew were running things. GoKM admins, any updates on the status of things?
Forums > Living in Kunming > What happened to GoKunming articles? GoKunming used to regularly publish several articles per week on happenings around the city, travel, life in Yunnan etc?
What happened?
Now's it's no more than a few per month?
Why no coverage for instance regarding the migrant elephant herd?
The recent earthquake in Dali?
This aspect of the website has really declined.
Yunnan air routes a hot commodity
Posted byUnited has already announced direct service from Chengdu to the US via San Francisco to begin this spring; it would be great to see Kunming added as a non-stop US destination soon as well!
Changshui once again closed by fog
Posted byI think you're right on joshwa. There are plenty of airports in the US with chronic heavy fog like SFO that can handle it because they have the equipment to do so. It will often cause many delays and some cancellations because the number of runways in use is decreased, but it will never lead to the cancellation of all flights at the airport. I even lived in Eugene Oregon for four years which get's really bad fog in the winter and when I first moved there flights would often get diverted to Portland if it was heavy, but during my time there they installed new equipment equivalent to that in Portland and Seattle and the diversions more or less never happen now. Typical of China to spend billions on their fourth biggest airport and then not even install the most up date technology.

Interview: Economic ecologist Yi Zhuangfang
Posted byGreat interview Patrick, thanks!
It's really quite interesting how much the issues she has been looking at in the south with rubber run parallel with the agricultural and economic changes in the northwest with grapes where I have been working.
Shangri-la hit by 5.9 earthquake
Posted bySpoke with friends in Shangri-La/Zhongdian today and the town/city itself was not affected other than people there being able to feel the tremor, wich they reported was not that bad. Travel to Zhongdian itself should not be an issue though travel further north to Deqin might not be advised since this would take one right through the epicenter in Benzilan.
