5000 rmb is a lot for a peasant, especially if they've lost their farmland, too.
I've lived in Kunming for 10 years and I hope to live here into the far future. I can find employment here without too much trouble. I have many friends here. I like the laid-back character to KM life. I've lived in other parts of China and they have their virtues, but I prefer to live here. (Why I prefer to live in China is another and longer story.)
Many of those complaining come from relatively comfortable well-to-do families in the US, etc., and are not used to frustration.
Anyone been there? Is it open for business? How do I get there? Is it close to the Guandu subway stop?
I presume the listings in GoKunming under Shangri La are no longer reliable?
No results found.
I've stayed here many times over the years and been very satisfied. Central location, comfortable rooms, reasonable prices. Some might mind the noise from the Bad Monkey Bar across the street, but I've always been able to sleep. The staff is very helpful with bus tickets, excursion tickets and the like.
Does anyone know if this is still a going concern? Or destroyed by the fire?
One of my favorite places in Jing Hong! It's my landmark, the center of the hotel, restaurant, bike, etc., area. I discovered dark Beer Lao there!
But getting to the S. bus station takes another hour....

Kunmingers increasingly concerned about environment
Posted byWould that all the petrol-powered cars would be replaced by electric scooters or electric cars! An old-fashioned electric trolley system would be good, too.
