Forums > Living in Kunming > Best Gyms in Kunming?

Thanks for the heads up guys. I realised that Hao Heng gym was near where i am living so I walked up and had a look round. Price was 1600 for the year and there were lots of running machines and fixed weight machines. Very quiet when I went in at 2pm. Lots of classes too, which I know the misses will like. They do have 7 gyms in Kunming which is good.

However we are only staying Yuantong street area for another week or so while we search for a more family friendly area to live Beichen area just outside the 2nd ring road NE side.

Interestingly, we are working quite close to the Yunnan University so I will go for a visit as this can get me going.

Come to think of it, maybe a pay as you go gym might be perfect until I sort out my new flat later this month.

Thanks dtedheshi . We were in the electronics area today so we had a look. Saw the mi3 for 1699. Just read some reviews of it, and it is a impressive piece of kit for the price.

There are so many mobile phone shops in the area we were in, that I wonder how much haggling you could do on the price. I assume they are selling the 16gb version.

cheers.

Hi,

The misses and me are looking at updating our Android phones and think it will be best to purchase outright rather than on a contract is we will be here for 12 months.

Found a big electronics shop at corner of Qingnian rd and Renmin middle road that had very good choice. My experience has been that large flash stores are more expensive than other resellers of phones.

Huawei g630 for a 1000 which looks like a pretty decent, but not too expensive phone for the misses. Not sure if its worth buying online. If so, where is a reliable shop to order from?

Not sure about how to convert from chinese language to English. I know the android OS can swap languages.

Would love to get a oneplus one phone but now they are by invite most of the time.

Noticed when my htc one s phone got a sim card in, it only shows 2G not 3G... doh

Before arriving in China, I had read a lot of articles and news stories about China investing heavily in green tech. I was very surprised to see no solar panels or wind turbines in Kunming. Only when I went to Dali did I see street lights power by wind and sun. A missed opportunity.
