Also "spring city" probably refers more to the climate rather than (in past low) level of pollution.
If you must choose between a polluted city with bad climate and a polluted city with better climate...
Since you will work days at home, you don't need to commute to work.
I would recommend to rent in vicinity of decent shopping centers and restaurants.
Along the north-south subway line, Beichen was mentioned (it's close to Metro for grocerices), and two stops south at Baiyun Lu there are also new shopping centers within walking distance and good bus connections to other parts of city.
If you cook yourself, a good wet market in the vicinity would be nice to have. I know two such in Baiyun Lu/Beijing Lu area.
My (Chinese) wife knew about avocados, but had not eaten them until we made guacamole for fajitas last year. She really liked it and now frequently makes guacamole even if not doing tex-mex. She can eat it with potatoes or anything.
And she did pot one seed just for one, it's grown about foot high indoors.
Well, line dancing is apparently also a competitive sport.
No results found.

Kunming one of best cities to live in China
Posted byCoVid experiences possibly affecting this could could of course come from many perspectives.
For example, those who are or have been in urban lock-down, may appreciate the prospect of going out once it is over - opportunities which are perhaps different in Kunming/Yunnan, than somewhere else.
If the survey took place during or after lock-downs in China, people will acknowledge this and it would show in results more strongly than perhaps otherwise. Appreciating what the city or region can offer beside 12h work days and big bucks.
Kunming one of best cities to live in China
Posted by"Survey of Economic Life in China"
If this "economic" is to be taken as in affordability, then at least for me it is a major point.
If I speculate this from local perspective, last I checked the local average salary was below the monthly automatic 5000 RMB tax deduction, so average Kunming resident gets by without paying any income tax - in many other country I would probably feel satisfied if I see the city and society develop even without having to contribute to it myself by other means than my own consumption.
There isn't that much industry here, but the benefits of developing society keep trickling in anyway, and this curve (or imbalance or whatever you'd call it) will ultimately show in this kind of surveys, positively.
It is perhaps same in some more remote places, where some farmers can make a small fortune with modern technology to help them.
Also curious about when this survey was conducted - would CoVid experiences weigh in it, and how?
New strict dog regulations in 36 Kunming areas

Curious how this regulation deals with people (foreigners or Chinese) who may want to move in Kunming and bring their pet dogs with...?
Announcing the new website Destination Lijiang
Posted byI'm curious whether the separate website for Lijiang means less Lijiang-specific content appearing on GoKunming. For me personally it would be double to effort to navigate two websites, which may be why I will not frequent on the Lijiang site.
So basically will the information on the two sites be mirrored so that those who only read GoKunming, may catch all/most of the content about Lijiang as well?
