Warning!!! Do not be easily convinced that this is a good place to work at. The owner employs his son as manager of this franchise in Kunming. He is profit driven to the point of delivering a sub standard English language education and at the expense of providing a secure working environment. Manipulation of curriculum, working hours and contracts keeps parents, students and teachers uninformed and generally feeling insecure. Low wages for teaching assistants and questionable moral approaches to their employment doesn't lead to a comfortable working environment. There is much better on offer in Kunming.

There is a bus that goes to Anning Hot Springs from the Xiao Ximen bus station. from its terminus you can catch a smaller bus to Qinglong Xia that runs between Anning and Fumin along the river valley.

I would like to put together an informative guide for things to see and do within a 1 km radius of each subway stop on the Kunming Metro. Any help would be much appreciated. What is there to see and do near your subway stop?
