I have BoA and regularly use CCB for cash withdrawal. To the best of my knowledge, there is an initial (I think 5USD) foreign withdrawal fee that is waived, but after that you still must pay the 3% transaction fee. TBH I'm pretty disappointed with BoA's policies abroad, will likely switch cards when I go back to the states.

Apparently there was some kind of mafan at the metro stations today causing huge queue lines...anyone know what that was about and/or if it's going to continue?

Forums > Living in Kunming > Options for residence permit extension

I've heard that sometimes companies can provide a one-month temporary extension to residence permit after expiry. Anyone know anything about this? Asking bc after obtaining my residence permit, I no longer have blank pages in my passport, so can't renew it...too much trouble to get a new passport as the number would change--chain reaction requiring me to reapply for work visa etc all over again.

(Please note: I know that you can renew residence permit up to two times for a year, but am asking for this specific scenario, thanks in advance!)

Visited the Kunming Waterfall Park yesterday and was fairly impressed-beautiful views, clean & upkept grounds, lots to see & people watch. Update from the earlier gokunming article profile: the viewing bridge and path behind the waterfall are both now open and definitely enhance the experience. Bring an umbrella unless you want to get soaked going behind the waterfall.

To get there, I took metro line 2 to 司家营 and bus #Z65 to 天宇澜山小区. The 司家营 bus stop is almost directly outside exit B.

Tip: the #Z65 bus runs in a loop to and from the waterfall park, so on the return trip you'll catch the same Z65 bus at the same stops you departed from. Make sure the return bus shows that it's headed back to 司家营 (the characters will show on the ticker outside the bus, or you can ask);occasionally a Z65 bus will drive a different return route through residential.
