What is lacking are safe roads/lanes for Kunming runners. Dawn & dusk Green Lake joggers may attest.

Lets hope the upcoming "Urban re-greening effort" will address this problem:

Each to his own.

High school students in certain school districts in the U.S. are required to pass swimming exams prior to graduation. In many states, physical education classes are required in junior high.

Where we draw the line of bodily jurisdiction in academia is up for debate.

Notwithstanding, some Yunnan University students may take up this healthy lifestyle for their lifelong benefit.

I too hope the local district government accepts the Flying Tigers Research Institute preservation proposal, albeit the history of this Sino-US alliance gravitated towards the respective air forces of the U.S. and the KMT of China.

Praiseworthy historical reporting by Patrick Scally.

Tomorrow (August 29th) at 10am Line 3 and Line 6 will commence public trial runs. Line 6 to Airport will charge 8 yuan.

@Philou You're right, a typo. It ought to be called "胜利堂"... good research.

The actual station ought to be just north of Renming Zhong Lu. behind that modernistic Wuhua People's Government Building. Said empty lot under KRT construction used to be a school.

Across the Renming Zhong Lu. street to the South is the actual "胜利堂" monument. The south gate is known for selling puppies and kittens.

A garden landscaped park along Renming Zhong Lu has recently completed renovation, with a roundabout stone paved road connecting to Kunming 正义 Old Street, which is also being revamped in hopes of one day rivaling LiJiang's old street.

Nice to see Kunming spending money in realizing their 20-year goal.
