"4 hour wait, #46th in line.."

I'd argue that's quality care. The longer the wait, the more meticulous doctors are with their patients.

Docs w/ high patient demands are usually reserved for specialized head physicians (主任) of a department. Sought after chiefs could amass well over 100 per afternoon.

Little wait time = rushed, or inexperienced doctors with low rep. few want to see.

Yet it's interesting CNN survives the long winter despite being most critical and vocal in protest coverage.

Some municipalities have stricter VPN regulations than others. Perhaps GoKunming can enlighten us on VPN regulations here in Yunnan.

According to Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau's website,

"If an individual accesses international network privately or via 'illegal channels,' or offers related services without authorization, they could be fined up to 15,000 yuan."

To the dismay of our British friends, The Guardian is now banished beyond the northern walls of the Seven Kingdoms.

The Washington Post is also added to the list of casualties.

Not an ad, nor promotion.

My post since deleted contained download links to legit unlocked software catering to OP's purposes.

This website probably do not endorse posting download links of free pirated software. No grievances held. The original price for that point of sale app costs a steep USD199. Supporting the app developer is fine with me.

Best of luck to entrepreneurs such as vikalina with business aspirations in Yunnan. May your catering business flourish.

In a related story in this Southwest area of Yunnan, a recent fire in Lincang City's Mengjiao Nationality Township destroyed 101 straw hut cottages within this protected Wending village. Only four huts remain unscathed by the raging fire. Fortunately no fatalities were reported. Reason for fire unclear.

According to the Chinese National Geography magazine, this village of the Wa ethnic minority are the "last tribal village in China."

Funny you should mention though.

Wujiaba Greenland Headquarters at the old Wujiaba Airport is slated to become the tallest skyscraper (428m), at the core of what is touted as the "future smart city" area of Wujiaba.

Patrick Scally previously reported on redevelopment bids for Wujiaba's ten square kilometers of urban renewal project. One of them being the same American architectural, urban planning, and engineering firm in charge of Eye of Spring, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM).

Along with other firms, SOM submitted an urban planning sustainable development bid to city officials for Kunming Wujiaba New City Center to "use its extensive network of waterways and greenspace to reduce runoff and clean water naturally, improving the water quality of Kunming's scenic Dianchi Lake while simultaneously creating a vibrant urban habitat."

So who won the bid? Would be appreciated if Patrick followed up on this massive development project at Wujiaba.

Sustainable landscape architect design team from Finland has been tapped to resurrect the future Dongfeng Square at Kunming's city-center.

Behemoth steel frames of Eye of Spring are rapidly rising across from Kunming's current tallest Hang Lung's Spring 66. Eye of Spring will eventually surpass Spring 66 with a 77-storey skyscraper, along with a smaller 71-storey skyscraper. The Ritz-Carlton will be entering one of the two.

Yesterday morning, developer Junfa held a press conference across the street at Gingko Department Store showcasing the green design features of Eye of Spring. Expect more Chinese publications discussing the project in days to come.

Exciting news for Shangri-la's high speed rail.

At the end of this year, the Shangri-la's HSR station will commence its maiden voyage through the northwestern mountains in the direction of Tibet, setting up for future linkage to the autonomous region down the line.

Destination details can be revealed by Vera & contributors.

This segment of HSR completion will provide a quieter, safer, and faster alternative to the current honking of horns through ever-winding mountain roads via buses.

Rail connection en route to Lijiang (still under construction) won't be operational until next year as previously planned. Hopefully in late 2020, HSR linking Kunming - Dali - Lijiang - Shangri-la will be finally realized.
