Wait, what?
There are now only domestic flights for all of China?
As there is no more Covid here, this feels more like precautionary war footing..
How are we supposed to escape this place?

As the OP, I can confirm that there is no amnesty for overstaying..
I have overstayed now for 6 & 1/2 months, yet the police recently issued me a new residency permit..
Go figure.
@Dan Dare... I consider the city government to be the horses mouth.
Was told to simply have my residency permit & i.d.
Think I'll just skip the subway.
Monday afternoon, the 20th, my building management phoned to enquire about checks on travel within KM; specifically the subway..
KM city government informed them that travel within Kunming is free from restrictions or health forms..
Possibly the checkpoint stations have not received the memo?
I am already in overstay mode.
The penalty reaches the 10,000 yuan mark after only 20 days.
You are right, though, a phone call to FSB might provide an answer.
No results found.
China-Laos railway now connecting cities of Kunming and Vientiane
Posted byAccording to the China Daily article, the 10 & 1/2 hour trip includes 3 hours for border visa formalities, so the actual travel time is 7 & 1/2 hours.. Damned impressive !
Travel in the times of Ebola — and Covid-19

Plastic not-so-fantastic: Kunming and plastic waste
Posted byOff topic: I was fortunate to have visited the cemetery of Rachel's namesake; Ernest "Papa" Hemingway, at Ketchum Idaho. Far off the beaten track; a winter ski resort area, it was worth the detour, for those with a literary inclination..
He lies alongside wife Mary, with a slender evergreen at the head of both graves, which were simple slabs of dark granite; about 8 feet (2 & 1/2 M) long.. Visitors had left little trinkets, coins, etc, at the foot of the graves; otherwise, no magic-markings or signs of desecration in this quiet and desolate location.. Other Hemingway graves were not far away, but whose names I don't remember.
Plastic not-so-fantastic: Kunming and plastic waste
Posted byAnd when in doubt, recycle anyway. Even if the plastic is unfit for re-use, it is generally incinerated in environmentally approved facilities, with proper filtration.
Burnt unfiltered plastic releases toxic levels of p.c.b's.
Plastic not-so-fantastic: Kunming and plastic waste
Posted byIt is regrettable that bio-degradable plastic has yet to gain traction on an industrial basis. It was developed around 5 years ago, in the US, as I recall.
Many people simply don't grasp the theory of recycling; never have and never will.
My experience indicates that southern Europe is as guilty of plastic pollution as the Asian nations; there are simply many more people in Asia.
