Forums > Living in Kunming > I love Kunming - Except . . .

I really love life here in Kunming and Yunnan. However, one thing that really drives me nuts is -

1 - The people who drive their bikes and scooters into the market, especially during peak hours.

Does the average university student in Kunming speak Mandarin Chinese well?

The answer is no. Most students are lucky if they can get a level 2A on their Mandarin test. Only 3% of those tested in Yunnan can get a level 1B. Less than 1% can get level 1A.

Other than a status symbol, I don't know why people buy cars here in China. Public transportation is great and you can get a bus to just about anywhere. When buses are not convenient, you can find a minivan to take you to any of the out of the way places.

I have 2 balconies in my apartment so I have a small garden. I compost all my vegetable waste and I feed it to the worms in my worm garden. Over the years I have put all this into the red Yunnan dirt that I got from outside and now my soil is rich, loose and black.

Even wiki is equally inept - The Ludila Dam is an under construction gravity dam on the Jinsha River near Lijiang in Yunnan province, China. Construction on the dam began in 2007 and was halted in June 2009 by the Ministry of Environmental Protection after it was being constructed without approval.

Near Lijiang? I can name at least 3 prefectures in Yunnan that are near Lijiang.

Nothing annoys me more than reading an article that does not clearly answer the 5Ws. When the reader has more questions after reading an article that is proof to me of poor writing.

Is this dam in Lijiang or Dali? I am sure this dam has to belong to a certain county.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
