Ah yes, vpn, but I already use SSH tunneling, which works fine as well, it's just slower than without any such methods (VPN included), which makes uploading a disaster.
Thanks for the suggestion anyways!
Hmm.. I guess it was a temporary thing; suddenly everything works as normal again without the proxy.
DNS problems then I guess?
That's weird.. This is a bit too specific to be DNS problems I'd say..
Are there more specific blocks? Per internet connection, or per ISP?
lol... just download pwnage tool and you can unlock your iphone for free :) I've done it and it works perfectly. Just be careful with updating to new firmwares in itunes, as it might break the option to unlock for a while.
As a photographer, I make frequent use of several photography community websites, which are mostly used by professionals and serious amateurs (unlike flickr, on which everyone has an account), and so the nature of these websites is most of all to share photography and opinions on everything about photography.
This morning I was fine with accessing 2 of my favourites: www.jpgmag.com and www.photo.net and after an internet outage this afternoon I suddenly can't reach either of them unless I use a proxy...!
Can you guys get on these websites?
If they domestically blocked these websites as well, what's next? How about block the entire internet, while we're at it?
And as a side-note: Australia is the next to implement internet-censorship

Xizhou is one of Dali's gems, only about 18 kilometers north along the lake from Dali Old Town. The old town still feels authentic and is like a living gallery, showcasing the impressive artistry and culture of the Bai people.
It makes for a great stop on the way up to Shaxi Old Town too, which is perhaps my favourite place in Dali prefecture.

I've been to the Stone Forest many times and although when entering the park it may feel a bit like a tourist trap, there's areas in the back that, even during high season, are usually extremely quiet and can be explored without being surrounded by the crowds.
The landscape is unique and different from many nearly areas that also feature karst rock formations. Definitely worth a visit for those who haven't been yet.

Five stars for focussing on healthy foods. Homemade live sauerkraut, lots of dishes with quinoa, chia seeds, avocado, and tons of other superfoods mixed to create a tasty and healthy cuisine. I hope this is only the beginning of a new wave of alternative food options in the city.

One of the better options in Lijiang for a western meal. Had a set menu through meituan for only 99 yuan that included a very decent steak and onion soup. The environment is spacious and nicely designed with the restaurant being conveniently located in between the InterContinental and LUX hotel inside of the old town. We were not drinking, but they looked like having an impressive wine collection. 5 stars if they improve on speed and service level.

Sofitel is easily one of Kunming's top hotels now, featuring one of the best locations, in between the city center and the popular Dianchi Lake area.
The views from any of its rooms, as well as the buffet restaurant are quite stunning, offering previously unseen panoramas over the whole of Kunming.
There's a bar on the 50th floor, although currently it still has some work to do to be able to compare itself with similar 'skybars' in Shanghai or Beijing.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
Posted by@Blobbles: It's intentional. Aligning the top of the sidebar and main contact area has it's own aesthetic problems. I'll have a look at the comment box. Thanks for your feedback.
@Geezer: Glad to know it looks good on the tablet. Hope the font is clearly readable now. Making the font-size larger didn't work, in my opinion.
Generally, mobile platforms will have better font rendering, because of the higher screen resolution. Macbook retina screens look quite incredible as well.

Posted by@Markus: We tried to find a balance between desktop and mobile, as one does with responsive designs. The previous mobile website was lacking behind the desktop site because it was a separate website and therefore development.
Less scrolling on the mobile site, without hurting the desktop version, could mean the implementation of more tabs, but if you don't like the use of tabs, perhaps you have other suggestions or can submit design examples?
Thanks!

Posted by@Geezer, tigertiger: The font is now slightly darker. I hope it helps. :)
Feel free to let us know if there's any other problems or if you have any feature requests.
We hope you all enjoy using the new GoKunming!
Getting Away: Tiger Leaping Gorge
Posted byVoltaire: All images have been processed with Lightroom only, although the top image also has seen a mild treatment with PS's built-in HDR processer.
With good light and the help of techniques to 'increase' the dynamic range you can quite easily get very dramatic images of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Posted byLaoQingwa: I took the photos over three separate trips. Most of the pictures were shot in October while a few pictures that show a calmer Jinsha river were shot in March instead.
