We just launched nominations for the Best of Kunming Awards 2020-2021. This year you can go straight to the listings page of your choice and click "nominate" to allow your favorite establishments to participate. Official voting will start January 8!
Thanks jj! We'll keep working on new features and functionality. Feel free to let us know if you have any special requests!
@galipeau Indeed less articles recently, but several coming up soon!
Meanwhile, we just introduced Facebook, LinkedIn and Google logins to make it easier to register an account and add listings, events, classifieds ads, and participate in the forums.
Classifieds now allow for an image to be added and job classified ads can now include salary information.
There's more updates coming, and we're always happy to get further input / requests from our regular and new users!
@Michael Good point. I would like to add that all listings will be approved by moderators before they go live. We do our best to verify the validity of the information and will indeed reach out to business owners when we have that option.
Listing information can be entered in Chinese as well, but the website still focusses mainly on offering information in English for now.
Recently we added a new feature where any user can add listings to the website. Feel free to add your own business, help a friend or add your favorite venue. If there's missing cities you would like to notify us of, get in touch with us through the contact form and we'll make sure they get added asap.

We're working on other new functionality as well. Soon, anyone can use Facebook, LinkedIn and Google accounts to login to the website. An updated homepage is also in the making, so stay tuned. Leave a comment in this forum thread for any other feature requests!

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.

Charcuterie: Taking food safety into one's own hands
Posted byI fully agree with Colin's point made in the last paragraph. I've been a vegetarian for a few years, mainly because I did want to know where my food comes from and those findings proved to be far from pleasant for both animal and consumer. Sticking your head in the sand surely doesn't change anything.
I'll admit I wouldn't be too keen on following Colin's example, but I definitely admire his deed. Otherwise, I believe knowing the origins of our foodstuff is desirable (and challenging!) at the least.
Also looking forward to have a taste of the resulting products!
