i've not poked about in it, so I don't know about selection or price, but there's a bedding store nearby you on Longxiang Jie 龙翔街 that looks like it might be what you're looking for. it's on the north side near the western end of the street. bring (metric) measurements - bed sizes here are not well standardised. good luck.

last time i went past when the door was open, they had gutted the inside and completely refitted it. i think it's safe to assume that it's gone. it was never the same since the Thai brothers left town anyway...

@russia
not any more there isn't.

@serious_
there's nothing. if you're flexible there's a few things that might scratch the itch e.g. hummus/pita at Salvador's, tandoori items at Cacaja. good luck.

I ordered my horse to be brought from the stables. The servant did not understand my orders. So I went to the stables myself, saddled my horse, and mounted. In the distance I heard the sound of a trumpet, and I asked the servant what it meant. He knew nothing and had heard nothing. At the gate he stopped me and asked: "Where is the master going?" "I don't know," I said, "just out of here, just out of here. Out of here, nothing else, it's the only way I can reach my goal." "So you know your goal?" he asked. "Yes," I replied, "I've just told you. Out of here - that's my goal."

Fuxian Lake is the 3rd deepest lake in China. there's a lot of water in it. pair this with water's thermal properties (i'm thinking high specific heat capacity, not the nice little 4 degree C switcheroo that keeps the fishies alive) and you've got one cold lake for most of the year. however, now is where it's at... it's cool, but swimmable, and it'll likely get a little warmer over the next couple of months. i guess if i had to put a timescale on it, i'd say september and october are the best months to swim in Fuxian

i expect Just Hotel has changed its name, as i remember it being easy to find (you mention elsewhere that you speak Chinese). it's further from town that the youth centre, and on the north/west side of the road. also, it's no longer listed on this site. for all i know, it's been chai'ed :)

i keep hearing about a pool on jiaochang zhong lu (教场中路) that's run by the military but open to the public. i've not been there myself, but the recommendations have come from people whose views i trust. 30 kuai a time, with a discount if you buy a 月卡. ah, it's this place: www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/yun_31598/

according to www.kmbus.com.cn/ the 115 gets you to ciba 茨坝 via longquan lu 龙泉路, so there's a bit of walking to add on at the end to get to the park gate. there might be other buses to ciba that get the job done the same way.

no-one's reviewed this place for nearly 3 years! i think i know why: it's solid. a bit boring maybe, but they get the job done: food on the table in good time, attentive staff, wide selection of items. the 'Prague Breakfast' is a fine feed, still good value after the recent price increase.

i joined friends here on the weekend. they were getting food and playing a game. the pizzas looked great, but my friends advised me to avoid them, saying they tasted bland.

having made a selection, it took 20 minutes for the staff to tell me that my choice was no longer available. as my friends had nearly finished their game, we then all took our business elsewhere.

helpful advice:

- if someone arrives, give them a menu

- sort out the beer selection

- if i speak to you in Chinese, speak back to me in Chinese

i've recently rediscovered this place. it's a little hit and miss, but i have to say that with a little experimentation, you can find some quality food here. while not perfect, the vindaloo is the best i've had.

i first sampled the Silver Spoon burgers a few weeks back - not bad at all, though i was unconvinced that they were 1/2 pound. another visit yesterday, and this time i was persuaded... definitely a fat burger. i was very happy with my cheese and bacon burger. diners with large appetites, be warned - you'll need a side of something to make a meal - the burger is just a burger - no fries.
