Forums > Living in Kunming > 3 day negative covid test for air travel

Anyone have information or experienece in getting a covid 19 test for international air travel?

From what I can tell, I need a 3 day before departure test that the airline will accept and english translated version of results.

Info on where to get the test, how long it takes to get results, and if they provide an english version would be appreciated.

I don't really want to travel right now, but I might have too.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Missed first dose COVID-19 vaccine

I called all three listed hospitals today. All had the same response, that I had to call 114 and get in touch with the Kunming Foreign Affairs Office. After speaking to someone in the department responsible for the vaccine rollout, they said at this time I would not be able to get either the first dose or second dose in Kunming as a foreigner. They don't have any foreseeable plans to offer another round either. The only route to getting vaccinated in Kunming is these two windows at those three hospitals. Private or other hospitals are not an option.

My only option it seems is to find somewhere in China that is not Kunming, like other parts of Yunnan or other provinces that will allow me to get a shot there.

If anyone has information regarding getting the COVID-19 vaccine shot outside of Kunming, I would appreciate it.

Do not miss your 2nd shot!

I just found out that the windows are once only for Kunming.

I missed my first shot and from the information I have gathered since is if you miss a window as a foreigner, you are screwed.

There is no other route to get a jab in Kunming jurisdiction and no for seeable plans to offer another round of windows for foreigners.

Any hotel in Kunming probably can, but as you venture out to the smaller cities of China, you will find that many hotels are not setup to register foreign guests. When you get very rural, it's actually easier to find lodging as many places then don't bother with registration. The rule is still on the books, but most big city hotels can comply now and most small village ones don't bother. It's 3rd tier non-tourist towns where you tend to encounter this issue.

Wow, only 13 businesses lost and zero death toll. That's the best bad news possible out of a fire in old town. It could of easily been 130 businesses and worst. The might of the Chinese populace. 1000 for the bucket brigade.

Most airports in China have the last shuttle bus depart when the last flight arrives. Whether they do this as a courtesy or it's a rule of law, I don't know. But it's very comforting.

The 28rmb salad bar buffet is the best meal to be had in Kunming for that price. Killer onion rings as part of that salad bar! Starts at 5pm Mon-Sat. They don't restock a dish if it runs out, but it's rarely an issue because there are so many others and no dish runs out unless you show up past 7'ish on a fri or sat.

Their steaks are Chinese steaks, and not a Western level of cut of meat, but the Korean dishes are excellent.

The only reason it's 4 and not 5 stars, is I live far away, and maybe the quality of the steak. Of course it was only 50rmb for a steak, potatoes, and a salad bar buffet included.

Oh yes, the staff are really nice, but it's not fine dining, so they don't rush to take your order or bring out water. The place is more relaxed, so give'em a hollar or just grab a menu and some silverware yourself.
