Forums > Living in Kunming > Fedex US->China The US post office works too. I've had my brother successfully mail me my credit cards. Just follow aliennew advice. In addition, I added the pinyin to the Chinese. Phone number seems required. Anyways, as long as you use the expensive options like FedEx, UPS, or post office global express, and it's just a letter container, as opposed to a box, you're delivery should come through without issue and as fast as three to four days after mailing, depending on when it's dropped off.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Foreigner’s work permit card Here is the ranking system. I'd say A is for department head level or an extremely high paid 26 year old technical consultant with a PhD. B is probably everyone else. And C for short term work, like trade show reps.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Bicycle Rental (not share bikes) You don't need to email the Xiong Brothers. Just show up at the shop and bring your passport and/or 1000rmb for deposit. They will have a few mountain bikes to choose for rentals. If they are all out, then walk to 121 street across from the Yunnan normal main entrance there are a couple of bike shops. They usually have some a couple of mountain bikes for rent.
Around Town: Kunming's secluded Lianhua Temple
Posted byI think that's the official rule. No one is allowed in fire risk areas until the fire season is over. Mountain bikers get turned back ag lots of checkpoints throughout kunming during fire season. However, it's only enforced if seen, so just go into woods once out of sight of guards and romp around in a deeper or even more secluded part. Also, as far as I know, no fines if your caught and politely just plead ignorance and make your way out of forested areas.
Kunming police begin drive to register e-bikes citywide

Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
Posted byI think ofo is backed by a multi billion dollar company called didi. Though that might not stop them from closing down and rebranding a subsidiary, much like the two hair salons I bought memberships to.
Agree ofo bikes are the cheapest. The breaking of locks explains why I see kids on them in the outskirts km villages.
None of the three are comfortable rides for any length other than for kids or women.
Kunming to put 45,000 public use bikes on roads
Posted byMajority of this bike share seems positive so far. Seen plenty on way to haigeng park and some aunties using them for shopping, a random student on one now and then. Very sad a some punks tossed two into the river. That pile in the Guardian article is a commuter imbalance. Some city public bike programs in various western cities experience it too. There is a pile up of personal owned bikes at a train station in Copenhagen I think.
