Forums > Living in Kunming > Air Quality!!! Kunming Not So Good.

Follow aqicn.com daily and find out. There was another thread on here, that I can't find right now, but last year it regularly got over 150, occasionally over 200, and one day over 400.
It makes sense that air is cleaner during rainy season, as the air gets washed every day.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Air Quality!!! Kunming Not So Good.

AQI not so good today. Chenggong over 130, Xishan Forest park almost 140. Across the center of Kunming from east to west was over 150. Surprisingly the best air quality was in the north of the city, only in the 90s.

This is probably the start of the poor air quality season. Asthmatics may benefit from keeping an eye on aqicn.org.

The issue for business would really be for those that need VPNs to operate secure networks for data transfer.

These are the companies that run their own VPNs, for example the banks. This is totally different to how you would use the shopping basket.
Buying online across borders already has barriers. There are some companies in Hong Kong that I cannot their websites from within Mainland China, although I can access them from EU. I can only assume that they don't want the China business. There are also Chinese websites that I cannot buy from if I use a server outside of the Chinese mainland. There are companies outside China that don't want to deal with or ship to China, this may or may not be due to regulatory barriers.

I would think that it would be a problem if it has expired. I would go back to the PSB and ask for a new one, explaining that you need it to travel with.

I think of it a bit like an open belt, a strip or swathe. Or if the roads are the lines of communication/trade, then the area of influence (political/economic) along the road is the belt, Others may see if differently.

Definition from Merriam Webster

Belt - an area characterized by some distinctive feature (as of culture, habitation, geology, or life forms); especially : one suited to a particular crop the corn belt

Dali will change even more, but that rate of change may be faster. What will change is the crowds and prices for accommodation. If it follows the pattern of Lijiang and other places, locals will sell up and outsiders will move in, either as buyers or long term renters.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
