I remember about 10 years ago, in the morning you could see traditional wooden sailboats on Erhai that I presume were being used by the locals for fishing. I'm not sure if they're still around, because I think there is some kind of fishing ban in effect. At least, I haven't noticed the boats for some time.
Every time I travel by car or train through Dali or Lijiang, I see countless plumes of smoke coming off the farmer's fields. If I had to guess, I'd say pretty damn common.
Burning your fields can put you in prison in East China. Why the hell does Yunnan allow it? It doesn't seem too smart to sabotage one of the main drivers of your GDP.
I found some answers. Just use this:
dd-wrt.com/support/router-database/
There are many TP link models on the list.
I don't have any concrete evidence, but I feel that the Chinese ISPs might be doing something to cripple performance and reliability non compliant routers. At least, my POS free "Mercusys" brand router seems a hell of a lot more stable than my WRT-54Gs.
No results found.
Black carbon and women's health in rural Yunnan
Posted byI have heard of several cases of older people becoming brain damaged from burning those round charcoal coal pellets for heat in the winter. Apparently they are toxic as hell.
Welcome to the new GoKunming!
Posted byThe new GoKunming is a disorganised mess. Maybe it's because I'm not viewing it on a 52" monitor at 3192x2048, or maybe it's because I'm not using a touch device. I'm sure there must be improvements in here somewhere, but I'm not benefiting from them at all. This new site is different for sure, but certainly not better.
Yunnan could hold model for China's labor camp reforms
Posted byJust don't make Chinese prisons like in the US where prisoners just learn how to become better criminals.
Truncated subway Line 1 to open New Year's Eve
Posted byHa. The subway extensions in Toronto are not a mere 4 years late, more like 30 years late! They've been talking about building a subway line along eglinton ave since the 80s. Toronto is pretty pathetic in this regard. They call themselves world class yet don't even have a subway connection to the airport. This is part of the reason I came to China: commitment to public transport and bicycle friendly.
I'm impressed that the construction of the subway in Kunming continues without major delay. It's just a damn shame that the Kunming-Dali HSR is on ice, I was really looking forward to that one. It was originally supposed to be completed last year.
