I was going to post a similar topic last week, but didn't because usually such questions don't get very good answers. This is largely because the information is generally not available to the public. The last I heard was that the rail link would be open by the end of 2019. Do you have a source for the 28th?
The Chinese don't even need to lift a finger. Americans are their own worst enemy.
Believe it or not (as far as I can tell), the quality of some of the Mars products in China is actually superior to the crap they sell in the US market. American milk "chocolate" consists largely of high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated vegetable oil. It tastes disgusting and is so sweet it makes your teeth hurt. It boggles the mind why a company like Mars sells inferior goods in its home market.
I recommend going to Walmart and picking up a 200g bar of Whittaker's (New Zealand) chocolate. It's a pretty good deal for 29RMB. Ritter is a good one too, but normally a bit pricey.
Dali isn't "fun", peaceful or relaxing anymore. Maybe if you're into smog, litter, traffic congestion and dirty lakes Dali would be your cup of tea...however Kunming already offers all of those things.
Canada sheltering foreign criminals and exploiting newly arrived immigrants with promises of riches to keep the pension system solvent? Say it ain't so.

Documentary Under the Dome captivates China
Posted bySome places have adequate trash collection service but locals still choose to burn the trash to cook with and heat their homes. It's pretty common with the elderly. They also like to burn coal inside their homes when radiant or electric heating is available to save money.
I am living in Shandong Province, which is just about ground zero for air pollution. The main crop here is wheat, and they burn it.
When I stayed in Dali for the entire month of February, the air quality index was over 100 almost every day. There is very little industry in Dali, but you can clearly see where the air pollution is coming from...farmers burning stuff. I have a clear view of the valley, and I toured it several times on a bicycle.
Documentary Under the Dome captivates China
Posted byNot all the pollution in China comes from factories. A lot of it comes down to bad personal choices like driving a car to save face when a bus or bicycle would do instead. How about all the uncontrolled exploding of firecrackers? When the government tried to regulate it people got angry that their right to foul the air was being infringed upon.
How about the 700 million farmers that are constantly burning garbage and organic material (rather than rotating crops)? Agricultural pollution in China is huge problem, but it's not something that can be dealt with easily because many of these farmers simply can't afford to adopt modern farming methods. It will likely take decades to move these people into urban middle class environments and switch to large scale farming.

Kunming north-south metro lines near completion
Posted byAnyone know when Metro Line 3 will come online? I read in another article that the local government was being pretty quiet about it. I thought I recalled a completion date of spring 2015, but maybe it's been pushed back to 2016 now?
