Wire it to your Chinese bank account.
40k rmb or 400k rmb?
I'm not sure if Chinese debit cards will work on international debit systems unless those systems explicitly support UnionPay.
Baidu Maps and Tencent maps have similar functionality to Amap in terms of plotting out public transit routes. Each app has its own strengths and weaknesses, so I tend to rotate through all three.
No results found.
I had a really good burger here recently. Steven, the chef, really knows what he is doing. Worth checking out. Of course, good beer, too.
Cantina is always a safe bet for top-notch food and great service. I think it has actually gotten better and better over the years, which is often not the case with restaurants. Most people who live in Kunming know Cantina. Perhaps not as many know how involved the owners, Libby and Diego, are in various social welfare and community service efforts. Highly recommended both for visitors and long-term residents!
I went there twice for group boxing classes. I left the third time when I was attempting to book into a grappling class. This was part of an attempted process on my part to try the different classes offered there and see if I wanted to purchase one of their various membership cards.
The boxing classes were fun, a great workout, and the coaches and fellow students were all nice. A good atmosphere. Certainly room for improvement, especially in terms of explaining the class structure and fundamental concepts of the sports to beginners...but overall good.
However, on front desk staff member erased the positive aspects of the gym through his unprofessional and rude conduct. I was treated like some sort of con-man for wanting to try out the different classes offered before committing to multi-thousand RMB membership card, despite my willingness to pay per class to try them out. I wasted my time riding over to the gym on a very cold day on my scooter and then being refused service unless I committed on the spot to buying a membership card in direct contradiction to the gym's own policies and written price table. Also wasted was my friend's time and money, as she was in a cab on the way over to the gym in order to join me for the group class at the time I was refused service. My exchange with the staff (in which I was not terribly satisfied, but remained calm and reasonable throughout) was topped off with a remark from the one particular staff member with xenophobic undertones.
As one may see from my other reviews on this site, I typically try not to say anything unless I have something nice to say. In this case, I feel I must make an exception: I don't think it's a business that deserves your effort or money.
One of the best western restaurants in Yunnan. Definitely worth visiting if you will be passing through Shangrila!
The best tacos in Kunming!
Climbing Away: Liming

@Reuben, I think you have to write the full url including the http part: climbshigu.com
@eben, I think I've been spending too much time in Kunming :-)
Getting Away: Rock Climbing in Dali
发布者We just hopped thr bus to Guanyinqing. Bus 8 terminates at a small depot just next to the train station in Xiaguan. The bus bound for Binchuan was parked on the street turning right in exiting the depot, just 30 meters or so down. Driver says be back at the dropoff point by 7:30pm to catch last bus back from Binchuan.
I heard Shimenguan climbing area is now closed by local park authorities? Can anyone confirm?
Kunming's former party boss charged with corruption
发布者This is huge. If a figure like Qiu, who was transplanted from another province to clean up the dirty local political scene, can go down, seems like nobody is safe. Everybody with dirt on them who hasn't gotten busted yet must be getting real nervous at this point.
Bye-bye Nujiang ziplines
发布者:-(
Provincial toilets soon to be less disgusting
发布者Beijing: Free public toilets that are by and large clean and well-maintained.
Kunming: Public toilets cost 5 mao and are usually completely nasty.
