I always used my "free" plastic bags as bin liners. Now I need to buy bin liners instead. :-(

What other countries can I get to with a direct flight from Kunming airport? Know anything about the new airport they are building?
I was very annoyed too. They must have known about the route change for ages, but for some reason chose to keep it secret. At best, silly. At worst, contemptuous.
No results found.
This place is now closed.
Price is now 100RMB for adults, 70RMB for children.
Some of the animal areas are as far as 10+km from the entrance - you can buy a hop on/off bus ticket for 60RMB per person, but there are also clearly marked walkways for those who are full of energy.
Everything inside is pretty expensive - consider bringing a picnic.
Many of the animals are in large outdoor enclosures. Some are caged. The park calls itself a safari, but this is not a "drive your car amongst the animals" thing. It's more like a decent western zoo.
There are places to handle/be photographed with animals, for a fee. Also, some kids amusements.
The animal show is free, but a waste of time (unless you love watching goats, sheep, pigs, horses etc!!).
Good labelling i English thorughout.
Still worth a visit, especially for the arhat statues. The 11am vegetarian lunch is basic, but still only 10RMB. Free entry.
Prague cafe used to be my favourite cafe in Wenlin area but I went for lunch there today after a few months away and it's really gone downhill (new owners?). The menu was a photocopy, the food was lacklustre and much more expensive than before, the decor was dull and the service so-so. I won't be back there anytime soon.
It's open! And it's free. And its terrific for kids.
The museum is surprisingly interactive (although only 2/3 of the attractions are working) and modern (VR, simulators, touchscreens, etc). Sadly, no English on any of the displays but the fun is in trying to work out how the exhibits work and what they are supposed to be showing. Well worth a visit.
How To: Getting a Chinese driver's license in Kunming
发布者Could we have a similar article sometime on getting a motorcycle license since most e-bikes users will have to get this license over the next few years or give up their bikes.
How To: Getting a Chinese driver's license in Kunming
发布者My tip, for what it's worth - if you have no clue as to the answer of one of the multiple choice questions, pick the longest one. I found it was correct nearly every time.
Celebrating Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
发布者True, but as so many minority festivals are (rightly) celebrated in Yunnan, it's a pity that Dragon Boat Festival doesn't garner much enthusiasm. Although there were some half-hearted attempts in the Horticultural Exposition Park this morning.
Celebrating Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
发布者Bit sad that no one in Kunming can put on any sort of cultural boat-related activities despite lakes and rivers and minorities.
It's official: Yunnan facing serious drought
发布者My phone was also predicting lots of rain. It's changed its mind now though!
