Forums > Travel Yunnan > Pu Zhe Hei - Wenshan Scam

I've also been to Puzhehei numerous times and have never bought any entrance tickets. 200 kuai for a half an hour boat ride, ridiculous! I've made boat rides with local farmers for a very small fraction of that price. And they are much more fun!

Has anyone actually heard of illegal teachers getting deported for working a few hours on the side in Kunming? I haven't heard anything. Only some crackdowns on film sets, but they apparently were able to bribe their way out.

Forums > Food & Drink > Kunming Chinese Food

Hahaha, Billdan is very passionate about his dislikes. I argue he hasn't been looking good enough and has thrown in the towel prematurely after a few encounters with either too spicy or tasteless rice noodles and bad experiences with vegetarian dishes. As the capital of Yunnan, Kunming has a very diverse and colorful kitchen and you can find really awesome food if you know how and where to look, and maybe most importantly know what you need to be looking for. Of course, this food is better outside the big city. Actually, one of my jobs is to take groups on culinary trips through the province and there hasn't been a single person that disagreed with me about any food tastes. Anyway, I'm wasting my time here, it's completely ridiculous that you say "all the Chinese food in Kunming is crap", and you have proven to be impossible to argue with. Have fun chewing on your toast.

Billdan, excuse me for using a "gay term", I just watched a southpark episode and I quoted Cartman calling Kyle a Negative Nancy. What I mean is that you are continuing to make a fool out of yourself ranting on about the quality of western food in China. We are in China, so the local (southwestern) Chinese food will taste best. Western food will be of inferior quality because we are not in the west. If you are in Europe, you'll probably find western food tastes better and Chinese food will taste bad. Isn't that logical?

In China -> Good Chinese food, bad western food
In the west -> Good western food, bad Chinese food

1 + 1 = 2

Think what? That guns are good?

I agree with misfit that capital punishment is not gonna solve this problem. It's an emotional response that will not change anything about the situation.

I went to the Just Hotel pool yesterday and it was a total disgrace, the place looked like it hadn't been cleaned for at least a few months. Ugly, strange building with big rusty poles, unfriendly service. They updated their price to 40 rmb. The lifeguard was smoking at the waterside with a few of his lazy companions. They advertise that they close at 21:00 but the clock inside the pool is 15 minutes fast and they had us out of the pool 25 minutes before closing time. Not a nice way to spend 40 rmb. The only positive side was that it was not very crowded and it was easy to swim fast in a lane only bumping into a few clueless zig-zagging old people or kids once or twice. Any new tips on good pools in Kunming?

What I know of: 世纪金源大酒店 has a spa with 2 nice pools, indoor and outdoor, indoor 25m, outdoor slightly bigger, fitness area, not too crowded if you are smart with the times. Relatively clean. 168 for the whole spa package, pretty nice!

金星小区 in the north has a 50 meter outside pool, 20rmb, crowded but big and relatively clean, nice atmosphere.

世博花园酒店 has a 25 meter pool, not heated, clean-like, most old people don't take a shower before they get in, i complained many times. 30/40rmb

A pool at the far north side of Beijing lu, never went because it's 100 rmb. The bath is 50 meters, clean and deserted.

Tuodong I haven't been to for a few years. Crowded, expensive and not that clean was my impression.

I like going to the one at the youth center at Dianchi lu, relatively clean, not too crowded, 20 rmb...

Yes that is what i meant, mostly superficial or non existant. Which I think is pretty negative. In Luang Prabang it is so apparent that a majority of the locals are totally fed up with many of the foreigners that visit the town.

This place is without doubt my favorite restaurant in Kunming. It is truly Simao-style, but adds its own unique touch. The ingredients vary per week and the ingredients are all carefully sourced in specific markets or brought straight from the mountains. Their wild vegetables are always sweeter than other places in Kunming. There are plaques on the wall that say: "we don't feel the need to enhance the flavor with weijing or jijing, we do our best to source the best natural foods for you". You will not see any grease after finishing the plate, not even with the deep fried dishes. They are very flexible with ordering combinations and the super-friendly owner-chef will be happy to step out of the kitchen and give you some great advice. If he has time, because this place is crowded on most evenings. Service is friendly and attentive (but it is still Kunming). You get free home-made kimchi and apple vinegar with all meals. They have cold Fenghuaxueyue beer. Without doubt a safe Chinese eatery, really delicious food, friendly people who are passionate about their product. A true gem, in my opinion.

I heard Richland Hospital has proper testing material.

I think the medical staff is of the same level as other Kunming healthcare facilities. I needed to translate some specifics of a medical report I got in another specialized hospital. I wanted to do this by letting the Richland doctor have a phone call with the specialized doctor that had done the tests. I came in and there sat a young physician with a translating nurse. When the phone call to the other hospital wasn't successful he wanted to have look at the report himself. I asked if that would make sense if he wasn't a doctor that was specialized in that specific field. He told me he wanted to have a look anyway. To my horror, he promptly misdiagnosed me with a truly appalling disease. When I came home I was puzzled. I didn't have any symptoms, how could I have something that serious. I checked the internet and found out that the condition that he described DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. Well, I have to give him, he had me stressing out there for a minute. I wanted to confront him with his mistake but apparently all the doctors had taken the weekend off. Eventually, in combination with my visit to the other state run facility, I was in constant uncertainty and stress over the period of 4 days for something that turned to be NOTHING. I had NOTHING.

Please use the highest level of common sense in dealing with local healthcare. The situation is grim. Best to let them test (if the facilities are ok) and make conclusions and decisions by yourself, if serious ask a physician in another country. Never blindly trust anything they say.
