Dunno about UPS, haven't heard about them operating in KM, but FedEx is here, I used them a couple weeks ago.
FedEx works through a Chinese company called Tianjin Datian Logistics, you can call their office near the airport at 701 5347 (their receptionist speaks decent English). They can send a FedEx van out to wherever you are and pick up your parcel. You might want to ask them to give you some extra forms and envelopes for future use.
I've received a few packages from TNT too - I think Harbour Plaza offers TNT services, but with an extra service charge added - but I don't have their contact details.
EMS is generally okay, but I've lost some documents sent via EMS before, so I don't really recommend it. Hope that helps.
Hi, thanks for posting on the site. Please put apartment posts in GoKunming's classifieds section - the forum section is for discussions, enquiries, etc. Thank you.
You can get your own room with hotsprings at Dianchi Chuntian, but it's something like 600-800 yuan/night. There are also shared outdoor hot springs for around 85 yuan. The outdoor hot springs are mixed with no nudity, and there is a nice little swimming pool. There is also one pool that is filled with little fish that eat your dead skin off of you. Really. Address and phone number are listed on the Spas page in this site.
Check out www.gokunming.com/en/blog/item.php?blog_id=76 about Al Medina, a Bangladeshi/Indian restaurant across from the airport. Starting next week they'll have an Indian chef who's been working in England. Hopefully it will be as good as it sounds.
GoKunming and Kunming Information Hub have had a good relationship over the years... we've even stopped by to share our thoughts on how they can make their site more useful to foreign readers:
The use of the word "Chinglish" was not derogatory in any way, for me the word simply suggests English that is often translated too literally from Chinese. It was not meant as an insult, and I don't believe it was taken that way, it was merely intended as a reminder to the staff at en.kunming.cn that hiring one native English speaker to go over their articles prior to publishing would greatly raise the quality of their content... something I mentioned when we met with them back in 2009.
I have much admiration for the young and bright crew at en.kunming.cn, we link to their content and they frequently run ours. Their team is just as small as ours, but they're publishing in a second language. Respect!
Once again, good to see haters chipping in. Feel free to share your band's douban link joe, I'm sure you guys keep it real.
Went to the show tonight and the band couldn't have shown more respect to the audience, despite people getting up on stage and acting like tourists while the band was trying to perform.
Can't get enough of people criticizing others for doing things that make people enjoy their lives. Kunming would be so much better if no bands passed through at all!
My favorite Tengchong-style restaurant in Kunming. Their ersi and erkuai are trucked over from Tengchong and are the real deal — Kunming ersi and erkuai do not compare.
The restaurant itself is a bit jumbled, but there are a couple of tables outside in the courtyard that are nice to sit at when the weather's pleasant.
Don't believe them when they say they don't have lufu.

发布者Ed was kind enough to provide us with a copy for review.
There's an Amazon link in the first mention of the book's title... hopefully it will be available around town soon.
