@DantheMan: I agree with Natsymir, Huating Temple's arhats are as bold and expressive than those at Bamboo Temple, if not more so. Not sure how they compare in originality, as Huating's were apparently inspired by Bamboo's. One area in which Huating undoubtedly one-ups Bamboo: It has rubing.
Not sure if Natsymir means Kunming's four main urban districts or Kunming municipality when saying all the temples in Kunming, but Panlong Temple (盘龙寺) on the south end of Dianchi near Jinning is one of the largest and best-known temple compounds in the Dianchi Basin. I'm not an expert on it, but it seems to be one of the more important temples for Kunmingers - it is packed with locals who usually drive there from the city. Definitely worth including in your temple hunt, in my opinion.

Happy ninth birthday Sal, you've made Kunming a better place.
Four stars for a great restaurant with friendly staff.
I give Tusheng Shiguan a fifth star for its goal of promoting environmentally sound food production.
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.
Tom and Jiajia have been baking up a storm lately. Thanks to them I have delicious sourdough bread to toast on the space heater in the office.
The Bircher muesli is probably the healthiest and most delicious breakfast around.
Pound for pound, one of the best little Western restaurants in China. 佳佳万岁！
Just had gnocchi in mushroom sauce and a glass of wine for dinner on the balcony in mid-January. Awesome.
Recipe: Across the bridge noodles
发布者Sounds like a standard bowl of mixian (rice noodles), the tofu may have been a softer version of bean curd known as douhua... we'll try to get a traditional version of this dish on the site in the coming weeks. Thanks for the suggestion!
