Forums > Living in Kunming > Running routes around Kunming

I'd like to start a thread exploring some of the better routes around town for running. Ideally any route on this thread should have minimal car traffic (I know this is tough to do here) and maximum green space.

Let me start with my current favorite new route, which starts at the Yunnan University West Gate and finishes at the Haigeng Olympic Training Facility:

1. Head downhill from Yunnan University's west gate and cross Yieryi Dajie via the elevated passenger walkway.

2. Head west (left) on Yieryi Dajie to the Xizhan roundabout and continue on to Huancheng Xi Lu.

3. Follow Huancheng Xi Lu as it curves southward to Xiba Lu.

4. Take Xiba Lu westward until it curves southward and becomes Xihua Lu.

5. Take Xihua Lu west until you've reached the end of the road, then head left (south).

6. After approximately 250 meters you will cross a river - immediately after crossing the river, take the stairs on your right to the riverside path below.

7. Follow the riverside path for several kilometers until it hits Dianchi Lake and becomes a lakeside promenade.

8. Follow the promenade south until it ends at a street.

9. Go left (east) on said street until you hit Haigeng Park - pay 8 kuai and run along the lakeshore until you hit the east gate.

10. Cross the street and run into the Haigeng Olympic Training compound. In the little shop in the center of the compound there is a fridge full of supercold Gatorade, Amino Supli, Water, etc. At this point you've run about 18 km.

11. Continue past the shop and past the soccer/football fields on the north side of the compound, exiting out the north and heading left to Xingti Lu (兴体路).

12. Take Xingti Lu north until it reaches a T-intersection, head left (west) toward the roundabout - stop, stretch and take a taxi home.

Total distance: 21.4 kilometers

Any other good routes out there? They can start anywhere in the city... the more creative the better.

Interesting theory, do you have any examples?

I'm somewhat skeptical, but I've heard people theorize that the 'ga' used at the end of statements is related to the polite particles 'krap' and 'khaa' in Thai... have you found anything to corroborate this?

We've been asked by Matthieu Lelievre to thank GoKunming readers for showing up to the benefit show/party. The evening raised more than 5,000 yuan for the school.

The school in Jiabe is still looking for English and Chinese teachers for the school. For more information, call Matthieu Lelievre at 13708732507.

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.
