Can anyone tell me if an ATM from Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank, Bank of China or Post Office Bank can be used to withdraw money in Hong Kong? In Laos? In Thailand? In Vietnam?
There are lots of rumors and lots of statements of what "ought" to be, but can anyone tell me if they have actually been able to use their Chinese bank account on a visit to one of the neighboring countries?
Thanks.
Anyone try the Bade Hanse restaurant among the shops and restaurants next to The Hump Hostel? At first glance, it looks like German- Brazilian restaurants I've seen elsewhere in China. Does it have home-brewed beer with the roast meat?
Thanks.
I want to visit both Jing Hong and Mangshi (aka Luxi). I know there is a direct bus from KM to JH. Is there a direct bus from KM to Mangshi? Is there a bus connection between Jing Hong and Mangshi?
Thanks!
I had a good experience, a couple years ago, with the dental hospital ("Stomatology Hospital) at the Kunming Medical School on Renmin Lu. They have some English speaking dentists. I forget the price, but a couple thousand rmb for a complete crown, of gold covered with porcelain. No pressure to get the most expensive option.
Bus #84 from the northern city bus terminal, bei shi qu chi che chang (公交北市区车场), will take you from the north side to the Yun Da area. There are 3-4 stops along yi er yi street that might suit you. It ends at the downtown pedestrian mall.
No results found.
I've stayed here many times over the years and been very satisfied. Central location, comfortable rooms, reasonable prices. Some might mind the noise from the Bad Monkey Bar across the street, but I've always been able to sleep. The staff is very helpful with bus tickets, excursion tickets and the like.
Does anyone know if this is still a going concern? Or destroyed by the fire?
One of my favorite places in Jing Hong! It's my landmark, the center of the hotel, restaurant, bike, etc., area. I discovered dark Beer Lao there!
But getting to the S. bus station takes another hour....
Around Town: Scenes of desolation in 'New Kunming'
发布者I visited the Normal U. Campus and the Minorities U. campus around New Years. It's still a wasteland and probably very boring for students to live there. Faculty insist on living at their old Cui Hu area apartments.
Aside from all else, Cheng Gong has no public transportation, making it almost impossible to get around, unless you are one of the new rich, with a car. Just getting there from other parts of KM is very difficult, and I don't expect the subway to change that soon.
Rhinos reintroduced to Yunnan

China and India look to strengthen ties
发布者I've been telling my students for years that one reason to study English is that business with India is bound to grow. One need only look at the map to notice that two of the fastest growing countries in the world are almost side-by-side, and that Kunming is well-placed to benefit from that. English will almost certainly be how Indian and Chinese businessmen communicate.
