Newest form of foreigner owned business entity in China is FIPE, or Foreign Invested Partnership Enterprise.
This model has no minimum capital investment or corporate taxes, so it is very well suited for startups.
However, when I have discussed this with Kunming business consultants, they have said that although the company itself can be started with minimal investment, the foreigner working in such company will have to provide bank deposit or other proof of means to live in China.
In other business models, the capital investment serves for this purpose.
The foreigners certificate of marriageability must be obtained from his own country.
That certificate must be double legalized: first by foreign ministry in your home country and then by Chinese consulate in your home country.
In some cases some or all of those steps can be done through the country's consulate in China.
As was mentioned, you must register marriage in the capital of the county where your wife's hukou is. Also note, that office which handles foreigner-related marriages may not be the same which handles local marriages.
In our case in Jan 2014, the Baoshan city office also arranged the translation for my certificate. I believe they sent it to Kunming to be translated, so we had to wait a day or two for that in Baoshan.
Health certificate was not needed for marriage, but when applying for residence permit, Kunming Exit&Entry said that 1 year permit can be given without health examination but 2 year permit would require it.
For children, Kunming has a zoo in the city centre with small amusement park there as well.
Another wildlife park is in northern suburbs of the city. That's where Kunming's panda is.
There is another amusement park with a little bigger rides at Daquan Park.
The big wet markets are usually indoor complexes, usually divided to two sections (or floors, depending on the layout), one for vegetables and the other for meat.
The one we usually go to, is behind Carrefour at Longquan Lu and Baiyun Lu intersection. Nearby there is also a busy shopping street with many stalls selling food and other stuff.
Probably if you live anywhere inside 2nd Ring Road, there will be one or two wet markets within 2 kilometers from you.

Invasive 'armyworm' threatening corn production in Yunnan, SE Asia
发布者In my wife's hometown - and I assume many small-scale farms elsewhere - corn from the farmers' own fields is the main feed for pigs, trade of which has already been impacted by african swine fever.
Public Notice: A message from the Kunming Public Security Bureau
发布者Since this website serves foreigners (and locals) not just in Kunming but wider in Yunnan province, I wonder if something to reflect that could be arranged in regards of this PSB cooperation.
At least my personal observations of matters related to organized crime is not so much in Kunming, but outside it.
Film Premiere: Check out our travel series Yunnan: The China You Never Knew!
发布者The first episode left a bit hasty picture. in my opinion in line with what Kunming is - a crossroads city to spend a day, max two, on way to other tourist sites in the province..
Personally I would have liked seeing more in depth stuff, not just the 2-3 highlights available on any travel guide.
But probably cannot do much more in few minutes show, and also why I don't epect much more from the coming episodes.
Kunming spearheading provincial "toilet revolution" 2.0
发布者@vicar: "I know how to keep toilets clean"
In most public toilets in city (and beyond) that I have seen, they have a cleaning person stationed on the premises. I don't know know if they even go home for nights.
In many countries that alone would be considered a huge investment, but obviously not in China.
Kunming spearheading provincial "toilet revolution" 2.0
发布者I wonder if it will be possible to check the "real-time concentrations of nitrogen, ammonia and PM2.5" inside a stall before and after your own visit.
