OP, here is an image that may help, though not the all-encompassing resolution you seek. It shows the bus numbers (and landmark destinations) just outside MRT station exits. The chart displays station exits along Line 2 (blue) subway line on Beijing Road reaching your Northern neighborhood:
Similar image for MRT Line 1 (red) to the South:

Buses outside exits of Line 3 for East to West:
Line 6:
Powerful, pre-built gaming rigs equipped with i5 (even i7) cpu and fast GPU are well under 1/3 of your asking price. Ask a friend to help you navigate reliable Taobao/Tmall stores. Buying imported motherboard, power supply, case, RAM, fans, etc. , separately yourself is not as cost effective these days, even via newegg for the tech savvy.
@Crazychopstick, DiDi app is a great tool for both bike renting and bus transit routes (your other topic inquiry).
The Chinese DiDi (滴滴出行) version allows both above-mentioned functions. While the English DiDi version only permits express car (cheaper)/ride sharing (cheapest) or pricier taxi hailing options like Uber/Grab.
DiDi is similar to WeChat app, in that the Chinese language version is like a multipurpose swiss army knife. The English WeChat & DiDi interfaces are more one-trick ponies. Hence, select Chinese language to unlock integrated bus route and bike renting features.
Application:
Didi bus transit routes ("公交" tab) show nearest bus stations and bus numbers from your current/departure point to destination with clear map navigation interface. The app also displays the nearest or most efficient options for bus transfers, as well as walking duration/distance to and fro bus stations.
I'm currently visiting a developing area in perhaps a fourth tier city, yet the transit info are still accurate and up to date. Thanks in part to DiDi being a massively funded national operation that pretty much monopolized the logistical side of China's ride hailing market. This requires precise lay of the land.
DiDi bike renting ("单车" tab) displays nearest 青拮 (qingjie) teal colored bicycles, which imho is superior and easier to ride than Mobike, Alipay's Hello bikes, Ofo (defunct?), or the red city bikes. DiDi own these newer teal bikes.
Important side note is after binding DiDi account to your phone number or WeChat, they require inputting Chinese ID name and number to verify age, as minors aren't permitted to rent them for safety reasons. Borrow ID info from a Chinese. It doesn't matter if they've already created a DiDi account in the past using same ID number. Your new DiDi account can successfully be verified regardless. Perhaps try this with the red bikes as well.
Not sure if only Chinese ID# (身份证号) is accepted, but if you scan the red bikes with WeChat's mini program, WeChat Pay is the way to pay.
I've yet to see any mini programs allowing Alipay as payment option. It's Tencent's way of defeating Alipay in e-payment market share.
I think OP may be referring to dockable red bikes the city government provides. Its free for first hour of use. Search for 叮塔出行 on your WeChat mini programs. Bike qr code scanner in the miniprogram. 叮塔 (Dingda) is probably the sound of the bike's bell, an onomatopoeia if you will.
No results found.
The first of gaggle of gulls has arrived
发布者It's funny you mention this lemon. Keen observation. I also noticed most are white-headed with a black dot in earlier months, but in February many appear black headed.
Either these black dots grow to cover entire face after a few months here, or the black-headed gulls arrive much later and stay for a shorter duration. My hunch is the former.
Snapshot: Chasing black snub-nosed monkeys in the forests of northwest Yunnan
发布者Thank you for the beautiful photographs Fabio. We look forward to more Yunnan culture, wildlife, and landscape through your lens. Happy journeys with Vera.
Whether snow leopards, yaks, llamas, or these funky monkeys, the sheer amount of fur these guys sport at cold, high altitudes speaks volume of evolutionary natural selection and adaptivity of our mammalian kins.

发布者But Carl also spins breakbeat, which is a mixture of funk, jazz and R&B. So Detroit techno shouldn't be the sole answer as that limits his range. Darn, I was hoping to win this. Next time.
TeamLab "Future Amusement Park"
发布者Since we're on the subject of Hang Lung Spring 66, Crystal Jade Golden Palace restaurant on the 6th floor may be worth a visit after experiencing TeamLab on the 2nd floor.
Their sister restaurant in Singapore received a Michelin one star:

Acclaimed dishes are their BBQ pork (炒烧肉) hung on racks. The dongpo meat (东坡肉) looks succulent. The sweet sour pinnaple fried and cooked fish is also tasty. Portions of other dishes like steamed eggplants are quite generous and delicious as well. A group of staffers can be seen preparing steamed pork buns (小笼包) behind see-through glass.
If you're closer to Nanya mall, Crystal Jade has a store there too, I think. And another one somewhere else in Kunming.
TeamLab "Future Amusement Park"
发布者Our new editor is on a roll. Pumping out articles seemly every few days. We appreciate your super work ethic. Thank you!
This TeamLab future amusement park looks like a place where children would enjoy. Per Vera's descriptions, an unique interactive medium to unleash your child's creativity. Heck, the kid in me would be just as giddy. Being immersed in all that glow in dark black light is already enough to wow me, let alone DIY art works animated into life and interacting with others. Pretty cool.
For parents thinking about where to take their hyperactive kids with too much pent up energy, the new Aegean Shopping Mall on Baiyun Road No. 168 features a sizable ice skating ring with ice hockey classes what not. Also, another enormous two storey jungle cage with zip lines, trampolines, and assortment of bouncy objects & balls, and challenging climbing obstacles to satisfy the inner ape in all of us.
