Seems a bit overly generous for JD standards, but will look into it, thanks!
Restaurants and stores at shopping centers like TKP, 财富中心, and COHO are also having 50% 12/12 deals.
Go to their WeChat mini program or official accounts to take advantage.
bhamast, I've mentioned elsewhere that 58同城 and Anjuke may be useful resources for apartment hunting. Various toggle tools are at your disposal to filter listings. Touching base with landlords directly may serendipitously nullify one month in rent in 中介费. Granted agents may disguise as 业主/房东 for clickbaiting, so be wary of that.
Those seeking to lease may also find said avenues quicker in reaching suitable tenants than would commissioning real estate agents whose main prerogative is purchases, if not ascertaining potential buyers/sellers for future transactions. Highly recommend leaving agencies your secondary phone number to avoid year round hassling.

Which area or specific community/compound/development(s) in Kunming have doubled in five?
Perhaps special cases, like sought after locations that finally got 房产证 greenlight after a decade of red tape holdup.
According to anjuke asking price data, in 2019 thus far, average Kunming property prices increased just ~750yuan per sqm. A very modest 5.6% rise for the year.
This estimation is on par with market observation and hearsay, with moderate annual deviations compared to previous year-on-year.

I have found Alipay transport features to work best for both subay and bus embarkation scanning.
Similar to Didi, Alipay's built-in bus map route is also easy to use and accurate. Hello Bike, new Hello ebike, and taxi hailing also available within app.
Located inside Alipay app, under "Traffic" mini program (交通出行): First tab is for bus, next for subway, then bike renting, last tab to the right is cab hailing.
Right now Alipay is offering promotional 40% discount if you purchase week long bus package. 30% off for metro/subway card. Discount valid for two trips a day for seven days.
Convenient and widely used by local commuters (younger professionals and students) for a good reason.

Endangered snub-nosed monkeys evade extinction
发布者Reddit serendipitously featured an adorable video of a snub-nosed monkey (endemic to SW China) on their front page, on the eve of Kunming's biodiversity conference tomorrow no less:

This fluffy one being hand-fed appears to be a Sichuan golden hair monkey (aka Sichuan snub-nosed monkey). Video, rather than images, truly captures their essence.
It appears GoKunming has featured these sub-nosed monkeys quite a bit over the past twelve years. Looks like conservation efforts to stave them from extinction panned out.

Flying Tigers memorial opening tomorrow
发布者Someone should let CNN know, Frank Losonsky died at age 99 earlier this year in February. Apparently he was the last remaining Flying Tiger.
Flying Tigers memorial opening tomorrow
发布者A lengthy piece on Flying Tigers just published on CNN. Also a short video showcasing one of the last three living volunteer pilots, a 96-year old Losonsky. Cool pictures of the cool P-40 fighter planes in air are featured too.
The article even briefly mentioned Kunming...
"Chennault expressed his disappointment at his group's first combat mission against Japanese bombers attacking the AVG base in Kunming, China, on December 20, 1941. He thought the pilots lost their discipline in the excitement of combat."

Letter from the editor: Kunming community spirit in times of Corona
发布者Our collective love for Spring City is what fuels our solidarity. Much love to all.
Kunming Aegean Shopping Mall is now offering surgical masks on their official Wechat account. 50 masks for 120 rmb. Delivered to your door for those who may need them. The price is reasonable considering widespread price gouging on ebay, amazon, and the likes.
Are you back yet JanJal? Your warm donuts and hot shower await.
