Updates for inbound flights to China:
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) announced today that China now requires negative COVID-19 test for arriving air passengers. Negative test results must be presented prior to boarding...
"Nucleic acid tests must be completed within five days of embarkation."
Moreover, "tests should be conducted at facilities designated or recognized by Chinese embassies in host countries."

Alibaba’s Hema/盒马/Freshippo supermarket chain in Shanghai (50 store locations) will start selling Beyond Meat’s plant-based burger patties this Saturday. To be sold in 48 more Hema locations in Beijing and Hangzhou by September. If test test markets do well, hopefully they will arrive in Kunming in the near future.
Given discovery of new strains of swine flu, alternative meat products may bode well.
You're right, rules keep changing.
"The United States and China will each allow four weekly flights between the two countries, the U.S. Transportation Department said on Monday, easing a standoff on travel restrictions in the midst of the novel coronavirus pandemic...
Following China's agreement to allow four U.S. flights total, Delta said it would operate two flights to Shanghai from Seattle next week and once weekly flights from Seattle and Detroit beginning in July, all via Seoul.
United said it was aiming to re-launch service to China in the weeks ahead."
Thanks for the updates, both SPoproy and AlPage48. Looks like you two might have bumped into each other at the PSB.

Lugu Lake airport officially opens for business
发布者@HFCAMPO
Having contacted Lugu Lake government portals on WeChat and verified again by telephone, they now officially accept foreign travelers. On paper, they denied entry of foreigners a while back due to the pandemic.
One-way direct flight from Kunming to Lugu Lake via Lucky Air ranges from $220 to $290 (excluding $50 airport taxes) depending on dates. Airport buses to lake bus terminal cost $30/pax, approximately an one hour duration. Other cities that could fly to Lugu Lake besides Kunming are Chongqing and Chengdu.
Lake sightseeing buses that drive around the entire lake, which starts in Yunnan and crosses over to Sichuan Province and back, takes a total of four hours. 2/3 of lake is supposedly in the territory of Sichuan, 1/3 in Yunnan (the more scenic). Two daily departure bus times, once in the morning and once at noon. $60/pax for two-day all-you-can-ride scenic bus pass.
Lugu Lake buses to Lijiang takes approximately four hours, halving the driving time in the past due to new roads.

Yunnan choreographer Yang Liping gracefully weathers online storm
发布者A few days ago on June 30, Yang Liping officially unveiled her Yunnan Dali Grand Theater (杨丽萍大剧院) to the world. An architectural feat of beauty. She may not pass on her legacy in blood, but definitely in her artistic spirit.
