Forums > Living in Kunming > Changing CNY to $$$ Bridge. I am sure you have been to this area before. It is about a 40 minute walk from where you are. At Ren Min Middle Road turn onto Dong Feng Road and reach the end to nanping Jie - There is a big plaza and you can not miss the big Bank of China.
These women earn a small profit from changing money and they do not want to ruin their business by passing counterfit notes. I tried changing money in the bank once and took nearly an hour. The women outside the bank will change money is less than 5 minutes. They only speak one phare in English - Change Money.
Ignore the comment made by Alien - this is NOT where you change money. Let me summarize what Alien previously wrote -I don't know the differences but my impression is that exchange rates don't vary much, so anyplace is okay, at least if you want US$.

Bus 82, 84 - Nanping Jie. Read the thread I provided with more specific directions. I have never been cheated by these women and their rates are much better than inside the bank. I have exchanged, RMB, Laos Kip, Vietnam Dong, Euros, and Dollars.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Salt - Old Towns in Yunnan Bao Feng is very nice and it is also the hometown of Dong Ze - the founder of Yunnan University. Lots of history for those who have interest. 3 small children gave a us a tour of the old town and then the father of one of the girls gave us a ride to a nearby covered bridge - Great experience!

Once a pariah, China's orange king now adapting to digital age
发布者- Once convicted of embezzling.
- He was prosecuted for embezzling 1.1 billion yuan (US$174 million).
- serving three years of a life sentence.
- Chu is founder and CEO of a Yuxi-based fruit company.
- His orchard's success in breeding and growing specialty oranges has led to a common problem in China — copycat competitors.
A thief who does not like other thiefs - serves him right. Where did he get the money to start his fruit business? Obviously he stole more than what was initially believed and he was able to stash it where no one could get to it.
Why isn't this guy rotting in prison somewhere rather than getting rich again?
