I took the subway as always heading towards Lianda, but the subway stopped at Chunrong Jie where everyone was asked to disembark. I must admit this was my first time to stop there when I noticed they already have the third track installed and ready to go.
looks like the line to the CRH will be running by the December deadline.
Sidenote: The Pan Jia Wan area is not being repaved and ready for traffic. Thank goodness as this was causing major delays heading into Xiao Xi Men. Can't wait for the rest of Ren Min West Road to be repaved.
For those who use the subway often like me, perhaps you have noticed that there is a recent addition to the subway diagrams just above the doors of the trains.
In the diagram there is a new line that connects to the Chunrong St exit. Of course that line is not in use yet but it leads to the new Kunming South Railway Station just 4 stops away.
I went to the train station a few days ago and noticed that the security check is now on the street in front of the Big Bull Statue. I can finally take a picture of the bull without all the people standing around it.
I have seen many changes over the last 10 years here in Kunming. Although smoking still has a long way to go, it is much improved than it was in the past.
Most taxis are now 100% smoke free. Street buses are 100% smoke free now. Long distance buses are also 100% smoke free. The only problem still seems to be the small buses that go to the villages.
My wife just translated this article for me. This is our little critter as it mentions our residential quarter. Glad to see he has a few more days of life in the wilderness before someone else recaptures him.
The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.

Yunnan's Stone Treasure: Shibao Mountain
发布者You can rent a taxi from Jianchuan for 200 Yuan. The taxi will take you to all 3 temples and bring you back to Jianchuan.
You can also do the entire loop for 250 Yuan. Jianchuan to Shi Bao Shan then on to Shaxi and then back to Jianchuan.
I recommend you stay an extra day and climb 1000 Lion Mountain. I really like this place.
