Forums > Travel Yunnan > Pu Zhe Hei - Wenshan Scam I have visted Pu Zhe Hei many times in the last 8 years and and I have watched the ticket prices go up from 60 Yuan to 100 Yuan, to 160 Yuan and now to 200 Yuan. I know because I always keep my ticket stubs.
The 200 price includes a 30 minute boat ride on the river and entrance to 3 caves. I only discovered on my last trip that one does NOT have to purchase any tickets to get inside. The tickets are only for the boat ride and the caves.
Anyone can walk and take pictures anywhere without purchasing the tickets and there is no one to ask to show your tickets. I usually arrive in Qiu Bei in the evening drive 30 minutes to Pu Zhe Hei and get a room at any of the guesthouses there. In the morning I am free to roam where I please and I have no need to purchase any tickets.

Forums > Living in Kunming > GoKunming feedback Wow!!! that was fast - Why verification?
In the near future GoKunming will require all users to verify their email address to prevent fake account registrations and spam.
Yesterday afternoon I wrote to the GoKunming staff regarding this same question I posted above. When I tried to post the above comment a few minutes ago I was surprised to see this new verification.
Although I did not receive an answer to my question yesterday I feel this new process has answered my question.
I still have the same question as AlexKMG about deleting posts without notification. A locked thread can still be read and the last statement at the bottom reads locked thread. No reason is required, this is the right of the GoKunming staff and in most cases the reason for the locked thread is self evident - stupidity. But when posts are deleted, there is no way to see them again and no reason is given.
Forums > Living in Kunming > GoKunming feedback @AlexKMG - "Whats this about deleting posts???" I am Not a computer guru so I hope someone can help me with a reply. I am wondering if the moderators of this forum know when a user creates multiple usernames?
I have been in Kunming for 7 years and have this same account since 2009. Since then I only made 43 posts to this forum but in the last month I have jumped to over 90, most of which I directed to Crazy.Laowai and pleaded with him in one case to stop his rantings because I noticed his posts were getting locked and made numerous comments about increasing censorship.
Back to my question - Is this the same person creating new accounts?
Can WE, the public be informed who they are as they have already been banned? Will this violate their privacy? I directed my question to you Alex because you previously inquired about deleted posts without notification which can longer be found.

Chinese consumers of rare animals now face prison
发布者I have no idea where this little fellow came from. He came from under some bushes near the entrance to our apartment. Maybe someone was keeping him in a garage and he got away or he was released from fear of getting caught.
Zhiziluo: Yunnan's mountaintop ghost town
发布者I was here in 2009. Actually the best way to get there is to go from Dali or Baoshan. When you arrive in Liuku you can take a bus to Pihe. In Pihe you can rent a minivan to take you up to the top of the hill. This will save you a lot of money because the distance from Pihe is much shorter then from Liuku.
Chinese academic ponders globe-spanning railways
发布者Researchers at Southwest Jiaotong University in China are developing (as of 2010) a vactrain to reach speeds of 1,000 km/h (620 mph). They say the technology can be put into operation in 10 years.
These trains have been in use for many years in the DUMB found in the US.
Chinese consumers of rare animals now face prison
发布者I told my wife to call the police because I remember reading this article. She called the police and a few minutes later, a woman from the Rare animal protection Bureau called my wife. The police arrived and took the critter away before my neighbor got his grubby hands on it.
The woman from the Protection Bureau called again and told my wife that they would pick up the little critter the next morning from the police station.
Apparantly, someone from the police station called the protection Bureau. I was surprised my wife got the call and also surprised that she told us what she was going to do.
This is the number of the woman (LIU) from the protection Bureau who called my wife - 18082722065.

发布者A few minutes ago I saw one of these little beasts in my residential quarter. We called the police immediately so they can come pick him up. I had a arguement with someone in my residential quarter who was trying to take him away in a bag before the police arrived.
