This certificate is now required both in and out of China. Your case is a good example of needing this certificate when you lived or worked in another province in China. There are a few people on the enclosed thread who had this done through an agency. I did mine in person but I realize you are trying to avoid the trip to Shanghai.
For anyone who plans to move to another province, make sure you get your certificate before you leave as you will eventually need it.
I am sure this warning will be ignored and another thread will pop up soon asking how to do this AFTER the person has left the province or left China. Saved for posterity.

In China, same as any other place in the world, you can buy a ticket at any time - provided there are empty seats and you are willing to pay the price the airlines ask for.
My suggestion is to come to China and leave your plans intact. Just be prepared to make changes as needed because of weather.
Hugo's Travel Rules:
1 - never book rooms in advance - there will always be rooms to be had and when you purchase from abroad you pay more anyway. Reservations can not be changed and you will lose money because REFUNDS do not happen in China.
I once saw some fools in Lijiang with their usual double backpacks in Old town. They were looking for a particular guesthouse I never heard of before. I told them to pick any along the way because they are all the same. They said they already paid (stupid). 2 hours later, after my wife and I already got a room and were walking around and relaxing we saw the same double backpack fools still looking for the mysterious guesthouse.
Reservations means I have to be at a certain place on a given day. That means I can not alter my itinerary along the way because I can not get my money back. In the end I pay twice. In 12 years I have never made a reservation in China or in Yunnan and there is always a room for me. I usually pay anywhere from 150-200 Yuan for a room.
Travel is meant to be enjoyed. Do not limit yourself and put so many restrictions on yourself.
I am a Marine and trekking means walking, hiking, or as we Marines call it, humping. I can walk, hike, trek in Lijiang Old Town for hours and get lost in the many small alleys along the way. I can also trek along the many mountains and with many beautiful views on a sunny day. I do not have to walk, hump or trek specifically at Tiger Leaping Gorge on a specific rainy day.
It is all a matter of choice and more choices makes travel more fun. Be prepared and be flexible and you will not have any problems.

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.

发布者The new cards can be used on both the subway and the buses. However, the 20 Yuan deposit is NOT refundable. This is a recent scam I discovered recently when I turned in my old bus card to get the new subway + bus card. If you do not beleive me - go ask for yourself. You are charged 1 Yuan every month until the 20 Yuan deposit is depleted.

发布者GK still has not learned to give specific information when writing articles. Where in the world is FuYuan County? It would be nice if the writers did a little research and gave the specific location of this county. Is it Wenshan? Qujing? Where?

Yunnan reopens 13 international border crossings
发布者Yunnan reopens 13 international border crossings - although the title of the article claims 13 International borders have been opened, I find it very hard to believe that they are in fact International and Not Local borders.
Recently I have seen many post regarding Myanmar with much heresay and conjecture being passed with the sole exception of Peter99 who has actually crossed the border and knows what he is talking about. Of the 13 borders mentioned above, 5 are for Myanmar. Lets see if one of those posters makes their way to one of these small borders and tries to cross into Myanmar without success.
The Hekou border in Honghe has always been opened and is certainly an International border. I have no idea why this border is mentioned as one of the 13 borders that has been RE-opened.
The Border in Mohan, Mengla, Xishuangbanna has also always been opened and is certainly an International border. Again, no idea why this border is mentioned as being RE-opened.
I caution anyone who wants to use any of the borders mentioned here to go verify the information at the appropropriate Consulate.
