Work ($) for an NGO or volunteer (Free) ?
The pictures of Baoshan are posted on the link above. The Nasty road to Lugu Lake has been under construction for the last 8 years. I know because I have used it several times since 2004.
The road from Ning La to LuguLake (75 km) is just about finished although there was an interuption in work due to the recent earthquake a few months back.
Both roads (Long and Short Route) are relatively new and in good condition. Only the 26 km road from Lijiang to Lugu lake is a mess.
The days of lockers in airports and bus stations is long gone. Leave a bag unattended at an airport or bus station and see what happens? The sick people who run the govt see a locker as a place to keep a bomb nowadays so they have all been removed.
For a fee, you can leave luggage at the Left Luggage Office.

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.

Photograph and record the owner and store and let them know if they have any of these products ever again they will go to jail or get the death penalty. Problem solved. Same for ivory and other items.
