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.
Yunnan's largest hydroelectric dam goes online
发布者Does anyone have specific directions on how to visit this dam? Where exactly is it? I see a lookout point in the picture so I assume visitors can come.
Deputy mayor answers 12345 hotline
发布者I am glad to see more people get involved in their community and use this hotline. I was surprised to read that they receive 2000 calls each day.
I prefer to use the internet site - where I can receive a reply.

Video: Unseen Stone Forest
发布者The video is very informative but does NOT specifically tell you where these locations are located. The entrance ticket to SHI LIN (Stone Forest) is 175 Yuan. I prefer to buy an annual ticket for 200 Yuan and I can use it at any time during the year. Bring your passport and you can purchase an annual ticket which includes entrance to the MAJOR stone Forest, MINOR stone Forest, BU SHAO SHAN, LI ZI YUAN QING, WAN NIAN LING ZHI, and NAIGU stone Forest (Black Stone Forest).
Most of the footage on the video is of the Black Stone Forest. Few people know about it so each time I go, there are very few visitors, less than 5 people. This location has been completely renovated but it lacks many basics. However, There is NOWHERE to purchase any food or water anywhere in the entire park.
Another location seen in the Video is DA DIE SHUI Waterfall. This USED TO BE included in the price of the entrance ticket more than 1 year ago but it no longer is considered part of the Stone Forest. Presently, the waterfall scenic area is under renovation. The Waterfall is located more then 30 km away from the main park. 2 years ago, you can purchase tickets for the waterfall ONLY for 18 Yuan but I have no idea what the price will be after the renovation is complete.

Kunming's Red alley: Jiexiao Xiang
发布者I ASSUME that the writers and staff of GOKUNMING write these articles in an effort to inform the reader of an event or location of some significance in and around Kunming.
I find many of these articles lacking in vital information. In an attempt to be CREATIVE, the writers fail in being INFORMATIVE.
For example, the writers mentions Jiexiao Xiang many, many times but fails to tell the reader where this place is. Is it somewhere in Yunnan? Is it in Kunming? There are 5 districts in Kunming - is it in Pan long District? Or is it in one of the other 4 districts? Is there a major crossroad where this small alley can be found. Perhaps near Beijing Road or Guangfu Road.
I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I research many of the places I visit. But I really would like to read an article here and NOT be left with MORE questions than when I started.
I ask the staff of GOKunming to please be more specific when writing about places to visit and give SPECIFIC directions such as name of town or village and county and prefecture when writing. Thank you.
