Anyone with a 10 yr visa should know that they must exit the country very 60-90-180 days. Few are so lucky as to get 180 days. So be prepared to go to Laos, Vietnam, and Hong Kong again and again. Only time will tell which is more time consuming and which is more expensive.
What really surprises me about this ignorant statement is that Geezer has a son who is in the Marine Corps. Is your son not entitled to reveiving a pension if he chooses or is able to complete 20 years of service? Is he taking something that is not rightfully his if he chooses to stay in and retire after 20 years?
Are all workers who work for 20-30 years not entitled to receive a pension or social security at a certain age. So factory workers, railroad workers, firemen, policemen, govt employees, company employees and all the other millions of people of who work their entire lives for a pension are all TAKING money from the USA.
I will not even bother to reply to the other ignorant comment.
As always, the same people who love to hijack threads - the topic is torrents.
Hong Kong has a very strong movie industry as does Bollywood in India, yet they are not crusading to seize and imprison those who offer free movies to others. They are not out to save the world or protect their rich friends from some poor slob cheating them of some royalties.
How does the film industry make money - by ticket sales. But since the country is bankrupt and people can not afford to go to a movie any more they must resort to watching movies online since they are living in poverty or below the poverty line.
Or they are so poor and can not find a job so they must move their entire family to China because they can not make it in the good old USA.
Live and let live!
Here we go again. Live and let live.
Most people are creatures of habit which limits their growth severely. Every time I go to HK I make it a point to use a different entry/exit point so I can know all the surrounding area and where each exit will bring me.
If you are short on cash, HK is not the place to go. Trains charge by distance, so the further you go the more you pay. Keep a lot of loose change in hand. First time I visited I was amazed at how the taxi meter moved and the fares kept rising right in front of my eyes.
Good side is there of plenty to eat anywhere and everywhere but prices are much higher than good old Kunming.
Expect to go into many (mansions) hotels to ask for rates and then walk out to look for another.
No results found.
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.

Good luck
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.
