Forums > Travel Yunnan > Shaxi from Qiantou The new highway from Dali or Lijiang can take you to Jian Chuan where you can visit the 1000 Lion Mountain, Jian Chuan Old Town, Shaxi Old Town, and Stone Treasure Mount (Shi Bao Shan).
You can rent a taxi from Jianchuan for 200 Yuan. The taxi will take you to all 3 temples in Stone Treasure Mount and bring you back to Jianchuan. - You can also do the entire loop for 250 Yuan. Jianchuan to Shi Bao Shan then on to Shaxi and then back to Jianchuan.
I recommend you stay an extra day and climb 1000 Lion Mountain. I really like this place.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Shaxi from Qiantou 桥头 qiaotou - is NOT the same as Qiantou.
Do you mean the Qiaotou in Hu Tiao Xia in Shan Gri La in Diqing? Near Tiger Leaping Gorge.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutiaoxia_Town
Tiger Leaping Gorge is at the border between Lijiang and Diqing. If this is where you are then follow the advice given to you above by Voltaire.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Shaxi from Qiantou If you gave us the chinese would be most helpful.
If you told us where it is would be most helpful.
Is it in Dali or Lijiang or Sichuan, etc?
Most people know where Jianchuan and Shaxi is but most people have no idea what/where Qiantou is.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Beijing by train huoche.911cha.com/Z162.html - Did I miss something or did I include this link in my previous post.
I think checking the train website I posted above will generate more speedy and accurate results rather than coming to ask this same question in this forum. It is a great website to save to your favorites.
However, if feeling bored and lonely because of lack of friends or spouse (social interaction), I guess this is probably the best way to garner some attention.
This thread is about the train schedule to Beijing. Stay on topic and stop. . . Haha!!!

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.
