Thanks all.
Imported usualy dont last, they get black as soon as there soft...
I'll see if I can get some here in KM next summer.
I love Mexican food parties!!
Does the avocado tree grow here? Do they have plantations ??
I havent seen much as a western style scrap yard for cars, evrything seems to be scattered in individual garages.
I know there is one scrapyard though, studying for the drivers test is the section for scraping a car judged unfit for road use...imagine that!
So the only clue I have to offer is look at the vehicle registration department...
I'll soon have a beijing Jeep and will eventualy need parts, many 4wd clubs exist..
Hi Maude
I've been hiking and exploring the mountains around Kunming for paragliding sites to fly.
There are beautiful areas just on the outskirts of the city, N,W and E .
Almost every mountain/hills have trails .
North, Ci Ba, pine covered hills and steep valeys with nice views. I go with my electric bicycle or bus.
My favorite is Liang Wan Shan, near Cheng Jiang.
.. 1 hour by car to get there though.
I got plenty of photos of all areas and some are online here www.paraglidingearth.com/en-html/index.php?region=1051#here
I need to explore 2 mountains this winter / spring, one north of Yang Zhong hai and the other is west of Fuming.
I'm always looking for someone to split the taxi..

The kunming city air is OK compared to Xi An and eastern coast cities and countryside....I've been there too
The Kunming countryside air is very clean and clear, enjoyable....
I teach english in private schools, we can talk....
I'm a permanent resident..
No results found.
Overall good selection for creating basic "heavy / thick / bulky" furniture.
Clean, quiet, everything I needed, good location, well priced.
Went the other night, it was very late therefore I cant coment on the food but it did smell very good..
Cozy atmosphere and very friendly host.
Will return again now that it's found!
Icing on the cake for Kunming as a concept!

NGO sues Yunnan dam developer over environmental degradation
发布者Geologically, the Yangtze (Jinsha) river used to flow in this valley until the upwards thrust of the yunnan plateau diverted the Yangtze towards shanghai where it presently flows. Sediments cores provide an 11 million year date for the divergence.

Stone Age graveyard discovered in Yunnan's Chuxiong Prefecture
发布者@ Bilingualexpat my thoughts exactly, but in addition, it may show how important Yunnan was in the copper and tin trade, aka bronze trade via rivers flowing to southern cities such as Ankor Watt and other sea side trade centers.
Paragliding high above Tiger Leaping Gorge
发布者KC430,
You are correct on photos....
These mountains had never been flown above their summits with a paraglider wing' let alone cross the gorge and continue to Shangrila in a narrow and marginal weather window. Many in china claimed it was impossible but i knew it's no different than any other location on this planet..
It's sad a few uneducated police officers interpret and apply china's aviation laws to paragliding . The police interpret Nick flying a 747 towards the china/Tibet border but, officially; paragliding is recognized as a sport, not a full sized airplane by the Chinese government, including CAAC.
Nick is a very talented and experienced athlete, Thumbs up for Nick's route..
