it's not been fully launched yet, but GoKunming Mobile m.gokunming.com might come in handy here - among other things, it has a listings search with addresses in Chinese. just show your phone to the taxi driver.

if you don't have a phone that can go online, you can print from GoKunming's regular listings at www.gokunming.com/en/listings/city/kunming/

GoKunming is a site about Kunming and Yunnan. As moonpie alludes to, GoKunming wishes to stay unblocked, and feels that it has a duty to its community and its advertisers in this regard. There are more appropriate places to discuss contentious subjects.

You ad remains up in the appropriate part of the site: www.gokunming.com/en/classifieds/folder/2/jobs_offered Please don't spam GoKunming.

We've added a listing for the visa office, with map point: www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/pub_31693/

The listings section is the best place for reviews.

timkunming's review is at: www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/ban_81/

www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/kun_58/ is the main branch of KCELC. there's a map marker on that page, and a somewhat tidier version of the English address.

a less talked-about option for Chinese study is www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/kus_31661/. this place is less central, but works well if you choose to live in the north.
