I just read that the Chengdu bus fire that killled 27 people was casued by gasoline that a passenger brought onto the bus.
WHY THE HELL DOES ANY PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IN CHINA ALLOW PEOPLE TO CARRY GASOLINE?????????
How stupid is that? Make them take a taxi if they got to carry propane or gasoline around. Besides we have too many taxis anyway.

Correction....... The Yunnan Red Winery is about 9 km south of Mile.
The Yunnan Red Winery is about 9m south of Mile. Head toward the stone forest and take the exit before Shilin which puts you on the Highway to Mile. When you get to Mile, just don't exit the highway and continue. You will see the sign directing you to the winery. From the winery, you can actually see Mile across the valley. so it is not far. The trip will take about 2 hrs driving from Kunming.
atomic, I have to disagree about your wine comment. I also gave up on finding any decent Chinese wine until I happen to visit the Yunnan Red Wine winery, just a few hours from Kunming.
I did a lot of wine tasting at this very nice winery, and discovered a red that is to die for. It is not sold outside the winery except in Mile at a few restaurants. 2003 vintage "French Wild" is the name. 198 RMB a bottle.
They also produce a white wine called "Cyrstal Dry White 99999" 2006 vintage. This stuff is the most unusual white I ever drank. The bouquet is amazing. Sort of a cross between Mosel and ice wine. Hard to describe, but it is also only available at the winery. They called it a "ladies wine". It goes for 140 RMB a bottle. They also have a Crystal Dry White 999 that is 40 RMB, but is NOT the same thing. I think it is a 2008 vintage. Pass on that one.
Yunnan Red Wine is the only winery in China that has it's own vineyards and produces it's wine 100% from it's own grapes. It's worth a trip if you are into good wine.

Crap, evil, liars, unprofessional, expensive, no customer service comes to mind when I think of B&Q.
I have to agree with splitopen. This place is not worth the long drive to get there whatsoever. Crazy expensive and the play is boring. It looks thrown together and poorly built. The employees are rude. They obviously don't like their jobs. For the prices they charge, it is a rip off. I give it a few months before Hello! Haigeng Minigolf Park is just a memory.
Dr Doom, This is not the US so, yes, 40 kuai IS too much! Next time your are there, count how many Chinese customers they have. This business seems to promote an elitist attitude which I do not care for. A foreign owned business setting pricing to exclude locals is not a place I would support.
BTW, it was open in Nov, and it sounds like your are the one who owns this place......pretty lame.
The food is expensive with small portions. Quality is poor and the service is not so good. I think the servers are not happy working there which shows in their attitude. I would not recommend this place at all.

发布者500 billion yuan to spend for cleanup? Well that would mean about 100 billion to actually be spend on the pollution.

Kunming ranks fifth nationally in expat poll
发布者I've been here 8 years. I would say that Kunming would only be an average pick for a location to live in China. Yunnan is a great province for enjoying "natural China", so by default that means living in Kunming.
Sadly, the expansion and changes here have been mostly negative. Unplanned construction, pollution, traffic, local corruption continues unchecked in Kunming. This really knocks down Kunming as a preferred destination for anyone. This poll sounds like just another sham to attract tourists to this area.
My optimistic belief is that in 7-10 years Kunming will settle down and tweak itself into a front runner city for living. It has a way to go at it's present state. I'll be patient and continue to live here and wait and see. To that end, I'm moving out to Chonggong where I bought property. Living IN the city is not that great. I often travel out of here, and so Kunming is an ideal base for that. If I had to stay here (and work) on a daily basis, that would be a very hard pill to swallow.
Now with the new petrochemical plant firing up.........that may well squash any chance of "Kunming" and "natural beauty" being used in the same sentence.
In the meantime I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.
