Forums > Study > research in China Shanghai government is much more progressive, more open minded to outside ideas, and has a history of international co-operation at all levels. You are more likely to get support there.
Shanghai is a diverse city, with rural and urban poor, as well as rich middle class. There are all levels of society. A study in Shanghai may not be exactly what you want to do, but it looks like you are much more likely to be able to do it.
I don't know how much you know about the culture in China, but people do not like to say 'no', on most occasions you will just get no reply. Sound familiar? At least now it sounds like you have found a gatekeeper, or someone who knows one.
IMHO take what is on offer, especially if your timescale is limited. Otherwise you may well end up with nothing.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Sources of places of interest info I am looking around those, but Google Trips seems to be competition for tripadvisor, which is not really what I need.
The beauty of the old Panoramia, is that you could look on Google Earth at an area you will be travelling though, then select the picture icons to see what is in that area.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Sources of places of interest info I am looking for resources for trip planning. Google Earth used to be good for places of interest, using the Panoramia photo database, but Panoramia is no longer supported, and all of the images have gone; waiting to be replaced by new pics.
Some online tourist sites are worse than useless, as you get directed there from a search, but all the site has is hotels, that may actually be 10 km away.
Lonely planet is out of date and, in the digital age, does not seem to be relevant.
Does anyone know of any good sources for identifying places to visit in China.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Accomodation Registration Form The 24 hours is if the rules are applied strictly. I have returned on Fridays in the past. The police person who does the registration is off on the weekend and we have never had a problem registering within the week.
One time I forgot to re-register after a trip to HK. I remembered and registered about 2 months later. They were more irritated about having to do the paperwork, than bothered about the late registration. I ended up only paying one day fine.
Governor: Provincial highway bathrooms China's worst
发布者They know how to flush, they just don't want to because the toilet is a dirty place. Self fulfilling cycle. But hey! it then becomes someone elses problem.

发布者They will be high anyway.
Jinghong farmer trampled to death by elephant
发布者The problem is not the elephants. Sadly the authorities will see the opposite.
Massive financial center announced for Wujiaba
发布者I think the airport mentioned here will be for heliport and small private planes of the corporate variety.
This may be linked up to the plans for the area east of Dianchi Lu and north of Guangfu Lu that was previously earmarked for new financial district.
BUT at least Shanghai Tongji know what they are doing. It just depends on whether the local gumint will listen to their advice.
Report: Yunnan bonds shaky
发布者The non protected thing was the issue with HuaXia Bank scandal. It was likened to a Ponzi. People lost huge amounts and it killed the market.
CMB is big enough to have the assets to cover any potential losses, and has decided that the only way to have a wealth management product that sells is to guarantee the principle. To not honor the promise would be damaging to the CMB brand and would cost them more money than swallowing the loss.
IMHO. Because of the nature of CMB's core business, and their place in the market, they can be trusted. Unlike smaller banks like HuaXia.
