Forums > Living in Kunming > Bring in Mangosteen from Thailand I have found that the vendors I use say jin, but actually mean gongjin. IE, the vendors confuse the two. Easy to check, by just repeating back using gongjin in your response. I have only ever had nods of agreement. I have not seen jin (500g) used for over 10 years.
Others may have had a different experience.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Wenshan/Malipo Travel Advice (Driver/Translator) Car, yes. You can always find a driver for a fee in towns. You might even get a daily rate from a taxi driver. Perhaps your friend knows someone, who knows someone, etc.
Translator, possibly not in Malipo. You will probably find a translator who is willing to travel with you from Kunming, if you pay for transport and accommodation. They will then be able to assist with getting train/bus tickets, hotel, etc.
Try putting a classified ad on Gokunming - Wanted Translator for travel in Wenshan.
I do see people advertising here who offer translation and assistance type help. Possibly uni students. You should get a response to an ad.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Bring in Mangosteen from Thailand Mangosteen are falling in price now as they are more in season. If the mangosteen you buy in Thailand tip you over your baggage allowance, they won't be cheap anymore.

Trafficking in endangered animals on the rise
发布者If the snow leopard pelt was real it would fetch a very high price and I doubt it would have been for sale on the street.
Although I agree, the Chinese are not very good at faking.
