Great veggies! I've been eating peas from the pod all evening. Also I made a mean stir-fry with some red cabbage, pea shoots, garlic, and Chinese cooking wine.

That's the one. If you follow Yieryi Dajie south-southwest past the traffic circle/overpass it becomes Huancheng Xi Lu...so yeah you're on the right track. Stadium is the one on the east side of the road, and athletic center is the one on the west side, I think.
No results found.
I had a really good burger here recently. Steven, the chef, really knows what he is doing. Worth checking out. Of course, good beer, too.
Cantina is always a safe bet for top-notch food and great service. I think it has actually gotten better and better over the years, which is often not the case with restaurants. Most people who live in Kunming know Cantina. Perhaps not as many know how involved the owners, Libby and Diego, are in various social welfare and community service efforts. Highly recommended both for visitors and long-term residents!
I went there twice for group boxing classes. I left the third time when I was attempting to book into a grappling class. This was part of an attempted process on my part to try the different classes offered there and see if I wanted to purchase one of their various membership cards.
The boxing classes were fun, a great workout, and the coaches and fellow students were all nice. A good atmosphere. Certainly room for improvement, especially in terms of explaining the class structure and fundamental concepts of the sports to beginners...but overall good.
However, on front desk staff member erased the positive aspects of the gym through his unprofessional and rude conduct. I was treated like some sort of con-man for wanting to try out the different classes offered before committing to multi-thousand RMB membership card, despite my willingness to pay per class to try them out. I wasted my time riding over to the gym on a very cold day on my scooter and then being refused service unless I committed on the spot to buying a membership card in direct contradiction to the gym's own policies and written price table. Also wasted was my friend's time and money, as she was in a cab on the way over to the gym in order to join me for the group class at the time I was refused service. My exchange with the staff (in which I was not terribly satisfied, but remained calm and reasonable throughout) was topped off with a remark from the one particular staff member with xenophobic undertones.
As one may see from my other reviews on this site, I typically try not to say anything unless I have something nice to say. In this case, I feel I must make an exception: I don't think it's a business that deserves your effort or money.
One of the best western restaurants in Yunnan. Definitely worth visiting if you will be passing through Shangrila!
The best tacos in Kunming!

Getting away: Haba Snow Mountain
Posted byAlso, as in many alpine environments, conditions can in a matter of minutes go from clear blue skies to not being able to see more than a few meters in front of oneself. One should also be wary of cornices, especially as you get to the top of the big, steep snow field and start traversing to the right along the ridgeline and toward the summit. Stay well to the side that you climbed up from and don't get to close to the far side of the ridge, as I don't think there's actually anything underneath much of that snow.
