I am looking for a good karaoke place with English songs. I am not sure if this is possible in Kunming, but I would prefer a place with rooms that do have the cigarette odor.
Try the food market at Wujinglu (吴井路) 3rd floor.
Do you know any good (not too basic) accomodation in Zhongdian/Shangri-la? Any contact info to four wheel drivers drivers? Any recommendations for side trips?
Will be grateful for any advice and contact info.

Thank you Adam. This is very helpful. Do you have any tips on how long it takes to drive from Baoshan to Dimaluo assuming one hires a car and does not stop for side trips?
And having asked the question above, what interesting side trips on the way would you recommend?

Four of my family and friends are coming to Kunming and I am to organise a 1.5-2 week trek for them in early May. The timing is not ideal. There is snow on some roads in the north of Yunnan I am told (north of Nu Canyon) and I cannot find any ethnic group festivals around that time.
I am considering three options and would like to ask for your advice on them:
1. Trek from Nu Canyon to Mekong river Canyon, but I am not sure if the mountain pass is trekkable in early May.
2. Tengchong. I only know of main attractions there.
3. Lugu Hu trek from the Yunnanese shore of the lake to Sichuan, towards Da Liangshan
My friends have seen quite a bit of the world and for me, I have traveled a lot in China and it is also going to be my holiday, so I want to make the trip interesting.
Any suggestions/advice on weather, interesting places, local people we can rent horses from, monasteries where you can stay overnight, etc, will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Marta
