I'm particularly fond of this one: www.gokunming.com/[...]

Maybe say "erhuan xi lu bei duan"... if the driver is still unclear, maybe add "maiche de na tiao lu" as there are several car dealerships there.
Unfortunately the new elevated second ring road makes it difficult to take good photos of him now.
A couple of organizations come to mind:

Leprosy is still an issue in this part of the country, there's a group called Joy in Action that works with communities affected by leprosy in SW China:
There have been some Vietnamese establishments in Kunming over the past few years including one behind the Worker's Cultural Palace on Baoshan Jie and also a small place behind the Wenlin PSB on Wenhua Xiang. Unfortunately none of the places I've become aware of have managed to stay in business.
As I understand it, the Vietnamese population in Kunming is one of the largest of any country represented here... perhaps the majority of Vietnamese living here are students or are working for Vietnamese companies.
Regardless of why there is almost no Vietnamese food here, I'm guessing that there are a lot of people who would be happy to see a Vietnamese restaurant open up shop.
No results found.
Happy ninth birthday Sal, you've made Kunming a better place.
Four stars for a great restaurant with friendly staff.
I give Tusheng Shiguan a fifth star for its goal of promoting environmentally sound food production.
My favorite Tengchong-style restaurant in Kunming. Their ersi and erkuai are trucked over from Tengchong and are the real deal — Kunming ersi and erkuai do not compare.
The restaurant itself is a bit jumbled, but there are a couple of tables outside in the courtyard that are nice to sit at when the weather's pleasant.
Don't believe them when they say they don't have lufu.
Tom and Jiajia have been baking up a storm lately. Thanks to them I have delicious sourdough bread to toast on the space heater in the office.
The Bircher muesli is probably the healthiest and most delicious breakfast around.
Pound for pound, one of the best little Western restaurants in China. 佳佳万岁！
Just had gnocchi in mushroom sauce and a glass of wine for dinner on the balcony in mid-January. Awesome.
Fog shuts down Kunming airport, strands thousands
Posted byJust came back from the airport for the second day in a row... my 10pm flight was delayed to 11:30 and it seemed like no flights were managing to take off. Didn't want to spend another five hours at the airport waiting for my flight to be canceled, so I left.
There were several departure gates with angry crowds wanting to get out of Kunming. One small group was chanting "We want to go home!", they were being escorted away from their departure gate by the fuzz.
I saw a few lines of 50 or more people waiting for hot water to drink or for instant noodles. The airport's food and beverage facilities were doing brisk business.
I called the flight info hotline (96566) several times before going to the airport and after arriving and it was out of service.
Given the state of the airport tonight, I would suggest that anyone with flights tomorrow assume that there is a chance your flight will be delayed or canceled tomorrow. If there's any way to avoid checking luggage, I would recommend it. Should your flight be canceled, you won't be in the mood to wait an additional hour or two for your bags.
Interview: Deng Ling
Posted by@blobbles: No changes to the article text were made.
Deng Ling requested a different photo at the top of the story because she said the original pic, which I shot the day before she left for London, made her look "like the old woman on the Hongdouyuan sign".
Anyway, I passed her request on to current GK management and they kindly complied.
Forest fire burns near Kunming
Posted byThursday we were wondering why the haze was so bad despite reports that the fire had been extinguished... until we saw this:
"A forest fire in southwest China's Yunnan Province started again Thursday morning, the local forest fire prevention headquarters said Thursday.
The fire was rekindled in Wangjiatan forest in Anning, a county-level city on the outskirts of the provincial capital of Kunming. The fire is currently under control, and nearby villages haven't been impacted, Cao Long, chief of the Yunnan forest armed police said."
