There are several tasty Yunnan recipes written by our old friend Guo Duomi, filed under the Yunnan cuisine tag here: www.gokunming.com/en/blog/tag/2/Yunnan+cuisine
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:

There's also Daytop, which is focused on HIV/AIDS prevention with regard to intravenous drug use:

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.

Keep up the good work!
Snapshot: Shaxi
Posted by@voltaire: You're right, Shibao Mountain is deserving of a mention in any Shaxi travel piece. We mentioned Shibao Mountain in our earlier Shaxi travel feature:
www.gokunming.com/en/blog/item/1937/getting_away_shaxi
I'd have included photos of the grottoes in that post, but as you know, taking photos there is not allowed.
As the "Snapshot" in the title of this post suggests, this piece is more of a short photo essay than it is a comprehensive travel feature.
Starbucks' thirst for Yunnan coffee growing
Posted by@JLG: If coffee plantations do significantly reduce the amount of tea grown in Pu'er, it is likely to only lead to higher tea prices followed by increased tea planting and another tea bubble.
