Benefit show this Sunday night at Speakeasy Bar: www.gokunming.com/[...]
There are plans for an earthquake benefit event in the coming days... watch this space and the GoKunming blog for details.
Anybody know where to get veggie dumplings other than the Dongbei Jiaozi shop on Wenhua Xiang or Yuquanzhai next to Yuantong Temple? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keats tries to be an all-inclusive school that takes care of all of your needs. From what I can tell, they do a decent job of it, but at a much higher cost than you'd incur by going to another school and living on your own. That said, if you're looking for everything to be taken care of you when you first arrive, Keats is probably an ok option.
My friend who went there said she was glad she spent her first couple of weeks in Kunming there, but she said the school's director became irate with her when she decided to leave so she could live by herself and study somewhere cheaper.
Hope that helps.
There aren't any Esso gas stations in Kunming, just Sinopec and Challenge, I believe
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.
Giveaway: Hand treatments at Canaan Day Spa
Posted byCongratulations to Michelle He and Zhong Yue, who were the first two readers to correctly answer that Ashima (阿诗玛) was the Yunnanese heroine who legend says became one of the pillars at Stone Forest.
Thanks to Canaan Day Spa for providing the hand treatments and to all the women who responded. Look out for more giveaways on GoKunming in the future!

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.
