I'd be pretty surprised if it is available in Kunming, but if anyone can tell me where to buy tempeh I'll be in your debt forever.

Thanks!

I never thought much of the Panlong River as a running option until I tried it out for the first time recently. I'd recommend starting around where the river meets Erhuan Bei Lu and heading north until you can't run anymore.

Pros: wide sidewalks and (yes, it's true) a few km of dirt trails to run on, very few cross streets, loads of trees and green space, very few people on the sidewalks, the river gets gradually nicer the further you go

Cons: some of the walkways that you can take along the riverside have 'hotspots' of human piss and shit (usually at the bottom of a stairwell), the river does stink a bit (but it's much better than it used to be and seems to be improving), crossing Linyu Lu is all kindsa mafan unless you're willing to hop the traffic barrier in the middle of the road

All in all, a nice run and a good way to explore northern Kunming, which is changing at a speed that is nothing short of insane.

Congratulations to Karen Song, the first to reply that Geoffrey Chaucer was the medieval poet credited with linking St Valentine's Day with romance.

Stay on the lookout for more giveaways on GoKunming in the near future!

I can't help but agree with EK Kadiddlehopper. An efficient regional rail network would be good for many of the people in China/SE Asia/South Asia who have yet to see the benefits of their respective countries' recent opening up.

Oddly, this train may be one of Kunming's better places for a picnic. Inspired by Quester, I rode it again this afternoon with a friend, who brought a nice wine and some freshly baked bread. We hung out on the sunny side of the train with the windows open and shot the breeze as the empty Chinese New Year version of Kunming rolled by... good fun.

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.
