Nice airport, but the kinks still need to be sorted out. If you can, I suggest carry on only to ease the experience of a new airport.

I think most of the comments here are spot on. But it's true that if you fly further south towards SE Asia, the beaches become increasingly more beautiful. That said, some of the private beaches of the 5 star resorts (along Yalong Bay) are done exquisitely. That will cost a bit more, which is better when enjoyed on the corporate account or splurging for special occasions.
Is the other website run by the local government? It may be valuable to start browsing both websites, as they each offer unique content. Seemed like a fun event.
Hey guys, what are your opinions on good gifts to take to Shanghai or abroad? I've been looking around at some handicrafts but I haven't come across anything that seems practical or really amazing.
For food or bevs, I've seen a lot of tea, coffee, Yunnan ham and mushrooms. Where do you guys go to buy and which brands do you normally stick to?
Any other ideas? I prefer something a little higher quality or unique if possible. Thanks.
If you had the purchasing power to affect the market, I would be grateful as well. I also like the traditional apple pie. But I can make do with the pineapple, however. Give it a go. :)

Had sometime to drop by quickly for some breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere ordered the focaccia sandwich which was nice with the chutney and had a cup of coffee that hit the spot. Both came promptly and were delicious. Didn't get to spend too much time due to an appointment but glad I got a chance to make it out. Will return.
Overall very good brunch experience. Had the eggs benedict, which was a pleasant menu for a young city like Kunming. The bloody mary and coffee was also very good. Atmosphere is a cozy outdoor veranda feel which is lush and airy although amongst a few buildings. Hope they continue the focus on quality and innovation.
Great people who care about what's going on in the shop, everything from the bread to the drinks to the atmosphere. Hope this place keeps promoting the homemade, feel good ingredients type of atmosphere!
Dropped by for brunch and coffee the other day. Great service and decent food. Cozy cafe with a small patio area, suits the purpose.
A solid place. Great food. Extensive menu. I heard it's been around for a while, interesting to see how it grows with Kunming's fast development with the rest of wenlinjie changing quite fast.
Getting Away: Inle Lake revisited

Chiang Mai's Chinese invasion
Posted byExcellent article! Very informative piece on an obscure but snowballing impact of Chinese tourists on neighboring countries. Sure China has the most number of millionaires in the world but a slow growth in the middle class, who are also curious and travel hungry, will spark budget / mid level tourism. Thanks for the write up.
Deputy mayor answers 12345 hotline
Posted byI believe the top boys in the Yunnan government are very progressive minded, perhaps stemming from links to the central government in Beijing. I'm glad to see not only development initiative but also outreach to the community.
Riding into Kunming's future
Posted byFun read, got to love the excitement and buzz over the new airport. I expect a lot more to come with Kunming's rapid development, as you guys have noted! I feel quite fortunate to be able to witness this transitioning period of a Chinese city.
