Take but #55 to the old West bus station, get off and walk to the opposite of the street. Walk down the alley you see descending and you'll find a cluster of zhaodaisuo (hostels) serving students, and maybe you. The Think UK apartment complex is next door. I don't know the prices but they can't be too high. Expect simple accomodations.
Richard Dawkins: by reputation, a first-rate geneticist, but a crap historian. At least not a vile cheer-leader for mass-murder in Iraq and Afghanistan, like his competitor, C. Hitchens.

Fine. Do they teach evolution in the biology classes?
"There's also a GIGANTIC TCM place across from that huge temple who's name escapes me"
Yuan Tong Temple.
You might also try Bai Yun Tao Bao City, on Bai Yun Lu, a block or so east of the intersection with Bei Jing Lu. It's a couple blocks east of the site of the former huge open air market on Bai Yun Lu. I suspect that about 1/2 the vendors have moved to Tao Bao.
No results found.
The beer is good. The food, OK, if you're dying for something Western. Food service is better in the daytime, mamahuhu in the night time.
I haven't stayed in their guesthouse, but I'll guess it's noisy in the night times.
Prague Cafe in Bei Chen Walking Street is Prague III.
There are other branches in Wen Lin Jie and in Lijiang.
I've been a long time customer of the Wen Lin branch.
Both Kunming branches are pleasant places to meet and chat with friends.
The food may not be the cheapest, but the cheapest would be from the street vendors.
I meet and drink coffee with friends at the Wen Lin PC several times weekly, especially since the Yun Joy Cafe is no more.
I've been drinking Beer Lao and coffee here, off and on for some years.
It's always a pleasant place to relax. The food is good as well. Close to cheap hotels and bike rental on Manting Lu, too.
Around Town: Yunnan Provincial Museum
Posted byThe City Museum and the museum next the Minority Villages tourist attraction are also good.
Land mines and coffee in Wenshan
Posted byIf lots more people raise coffee, the price sure to drop. In much of the world, coffee is not profitable for this reason.
I suppose farmers can still plant food crops between the coffee trees. Maybe alternating rows of coffee and tea plants would avoid too much boom and bust.
Has anyone tried cacao in Banna?

Yes. There ought to be more small shi chang and night markets, not less.

Pretty much what I think of the anti-vendor, everyone-must-have-a-license-to-breathe sorts.
