Thanks so much! I was hoping that there would be dancing in the squares...That is my favorite type.

Thank you Dazzer-I wasn't looking for criticism. I really am looking for the positive aspects of the city. Also, if no one wants to go there, it is clearly a school that needs teachers!

I am interested in learning if any one has spent time in Gejiu and what they have done there. There seems to be very little information in books and on the web :)

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Whats good in Gejiu?

Hey All,

I got an ESL job in Gejiu for the year. I would love some insight from other people who have lived/been in Gejiu. Are there any dance schools/gyms/places to bike? Is there a decent bike shop where I could BUY a bike? How easy is it to be social in Gejiu? Is the dialect very different from Kunminghua?

I am also interested in travel ideas, especially ones that involve biking. I would love to hear about trips that go up, down, or across Yunnan. I'll have a residence permit, so I'm not sure if I want to cross borders or not. It almost feels like it might be faster to bike to Kunming than take a bus...what do you think?
