Forums > Living in Kunming > Many Condo complexes (小区) are giving Covid testing

Here is the text msg I got this morning. If I understand correctly, implies I was in Tonde vicinity and potentially subject to yellow code, even though I haven't been in Kunming since Sunday evening, 2 days ago. I might have been in a vehicle near that location earlier in the weekend, however. I am planning to get daily PCR tests where I am located, several provinces away at the moment. Hope to return to Kunming in a few days.

Forums > Travel Yunnan > Covid testing, Anyone had one done in Kunming.

My experience at Yanan Hospital from several weeks ago. My wife helped me sign up for the covid test and enrolled me in the option for a report in English language. Throat swab. Next day I picked up the English report at a special table near the end of the queue for people waiting in line for the test. It was unmanned and I had to find a worker to fetch the test.

Several of my Chinese relatives tasked me with picking up their test results at the same time. I brought with me their ID cards and tried the machine, but gave up immediately, the Chinese way over my head and patience. I went to the information counter just inside the main entrance. The attendant took the cards and quickly printed out the results.

My wife just showed me her health code. She received the booster which she explained registers as a yellowish border running around the underside of the green code. Me with two shots and no booster, no yellow.

My wife works at a university in Kunming. On Friday 8/13 she received a message on the university WeChat saying that everyone in her work unit, which I believe applies to all university employees, may not travel outside Kunming.

Rugged country, beautiful pics. Nice to see these fabulous mountains from above.

I'm trying to identify the mountains shown. The top photo with the article title overlaid, is Haba Snow Mountain I'm pretty sure, based on comparison with photos I've taken from the ground.

The photo above "How do you feel about flying in such challenging locations? " shows Haba Snow Mountain on the left, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the right. In the foreground is Haba's south ridge.

The last pic, Nick's selfie, I think shows Haba Snow Mountain in the background.

You can hire a guide through any of the many guest houses in Haba Village. The author of the article stayed at Haba Snow Mountain International Youth Hostel, which is also known as Haba Snow Mountain Inn. You can find contact info at the Haba article at www.WikiVoyage.org. The "lady who owns the hostel" is Yang Xiu Lan (杨修兰). She is very helpful and gracious, even speaks a little English, with emphasis on little. Additional info on climbing the mountain can be found at www.ItinerantClimbersCollective.com, especially useful for those who who want to make the ascent on their own without guides (this assumes they already have experience with ice axe and glacier travel). The author climbed the mountain in December which is definitely off-season, and the prices mentioned are on the low side. During the standard climbing season costs are higher.
