"4 hour wait, #46th in line.."
I'd argue that's quality care. The longer the wait, the more meticulous doctors are with their patients.
Docs w/ high patient demands are usually reserved for specialized head physicians (主任) of a department. Sought after chiefs could amass well over 100 per afternoon.
Little wait time = rushed, or inexperienced doctors with low rep. few want to see.
Yet it's interesting CNN survives the long winter despite being most critical and vocal in protest coverage.
Some municipalities have stricter VPN regulations than others. Perhaps GoKunming can enlighten us on VPN regulations here in Yunnan.
According to Chongqing Municipal Public Security Bureau's website,
"If an individual accesses international network privately or via 'illegal channels,' or offers related services without authorization, they could be fined up to 15,000 yuan."

To the dismay of our British friends, The Guardian is now banished beyond the northern walls of the Seven Kingdoms.
The Washington Post is also added to the list of casualties.
Not an ad, nor promotion.
My post since deleted contained download links to legit unlocked software catering to OP's purposes.
This website probably do not endorse posting download links of free pirated software. No grievances held. The original price for that point of sale app costs a steep USD199. Supporting the app developer is fine with me.
Best of luck to entrepreneurs such as vikalina with business aspirations in Yunnan. May your catering business flourish.

Posted byI stopped short of naming it "Holy Mountain" as that would carry Abrahamic connotations. Sacred Mountain probably has a better ring for the Tibetan Bon & Buddhism motif.
RIP to 11 victims of Mt. Everest just last month. They need stricter regulations on the south Nepal side.

Book Review: Lost Horizon
Posted byAn article titled "In search of the real Shangri-La" on Lost Horizon and Shanghai-la was republished three days ago on the Telegraph:
www.telegraph.co.uk/china-watch/travel/the-real-shangri-la/
"'The place described in the book Lost Horizon has never been disclosed, but we knew it was Muli and the surrounding area' - Xuan Ke, son of Joseph Rock's secretary who organised the translation of Lost Horizon into Mandarin in the 1970s"
Work commences on Lijiang-Shangri-la Railroad
Posted byJust returned. If all goes well, the high speed rail (HSR) from Kunming to Shangri-La is scheduled to run next year.
In the second to last paragraph, it's difficult to imagine any trains would run through Deqen ["Deqin"] given its challenging mountain terrains and its "godly mountain" (神山) reputation given by locals. Townsfolk are wary of the environmental degradation caused by over-tourism in the event of a HSR station perched along their sacred Deqen mountain range. Although Shangri-La to Tibet HSR is planned which seemingly passes through that NW direction. An update on that would be appreciated.
Between Shangri-La and Deqen is Balagezong Shangri-La Grand Canyon National Park, This 4-starred attraction opened to public just last year with deeper mountainous road accessibility than ever before. The grand canyon view near the summit is spectacularly surreal. FIY, for 70 bucks more per day, local guides will take you further than park shuttles normally traverse by hiking special paths.
GoKunming (or affiliates) should definitely do a piece on Balagezong. The local hero/entrepreneur who spent a decade depleting his entire fortune (~40M) and borrowing hundreds of millions to connect his remote mountainous village to the world ought to be featured.
