Forums > Living in Kunming > Changing CNY to $$$ Bridge. I am sure you have been to this area before. It is about a 40 minute walk from where you are. At Ren Min Middle Road turn onto Dong Feng Road and reach the end to nanping Jie - There is a big plaza and you can not miss the big Bank of China.
These women earn a small profit from changing money and they do not want to ruin their business by passing counterfit notes. I tried changing money in the bank once and took nearly an hour. The women outside the bank will change money is less than 5 minutes. They only speak one phare in English - Change Money.
Ignore the comment made by Alien - this is NOT where you change money. Let me summarize what Alien previously wrote -I don't know the differences but my impression is that exchange rates don't vary much, so anyplace is okay, at least if you want US$.

Bus 82, 84 - Nanping Jie. Read the thread I provided with more specific directions. I have never been cheated by these women and their rates are much better than inside the bank. I have exchanged, RMB, Laos Kip, Vietnam Dong, Euros, and Dollars.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Is GoKunming mashed up for you? Yes, the forum and classifieds and comments box on the lower right side keeps changing and old threads are popping up - if you try to open one of them it opens a new page and brings you to some old stuff.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Salt - Old Towns in Yunnan Bao Feng is very nice and it is also the hometown of Dong Ze - the founder of Yunnan University. Lots of history for those who have interest. 3 small children gave a us a tour of the old town and then the father of one of the girls gave us a ride to a nearby covered bridge - Great experience!

Great article - Suit and counter suit!
Around Town: Wanda Twin Towers
Posted byI went to the construction site of the Wanda Towers in march 2013 to photograph a tiny temple - Tian Zi Miao in what was then called Tan Jia Ying Village. The tiny temple remained as construction proceeded and miraculously it survives to this day or at least until June 2015 when I was there.
I have to give the developers credit for not destroying the tiny temple. Lets hope it remains.
The temple is directly behind the towers near the corner of Qian Xing Road + Lu Yin Ave.
